Profile

There may be better places to eat in New York City, but this is the single greatest room. We specify the Grill Room, of course, and at lunchtime, not dinner. That’s when members of the town’s power menagerie gather along the banquettes like sea lions on a rock. Everything on the extravagant menu—$55 for a steak, $48 for crab cakes—tastes much better when you’re on an expense account. When in doubt, order the dependably sturdy bison burger ($34) and a Bloody Mary or two, then sit back and enjoy the spectacle.

Recommended Dishes

Maryland crab cakes, $48; bison carpaccio, $32; Dover sole, $58

Yes indeed the Four Seasons is a place to go to be seen, having said that, there are some Serious issues ,such as , when one orders Breast of Duck, MW, the Captain saying it's usually served RARE , then having it sent back to the kitchen ,for a Rush 0job, Poor. Theres the matter of the Busser's changing the table Cloth. and Exposint the Table -top, That would?should NEVER happen under Tom Morgatti, but still He was seated in the Pool Room. There's the matter of the Kitchen/swing /door, Sweaking ?? for want of a bit of oil etc. This should nNOT happen in the Four Seasons, Amen Seamus Fogarty, in the Free State of MD .

Next to this subject and quote there should be a picture of Julian. The effects of his personal influence abound within the very fabric and the well rehearsed pulse one feels beating from the moment one approaches the reservation desk to the moment you leave. The friendly attitude of the staff and the meticulously prepared fare make the Four Seasons one of New York City's most enjoyable restaurants and most assuredly one of its most spectacular destinations.
