Came here for my wife's birthday last weekend because all she wanted was a good steak. And that's exactly what she got! The restaurant is on the third floor of the Four Seasons hotel. It's warm, cozy and perfect for a date night. The staff is super attentive and nice, they really made sure we had the best dinner possible. We got the filets, potatoes three ways and asparagus. The steaks came with their homemade chimichurri sauce that I honestly could have just drank. It was so good and the perfect addition to dinner. The potatoes were a fun take on mashed potatoes with an absolutely unreal oxtail gravy. They brought out a sundae with a candle to celebrate the occasion and it was the best ending to a wonderful meal.
Great atmosphere fun modern and friendly. great service friendly and fun and accommodating. Food was super tasty and on point, variety for all to choose and drinks are well balanced and delicious
My friend and I were staying at the Four Seasons and decided to have breakfast at Toro Toro. There isn't a dress code in the morning or at lunch time, but there is a strict dress code for dinner. It was a little more busy than usual so the service was pretty slow but our waiter was very nice and was absolutely doing his best. We did have a Bloody Mary for drinks- pretty standard and nothing too special. For food, I had the chilaquiles with shredded chicken. It was odd, I will say because the chicken wasn't really shredded and for an additional $8, it certainly was a lot less than expected. My friend had the eggs Benedict and salmon and said it was a little different than what he was expecting, but still good. I think the menu may be slightly overpriced, but you pay for the ambiance I guess.
We stopped into Toro Toro inside the Four Seasons Houston and had such a great experience. The servers were super friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu, which made deciding much easier. We went with the summer special, which was three courses for $55. and it was definitely worth it. I started things off with the Ube Be cocktail. It was just the right balance of sweetness with that mellow ube finish, and the toasted coconut flake garnish added a nice little texture. For starters, we tried the Bison Tiradito and the Amarillo Ceviche. The bison was like beef tartare with really interesting textures from the pickled shimeji and greens, plus a drizzle of truffle oil that gave it extra depth. It also had just a touch of spice. The ceviche, mostly ahi tuna, was fresh and delicious--served with plantain and tortilla chips. The plantain chips were definitely the winner for me. The tortilla chips could've been a bit fresher. For mains, the chicken was cooked perfectly. Juicy, with a nice charred skin and plenty of flavor from the sauces and greens on top. The steak was also solid, and the sauces really made the dish since it didn't come with sides. The sauce with the sesame seeds was mellow, while the chimichurri packed more of a punch. Dessert was the last round. The chocolate semifreddo tart with vanilla ice cream was rich and tasty, though a few of the salted pecans were very salty. Still, most bites were excellent. The churros, though, were my favorite. Even though they aren't a show stopper. They were fresh, hot, had the perfect crisp on the outside, and served with a brandy dulce de leche sauce that was incredible. Overall, I left really impressed with both the food and the service. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when in Houston.
Excellent food! My aunt used to live at the Four Seasons and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend the La Bomba dessert. Although everything was fantastic, the salmon was my favorite. Honorable mention for the Duck Confit Tacos - my aunt loved them. Ate here both nights while in town and will be back.
My friends booked a table for us to have mu birthday brunch. It did not know what to expect. I had not been to the Four Seasons in years since my cousin took me for brunch. She has since passed away from breast cancer, so returning was special for me. Getting there was no issue. We had reservations for Sunday October 19 at 1pm. Pulled in and immediately greeted by valet. Now the restaurant is upstairs on the second or third floor. Finding the elevators was challenge coming in so took the stairs. You think you are there after one flight. Nope. One more my friend. Now welcome to Toro Toro. Now after you catch your breath you can view the restaurant. It's open out onto the floor. It has beautiful art and the interior decorating is superior. We sat at a round table. The chairs were okay. Let's talk about the experience. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly. Was not busy at all, so we got to enjoy a really intimate experience. We started off with some drinks. I had go to for the pain killer. I had not had one since I used to eat at Cheddars. I have never stepped a foot back into that place, so being able to have one that is elevated was great. We also did a flight of mimosas. We had fresh orange, mango, passion fruit, pineapple and grapefruit juices. They were divine. For brunch I went with the steak and fries. Added a side of soft scrambled eggs. We also got an order of the tres leches pancakes to share. I ordered my steak medium and it came almost well done. The fries were excellent. The eggs were perfect. The real star of the experience was the tres leches pancakes. OMG. Decadent and filling. I would go back for those again. After all the champagne had to pop into the restroom. The restrooms are beautifully put together. The star here was the soap. I legit went back to the table and raved about it. All my friends said the same thing. It was so good we asked the front desk who makes the soap. They sent my friend to the spa to inquire. We found out it is Diptyque softening and comforting wash for the hands. I went home and immediately ordered it. It came in today and my hands smell like heaven as I type this review. Worth every penny. Overall, the brunch experience was superb. Don't forget to have your valet validated by the restaurant. Check them out. It was a great time.
