Editorial Review for The Four Seasons – by Lucien Fletcher
The Scene
For more than four decades, the Four Seasons has been synonymous with the power lunch, where high rollers break bread and, by meal and deal's end, more than the sirloin has been devoured. Choose from two very different settings: the legendary Grill Room, with its soaring ceiling, rosewood walls, leather banquettes and rippling curtains made of brass beads. Or the romantic Pool Room featuring a gurgling marble pool framed by illuminated trees. Service is polished and exacting.
The Food
Stick with specialties like lusty civet of wild boar with pappardelle, lentil and sausage soup and the simple roast turbot with root vegetables. Entrees include grilled tuna in a pomegranate sauce, steaks, bison, and pheasant breast. Desserts rise to the occasion.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasLeave time before dinner to have a drink at the classy Grill Room bar, where it's easy and fun to play "spot the mogul."
Look GoodTables adjacent to the marble pool are the most coveted in the Pool Room. Book one in advance and look like a VIP.

I've been visiting this restaurant a lot lately and I will most indeed keep going there. The menu has a little bit of everything, the presentation is brilliant and the food is simply amazingly cooked. They seem to have changed the manager recently and the new one seems to be making a difference. The service and customer attention has improved greatly. I feel almost at home when I'm there and the serving is fast and efficient. So has the cocktail menu, too. That is certainly the way to business growth.

During our trip to NYC, we made reservations to dine in the pool room of the Four Seasons for their pre-theater menu (offering a modified menu for $65 pp). The wine list was extensive - though the staff did not seem knowledgeable about wine pairings. The bread we received was horrible - rock hard and cold - and the "free" appetizer of olives was disappointing. However, our main course was wonderful. I had fish and my husband had the filet - both of which exceeded our expectations. The dessert (we had a pear torte) was good - but, once again, the staff was unable to provide appropriate drink suggestions. When we inquired about ports - the waitress listed off several but did not know taste variations or cost. Not what I would expect for the price and prestige of this location. All in all, I would return - as it was a beautiful restaurant - but I hope the staff pays more attention to the little details in the future.
Pros: Ambience, Main Course
Cons: Price, Unknowledgeable staff
