Beautiful scenery! Although, the portion size for brunch was not worth it for the price of the food. I ordered avocado toast, and it was only one piece of bread with a thin layer of avocado spread on top. It came with a side of sunny side up eggs, but I felt like I was still starving after I ate the food.

The rosé tasting menu was absolutely delicious. I followed it with ceviche and a glass of Pouilly-Fumé, a recommendation from my lovely waiter Jose. Food and service was fantastic. 5 stars!

Alexis is an excellent server! Her suggestion to try the smoked swordfish fish was right on - I wouldn't ordinarily try this but I'm so glad we did. The classic hippie salad with salmon is always a winner - excellent experience even in a jam packed dining room

Spring is now budding parties at the Four Seasons. Taking a break from a long day of Zoom calls one can walk the grounds and enjoy the upper and lower dining areas. Four seasons is about experiencing Austin from an insiders view of the City Limits! T’is the season to enjoy the Seasons. The Four Seasons has decorated for the holidays with Santa’s caravan from Shady Grove! The spectacle is whimsical and the food is scrumptious. Try the appetizers making a great cocktail hour. Pass the stories from Christmas past, present and future as you sip Moscow Mules and Prosecco!

For a restaurant in the Four Seasons I don’t think it matches the brand in terms of exclusivity and prestige. However that shouldn’t be a reflection of the experience. It’s just the reputation of The Four Seasons that preceded it. Daniel our server was amazing and engaging. We arrived just before the kitchen closed and the service was still pleasant and nice. The lamb was great the food amazing and everything was up to par. I definitely will be back to experience the lunch on the patio during warmer days. It was definitely worth the price and the experience. I need to not allow expectations to impact the experience. All in all a great dining experience.

This 4S may be my favorite one yet, definitely some of the best food I have had in a hotel in a long time! I could not have felt more welcome as a plant based eater and both the carnivorous and vegetarian options alike were prepared exquisitely, I look forward to dining there again this evening.

It was good food and a good experience. I was a little surprised the food was marginally seasoned. Just never experienced a flavor explosion with any of it. Nice selection of items.
All the service staff were genuinely friendly and attentive. Our waiter, Daniel, provided very attentive service with an outstanding sense of when to be nearby and an anticipatory understanding of what we might need. We started our dining experience with excellent drinks and appetizers at an outside patio table with a wonderful lake view. When the temperature became a bit too cool, Daniel made our transition to the interior of restaurant with remarkable ease and seated us at his window-side table, again enjoying another remarkable view of the rambling, tree-lit grounds as evening descended. Daniel's food and wine recommendations were excellent, and the entrees were scrumptious beyond measure. The entire evening was a fantastic culinary and environmental experience. Many thanks to the Sommelier, Joe Pena, and to Ciclo in general for the most pleasant dining environment!

Valentine's Day so a bit packed. Reservation at 8, weren't seated until 9. Courses were spaced out 30-40 minutes apart. Sat for an hour before first course was served. Food was subpar. Meal cost almost 700
Unfortunately we had a terrible experience. Had dinner on Valentine's Day (only because we happened to be staying at the hotel that day). Made reservations weeks in advance. Were told we had to sit outside (cold, no heaters available as they were being used), but that we could move inside once a table opened. Watched 3 other couples that came in after us, get moved inside. My husband asked the hostess again if we could be moved or at least have a heater brought to us when one opened up. Again, no one checked on us. Saw a manager wheel a heater past us to a couple that just sat down after we had been waiting an hour and a half. Food wise- received burned popover, main entree of wagyu filet was so salty it was inedible and potato rose was burned as well. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to receive our entree. Just very disappointing overall. It wasn't until the end of the meal when someone asked how our meal was. Eventually the manager came out and apologized for the inedible entree but never really asked about anything else. He mentioned he had been in the kitchen all night. I'm assuming they were having issues in the kitchen and were understaffed. I don't typically leave negative reviews but we had such a disappointing experience for a $400 meal for 2.

Valentines dinner. $168 per person. No welcome champagne, table no linens, cable. Basically looked like where the served breakfast. First dish was raw tuna, my wife won't eat....great start. Should have had something choice. Servers nice. But no bread and salad lacked flavor. Multiple courses but not worth $168 set up so poorly. Had violinist that was nice touch. Much better options in Austin for the price and ambieance.

Superb food and great service. Nick really was great, we had just arrived from a long flight from England and with my wife’s allergies was very helpful and made sure everything was spot
