We visited for a my birthday dinner. We booked an indoor seat because it was cold, but the outdoor seat was already full term. The food was generally delicious and the service was satisfactory. It was a perfect evening except for the surprise that the family of the side table made a few loud noises in the middle. At first, I made a reservation at 6:30 am. by mistake, but I was so embarrassed because it was no-show. Be careful when making reservations through the open table. We have also created a small theme park full of Christmas atmosphere, so I strongly recommend you to try it out.

Food is great. But it feels the restaurant, the place itself is not that cozy or warm-welcome. Staff members are quite professional.

Beautiful restaurant and amazing food! Definitely try the burger which is made of short rib beef and comes with Parmesan fries!! The fries were super crispy and perfectly cooked along with the juicy burger with white cheddar! The Burrata is such a lovely and flavorful appetizer! Absolutely delicious dish!! Fresh burrata and tomatoes with a balsamic glaze and greens. Highly recommend!!

Superb Italian cuisine and fantastic food and bar service. Greg served up a unique cacao Negroni, and Nurai and Ruben treated me like family. The rotating daily soup is absolutely worth a try. Their tomato basil was one of the best I've ever had, and the burrata and ham pizza was spectacular. If you like peppery reds, the Ravel and Stich Central Coast cab is a winner.

Excellent option for dinner!! The service was great, the dishes well executed and the menu changes every so often to offer local and seasonal products. The size portions are just right, good enough ambience.

Let me start by saying the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. I was here for my birthday and they we're really attentive. OMG the food was great the flavors was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant is really beautiful. I will be visiting again and bring others with me so they can experience and taste every single delicious meal they offer here .

When we decided to go to Quattro we had no idea that it was in a hotel lol. Quattro is in a Four Seasons which was unexpected but completely tracked with how nice of a place it was. We had the most friendly host and waiter and the service was fantastic overall. The food was incredible. I ordered the French Toast because that is one of my breakfast foods and on the menu it comes with berries. Since I’m not too much of a fan of berries I asked for it without them and the waiter asked if I’d like a different fruit. I asked what my options were and he said banana so that is what I went with! It was cool that I could make a swap and still get something that I’d like because I feel like the fruit added a different element. Super good food. Pricey, but, it is a Four Seasons in Palo Alto so I’m pretty sure it’s standard for brunch out in that area.

One of the best dining experiences in the Bay area. We were asked if we want to dine in or out. We dined outdoors as the exterior baby and Christmas lights were mesmerizing. The seating was super comfortable, perfect for a date night. They also had a comforter quilt, for people who feel cold. The food came in without taking too long in pretty looking dishes. Pumpkin Risotto was out of the world and I highly recommend it. Maitake Friti was mushroom based, deep fried and was very good. Some opportunities: The fireplace looks very nice but it did not give us heat, as it was a bit further away from the seating area. Thankfully we had enough clothes on us, and a throw on the seating helped. I wish they had a heater. The TV in the outdoors was not functional. The Sicilian Cauliflower was okay-ish, and it will not be a bad idea to update its recipe. The menu has limited vegetarian options, some more would be appreciated. Some music in the outdoors would not be a bad idea either. Overall we had an AMAZING date night, and great food. Would like to come again.

Did a staycation at the Four Seasons Hotel & decided to eat at their restaurant downstairs. Excellent choice! Dinner & dessert were wonderfully made along with their excellent customer service & the ambiance inside & outside are perfect. Love how they setup the hotel during Christmas & the food couldn't have not been any better. I had leftover for a midnight snack since I worked two entrees.

