This was exceptional. We love the grounds at the four seasons and this is their outdoor set up includes a wood fire pizza oven and a charcoal grill for exceptional plates. The ambiance is amazing and the staff attentive. Highly recommend for dinner and drinks and as it is more causal that the other offerings on site you can dress to your levelOf comfort.

Lovely setting at the back of the Four Seasons hotel. The best part is getting a drink at the beautiful bar inside the hotel before going out. Food is good and the pizza is very good, only issue is that they cook them one at a time so be ready for a wait. Very friendly service.

We so wanted to experience a “5” after reading the reviews. The menu of pizza and grilled items looked great, and - the location - on the beach at the Four Seasons Hotel is fantastic. However, after ordering two pizzas and waiting over 45 minutes - and the restaurant was not at all crowded - we inquired on our order status. We were then told the pizza oven had broken over an hour ago. We get it - things break, but the fact that they took our order and never said anything until we asked is very poor communications. They finally delivered the pizzas - which we took to go. To their credit, they comp'd the pizzas and the two drinks we had. When we got home and tried the pizzas, we were disappointed. they weren't cooked through and were soggy. they probably used an ad hoc oven. They should have told is up front, and we would simply have ordered something else. We felt bad for the waiter - as it seemed he was told the manager not to say anything about the oven as manager scurried back and forth presumably trying to fix the oven - so we still gave the waiter a $40 cash tip

The setting is simple and beautiful on the pool level of the Four Seasons with the sound of the ocean and the soft air. The food is delicious — the pizzas are made at an outdoor pizza oven, the meats and vegetables grilled also in view closer to the beach. The cocktails were perfection. The only downside is the price point. Not for the faint of heart.

Excellent service which matched the service from the Four Seasons hotel. Food was delicious!!!! Ordered sea bass and steak with mashed potatoes which melted in your mouth like butter. The ambiance in this spot is so sexy. Live jazz musicians play in the Lounge area. Drinks perfectly made. Reservations are a good idea.

Terrific food in a really enjoyable setting. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Salad and shrimp appetizers were tasty. The veal and salmon main courses were spectacular. Among my favourite restaurants of 2023.

This is located inside the Four Seasons and a reservation is a must. Service was outstanding along with the drinks and food. Our waiter made several suggestions which were all on point. You will have to order your appetizers and entrees all together which was odd but everything was spaced out nicely. Highly recommend the Beef Tartare and the Lobster Thermidor. Cocktails were very good along with dessert. Be aware that gratuity is included. Not being from the area we didn’t realize this and added an additional tip.

Our anniversary dinner at The Surf Club by Thomas Keller was an absolute delight. The food was exceptional, with highlights like the flavorful beef Wellington, the delightful petite plateau, and the heavenly crab cake and steak tartare. The service, led by Justin, was impeccable and added to the overall experience. It was truly the best dinner we've ever had. Thank you, The Surf Club, for making our anniversary so memorable!

Porverbial tourist trap. The food was expensive bar food. The place being empty should have been a dead givaway. It has no style. Go across the street to the Lobster Shack.
Food was wonderful and everything was presented like fine artwork. Service was over the top! Definitely worth the experience
This is my new favorite! The waiter was very helpful in guiding us toward food we would enjoy. Every dish we had was unique and delicious!!! Loved it so much that we went there twice in one week and cant wait to go back again. Highly recommend.

Below our expectations, my wife and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary at this restaurant that operates under the aura of the Thomas Keller brand. Unfortunately it does not compare with other restaurants of the same chain. My wife had to give $100.00 as a guarantee and received multiple reminders prior to the reservation date that she replied confirming our attendance. To top it off the same day she received a message that the table should only be kept for 10 minutes. We were wondering if we were 11 minutes late would we lose the deposit? As for the restaurant, although I don't like to criticize establishments that provide jobs, it does have deficiencies. If you are health conscious or vegetarian the menu has no alternatives and the few alternatives are mediocre. Our waiter was polite but not accommodating and at no time did he notice if we had water in our glasses or bread on the table. Food delivery was slow and the bread already mediocre we felt restricted. An abundant and varied bread basket would be more in line with the restaurant's claims.

We dine at Leila regularly. Love this pop-up restaurant at the Surf Club at the Four Seasons in Surfside. The food is always fabulous and the service is top notch. Hailey takes great care of us and remembers all of our favorites even when we don't remember them. The setting is outside and very beautiful.

We had been to Leila a couple of times in the past and had loved it. This time, the food was kind of mediocre and the service, while very friendly, was glacial. I'm not sure we would go back.
