Reviews
I would suggest the GM of the resort needs to experience this place for himself and come up with a new plan. The venue is awesome but the current formulation does not work and does not reflect the high quality of the rest of the resort. Nobu is expensive but good. The Break upstairs is excellent.
The service was fine, our particular server kept forgetting about us whether it was to take our order, refill our wine glasses from the bottle, refill our water, or bring us the check. All the other employees were great though.
The views of the bay and the gardens are lovely. The restaurant is open air and very comfortable.
There is table seating and bar seating (both traditional bar seating and “mozzarella bar” seating, just like in the other Mozza restaurants.
BREAKFAST
A ton of variety and there are some great, unique options. Some item portions are disappointing (there was basically no oxtail in the oxtail hash) and some items were not great (bacon Benedict was meh, but the lobster Benedict was amazing!). The French toast and waffles were good, but untraditional. The pastries (banana bread, monkey bread, raspberry bars, etc. were all good and fun. The avocado toast was excellent (they rub a garlic clove on the bread, squeeze citrus, and sprinkle flake salt on top)! The coffee/espressos are great. They have fresh juices, and wonderful fruits.
*breakfast is about $60/person
DINNER
If you’ve been to the other Mozza’s, this is very similar with a smaller menu. The food is great. The menu options are single serving -sized portions, generally (some meats/“secondi” are noted as being for two), so if you plan to share, order several items. *the pizzas are ~10” personal -sized, good as an appetizer share. They’re known for their pizzas and mozzarella, specifically, but everything is generally good. Great cocktails. The butterscotch budino was very bitter, not like I remember (I remember it being very butterscotch-y, but here there was a very distinct burnt caramel bitter taste), so maybe each location does its own take.
*Expect to pay about $200+/person for a full dinner experience (prices are ~30-40% more than LA/DC)
The concept of this new restaurant at the Four Seasons is fine. It’s a basic Trattoria style set in an incredible setting. The views are gorgeous. It’s a nice place to eat.
The food, however, all left the kitchen without being tasted by a chef. It’s now two hours later and we have regrets.
It started with a mozzarella menu. The mozzarella was fine but it was accompanied with an olive oil soaked bread. I love bread and it was barely edible. It needed washing down with a bottle of wine.
The pasta course was interesting. It was a single ravioli shared between two and it was still too rich. We left a half pound of butter swimming on the plate.
The fish course was the best of the three, with fish kebabs served over some grains. But it was laden with garlic. So laden that it’s clear that the food was not being tasted by the chef on the way out. So laden that hours later, I feel like I have a small rodent crawling down my throat. A rodent marinated in garlic.
To add to this, in my view restaurants need to live in symbiosis with their environment. There was nothing local, in an island that has so much to offer. Not even local fish. What a travesty.
Perhaps we are dealing with the teething troubles of a new restaurant trying to find its way. Or perhaps this restaurant is entirely the wrong concept in the wrong place at the wrong time.
And then the check comes. It’s not unexpected – you’re the Four Seasons after all – $100/person minimum for food, plus wine, plus taxes and gratuities. $400 for a couple is the low end, and you could easily breach $1000 or more for two.
That’s the nail in the coffin – if it was $100, you’d shrug and move on. At these prices it’s totally unacceptable.
My advice? Walk 50 feet to the East and book a table at Nobu. You won’t have any regrets over there.
But it does pose a problem with Four Seasons customers staying for multiple nights, because there are only two restaurants, and few if any-off-resort options.
