What People Are Saying About Four Seasons-San Francisco

Four floors up at the Four Seasons, and seemingly miles away from Market Street, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Brazilian cherry wood-lined dining room of this restaurant bring the tops of Union Square buildings to eye level, and pedestrians are tiny; one feels instantly above it all here. You'll also notice, despite the piano being played and nearby conversations being had, how eerily, blissfully quiet it is--if other restaurants walk around in clogs on hardwood floors, this one pads around on carpet in slippers. Service is formal, though not overbearing or hurried; servers know that in a setting so comfortable (and pricey), guests will take their sweet time with dinner, as they should. Your fellow diners, a well-dressed mix of Four Seasons guests, business types, and special occasion diners, might come for the steak--and wouldn't be wrong--but under chef Mark Richardson, Seasons now offers sumptuous seasonal tasting menus, along with produce-centric California cuisine, interpreted through the decadent luxury hotel prism, of course.

I expected nothing less: you just can't go wrong with Four Seasons. My first visit to the FS in SF. A pretty new and fresh looking product (6 yeras old I believe). Room condition great with the latest gadgets such as LG LSD flat screens. Staff always friendly and courteous especially at Reception and Concierge. Always a smile and a sincere thank you. Complimentary use of the adjoining SportsClub LA with its huge fitness and Spa facility is a great amenity even though some of the equipment seems a little outdated. Location of the hotel is great even though the main entrance is a little tricky to find.

I was dragged to Seasons by a friend of mine who lives in the city. All I could think was, ?Another hotel restaurant?? I assumed the service would be pretentious and the food bland and boring?. I was so wrong!! Seasons is now my favorite steak restaurant in the city. I had sliced Kobe Beef, it was cooked to perfection; it literally melted in my mouth! My friend had the Rib-Eye steak (it was huge!) which was buttery and served with a tangy green sauce. For appetizers go for the salads! The vegetables were fresh and crunchy and one salad had sliced fresh figs with Arugula, the bitter greens and sweet fruit are a great match. All I have to say about dessert is, get the chocolate souffle. When served this sinful dessert they drop a homemade hazelnut candy into the center and top it off with ice cream. The candy dissolves into the fluffy souffle goodness and the ice cream melts over the top making a combination of tastes, textures and temperatures that is flawless. My experience at Seasons was one of the best I?ve had in the city. The staff are all so accommodating: from the smiling hostess to our waiter who easily answered all of our questions about the menu and offered fantastic suggestions when we were unable to decide. This is not the pretentious hotel-restaurant I expected. This restaurant has got service and food down to an art, how come more locals don?t know about this place??