We've been meaning to try this place since Quattro closed after the Pandemic. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. We arrived and valeted, make sure to get your ticket stamped for a discount. ($7.58) The restaurant is on the 3rd floor, you can take the stairs or the elevator to your right when you walk in. When we got upstairs there were only 2 other patrons, so I didn't have high hopes. App: Crab Toast (Best Bite) Redfish Ceviche (Spicy) Shrimp Aguachile We ordered from the brunch menu and everything was actually tasty. Crab toast has guacamole with tons of fresh crab and pickled veggies. Redfish and Shrimp are served with Plantains and tortilla chips. The plantains were sliced thin and really crispy, but the tortilla chips were thicker and stale. All in all, it was a good meal.
Located in the Four Seasons hotel in downtown so parking may be an issue. We walked from our office building. Restaurant is tastefully decorated. Modern, sophisticated taking advantage of the floor to ceiling windows. Our server was great and very attentive. The menu had a variety of options but since this is a steakhouse I went with the steak frites which was a ribeye perfectly cooked and seasoned. Others ordered the salmon with chili jam which was also delectable.
My husband said it was the best meat he's ever had in his life but to me it was a 7/10 maybe be got the fattier softer side but def try it out we're from LA and wanted to try most meats available in Texan
Stylish and tasty. Service and ambiance: This restaurant is part of the hotel but walk ins are welcome. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a good vibe. The hostess was very nice and accommodated our request without any problems. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful as well. Food and drinks: The menu is designed differently for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We arrived during brunch time. I highly recommend hanger steak with sunny side eggs. I ordered medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. The meat paired well with eggs and side of rice. Our citrus salad was delicious. Tangy and sweet. All dishes were presented very well on the plates. Selection of cocktails was excellent. Pricing: $$ and worth every bit of the food quality.
My first time at this fancy steakhouse located in the Four Seasons Hotel. Came with a group, for my friends bday. Birthday girl made an early resy. We had the dining room, essentially to ourseleves. At first, they placed our party of 6 near their fireplace. And while it was asethetically pleasing, we were very hot. So the staff were kind enough to seat us elsewhere, and it was much cooler. The place is modernly decorated with a beautiful bar outside the dining area. Food - I wanted to keep it light. So I ordered the Octupus Antichupo. It was pretty tasty. Grilled octopus with what I can describe as a some kind mash potato cup underneath. Everyone else seemed satisfied with their meal as well. Service - was great. I believe our server was Manuel, a cutie. But my receipt says Rakshman? So I'm not sure.
Came here to have dinner with colleagues. The restaurant is beautiful and has a very open concept. Our server was very attentive and assisted us with all our needs. We ordered a few appetizers which were all good and also several entrees which were not bad. The star of the show were the desserts. If you're ever downtown it's worth stopping by for a drink and dessert.
