  We went with some friends and ordered a mix of dinner entrees / tapas. the food was so-so. we had the regular paella & a vegetarian version of the same. found the mushrooms & sausage to be chewy/overcooked perhaps. one of the tapas needed a couple of reminders. Underwhelming for a restaurant of this caliber.

  I have always been a strong supporter of the Four Seasons brand. The consistency of service and quality is something I genuinely value, and I visit frequently. In just the past six months, I’ve stayed at Four Seasons Toronto, Florence, Milan, San Francisco, and Las Vegas — each delivering the elevated experience I’ve come to expect. Unfortunately, our recent dinner at Talavera at Four Seasons Arizona was a significant disappointment. The evening began beautifully — the ambiance, décor, and cocktails were exceptional and set the tone for what we anticipated would be a memorable meal. However, the experience quickly deteriorated once the food arrived. I ordered the tenderloin steak for my main course, and it was unfortunately inedible. It was extremely difficult to cut, even with a steak knife. After bringing this to our server’s attention, a second tenderloin was brought out, but it was similarly tough and again impossible to properly enjoy. While discussing the issue with the manager, Jacob, an additional service misstep occurred when water was accidentally poured into one of our wine glasses. We were enjoying an expensive bottle, so this was particularly disappointing. We then attempted to order another bottle of the same wine, only to be told it was sold out — despite being assured when we sat down that the wine list was fully stocked and nothing was unavailable. To compound matters, this dinner was in celebration of a friend’s birthday. When making the reservation, we had arranged in advance for a special treat to be presented. We even reconfirmed this arrangement by phone earlier that same day. Unfortunately, this was completely overlooked and never acknowledged before the bill was brought to the table. I will absolutely continue to visit Four Seasons properties around the world, as my experiences elsewhere have consistently been excellent. However, this particular evening was shockingly below the standard I associate with the brand. The property is beautiful and full of potential, but there is meaningful opportunity for improvement in execution and attention to detail.

  Oh boy where do I start to tell you how great this place is?! Food and service as expected is top notch. I highly recommend the lobster tails, the bone in tomahawk and American Wagyu wow. We tried every steak and those were the top choices for me. What's great is that you don't have to dress to the nines here. Smart casual will do. It's fancy but relaxed. It's the perfect balance! Stop reading this review and go!

  We've dined here several times- to our delight. This last time was a solid "meh". They changed the paella to either a meat or seafood vs. the combo they used to have. The menu seemed reduced. Even the Pan con Tomate - which we get every time -seemed different and less flavorful. Things seemed so different I asked if they had a new chef. The meal was ok but for the price, I want great.
