A great night!

My wife and I spent our anniversary dinner here and had a great time. The food was outstanding with very subtle flavors. The service was also the best. Guests were spread around the restaurant so that we had lots of privacy and we were treated like royalty. Anyone who wants a great night should go there!
Very Disappointing

I went to Quattro for the first time this past week for a special occasion and I was very excited because it had such great reviews, was highly rated, and is in the Four Seasons. When I asked the waiter how the braised short ribs were, he said they were amazing, off-the-bone, etc... so that's what I ordered. When I got my dish, which I order frequently at other restaurants, I was initially surprised because it looked like just one big piece of meat. So, I tried to "fork" off a piece of meat (because I am assuming a braised short rib should fall off with your fork), I could not even pierce the meat. So I then had to (literally) saw the meat with my knife - and when I bit into it, it was chewy, tough, not at all seasoned, and borderline cold. I just presumed that all restaurants are different and perhaps this was a different way to cook short ribs, so I had my boyfriend taste the meat as well. I asked the waiter whether it was supposed to be the this way, and he just repeated that it was "off the bone." With that said, I NEVER return my food, even when it doesnt meet my expectations, but this was awful! I took a couple more bites, but I just couldn't believe that this was supposed to be braised short ribs, especially at a nice restaurant such as this. So I sent it back to the kitchen... On top of that, my boyfriend ordered a whole wheat pasta w/clams and scallops and he requested alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce. I thought they were going to give him whole scallops (the dish was like $30 i THINK), but they just gave him four clams and they chopped up the scallops?! I mean, it wasn't terrible, but not what we exepcted. The good things I can say about this place are that the garlic mashed potatoes were good (we ordered this as a side), the foie gras appetizer was good, and the people were friendly... but I dont think I will be returning anytime soon.
Very Nice but Food is...

We've been to Quattro several times over the past 10 years, and I fear with the departure of the great Tim Keating a couple of years ago, the food at the Four Seasons has not recovered,
Most recently we dined there and found the food still not up to Four Seasons standards. I ordered an appetizer of a type of charlotte of chestnut puree, which was unremarkable. The butternut squash goat cheese ravioli was obviously reheated, which was soft in the center portions, but hard on the edges. My main course of filet mignon with garlic spinach, mashed potatoes was excellent. Then a crash back to earth with the bitter chocolate tart, which was cold and soggy on the bottom from being poorly defrosted.
The service is still first rate, as is the atmosphere. We like coming here because of the surroundings, and one can have a conversation without having to shout. But the food was disappointing. Four Seasons - please do something about the kitchen.
- Pros: Ambience, service, wine list
- Cons: food needs help
Young professionals are welcome

Marisaro....your email doesn't read as a "professional". You may want to take a few grammar and spelling classes. This isn't the place for you...try Bennigan's.
Worst service ever!

Service was terrible, as a young attrative professionals we deserved better then that then to be treated like children. The desert menu was beyond odd, who really wants tomtoes in their dessert? The food was ok. Honestly it was a waste of $111.00 we spent on our "unromantic" meal. Aged populations were obviously treated much better then young professionals.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Too many to list.
Excellent Italian American Food in Beautiful Setting

Everything about my husband and I's time at Quattro was fabulous! Our cocktails were wonderful, there home made bread and olives...amazing. My fennel and parsnip soup was very tasty. My husbands Grilled Portobella mushroom salad was delicious. We shared a filet mignon and mushroom risotto which was excellent from first bite to last. The wine list is lengthy and packed full of hard to find gems. Very romantic.
- Pros: Food, Ambience, Wine List
Four Seasons restaurant features fashionable Italian dining in Euro-sleek style.

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 buttery corn and shelling peas. Well-executed penne pasta is lavish, with trebbiano wine-cream sauce, spicy chicken, shrimp and fennel sausage. Scrumptious miniatures like the rustic pear tart or tropical mango mousse allow you to get your just desserts.
- Pros: Superb people watching
- Cons: Expensive on-site parking
A hotel find...

They have excellent service. A dim room makes for a great atmosphere. Watch for special dining events.

Wonderful Ambiance and Food

I have now dined at Quattro twice in the last few months and both times I have been thoroughly impressed. The lamb chops 'n' shank is out of this world. Wonderful wine selection. This restaurant is a wonderful place for a date or a quiet dinner with friends. Service is above average but nothing special. If I had to complain, I would say they need to work a little on their dessert selection.
- Pros: Food, Wine, Ambiance
- Cons: Dessert