This review is 3.5 stars. My friend and I tried the 1001 Nights Pop Up at Quattro to celebrate her completion of a major exam. This was a Prix fixe menu for $85 per person and is four courses: two appetizers, an entree, and a dessert. We had nice time, but we did experience some of the concerns I've seen articulated in other reviews. Ambiance: The did a great job with the decor. Colorful tents that you can reserve for an additional cost line the entryway. I love the color combinations they selected for the event-The draperies lining the tents were a rich magenta and orange, with teal leather cushions on the seating. The tents are separated with gold, latticed dividers and have beautiful middle eastern lamps hanging from the ceiling. In the non-tented dining area, a massive gold middle eastern style lamp sits in the middle, with lamps strung above the tables. There was also a belly dancer on the night we were there, which was really well done and added to the experience. Service: Our server was very friendly. We had a number of questions and she was very helpful in answering them. We were taking our time and were not in a rush, but we noticed that when we did order things it took some time for our food to come out. This worked well between the appetizers and the main. But we ordered tea and a little later ordered our dessert and those two items took quite some time to arrive. They didn't seem especially busy so it is unclear why there was a delay. It seems to me that this might be a kitchen issue. Food: The food was good, but not mind-blowing. For the appetizers, we got to select two each from the dips, salads, and hot mezzes. We ordered the Muhammara (red pepper walnut dip with pomegranate molasses), the fattoush salad (romaine, tomato, cucumber, pomegranate molasses dressing, and pita crisps) , the cheese rolls, and the falafel. My friend, who is Egyptian, said that she has had better Muhammara before. It was my first time having it, and I thought it was quite tasty and had a tang to it, but I would have preferred it a little less sweet. I loved the fattoush salad-the crunchiness of the pita crisps and the freshness of the dressing. I could eat this salad all the time. My friend and I night agreed that the falafel wasn't anything special. But the cheese rolls--oh my. Order these! I have issues with dairy, so, I had to limit my consumption. But the foodie in me had to give it a try at least, even in light of the consequences I would later face for my dairy-laden indiscretion. The cheese was perfectly melty and the crunch from the puffed pastry outside was oh so good. I would have eaten them all if I could. For the entrees, I ordered the Moroccan Stew and my friend ordered the sea bass. The Moroccan Stew was a winner. It's braised beef short ribs in a sauce of prunes, apricots, and ras el hanout, served with couscous. The sauce was rich and sweet at the same time, and the short ribs were incredibly tender. The sea bass was served with a pepper and tomato stew with harissa tahini. Unfortunately, the sea bass was dry. No amount of the sauce that went with it (which wasn't that flavorful) could rescue it. My friend even tried dipping it in the Moroccan Stew to see if that would improve the situation. It did, but only marginally. For dessert, we had Moroccan mint tea, the Levantine Pistachio Tiramisu, and the Dragon's Beard Candy Ice Cream. The Moroccan Mint Tea is caffeinated, so beware if that is a concern for you, but it was sweet (but not too sweet) and delicious. Both our desserts were tasty, but I'd say that the Tiramisu was excellent. It was made with pistachio cream, orange blossom, and a baklava sheet on top. It was light, creamy, and not too sweet. I would not miss out on this one. On the ice cream, Dragon's Beard candy is like cotton candy so the ice cream had these strands of candy on top that were very much like cotton candy. I don't remember what the flavors were exactly of the ice cream-something like pistachio and saffron. The ice cream was very good, but not as good as the tiramisu, in my opinion. Overall, I'd give it an A+ on atmosphere and a B/B- on the food-some dishes were very good, others were meh. We had a nice time here, and I'd recommend if you are looking for an experience, but set your expectations accordingly.

Restaurant in the Four Seasons, Brewed coffee and Cappuccino were pretty MEH. California Omelet, Huevos Rancheros, Egg Frittata and Pancakes were decent but for the price and being Four Seasons expected more. Service was five stars, but that is expected given the hotel.

Very overpriced, but I think that's obvious when you're eating at the four seasons. It's good service, though it's not consistently so. Sometimes no one seems to be working - but I can't fault them for having difficulty staffing. The food tastes good. Nothing is incredible or wowing you. But it's solid. Though sometimes you get a dud.

This is just for their weekend brunch service: Every time we go, it's been great. Service is top notch. Food is above average and surprisingly the desserts are always amazing. M most recently we went for the Mother's Day brunch. They had a beautiful unlimited salad bar where you can take whatever you want and because it was mom's day they added a seafood station as well. The seafood station had giant poached shrimp and seared scallops?!, so you know my main course would be the one that reheated well The dessert hallway was stocked with at least 8 different kinds of petit fours, fruit and even a few gluten free options. It wasn't cheap but it was elegant and the food was plentiful. I certainly recommend this place for a special occasion or a holiday meal.

This review is exclusively for their dining event, "1001 Nights". We booked the experience via OpenTable. The event was an inclusive 4 course meal (not counting the warm focaccia bread and a welcoming rose water beverage), they presented a menu in which you would select 2 dishes from either the salads, appetizers, or dips sections. Then choose 1 entree (beef, chicken, veg or fish), followed by a dessert (4 choices: ice cream, fruit salad, tiramisu, or milk pudding). This was outdoors in the patio section of the Quattro restaurant. Pretty elaborately decorated. There was also a belly dancer who came out once an hour, and in different outfits to wow and entertain us. Service was friendly, however they almost skipped our main course and rushed us into dessert. Forgivable mistake, since they were actually pretty nice. (FYI 20% service charge will automatically be included when you receive your bill)

