The Scene – This hotel restaurant is curvaceous and elegant, with an antipasti bar, silky banquettes, mod Italian lighting and stunning private rooms. Discriminating travelers and movers and shakers fill this bustling downtown destination known for accommodating service and exclusive wines. – – The Food – For a cool taste of the Italian Mediterranean, catch the seafood tower stacked with fresh lobster, shrimp, oysters, a daily seviche and mussels. Dine American style on a juicy rib eye with fragrant truffled fries or the superb smoky double-grilled pork chop piled with…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Wines available by the glass and in three-ounce samplers.
- When to Go:
- This downtown restaurant gets busy at lunch. Avoid the two-hour business lunch by letting the waitstaff know that you're on a schedule.
- Know Before You Go:
- The kitchen closes from 2:30pm to 5pm and at 10pm, but the bar remains open during those hours and until closing.
- Save Money:
- Hit the antipasti bar for lunch: It features more than 20 different choices daily, plus pizza and made-to-order pasta.

Would not recommend or return.
by JemmarieGrace
Upon arrival at the Four Season's Hotel, we valet parked our car and the gentleman was very sweet and friendly. When we got to the hostess station, she asked if we had a reservation. We told her we didn't, she was warm and accommodating and sat us in a quiet part of the restaurant. Our waitress came and introduced herself and showed us the menu and the wine list. Then came back quickly with our water. Then we waited... awhile for her to come back to take our order. After our order was taken, we were waiting for our bread to come. It never did. I had to ask for it after we were served our dinner. Which took longer than anticipated to arrive. My son's fettuccine Alfredo with chicken came without chicken. But he was too hungry from waiting, he couldn't wait and started eating. My husband's pizza with prosciutto and arugula and Pecorino Romano cheese was okay. My husband would not order it again. My halibut was cooked perfectly, but I did not enjoy the taste or texture of the brownish sauce that was served with it. There were two other painted sauces on my plate. A red one and a yellow one. Both did not do anything for the halibut and both we crusted onto my plate as if it had been sitting under a heating lamp for awhile and it baked onto the plate. At the end of our meal when I asked our waitress for our check, I also mentioned that my son's dish was missing chicken. She replied by telling me that I should've told her in the beginning of the meal. Yes, when my son was so hungry he couldn't wait any longer to eat. After she returned with our payment, she again said sorry about the chicken, but I should've said something in the beginning, she could've gotten the chicken for us. I'm sorry, we are here to pay for a service. It is not my responsibility to make sure what you serve us is exactly what you promised on the menu. Excuse yourself for making your patron feel like it was her fault there was no chicken on the dish. Overall, the food was mediocre at best and the service was below standard for this type of institution. The only upside is that they validate parking/valet and the valet service is quick, efficient, and friendly. I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to the Quattro experience based on the reviews I've read. Very misleading reviews. I would not recommend this eatery or be a return customer.
Fanciest Waffles in HTown
by AnaTHouston , Citysearch Contributor
Waffling means to go back and forth...yeah, to the waffle station at Quattro. If you have a fat wallet and you are devout fan of National Waffle Day, you can't go wrong with the Four Seasons' brunch.
Simple, warm maple syrup over a fresh, toasty mini waffle, makes one forget about filling up with overly-decorated waffles, bland pancakes, or heavy bagels from the regular breakfast greasy-spoons. Create each mini waffle with different fruit and fresh whipped cream for dessert, and order your coffee black to contrast the tastes. Kids can also order Belgian waffles with warm maple syrup from the children's menu.
The Four Seasons is known for their best brunch in any city, but I would only go here if I were splurging for Thanksgiving or Christmas to experience their lavish decorations and taste a variation of gourmet versions of traditional dishes. Brunch during the holidays is close to $80 per person and close to $30 for kids. Hopefully, you have a small family with a big appetite.
- Pros: Fresh
- Cons: Expensive brunch
Thanks for a HORRIBLE 4th Anniversary
by elemenoh
On a scale of 1-10, Quattro rates a 3
***I would not recommend this restaurant***
Michael our waiter/server was, in a single word… RUDE. When I’m being more polite than the waiter/server, there’s a problem. I’m not, by nature, a rude or impolite person, but it was everything I could do to stop myself from being rude right back at him. When Quattro hired this guy, they really did their restaurant a disservice. Whether having a bad day or not, it’s the waiters/servers job to represent the establishment and put on the face of someone that really cares about your dining experience. Michael was rude, impolite, uncaring, unresponsive and in general, an a$$. Michael acted like it was a chore for him to be waiting on us. He didn’t come by and offer refills on my tea or water, nor offer more wine when my wife was nearing the bottom of her glass. The food was delivered to the table by someone else, and it’s customary for a waiter/server to swing by the table immediately following delivery of the food and ask “Is everything okay”. Our table wasn’t visited even once during the entire meal. We SAW him several times through the course of the meal, but it was fleeting and he didn’t so much as glance in our direction. Michael acted like it was a chore for him to be waiting on us. He didn’t come by and offer refills on my tea or water, nor offer more wine when my wife was nearing the bottom of her glass. He really would be better suited working at a Sonic or a McDonalds or a Whataburger or someplace like that, and I think I may be doing Sonic, McDonalds & Whataburger a disservice by saying that. Even THEY have better service than what we received during the course of our meal.
Thanks to The Four Seasons Hotel, Houston, Quattro and all their staff for making our 4th Anniversary one that we’ll not soon forget. We will not be returning to your establishment, and we’ll be sure and tell everyone we know about this experience.
- Pros: Coffee, Wine, Dessert
- Cons: Food, Service, Managers
