    Words can’t describe how this place was, very impressed of the setup, the flow of the restaurant and the environment of people enjoying each other. Service was exceptional and very precise. The food was amazing and the way they showed hospitality to me and my wife for our anniversary was amazing. Definitely recommend the pork chop and red snapper of available. Enjoy and thanks once again.

    Great service, food was very good. A mix-up about the dessert. The server was great - but we thought we were just not getting the real story. The server brought us additional desserts, but still the experience changed the dynamics.

    Boy what a massive disappointment. Had high expectations considering it is a Shaya restaurant at the Four Seasons. After this dining experience my assumption is that the Shaya group has very little to actually do with this restaurant. I cannot point to a single thing this restaurant does well. It started off poorly when they were 30 minutes behind schedule to seat us. Then as e we walked in we overheard another diner speaking to the staff requesting to speak to the manager. We joked about maybe we should just leave. Wish we had. Once we sat down 30 minutes after our reservation we saw our server for about 2 minutes and then nothing for 30 minutes. It’s now 1 hour after our reservation time and we don’t even have bread on the table. Once we reminded the staff about that it came out quickly but we didn’t get plates for another 20 minutes. This was our 10th year doing a Reveillon dinner with our close group of friends and this was by far the worst experience. The first course wasn’t terrible but not memorable either. The best thing I can remember about it was someone saying the sauce was “pretty good but not as good as Cane’s sauce”. The second course things got worse. Either some lettuce with a sprinkling of mushrooms or turtle chili. They called it soup but it was lukewarm chili. No sherry brought to the table either. The main course things didn’t get better. My duck course was overcooked and the only knife I had to use was my dirty butter knife from earlier in the evening. Our server wasn’t terrible but not good either. Seemed like they did not have enough staff which is unacceptable for a meal that costs $200/person (included a mediocre wine pairing - same wine was served to everyone whether it paired with the dish or not). There is no way I could recommend this place to anyone. What a waste of time and money. I usually don’t leave reviews but I’m honestly mad. I feel like I was robbed.

    Blue Crab Au Gratin and Pork Chop were fabulous. Ambience and noise level were not what we expected for an evening dinner.