This review is based on a combo of bar service 2 days & one lunch on the patio. The 3 stars was for the lack of service. Service was not 5 star, it was 2-3 star. The food was fine. This bar/restaurant is inside the luxury 5 star Four Seasons Hotel, where typically service is outstanding. This was the first time I've ever been to a Four Seasons where we stood next to the bar for about 7 minutes, while people behind the bar put away dishes & went back and forth to the kitchen & never said a word to us? To top it off, there were two girls at the hostess stand that also just stared at us periodically, until finely after our seven minutes, I walked over and asked is your bar open or closed? They simply said it's open. I mean, did they think we were standing there for the health of it? No apology no asking us to please have a seat, very unusual lack of service for Four Seasons. There was literally nobody at the bar, so we sat down, and it was probably another five minutes before someone asked if we wanted a menu. I'm going to guess that they were on a shift change, but that should not be the guest's problem. Having said all that, our food was very good, but extremely pricey (as we expected, but you're also typically paying for exquisite service which we did not have). We had a cheese board that was nice, our wine was $23 a glass, but we enjoyed it. I don't think that the guy behind the bar was actually the bartender. He was trying to make drinks and was reading how to make them and was supposed to be making a non-alcoholic drink for someone and messed up and put in it. He nicely offered us that drink for free so that was a bonus that we accepted given that we were disgruntled earlier. We did tip him well also, since that free cocktail was $25. We returned for lunch on the patio the following day, and Service was OK but just different than any other Four Seasons that I've been to. I chalked it up to employees being new and maybe unsure of them themselves. I loved the EGGPLANT MOUTABAL which is Smoked Eggplant Puree, Pomegranate Seeds (DF), (VG) with pita bread. The dip, outstanding, but the pita bread was not the freshest nor was it warm. We decided to just go with their house Quattro burger, which was huge and yummy & neither of us could finish it. It was very good and it came with a large hot crispy portion of fries. We had a bottle of wine on the patio, which they did chill for us and come back and pour periodically so that was nice. The outdoor patio is beautiful with the flowers and the fountain. Anyway, my 3 stars is because this was least impressive all around 2 days I've had a Four Seasons restaurant.

Located at the Four Seasons, Quattro's patio is the setting for pop-up restaurant 1,001 Nights. Reservations are available via Open Table. For dinner, there is an $85 per person set menu which includes focaccia; sample of rose lemonade; two items chosen from their selection of salads, dips, or hot mezzes; one signature spiced dish; & one dessert. My group of five shared our dishes. Everything I tried was tasty & well made: muhammara (red pepper & walnut dip), falafel, sumac potatoes, vermicelli rice which accompanied my main dish chicken taouk. The delicious garlic dip, called toum, made it onto every bite I took. Desserts of pistachio tiramisu, milk pudding with rose water & pistachio, & berry salad were the perfect sweets to end our meal. DJ, belly dancer, & henna artist are available on certain days & times, completing the immersive "Arabian Nights" theme. The centerpiece is a giant magic lamp & traditionally-inspired lanterns decorate every surface. Also available to reserve is an "Arabian tent" for $150 per person; costly, considering this is in addition to the set menu price. A couple service issues knocks them down to three stars: they were sold out of quite a few items, limiting our menu options. Dinner unnecessarily lasted almost three hours; the significant lag between courses was unacceptable. I can get behind a leisurely meal but it was apparent the staff was not prepared to accommodate the guests partaking in the pop-up experience. A fun summer event not without its miscalculations, however the surprisingly good offerings were the saving grace.

Quattro is a restaurant in Four Seasons hotel, which has plenty of parking. The hotel itself was nice and quiet on a weekend, and I dined in their terrace area for the 1001 Nights experience, which had a prix fixe menu you could choose from. The concept was good, decorations and ambiance were nice, and they had a belly dancer who came out once an hour to dance and entertain with sword balancing. First they served a small free welcome drink shot, which was Jallab (rose water). It was actually really good and refreshing, and I liked the additional crunch of the pine nuts. The bread and spread they provided were also really good, but things went downhill from here. For appetizers, I ordered the falafels, beet salad, sumac potatoes, and cheese rolls. The beet salad was colorful and good, but the cheese rolls were a bit dry. The sumac potatoes honestly looked and tasted like cubed hotel breakfast potatoes with some spices sprinkled on top. The falafels tasted like the microwavable ones from the supermarket. For entrées, I got the beef shawarma and beef stew. The beef shawarma had potential but was extremely oily, and the pita underneath just absorbed all the oil and became inedible. The beef stew was really flavorful and paired well with the couscous. The best part of the meal was the dessert, and I got the milk pudding and tiramisu. The milk pudding was very refreshing without being too heavy, and the tiramisu was also delicious. The food was a hit or miss, but the service was atrociously slow. The restaurant wasn't even busy or full, but our server barely came to check on us. She was nowhere to be found, and we had to flag down multiple servers to refill water. The food pacing was equally as bad: the appetizers were served half an hour apart, and it took another 30 minutes to get togo boxes and the bill after dessert was finished and cleared off. We were there for over 3 hours, which felt like an eternity as we were constantly waiting or trying to flag down servers. For a high end experience at a Four Seasons hotel, this level of service was absolutely not acceptable. You can definitely get better food and service elsewhere at this price point.

