    Terrible experience. Wish I could say this was different than previous times I visited. This was the last time. Probably some of the worst service I’ve experienced in my 5 years of living in New Orleans. With Four Seasons branding on the most elevated guest experience, I can surely say they fell short on this in every way — especially this last visit. There were at least 8 open table areas (not a busy time to visit) and we still waited 15 minutes from the time we sat down to be seen by someone. When we were seen, he took our order and by the time it crossed the 30+ minutes mark since ordering (and not having water) we decided to walk out. Waiter did not seem to care when I asked about our drinks. Very disappointing for a Four Season brand.

    I was very disappointed. We waited a long time before being able to place our order. On top of that, the bar was in a very poor condition. Used glasses were left everywhere and remained on the counter for a long time; it was dirty. For a hotel of this standard, this is unacceptable.

    Do not miss grabbing a drink at this bar! Not only is the ambiance amazing and the surroundings are gorgeous, the bartenders are fantastic. My friend and I had the best lemon drop martini we’ve ever had from Craig (one of the best bartenders). So much so that when my friend returned to NOLA, she sought him out to get the recipe! Highly recommend a lemon drop but ask for mint to be added - it’s super refreshing. I will warn you that the lobby runs cold so dress accordingly. At one point, I was shaking because I was so cold. I ended up asking Craig if they simply had hot water for me to sip on. He immediately went to their kitchens and returned with a porcelain kettle of hot water with a tea cup! He even checked in and refilled it without my having to ask. Overall, their customer service and the experience is top notch. Would absolutely recommend stopping in here for a few to enjoy.
