    The food is the best sushi in America. I go to restaurants in NY, LA, Vegas, Miami. This is the best sushi in the country. The dishes are creative and prepared like you would find at a Michelin-star restaurant. I have gone here for Christmas, New Years Eve, Anniversary, Birthday over the years. Always a great. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar for the quality. Drinks are creative. If you are z champagne drinker they even have my favorite, Ruinart. The only opportunity was we brought a baby and a little tough for seating choices. But we were fine and the baby didn't make a peep. Eat, enjoy, celebrate.

    One of our best dining experiences in a long time, considering we dine out frequently. We enjoyed refreshing cocktails at the bar prepared by Kevin before moving to the dining room where we were attentively served by Yuli and her colleagues. The appetizers were so delicious - the swordfish dip, empanada and bison anticucho. We took on the recommendations from their F&B Head Likith and enjoyed sharing entree plates such as the octopus and Toro Toro churascho - the Colorado lamb was just amazing! The Napa Nook bottle of wine recommended by Gary was just the right pairing. We closed out with desserts La Bomba and churros, and got to meet Executive sous chef Jonathan so we could offer our compliments to the chef and his team. Outstanding evening, thank you Four Seasons!