Stayed the night at Four Seasons and had breakfast here It was good breakfast. The huevos ranchero was good. So was my pancakes and bacon. The real kicker, our son got pancakes with chocolate chips (not on the menu) and it was really, really good. I should have ordered the same. Service was good and the staff was super friendly. Hotel restaurants are usually hit or miss, I will say for breakfast this place is good

We recently dined at Quattro after staying at the Four Seasons. The ambiance was okay but the quality of the food was a straight up disappointment. The eggs benedict and egg white frittata were heavily under seasoned, but the nail on the coffin was the moldy berries. This was off-putting, considering the otherwise high standards of the restaurant. While I appreciate the server taking the berries off our bill, it is hard to overlook the fact that moldy mushy berries should not have been served in the first place for a hotel restaurant of this caliber. I hope this incident serves as a constructive feedback for the management to ensure that such lapses do not recur in the future.

Located inside the Four Seasons hotel. Ambience was nice with lots of natural lighting. Visited with a large group with pre fixe menu. Our service was about three dishes behind our neighboring table. Table shared charcuterie which was all great. Started with beef carpaccio (which was more of a tartare) lacked flavor and was honestly pretty plain. The cocktail waitress recommended was Bellissima (VSOP, cranberry and hibiscus) was refreshing and made well.I opted for the steak option and it was over cooked and not seasoned. Lastly chose the tiramisu which had dry parts of the breading (ladyfingers were not completely soaked). Expected more as it is the Four Seasons but was not impressed with any of their dishes unfortunately.

I went here for a birthday event. The ambient was great- peaceful, elegant, good service The focaccia bread was so yummy. It took some time for them to make it but the bread was fluffy and tasty... well worth the wait. This was probably my favorite item of the meal. I also ordered the blue salmon. It came with stir fried potatoes and veggies. The salmon was moist, tasty and had a crispy skin. First few bites were so delicious but felt old and boring very soon. I ordered strawberry daiquiri (off the menu). Yummy! Love it. Overall 4 stars

This is a fantastic bar. It's cozy, warm, nice little lounge with minimal decor. I came here with my wife a few weeks ago and it was a beautiful evening. Because it's the holidays, the hotel had decorated the bar nicely so we felt the holiday spirit. Their cocktail menu is pretty expensive but then again, we are in the heart of Silicon Valley and the bar is inside a Four Seasons hotel. Drinks averaged at about $20-$25 a glass which is pricey. I would love to come back again though with my wife and enjoy a few glasses and even some appetizers! Nevertheless, I still had a great time and the drinks were fantastic.

A warm current welcomes June, and finally it's time to put on a chiffon dress and sit outside while sipping on a delicious steak! Over the weekend, I went to Quattro, a restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel in Palo Alto, with my friends. I've always liked this place because the ambiance is great, and they have outdoor dining. It's usually not noisy, making it perfect for chatting with friends and building relationships. Their service is also excellent. For example, when I mentioned that I didn't like the bread that came with the caviar, the waitress immediately arranged for the chef to prepare a similar bread that I would enjoy. The service was attentive and thoughtful. I think there are a few dishes worth mentioning that are suitable for sharing between two people: Caviar: Royal Ossetra ($135 for 30g) - The price is reasonable, and it's a favorite among caviar enthusiasts. Enjoy it with bread and sauces, and it's a delight! Lamb Polpette ($28) - The taste is good, and the sauce is well-seasoned! The texture is also enjoyable. However, if you're dining as a pair, this appetizer might be a bit too much, so you can skip it. Lobster Tajarin in French Style ($50) - When it was first served, I had my doubts. Is this really worth $50? But with one bite, it instantly won me over! It's not the typical rich Alfredo sauce like in Italian cuisine, but a unique combination of lemon and French sauce with a hint of spicy oil. It was absolutely stunning! Even though I'm not a lobster lover, I have to admit that the pasta was even more delicious! 40-Day Dry-Aged Angus Rib-Eye ($72) - The only option they have for steak is this dry aged rib-eye, and it's truly delicious! It's incredibly juicy! I was concerned that an aged steak might have an off taste or be too dry, but the meat was tender and flavorful. They really put effort into the seasoning! I highly recommend their steak!