I really like the bar and restaurant concepts at The Four Seasons Houston. I've eaten at Toro Toro twice over the past year and both visits were good. 1st visit: HRW 2023 We had dinner on a Tuesday evening. We didn't realize that they have live music on Tuesday nights. The duo that performed were great, however the volume was extremely loud! We had a hard time hearing each other even though we were seated towards the back of the restaurant away from the band. I had the Tamarindo cocktail and I enjoyed it. I started with the Wedge Salad for my first course. It's pretty simple, but tasty. I really enjoyed the bacon on the salad. I subbed the poblano blue cheese dressing with ranch dressing. For my entree, I had the Salmon. It was really good and I enjoyed the bok choy that accompanied it. For dessert, I ordered the Churros. These were excellent! My dining companions and I tried each other's dishes and we all enjoyed everything we had. I can't recall our server's name, but she was really nice and did a great job. 2nd Visit: July 2024 I came with a group for my friend's birthday dinner. We were seated in a room off the main dining area. It was more quiet which was nice. We were initially near the fireplace, but it got hot very quickly so we were moved to a different table. The fireplace provided a nice ambiance, but we didn't need the additional heat! I started with a cocktail called Loquito Por Ti. It tasted like a spicy berry margarita. It was a pretty drink because of the butterfly pea flower and I wish I would have taken a photo if it. For my entree, I had the Zarandeado Red Snapper. It was so good! The grilled avocado with corn and the chayote salad were tasty too, however the chayote was salty. The flavors overall complimented each other well. My main criticism of this dish is the portion of the red snapper. It was soooo small (I would estimate about 4-5 oz.). It wasn't worth the price. I was hungry an hour later and ended up going back to Bayou and Bottle for a snack after having a drink at Bandista. Manuel was our server and he was excellent! All of the staff that waited on us were great! I like Toro Toro, but I would probably only come back for a special occasion or for HRW.
The ambiance was nice. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. The meals aren't huge so order some apps. Everything we had was delicious. I'm usually a little more critical but honestly, nothing bad comes to mind. If you are used to larger portion sizes, understand that this favors a fine dinning experience. With that being said, our server (bartender who was waiting on us because there was a large party in the other room) was fantastic and that stood out to me most of all. Thank you Toro Tor for a wonderful experience. read more

Came here for a friends birthday on a Saturday night. She made a reservation although it was really not that busy for a Saturday so Im not sure it was needed. The restaurant is located on the third floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. They offer valet parking that can be validated at the restaurant. To drink I ordered a tamarindo margarita. It was delicious! I didn't feel like drinking much so I didnt order another. Either way, I was not offered another. Our waitress seemed really busy. We weren't offered refills and it wasn't until we flagged her down for dessert that our dirty plates were removed from the table. For my entree I ordered the octopus. I was super impressed by this dish. It was cooked to perfection and had so much flavor. It also came with a side of their chimichurri sauce and shishito peppers. I love shishitos but they came room temp with my plate so I was a bit dissapointed. Additionally, I ordered a side of the trumpet mushrooms. Also amazing! The ponzu butter and horseradish aioli gave them so much flavor. I loved this dish!! A friend of mine ordered the cusco chicken and we were all pleasantly surprised at how good it was. However, another friend ordered the 8 oz sirloin and it was flavorless. Not to mention she had to send it back initially so it could be cooked correctly. We mentioned to the server that it was my friends birthday so she brought out a dessert for her on the house. It was super sweet and she loved the detail. She brought out the crepes layered cake which comes with dulce de leche ice cream. All of us loved this dessert and it was definitely a shareable size especially after a big dinner. Overall I think the food was fine but the service was lacking for the price point. read more
Went to Toro Toro for breakfast. First let me say the service was great! My breakfast was very mediocre. $22 for a single slice of toast with thin avocado slices and a few pickled onions on it. It did come with a small cup of egg salad which was pretty good. Also ordered the mixed berries on the side. $12 for those. I didn't mind that as it was a big bowl. $51 dollars for 2 coffees , Avo toast and berries = OVERPRICED read more
Delicious food at an upscale restaurant with a vibrant bar. Definitely coming back here for special occasions whenever we are in town. I highly recommend the ceviche, empanadas, and the Tomahawk steak. The tomahawk steak was presented in such a beautiful manner! They had flames and extra seasoning presented table side. I thought certain dishes were not as spectacular such as the burrata and octopus appetizer. I would skip those two...Overall good with the waiter's recommendations for dishes and you will not be disappointed. The service was exceptional and prompt. Our water glasses were never empty throughout the meal. read more
