"I'm really only giving Fountainhead three stars due to a decent experience downstairs. Upstairs probably deserves a one or two star rating. We came to Fountainhead on a whim as it was on of the first nice days in a while. We were quoted a 1 hour wait for the rooftop, which was expected, given the fact that it was dinner time and a beautiful night. We decided to get an appetizer and a drink downstairs during the wait. We were seated at the bar and both bartenders were fantastic! They were attentive to our needs and were friendly. We went with the cheese curds, which was probably the best thing I ate that night. Lucky for us, the one hour wait ended up being more like 35 minutes. This is where the night took a turn for the worse. The other reviews were spot on that the service on the rooftop was HORRIBLE. Literally some of the worst I have seen. It took almost 20 min to order and get our first drink (I ordered a vodka/soda and my husband a beer). The waitress didn't even take our food order after she dropped our drinks off. Another 20 minutes later, we managed to place our order. I got the fried chicken and my husband ordered the shrimp roll. The food took another 30 or 40 minutes before we finally received it. You could tell it was ready a while before it was dropped at the table because it was already cold when we got it. The chicken was average at best and the Mac and cheese was flavorless. It took us another 30 minutes to flag our waitress for a second drink and our check. She eventually dropped both off but then never came by to cash us out. I think after 20 minutes of waiting, we finally gave up and walked to the bar to pay our tab. She did finally stop by to ask us how we were doing, but never once apologized for the wait. If we come back here, I really hope it's not the same experience."

"Since this place didn't take reservation (very small place) we took our chance to just try our luck. We were seated less than a minute on their busiest night....as long as you don't mind sharing tables with strangers and made a few friends. The menu is decent and covers enough varieties. We picked a few basic and some unique dishes just to see how well they compared. We ordered the seaweed salad, crab tempura, black pepper king crab knuckles and the lobster crab lemon grass roll. The seaweed salad was well prepared. Not too sweet and it tasted fresh. The tempura was lite and crispy with a slightly more acidic yuzu dipping sauce which I liked a lot. The one thing I did noticed it the crab is not as fresh as it should have been. The lobster knuckles was somewhat ambitious and hit some high and low marks. High marks for creativity and perfectly studied stir fried veggies. Though the lobsters have a nice delicate thin crust, it's a bit more spicy (with jelopeno) version of the tempura sauce. I know it's a matter of personal preference but I think could be better if the sauce was on the side box you can't take it out if it's too much for the customer. The lobster crab lemongrass roll was the least favorite and disappointing for something that sounded very promising. The rice were a bit mushy for a roll and there were no lobster or crab. It looks like a normal surimi krab roll that's fried and serviced warm (yes it's another fried dish). Not worth the money... hence the missing star from my review. Overall they get a passing grade for service, quality but a bit lacking in the value for the money."

"This place is one for the books! I reserved this place to have my birthday dinner and I'm happy that I did, we even luck up and found a parking space in front of the restaurant. This place is beautiful and has an old school mob type vibe, not the people just the decor. The staff was cool, nothing above and beyond that stood out but no flaws to point out as well. The guy who controlled the operations of the restaurant knows what he's doing and stopped by each table to greet each guest when they were seated, after the food was served and before we exited. He kept himself moving and I respect that! Now on to the best part and that is the FOOD! We started with the margarita flat bread which was fresh and delicious each ingredient had its own individual flavor that blended so well together. It tastes like it was made by an Italian grandmother. The truffle fries were really good and had enough truffle oil so that you can smell and taste it on the fries. THE BRANZINO was absolutely delicious that butter sauce and those capers. The grilled branzino was cooked to perfection, even the peas that came with it were good and I don't even like peas lol. And the last but surely not least the skillet cinnamon roll, put it this way after eating this cinnamon roll you just up your standards on how a cinnamon roll should taste. It was flaky soft and fully cooked so no dough like texture or flavor. Watch my check ins for this place I'm going to become a regular lol."

"We usually love dining at Ciclo. We are happy to pay extra for next level service, tasty food, and a great ambience. This was my husbands first time dining there, so we were hoping it would make a good impression. We sat down and were not greeted or acknowledged for almost 15 minutes. Our cocktails came out one at a time, over the course of the following 20 minutes. Upon getting our food, which was mostly delicious, our server had not checked on us or refilled our drinks. Other servers came by with a water pitcher in hand to top up our waters, but that was the most attentive anyone had been. When asking for a side of lemons (plural) for one of the guests iced tea, the server said no problem. After waiting 5 minutes, my friend went to the seafood table and grabbed some lemons that were meant for the shrimp cocktail. The server came by finally and slammed a bowl down next to her that only had one lemon wedge and said nothing and walked away. She slammed the bowl down so hard we were all quite alarmed and had to inspect the bowl to make sure it didn’t break. Needless to say, our experience was terrible, and not on par for a Four Seasons dining experience. We are disappointed. I’m not sure if they were understaffed that day, or our server was inexperienced, but the service was horrible. I want to mention that we are very pleasant, kind, and patient people. Normally we don’t complain or paint businesses in a bad light, but I feel like this needs to be seen by the restaurant so they can make some improvements."