While the ambience is cute, and the food was tasty, the service left much to be desired. First, the hostess never checked us in left and never returned. a couple showed up in between and they were seated before we were. Mind you we were there 30 minutes before our reservation. Once we were seated, we requested a heat lamp and were told by our waitress that they would be able to bring one in 5 minutes. Much more time than that passed and thanks to one of the bus boys, after I asked him, now he brought us one over. I should mention that we began our evening at the bar and ordered a bottle of champagne which was brought to the table. At no time did anyone refill our glasses which I would expect at any restaurant especially at a Four Seasons. So realizing that wasn't going to happen, I took upon doing it myself. I had to ask for a towel that I could use to wipe the bottle to pour for ourselves. And, that was like an act of Congress and took forever. Somewhere in the middle of that, the hostess came over and brought us a welcome drink. She proceeded to tell us what was in it and then forgot the last ingredient and said she would check and come back. Needless to say, we never saw her again. Good thing none of us were allergic to anything we were drinking . We tasted it and carried on with our evening. As I said, the food was tasty, but not enough to warrant ever going back to this place or for me to ever recommend them. I've been too many at Four Seasons, the last and most recent was the one in the Serengeti, which was incredible. This was the antithesis of that experience. Then this morning I took a look at my bank statement to discover that they put a $200 hold on my card that was never mentioned. I should say when we paid the bill that also took forever. The actual charge for dinner has processed already so everything was paid for. I don't understand what kind of business they're running over there, but I don't appreciate the hold on my card and I sincerely hope that they have management train, their staff. It was simply an unacceptable experience for a Four Seasons restaurant. Oh, and I forgot to mention that it was also supposed to be a birthday celebration, which makes all of this even that much worse.

May not be the healthiest, but it's gluten free heaven when it comes to delicious meals and dessert!!! Their dessert(s) were simply pronominal, whether it was at the restaurant, or with room service in the room at the four seasons. Not to mention the variety changes every day, which you really don't see for gluten-free desserts. Aside from that, the service is amazing, and they have some of the most delicious pastas ever, and if you didn't tell me, I would've never been able to tell they were gluten-free! (my companions tell me their non-gluten-free items are also deliciously awesome) Love the ambience as well, very classy + relaxed vibe and I can't wait to come back! (With my sweet tooth, haha)

Stepping into the Christmas brunch buffet at this establishment felt like entering a holiday haven. The festive decor, adorned with twinkling lights and charming Christmas ornaments, set the perfect backdrop for a memorable celebration. However, it was the culinary delights that stole the show, particularly the unlimited seafood spread that made this experience exceptional. From succulent scallops to impeccably prepared shrimp and fresh oysters, the variety of seafood surpassed expectations. The service was equally praiseworthy, with attentive staff ensuring our glasses were never empty and providing warm, welcoming assistance throughout. This Christmas brunch not only satisfied the palate with its seafood indulgence but also created a magical atmosphere, blending excellent service and festive charm to make it a truly unforgettable holiday celebration.

We thought we'd give this place a try since it's near a friend's house and we wanted to try something new. Located inside the prestigious 4 seasons you'll be sure to be thoroughly impressed with the aesthetics of the decor from the second you step into the door. Parking structure also available not too much of a walk and handicapped parking in front available as well.. We started with the ahi tuna, scotch egg and heirloom tomatoes.. all of them checked out to be good and tastey. I went ahead and ordered the halibut topped with caviar and surrounded in garbanzo beans. Pretty good but a bit overcooked in my opinion. The caviar saved the day and made me forget about the minimal level of steakiness halibut. My love interest ordered the branzino which was really good. Our third wheel had the ribeye which was cooked perfectly and a pretty good serving size. I was gonna order that initially but I had a feeling I'd be too full for dessert if I did(i was right). We went ahead and gave the desserts a try- citrus semolina cake was legit, I could eat one everyday and not get tired of it. The toffee brownie was pretty good too, you wouldn't be let down trying it. Lastly was the rosemary mint Panna cotta that was suggested by our wonderful waiter. When I first took a taste I got a leaf of mint and was like wtfreak how can anybody enjoy this? But after another bite (without a whole mint leaf) my trust in the waiter was restored lol. Not the cheapest place and nowhere near the most expensive that I've been but the service was perfect and our waiter Cam took really good care of us. The entire staff was courteous and friendly. If you're on the fence about trying this place, I can give you a push towards coming here lol.

