Chemin à la Mer, situated on the second floor of the Four Seasons hotel, offers a refined dining experience with a menu especially suited for warm weather. Overlooking the Mississippi, the restaurant features a shaded balcony that creates a perfect setting for a late afternoon meal or snack. The food quality is consistently high, with standout dishes such as the hamachi crudo, featuring fresh and sweet yellowtail. The Pan Seared Gulf Shrimp is perfectly seasoned and extraordinary, earning praise from many guests. The restaurant also excels in desserts, with the Malted Chocolate Mouse Bombe described as divine.
The staff is well-trained, attentive, and friendly, providing great service that enhances the dining experience. The views over the Mississippi River add to the romantic and relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal place for special occasions or a beautiful evening out. During happy hour, oysters start at $2, and guests can enjoy multiple choices, making it a popular spot for oyster lovers. The vegetarian dishes are highly praised, often called chef’s kiss, showing the restaurant’s versatility.
While the overall experience is positive, some reviews mention that service can be slow at times, and parking at the Four Seasons may involve long wait times. Nonetheless, Chemin à la Mer remains a favorite for its outstanding food, lovely views, and inviting atmosphere.