The place was beautiful. It's inside the Four Seasons Hotel. Went there for my birthday with friends. Had a few drinks and dinner. I had the Peruvian ceviche. Not bad, but I've had better. My friends had the picanha, the salmon, and the red snapper. We also ordered the potato three ways. For drinks I had the Mercado margarita. I loved it! And my friends had old fashioneds. They said they were just ok. Even the color looked wrong - if that makes any sense - I'd try Toro Toro again but maybe order a steak. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the dinner since we were trying to enjoy the evening. However I have a picture of the dessert they brought me. Very thoughtful of them. read more

Came here on Valentine's Day. Our server Carol was great. They were attentive and responded to all our questions and was always on top of things with 8 other parties in the room. We got the following, Corn empanadas: this was so simple but so good. Would definitely recommend as an appetizer Peruvian ceviche: this was light and refreshing Cusco chicken: this was actually really good. I was supposed not a lot of people ordered this. It was served on top of mash potatoes and broccoli Prawns: this was seasoned pretty well and tasted decent Angry sushi: this was really good. Didn't even need soy sauce to eat it! read more

Toro Toro is located inside of the Four Seasons on the 3rd floor. I was seated right away for breakfast. I initially ordered the Chilaquiles with chicken. There may have been a tad too much salsa verde which made the dish completely soggy. I then ordered the Benedict with smoked salmon (lox) and breakfast potatoes. The hollandaise was spot on. Potatoes perfectly crisp and well seasoned. I loved the loose peppermint tea in a Rishi glass teapot read more
Excellent service and good food. I've been here a few times and enjoyed myself on each occassion. Located inside the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Houston. We went this time after morning mass on Sunday. Valet is reduced to $6.50 if validated. Beautiful facility and great service. Our hostess was a sweetheart and entertained my wife, our 1-yr old and I until we were seated. We arrived earlier than our reservation and had no issues. Theodore took care of us and did great. Food was good as we expected, but the time to get our meal took longer than anticipated. No fault of the staff, but we arrived at 11am and entries were received right before noon. Thankfully we weren't in a rush. It wasn't busy either so perhaps it was too early for our meal selection? Hopefully next time it will be quicker but still a good experience overall. read more

Overall a 8.5/10! Made reservations ahead of time. It was a open concept and the restaurant was located on the 3rd floor of the four seasons hotel downtown. Modern Atmosphere with plenty of seating. Really enjoyed the passion fruit margarita, it was very fruity and refreshing. For apps, got the grilled octopus (a bit over cooked), flamed salmon roll (very good, I'd get it again) and the shrimp cocktail (very good and pretty large shrimps cut in half paired with some tortilla and plantain chips). Entree's- we got the Aussie lamb chops (excellent sear on it and cooked nicely to a medium rare, very tender and the chimichurri sauce went well with it) and the seabass (very flaky and some nice greens to accompany it). Sides- lobster mac n cheese (there was literally 2 tiny pieces topping off the mac n cheese and no where else within the dish itself. Very underwhelming) & the Trumpet Mushroom (my favorite, those were grilled nicely and the sweet soy glaze was excellent). For dessert we orders the churrros. Must get!! The caramel sauce to dip it in was very good! Jannipa was our server and she did a wonderful job explaining the menu and checked on us often and took great care of our table and provided awesome service. Restroom - outside of the restaurant on the same floor towards the right Parking - $6 valet paid in cash , once you get it stamped by the restaurant read more

Dear Judy,…
The restaurant is located inside the Four Seasons hotel downtown. My friend and I took an Uber there after the Nutcracker ballet, so i'm not entirely sure about the parking situation. Regardless, we had a reservation right at 5:30 when the restaurant was reopening, so we were sat immediately. Our waitress was great! She educated us on the menu and the restaurant itself. Wish so remembered her name because she was fantastic! The restaurant vibe is very moody, dim lighting, and good music. For our appetizers we ordered their empanadas and birria baos both of which were fantastic. I ordered a mocktail which was great and my girl friend ordered a martini which was strong, as it should be. The entrees are where they lost me, I ordered a sushi roll and it was pretty mediocre. My friend's chicken was good but not great. We ended up taking half of our entrees home hoping her husband would finish them off for us ! Overall, I'd say this place is great for drinks and appetizers, and maybe something sweet! Their desserts did look fantastic! Maybe we just ordered duds for entrees. I'd come back and order a million empanadas and their birria baos alone! read more