Quattro @Four Seasons Silicon Valley CA Fri 8/5/22 Italian Cocktail Diner ® Tutti pensano sia una persona squisita ma io non sono d'accordo! Everyone believes that he's a refined man but I disagree about that:-) Quattro @Four Seasons Silicon Valley CA Fri 8/5/22 © Quattro is an Italian Cocktail Diner located inside luxury Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley. Brunched and dined here many times. Today's visit to meet with my business partner to talk. Law offices all around here. The hotel was built to accommodate the business crowd in a fashionable way suited for meetings and events. Convenient access just off 101 next to University Ave where Palo Alto & East PA intersect, close proximity to AWS offices on the other side of highway. That, and lawyers! Speaking of which. You need a bunch of them in your corner, to cover various aspects of a growing company, patent work, contracts, investments, holdings, acquisitions. Now, to the Quattro' food. I would call this a snack or a very late lunch. We each got a bowl of tomato soup, and shared a burrata and french fries. Out of twenty tables, maybe four tables were occupied on a late Friday afternoon. I believe that's because business crowd usually arrives on Mondays and leaves on Fridays. The dining room was very clean and service friendly and impeccable. Made to order fresh crispy fries, prepared just right, not overly salty. A bowl of Tomato soup to warm up the heart. It's a good heart warmer indeed I must admit. Enough to hold you through till the dinner time! I like burrata and had great delizioso tastes back in Italy and over here in the SF Bay Area too .. this one at Four Seasons Hotel at Quattro was portioned on a smaller size... I still enjoyed and pledged to my Yelp friend Terry C that I won't mention it in my review:-)) Paula O. has asked me about quinoa and I don't recall, was too immersed into talking LOL This was a very good experience in great setting I would not be opposed to repeat, business or not;) Cheers everyone! *Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop I'll be on that hill with everything I got Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost For wanting things that can only be found In the darkness on the edge of town In the darkness on the edge of town [ Review #718 posted with 3 pictures on Aug 9, 2022 ] Burrata!

Beautiful restaurant inside the 4 Seasons in Palo Alto. We came here after shooting photos at Stanford University. We ordered a light lunch. Pastries and sandwiches. Sorry no photos of the sandwiches. The food was average, but definitely a nice place to hang out. There was live music which was really good. The bar was top notch, the service was excellent. I'd definitely would recommend this place as a great place to meet, drinks, take photos (we definitely did that) and have a relaxing time in a beautiful environment.

Review: 072322 (brunch) My family and I came here to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. The whole process was done behind the scenes (Celeste in arranging the number of people as well as our meals) to our server for the day, Araceli. We arrived and it wasn't busy so that was nice. The staff working that day were all very accommodating in making my parent's day truly special. Their brunch menu is very affordable in terms of having an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Their bottomless mimosas were also of good quality (didn't get a headache afterward.) The taste of the food was also good - which surprised everyone. Overall - I just want to extend my gratitude to Araceli who truly made everyone feel welcomed and she went to great lengths in making all of our needs happen. Truly top-notch service. My parents were happy and that's all that matters to me :)

Beautiful restaurant with indoor and outdoor dinning that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is located in the Four Seasons hotel but not attached inside you can park your Caron guest parking on your left and walk to the restaurant. During this season especially Christmas, they decor with a lot of Christmas tree and holiday decorations. They had couple cozy boot outside feels like your in an open cabin with fire pit for outdoor seating for the holiday. On weekday you don't need reservations as it usually not crowded at all! They had high tea for Friday and the weekend only. I came here on Wednesday for lunch and it was empty. We sat outside for the holiday spirit. We order the pant which was buttery and soft. The smoke salmon was so fishy, not fresh at all! Services was quick since there are only 2-: tables occupied. Coming here for dinner I believe will be better since all the lights is on.

Came here for the Easter/Alice in Wonderland themed brunch. Amazing! Decorations were spot on. They had Alice in Wonderland characters there available for photos, an Easter egg hunt, and amazing decorations/desserts and drinks carefully tailored to the Alice theme. The food was delicious. The seafood bar with the oysters, plump shrimp cocktails, and lightly seared scallops were my favorite. The soup de jour, beef Wellington, and duck confit were also superb. Definitely worthy of a high-end, playful brunch. Service was timely and impeccable.

Food can get odd, with edgy stuff like foams and gastriques, so if that's not your thing, get ready to pay premium dollars for traditional breakfast options then plan lunch a dinner in downtown Palo Alto (from the Peninsula Creamery Dairy Store to Evvia) where you find TONS of choices to suit your palate. Service and ambiance are 5-star.

