Coin & Candor at the Four Seasons Westlake Village is exceptional in every way. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between relaxed California comfort and elevated dining. The service is warm, polished, and attentive without ever feeling overdone — exactly what you’d expect from a Four Seasons restaurant.
Every dish that came out of the kitchen was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care behind the execution. From the first cocktail to dessert, everything felt consistent and intentional. Big shout out to the staff.

Coin & Candor is such a gem in Westlake. The Four Season's property is beautiful and this restaurant is a great extension of that. Our server Kendall was so kind and so accommodating - her service alone was enough reason to return. But thankfully the food matched the service. Off menu is the most delicious gluten free bread. Every appetizer, entree and dessert we had was perfectly prepared.

We came to the Four Seasons as a group of seven and were seated in a beautiful private space that felt very elegant. At first, it seemed like we were in for top-notch service. Unfortunately, things fell short. Our drinks took over 20 minutes to arrive, and when we asked our meals to be coursed out, everything ended up coming all at once. This made it had to enjoy the appetizers as intended and left us feeling full too quickly. After we finished some dishes, no one came by to clear the table or check in on us for quite a while. The service overall felt inconsistent. We later learned our servers were trainees, which would have been helpful to now upfront. The one standout was Mario, who checked in on us while refilling our waters, and cleared the dishes we put aside on a credenza table. His attentiveness made a big difference in the experience. Management needs to make sure people know they are being served by someone in training.
That said, the food itself was delicious. The bone-in ribeye was cooked to perfection, the oysters were fresh and delicious, the sourdough was soft and warm, and the cocktails were on point (minus the long wait). I want to give this place another chance but I will be requesting a server with experience.

This dinner was a top notch experience! From the moment we sat down, we were taken care of. First, the views of the waterfall while eating outside are just gorgeous! Then, our server was so knowledgeable, sharp and friendly! We had a perfect wine selection with the items we ate. The pasta is handmade and so good and all the farm to table fresh ingredients makes their dishes standout! We ordered the red fife sourdough bread, a pear and prosciutto salad, the house gold yukon gnocchi, the mezzanine rigatoni, the roasted Brussels sprouts, the weiser farm carrots, and an apple tartlet! The atmosphere is elegant, but not stuffy. It was a perfect dinner and evening!