Toro Toro is inside of the Four Seasons Hotel. I usually go to the hotel to visit their hidden bar called Bandista but this time I tried Toro Toro. Once seated I ordered the Cristom Vineyards red wine. The wine was good. Not too dry and not too sweet. My entree was the Lomo Saltado. It wasn't amazing but also wasn't bad. The lobster Mac & Cheese was bussin! My guest had the Peruvian Ceviche and he said it was really good and had the taste of Peru. I couldn't give them five stars because I waited an entire hour for my food. The service was kind of weird also. They brought the food and sat it in the center of the table versus putting it in front of us. I've never seen that before. It was very different. I didn't enjoy this enough to come back but it was cool for what it was. The waiter let me keep the cute Toro Toro pen. read more
Toro Toro had been on my bucket list for some time, having heard great things about the Cuban sandwich. When it appeared on the Houston Restaurant Week list, I had to drop by for a weekend lunch. The Four Seasons was renovated fairly recently and Toro Toro is a part of that project. Expect sleek looks and modern-meets-classic feel. Ambiance was really, really quiet for a Saturday lunch, but it started to pick up more on the later end of our visit. I was really happy with both items I got. The crispy calamari came Rhode Island style, and with a big portion much of which I ended up taking home. But the signature item was the steak and fries. The chimichurri sauce was the perfect pairing and the steak was cooked very nicely. Fries got the job done. I see this as the perfect spot for a classy downtown mid-week lunch. I'll definitely have this in mind if I have colleagues in town, or need to take a new hire to lunch. Would I drive into downtown and pay for valet parking to get a weekend lunch? Probably less so. read more
Really wasn't a fan of this place. Expensive prices and not great food. We got the mushrooms assortment (fine but didn't love the sauce - I'm surprised the waitress recommended it), one of the sushi rolls (which was average at best), the grilled prawns (these were okay) and the beef rib (a couple bites were delicious and tender but most of it was incredibly over cooked and too hard to eat). We did very much enjoy the drinks though - they had a fabulous Pinot Noir and the margarita was excellent as well. The restaurant was mostly empty the entire night, which doesn't surprise me given the quality of the food. read more
Toro Toro is a restaurant that's been on my radar for awhile. I saw it on the Houston Restaurants Week list and had to make it happen this year. Located in the Four Seasons, I already knew I was in for a treat. We came on a weeknight and had reservations, so we were seated immediately. Customer service is top notch here. We came on a Tuesday night which is apparently live music night. It was awesome at first, but I felt like an old timer when I found myself wishing they would turn down the volume a little bit. It was hard to hear each other speaking and it seemed like everyone was yelling at each other throughout the whole restaurant. Other than that, great upscale vibes and service. I'm a big fan of all the bars at this Four Seasons. I couldn't come and not get a cocktail with my dinner. I saw the Smoked Rum Old Fashioned on the menu and had to get it. Not only was it delicious, it also came with a cool presentation! See video! For my first course I went with the Blacked Tuna Tacos. This dish was so good. The tuna was perfectly seared lightly and seasoned great. The slaw, tarter sauce and blue tortilla combined with the tuna made for a delicious bite. For my entree I went with the Lomo Saltado. This too was visually appealing but also very tasty. The beef tenderloin was melt in your mouth tender and full of flavor. It sat atop creamy rice and crispy potatoes. All the different textures and flavors was very good. For dessert I ordered the a Paloma Cake. It tasted just like a Paloma drink because of the grapefruit sorbet and sauce. Good, but a little too tart for my liking. Overall, this was a great dinner. I would definitely come back! read more
Came here on a Saturday night for my birthday outing. The atmosphere and decor was very nice and beautiful. Service was s l o w.. Food and drinks took extremely long to come out. Reservations were at 8:30 and we didn't leave until 11:20. The drinks were entirely too sweet. The fish was very fishy for a $$$$ steak house-- salmon and chilean sea bass. My friend who ordered the food said there were a few items we did not order but it was brought to our table. The group was not aware of it until after we left. -Jamon Iberico (we did not order) which basically prosciutto on bread -Smoked guac is guac (we did not order) -Potato 3 ways (we did not order) The Toro Toro Churrasco board which came with lamb chops (was served rare so we asked them to cook it up again), brazilian style picanha steak, rib eye, chicken -- the meats were the best thing on their menu! Luckily they perfected it for a steakhouse -Tiger prawns were over cooked but still had good flavor -Angry scorpion wasn't terrible but I prob would not order it again -Ribeye -- very good For a $900 tab, you would think they can give away complimentary dessert for the birthday guests but they charged us for it All in all, I'd give them 3 stars read more