Five star food & service! Came here for our anniversary dinner. They seated us in a cozy booth and brought 2 glasses of champagne to start our celebration. The server was gracious, helpful and had the best table side manner. The food was superb!!! Haven't had food this good in a long time. Started off with Focaccia (House-Made, California Olive Oil, Balsamic) and Wild Mushrooms (Seasonal Mushrooms, Sherry Vinaigrette). Delicious! Bread was warm and so light and fragrant, melt in your mouth goodness! Mushrooms also very well cooked and seasoned. Main courses: Lobster Tajarin (Crème Fraiche Butter, Preserved Meyer Lemons, Chives, Chili Oil) and Grilled Kurobuta Pork Chop (Anson Mills Polenta, Herb Salad). Ate EVERY LAST BITE!!! Just (chef's kiss) spectacular. Had no room for dessert, so will have to come back especially for that. Five stars . Kudos Four Seasons, you have a true winner

I came here to celebrate Mother's Day and my dad's birthday and the food was really splendid! We ordered the fruit plate and the smoked salmon to start. The fruit tasted really sweet and it went well with the Greek yogurt, which wasn't too sour for my taste. The smoked salmon was fresh and you could taste the smokiness, which complimented the salad well. The Q burger was well done and came with fries and I believe the meat was lamb instead of beef. The steak and eggs had excellent presentation and tasted juicy and I really liked of how it came with avocado. The huevos ranchos was really good as well, although a bit messy with the sunny side up eggs. Like any restaurant attached to a five star hotel the ambiance and service are top notch. The staff were friendly and attentive checking in and making sure our glasses were full. I would recommend coming again for any special occasion.

Such a great place for a meal! We were looking for a lunch place around Palo Alto and this popped up. So glad we tried it. It was amazing! The place is kids friendly; they have high chairs and a great kids menu. They also hand out table mats for kids and some colors. Loved the small details. When it comes to food, we got their Focaccia bread, Chicory Salad, a veggie pizza with some added veggies and rigatoni marinara. We also got some orange juice and pasta for the kiddo. The focaccia was super soft and the dip that came with it was yum. The salad was delicious with the persimmon and the mains were amazing too. The pizza and pasta were the best things we ordered. All in all it was a delicious experience! Definitely going back to have some more pizzas. The ambience of this place is great. They have seating outdoors and indoor. The outdoor seating was closed the day we went as it was raining. The servers are friendly and helped modify the menu items to our liking. Highly recommend this place for a meal with family or by yourself.

It's okay We sung by to grab some lunch before our long IKEA trip thinking there will be breakfast food such as pancakes but there weren't any real breakfast food :(.. We got: - turkey club sandwich: actually decent compared to the salad! Bleh - chicory salad: so bitter which made it unpleasant to eat For the price, seating, and food all factored in, it's a solid 3.4 out of 5. The seats at the booth that we were seated at were the most uncomfortable seats... Bum sinks in and hits the wood on the bottom.. anyways, I wouldn't come back unless I have no choice. Staff were so friendly tho!

We were excited to have our Christmas GNO here...it was our first time here. Place was decorated beautifully- very festive. We were seated right away. Server was friendly and nice, but not attentive. She never came back to see if everything was okay. We asked for bread many times, from different servers. We got our bread after 4th try from the server that refilled our water. Food - octopus and burrata were good. The rib eye, branzino, cauliflower were delish. The tagliolini pasta was more like a soup. The sauce was watery...such a disappointment. The apple cake and black white creamaux desserts were good. But the service needs Improvement.For a fancy high end restaurant like this where you spend $110 per person, I expect high end service. The server needs to be attentive and the staff that brings in the plate need to be courteous and not just dump the plate on the table.

We attended an event here and afterwards wanted to socialize with a few people and this was such a great place to grab a few snacks and drinks. The staff here is so nice and were able to navigate the line between helpful and letting us chill. I would highly recommend this bar for your next group hang!

We had the most amazing meal with Cam as our server. Cam was charming and attentive and gave us fantastic recommendations. We ordered the Cauliflower, Rigatoni Bolognese, Ribeye steak, and the Black and White Cremeaux. Everything was amazing but the steak and Cauliflower were the standouts! The ambience was nice as well, quite relaxed.

I know Quattro is supposed to be Italian..... But if this doesn't scream "overpriced mediocre New American" LOL. VERY ok. I don't care for it. We made a reservation for a Saturday lunch, but found that it was completely unnecessary-- it's empty. LOL. The positive is that we had no wait, attentive service, and little to no worry about other parties social distancing. We sat indoors and enjoyed the light, airy atmosphere. ARUGULA SALAD: Fine. Fresh. Nothing spectacular. CHEESE & CHARCUTERIE: Decent cheeses & meats, but small portions. Not really a fan of the fake newspaper wrapping paper, either PIZZA MARGHERITA: Over-salted and dry. And small! Honestly, the best-tasting item I had here was the sparkling water. My family also felt that their dishes were average. Might be better for evening drinks or dinner entrees, b/c lunch was less than impressive.

Excellent restaurant nested in the four seasons also hosts winter special apre lounge and ice rink in the back. One thing about Quattro is its stunning relief sculptures. The figurine sculptures look like 3D holograms in pastel color. In addition to dining tables, not too crowded good ambience, they also connect to the hotel via this lounge with fireplace. That gives a homey feeling, and has a library of Silicon Valley tech books. It is amazing to take someone on a date or show visiting scholars Silicon Valley. The place is upscale. Great for dates, formal meetings, take visitors, parents who visit during college. Don't forget to take a photo of the snow globe at the entrance between Q and apre

Beautiful and cozy place so...pricey ! Overall We had a good time to enjoy a Christmas Day with the family.

