We are on a trip through Walla Walla and passed by... I haven't had french food in a while, so we decided to drop in for dinner. On a wednesday night, in off-season, the place was packed... after a very short wait we got 2 seats at the bar and had a wonderful dinner. If the dinner was 5-star, the dark chocolate mousse for dessert was 6-star. Great selection of wines which are reasonably priced, and really nice Port selection for after dinner (also reasonably priced).

This was my first trip to Walla Walla and our first stop. Loved, loved, loved Brasserie Four. We enjoyed their outdoor seating area, kept warm by their patio heaters. Our vodka, soda, lime drinks were perfectly poured. Three out of the four of us ordered identical meals; a bowl of French onion soup and a baguette to start, a Croque Monsieur sandwich as our main course, and Creme Brulee for dessert. All were delicious! As for service...fabulous. All the weight staff were courteous, accommodating and Johnny-on-the-spot. As for price...reasonable considering the quality and type of food. My three-course meal was about $40. (Drink price not included in that total.) I felt this was very reasonable for what was, in my opinion, a five-star meal at a five-star restaurant. Nowhere in my neck of the woods do we have a good french restaurant, let alone at these prices. Bummer I didn't take pictures to share. I will definutely return on my next trip to Walla Walla.

I have been coming to the Brasserie Four since it opened and have always enjoyed it as a staple of Walla Walla cuisine so I do not say it lightly when I say that this restaurant made for perhaps the worst eating experience of my adult life. Truly the fall off should be studied because I cannot imagine how a restaurant could be this bad without it being by design.
I went with a group of friends and we ordered a slew of things off the menu. The first dish - a charcuterie board - was perfect fine but uninspired. Turns out it would be the only edible thing of the evening. We ordered all of the salads and each one was repulsive and inedible for its own special reason, starting with the “special” heirloom tomato salad which was served whole with little chunks cut out of it (as if they had removed a rotten part here or there). It was served in a repulsive brown sauce. The other salads were equally disgusting (seemingly designed for the palette of a low-budget retirement community) but not insulting on the same level as this true disaster of a dish.
My friend ordered a vegetable dish for her dinner and it was unsightly - looking like boiled frozen vegetables. She took a few bites before deeming it disgusting. The worst dish of the night though belonged to the steak frites which were served in what felt like a marshmallow sauce. It was cloyingly sweet and utterly revolting. I raised the issue to our server who seemed offended by my input, claiming that the “sauce is made with sherry” as if that explained why it tasted like marshmallows. My wife got a butternut soup that tasted exactly the same - more Pumpkin Spice Latte than, you know, a savory soup. She had maybe two bites.
We raised the issue of the sweetness of all the foods with the wait staff who seemed increasingly offended by our not liking the food. It was truly bizarre and incredibly uncomfortable. Despite our sending back most of the food uneaten, the bill arrived in its entirety, nearly $400 for food that a prisoner would turn his nose up at.
Due to the horrible food and service, I opted to leave no tip (something I have never done in my life). In a truly shocking move, that was later changed to a 20% tip. Pretty sure this is actually fraud/theft...
After trying to reach the restaurant for days via email, I called in and communicated with the GM Xander, who was also rude and dismissive. When I told him we’d be coming there for 20 years, he scoffed and claimed that they were only open since 2007, as if that totally negated all of my concerns. I told him I would prefer to just settle this without resorting to writing negative reviews online and contacting my credit card company about the clearly fraudulent charges he said that I “didn’t want to threatened him”. So in addition to terrible food and offensive service, you can also add aggressive, belligerent management to the list.
I wanted to give Brasserie Four the benefit of the doubt and allow them to resolve the myriad issues of the night but they have proven that this is just common practice there and disdain for their guests and their experience is just baked into what they have to offer these days. No matter what you do, do not patronage this sad, pathetic shell of what used to be a good place to eat.

Great french bistro style restaurant. The steak frites was perfect!

This was the third time we had dinner here and unfortunately the quality of the food and service were not what we experienced previously. We waited 1 1/2 hour before our main course arrived and it was cold upon arrival. The French onion soup had very little flavor. The mussels did not taste fresh. It appeared they were having problems in the kitchen. Service was also friendly but very slow and forgetful

For all the hype, we were a bit disappointed. Not sure if we will be back.
Excellent dinner outside with my pup at my feet. Everyone in Walla Walla has been exceptionally kind and welcoming. Brasserie Four has an extensive wine list and everything we ordered from the menu was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We had steak and frites, a caesar salad, the shrimp with pasta, then finished up the meal with a strawberry crepe. We will definitely return!

I would have given Brasserie Four 5 stars for food and service. Only reason for 1 less star is due to $30 corkage fee. I mistakenly thought a Walla Walla restaurant would support the local wine industry by offering a reasonable corkage fee (maybe $5-10?). Otherwise the appetizer, mussels & frites were amazing but 1/2 of our bill was the corkage fee. Our server Marissa was wonderful. Our fault for not asking the corkage fee before. So just be aware.

Like this place. Had steak Frites. Haven’t been in town for a while and the person who owned it sold it and started some funky market somewhere else in town. New owners sitting at the other end of the counter. Everybody was nice. Food was good. I’ll come back.

I'm not sure which was better - the food, the outdoor seating, or the company. The latter consisted of a mix of locals as well as visitors to Walla Walla like myself. All of us agreed that Brasserie Four is one of the top restaurants in town. The seafood and even the house salad were amazing. The ambiance is elevated and quaint. The service was exceptional with friendly and attentive wait staff. Downtown Walla Walla - and its people - made this a wonderfully memorable trip.