Thank you for having Vegan Options! This is just one more reasons that Four Seasons is must try even as a staycation or just a weekend getaway. If you have not been this restaurant definitely serves as an evening getaway, especially with that someone special or occasion. Could even be a first date, very quiet and lo-key! Only to be topped with a menus that's should cater to all. My meal and service was unbelievably great and to top it off, I finished a Raspberry sorbet. Sorry, I consumed it before the camera warmed up. Until the next time, Bye-Bye! read more
We decided to have our anniversary dinner here while visiting Houston. It's located inside the Four Seasons Hotel which was decorated nicely for the holidays. Service was great and the food was good. We especially enjoyed and recommend the short rib tacos as an appetizer. Overall presentation of food and taste was a solid 4 out of 5. We were way too full for dessert. Our only disappointment was there was no acknowledgment of our anniversary even though we had specifically included this info in our reservation. So probably not the best for a special celebration but a good dining experience. read more
Located in the old Four Seasons hotel in downtown. It's located on the 3rd floor, in an interesting location. We came for lunch and unfortunately they would not let us order off the dinner menu so the options were a bit limited. Apps were fine; swordfish dip was a little bit meh and tasted like tuna salad. I was not a fan of the empanadas. For the main, we got steak frites; the steak was cooked accurately to a medium rare. The fries are a bit meh honestly. We got lobster Mac and Brussels sprouts as shareable sides. The sprouts were slightly over cooked. The mac was fine and actually had a decent amount of lobster. Overall, it was a solid lunch option but could've been much better. Perhaps their dinner menu will offer some more appealing surprises. read more
We went out to celebrate a bachelorette party and we were welcomed and really accommodated our entire time of dining there. The experience was very elevated with their presentation of both the food and drinks and all of the staff members were exceptional. I think the menu options were great and everyone really enjoyed their food and the presentation to which everything was done. People were raving about the corn empanadas and truffle fries. I think the Shisoto peppers that came with it were a little undercooked and under seasoned. My biggest problem was the macaroni. Barely any cheese or flavor so a bit disappointed to pay for it. read more
My boyfriend and I came here last night to celebrate our 4 year anniversary and had the most amazing time! The restaurant is located in Four seasons hotel in downtown so parking can be tricky. They do offer valet, but we opted to find parking on the streets nearby because it is free after 6pm. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the hotel and as you walk up to the restaurant it is open concept. The restaurant is very beautiful, they have this bar placed right in the middle of the restaurant so your eyes are drawn to it. There's live music, even on a Tuesday and it's very lively. We got greeted by the hostess and they congratulated us on our anniversary. When we booked our reservations online with Open Table we noted what we were celebrating, so that was sweet of them. Overall, excellent service. We had a really nice server and he did a great job, but towards the end he got busy with other tables. But that's okay, my bf and I were enjoying ourselves and the music. What we ordered: - Drinks - I just had a glass of Cava, but my bf ordered the Smokey rum old fashion. I had a taste of it and it surprised me at how delicious it tasted. Not too much smokiness but the drink was smooth. Drink came out in a nice presentation too. -Smoked Guacamole - it came in a nice presentation with a clear cover over the dish that showed the guacamole was being smoked. First bite I can definitely taste the smokiness of the guacamole, but after a few bites I couldn't taste it anymore. It came with plantain and tortilla chips. -Grilled Spanish Octopus I love grilled octopus and this was probably the biggest portion I've ever seen being served at a restaurant. It came with this red sauce on top, it doesn't say what that is on the menu but it almost had this sweet Smokey flavor. The sauce was good, I didn't mind it at all. Add a little lemon juice on top and the grilled octopus was perfection! Really tender and not over cooked where it can be rubbery. Nicely done. -20 oz Cowboy Prime Ribeye My bf had this dish and he asked for medium rare and some parts of the steak came almost a bit rare, but he still ate it. I got to try some and it was flavorful and delicious -Lobster Mac and cheese Really cheesy and loved how it came with two lump lobster meats on top with breadcrumbs. Only complaint was that I wish it came