I'm compromising at a four because I was in love when I ate dinner here. Really an incredible wines by the glass list. They had a grand cru as well as a ruinart sparkling rosé. All I got was a salad but it was perfection. Upon return for breakfast, it felt like a completely different restaurant. My toast was limp. My poached eggs had too much vinegar in the water. And my side of fruit seemed like it had been prepared hours earlier and put in the fridge uncovered. Dry and tasteless. So, go for dinner. And just be careful what you order for breakfast. Coffee was great.

Two stars because the location is convenient, parking is easy and free and the decor is generally elegant. However, the prices are just ridiculous, even for a Four Seasons, because there are other opulent settings to have a drink. $26 for a cocktail is too much. $44 for a very skimpy and unimpressive Charceuterie plate is too much. Come here if someone else is paying, but don't spend your own money. Also the service is almost humorously bad, always new and inexperienced, very pushy and overattentive, yet somehow missing the point (had to make multiple requests for information about ingredients).

Our party of four went here for dinner last night. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holidays and the cabanas looked very cozy. Our waiter was great and attentive even though he was alone and running around to help everyone. For appetizers, we got the beet salad, potatoes, squid, and hamachi carpaccio. We enjoyed everything, especially the squid, which was smoky and perfectly cooked. The reason for the two stars is our sausage and clams taglioni. It was salty to the point that it was inedible. Unfortunately, both my friend and I got this dish and we just picked out the pasta to eat. We left behind the sauce, sausage, and clams.

The entire menu look so good, so i just had to order half of it no but really, i couldn't decide what to get between the burger and the ribeye steak so i decided to split it half and half with my brother !! if you know me, you know i love to share food and have a little of everything,so this was perfect! Ribeye was tender and cooked to perfect! The burger was well balanced and juicy, and fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. Lastly, the vegan caesar was awesome; i wouldn't have even known it was vegan if they didn't tell me! What we ordered: -Short Rib Burger -Dry Aged Boneless Ribeye Steak -House Focaccia -Vegan Caesar Salad check out my foodie ig @mukbangyourmama

Went for the Mother's Day buffet which comprises of Appetizer buffet, choice of main course, and desert buffet. Appetizer station was decent especially the pasta; charcuterie, ahi crudo (poke like with ahi & salmon), cheeses, shrimp cocktails were average. Furthermore, chocolate and custard pastries were nice and crispy with airy layers - 4/5 Main course lobster risotto was disappointing, lobster didn't taste like lobster and the truffle was tasteless -2/5. Pork chop however was thick, nice and tender but the sauce was too ordinary - 4/5 Dessert buffet had multiple options, some were too sweet; saffron crème brûlée and Mille feuille were nice but not refined - 3.5/5 Overall food was good, and service was really welcoming and kind, even giving out chocolate and honey gift bags but the meals could be better at $150/person

This is an belated review of our Christmas day lunch. *Service -- Service was as good as expected in Four Seasons. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Checking in with the hottest could be better. *Ambient -- décor was there for the holiday season. Everything was clean and appointed. *Buffet and Entrée -- the entree was a good surprised but thought that the presentation could be better. Buffet options for none entrée were there but could be better comparing to other Four Seasons.

Went there Friday night for a friend's birthday dinner. 14 of us and we had to get a pre fix menu because our party is bigger than 10. Beautiful venue located in Palo Alto right off of 101 University Avenue exit. I really want to like this place, however they were very lacking that evening. Staff was not very attentive, my guess is because they know gratuity is included for such a big party, they didn't have to try. Food was decent, they "look" great on photos, but blend in taste. We had the choice of a stripe sirloin, chicken or crab spaghettini. I went for the steak and it was chewy. They did not asked how we want our steaks done when taking the orders neither. I would not go back for dinner. However, I highly recommend to go there for drinks and app! They have a beautiful outdoor seating and a good wine list. I would go back for happy hours or a night cab after dinner. I hope they will step up their food and service games, as they really got a great location in the heart of Silicon Valley.

I returned to this restaurant because of the beautiful vibe. Drove about 40 mins or so. Needless to say, I will never return due to how rude the host/server lady was. And we didn't even make it to sitting down. Possibly worst Four Season hotel/service I have ever seen. Even the nice valet parking attendant was shocked to see us walk out (The restaurant was completely empty, only 1 table dining). I would not recommend this place if you are looking for good service for the $ you are spending here.
