- ZBZinzu BobbyJan 2, 20265.0To celebrate a Romantic Rendezvous, I chose Quattro at the Four Seasons and she absolutely loved the complete experience. Our Lovely Dinner was defined by impeccable, personalized service, luxurious ambiance and exceptional locally inspired cuisine creating a memorable evening - one to cherish. Many Thanks to Thuong for her attentive and unhurried service. We loved the Exquisite Celebration Cocktails and the Gamberoni Grilled Jumbo Shrimp in Arrabiata Sauce on a Bed of Black Rice Perfection. An Incredible Dessert Delight of Tirami-Choux Mascarpone Mousse Whipped Coffee Ganache Ladyfingers was an All Around Sensual treat in Decadent Luxury
- OROlga RodsteinDec 20, 20255.0Sensational food, fantastic service and most beautiful holiday magic ambiance inside and outside in the Apres Village. Thank you to the staff for the delicious meal and great experience!
- AAAlex AllenDec 1, 20251.0Zero warmth, zero service When you book with Four Seasons, you are paying for the peace of mind that every detail has been considered. The Après Village experience was the exact opposite of that promise. The Atmosphere: We paid a $150 premium for a mini chalet, expecting a cozy winter sanctuary. Instead, we sat in the freezing cold. Aside from a small fire pit, there was no heating provided which is an absurd oversight for a luxury winter experience. The Service: The service was virtually non-existent. Staff were absent for long periods, brought food without silverware, and messed up our orders twice. There was a palpable lack of training, compounded by a communication barrier that made basic interactions frustrating. The staff members could not speak basic English. The Food: The culinary execution was disheartening. Most dishes arrived cold, and the quality was indistinguishable from standard theme park food and completely devoid of the creativity or quality expected at this price point ($650 for 4). This experience felt careless and visibly lacked the pride and effort that usually defines this brand.
- AAAngelica ASMRNov 29, 20255.0Great lunch option
- GLGilbert LeungOct 31, 20255.0Had dinner at Quattro and the food was excellent. But this review is 100% for our server, NURAI. She was incredible.Seriously, one of the best servers I've ever had. She was super friendly and had a really cool, positive vibe. She's the one who sold us on the linguine tagliatelle ai funghi and then let us in on the 'secret weapon' of adding short rib to it. We did, and it was insane. Her recommendations were perfect. She totally changed our dinner from just a "nice meal" into a 10/10 experience. Honestly, she's the reason we'll be back. We're already planning to bring friends just so they can have the same experience.