with more lobster mixed inside the Mac and cheese. -La Bomba for dessert This was probably the highlight of my night. This is a popular desert and I can see why. This is almost like a take on the piñata desserts I've been seeing around at other restaurants. The only twist to this is you don't crack this dessert yourself, the waiter is the one to drop this on your table...hence the name La Bomba. It's a half chocolate spheres filled with so many delicious goodies like ice cream, mini chocolate brownies, strawberries. Blackberries, blueberries, almond crunch, meringues and to top it all off some vanilla and raspberry sauce. It was literally a piece of Heaven. Every dish was a presentation and the servers put a lot effort into making the presentations special. It really made our night magical and definitely an anniversary we won't forget. read more
Located on 3rd floor of Four Seasons in downtown, another poppy spot for corporate lunches (parking could be difficult if you are not already in downtown). Came here for lunch and went with the restaurant week lunch menu (items also available on their normal lunch menu), got Crispy Calamari for appetizers and Salmon for the main. The crispy calamari flavor was good, however came out lukewarm and not that crispy (which made me wonder if they just made batch calamari for lunch and left it out for too long before serving). The Salmon came out perfect, however the bok choy was overcooked and the chili jam was too sweet for my taste. Service was good and pretty fast given how busy they were. read more

Came here for a business lunch and tried to ask for the dinner menu. I feel like the options here are much better on the full menu. Other than that I thought all the food options and steaks came out as ordered. All 5 of us ordered the lunch ribeye medium rare and we all got medium rare. Seems trivial but I've gone to V&A's and that hasn't been the case. The lunch ribeye was a great marbled thick cut as well, normally restaurants don't give you a good looking slice of beef on the lunch portion. Sides we could've taken or left, the lobster Mac actually had lobster chunks but wasn't super flavorful or creamy/cheesy. I want to come back and get the full experience. Restaurant is on the 3rd Floor of the Four Seasons, so parking is likely valet if you aren't already visiting downtown. read more

Came here for my boyfriends birthday and Valerie was such an amazing server. She made our experience one we won't forget. We were seated and welcomed with some champagne. Drinks: Smokey Rum Old Fashioned was very well made and has a hint of smoke flavor but not as strong as the casual encounter. Casual Encounter was really fun experience in a box. Really packed a smokey punch. Food: Octopus Anticucho had great adobo flavor. The octopod was nice and tender. Will definitely recommend. For our main spread we got the strip loin steak, heirloom carrots, and trumpet mushrooms. It was all delicious. Dessert: We got the La Bomba, Churros, and Carajillo. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE CHURROS. They are light and fluffy but also crunchy. Not heavy and dense like your typical churro. Overall, ask for Valerie. She will definitely make your experience great. We will be back again soon. read more

I was quite disappointed by the lobster mac & cheese. I could only count two pieces of lobster that were placed on top in it. It wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked but edible. I also got the angry salmon roll. Which was very good! The ambience is very nice, the servers were attentive, and the presentation of the drinks were appreciated. They have complimentary valet which is also a big plus. read more

Loved everything about my meal. We started with the Birria Boa and Corn Empanadas. The Birria boa was AMAZING. I had the Mercado margarita and the Tamarindo Cocktail both were very good. I got one of the specialty dishes that's rare recommended and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the potatoes three ways as a side, though.... It only came two ways. They later brought out the third potato. Overall, I really enjoyed my dinner. Will come again. read more

I still have dreams about this dinner!! The food was absolutely amazing from the piping hot corn empanadas with chimichurri sauce to the perfectly done steak. The service was really above and beyond we had several people serving us. We were celebrating a birthday dinner and truly was the best place we have ate at in a while. The ambiance was beautiful and great atmosphere, we will definitely be back! read more
Came here on a Friday evening (make sure you have a res) and tried the ceviche, octopus, and la bomba dessert. I really liked their plantain chips and normal chips, and the ceviche broth was just the right balance of savory and acidic! The fish was so fresh. I thought the octopus was a tad on the spicy side, but it was tender and flavorful. The bomba dessert is a must do, although I think it serves more like 3 to 4 people. It's about 4 scoops of ice cream in a chocolate bowl that gets smashed on a plastic film on the table. The different sweet treats intermixed really add to the texture and taste of this dish. Service was warm and friendly. I love their ambiance too. read more
