   beautifully designed restaurant, good food. We were there for lunch during the week. Three business meetings were going on, two groups with each around ten people and one group with more than thirty people. It was loud and we couldn't relax.

   I personally ordered the crab salad, the A5 Japanese Wagyu, and crème brûlée. The crab salad was just not up to standards of a place of this price point, the wagyu was good, but I had much better at other places in the area, desert was good. The times between servings was also extremely long even tho the place was completely dead. Will not return

   The service was horrible. It took an hour before we got a drink. I tried getting other servers attention after we were sitting there for an hour with only water and no server asking for our drink order. The two servers were arguing over who had what tables and completely ignored me. We finally ordered cocktails and it took another 30 minutes before we were served drinks. We ordered bottles of wine after the drinks were ordered and got our wine long before the cocktails were served. We spent over $2600 and had a terrible experience. The food was good but the terrible service overshadowed the food.

   The food was fine, at best. The service was fine. But in my life, I have never seen what is purportedly a fine dining restaurant have steak knives that were so incredibly dull. The steak itself may have been okay (at best) but having to cut it with what might as well have been a plastic butter knife soured the entire experience. Given the outrageous prices, there are far better options in town for anything on the menu, but especially the steak and seafood. Kind of astounded.

   The entire staff was accommodating from start to finish. The reservation was easy to make and communication was thoroughly done to ensure a beautiful bridal dinner. Nice details were added to make our bride feel extra special. The food and drinks were delicious. Thank you for making it a lovely evening for our party of 13.

    Definitely not what I expected for a $300 meal. The food was very good, I have zero complaints on the quality, but I could have gotten the same thing for less at several other restaurants in New Orleans. It was not a $86 filet IMO. $15 for four stalks of asparagus was a little much. The staff was very personable and attentive, and easy to talk to. Multiple staff asked if we had allergies or dietary restrictions, which I highly appreciate. My reason for less than five stars is the fact that we were offered a glass of complimentary champagne for our anniversary celebration, then was charged $28 for said "complimentary" champagne. My biggest complaint is the atmosphere. For the Four Seasons, I expected a fine dining experience. I looked online where it stated the dress code was business casual, so that is what we went with. When I walked in I felt so overdressed. Every single other patron was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, with the exception of one gentleman wearing a tank top. It just wasn't the atmosphere I was expecting. If I do return, I'll be sure to break out my dress flip flops, and not accept anything "complimentary."
