"We were hotel guests, and have dined here before. Was good. Very good. It is the Four Seasons after all. This visit the staff were very sympathetic to our quite specific shellfish allergies, however because of the strong seafood theme our menu options were quite limited. No biggie, we are used to that. The Four Seasons! Let's go... So, we saw calamari on the menu. My son's fave! Can we have it deep fried? 'No. Saute only. No deep fry'. Sorry to have asked. OK, we will have 2x racks of lamb. For $45 each we received two mini potatoes, two mini carrots, and two extremely overcooked pieces of broccolini. Oh, and two hockey stick lamb chops. It's official. A rack of lamb is now two chops. Oh! There was bread.My wife had the salmon, but didn't eat it because it was dry and overcooked. Like a phone book.Note: Everything was EXTREMELY salty. Like, kidney stone inducing salty. I gave one of the lamb chops to my daughter because her soup was too salty, and I admitted defeat and gave the other one to my son because we ran out of bread, and the petite broccolini didn't fill him up. I settled for water. And my petite broccolini. I wasn't giving that up for anyoneWe went to Carl's Jr for dessert. Breakfast was oatmeal, a kids buffet, french toast, and multigrain toast (I was actually served wholewheat, with a single teaspoon of butter, no jam, no nothing. I wish I had known, as we make our own berry preserves, and I would have taken a jar. And a sandwich), two coffees, and two juices. $95. What ticked me off was the waiter argued about letting my little girl have the buffet (she is a grazer with a small appetite), and he was (I will say it) rude when my son had trouble verbalizing his order. The first time I dined at a Four Seasons was in Singapore in 1979. That was spectacular. I had Scottish smoked salmon flown in that morning. Donna Summer was the floor show. Live.This place has argumentative wait staff, small servings, and over-seasoned food. I thought I was re-living the "L'Idiot." restaurant scene from LA Story. If you don't know that scene, it isn't good. Not good at all."

"Wow what a disappointment! As a Texas resident and huge fan from the one time we visited the Dallas restaurant I was excited to find a location in Carlsbad and introduce my family to the wonders of Texas de Brazil. Sadly it started poorly when the hostess refused to seat the 6 of us even after I told her my sister and nephew would be joining us in about 30 minutes. After contemplating a venue change she got her manager’s approval to accommodate us. So we sat and our waiter introduced himself and we asked for water. And then he disappeared for a while, brought us water, then disappeared. After about 15-20 minutes of sitting there I got up and went looking for him to ask if anyone was going to help us and when do we get food. He apologized and said he thought we had been there before because he spoke to my 13 year old autistic son who all are toy told him we had? So I was informed we just needed to go grab plates from the salad bar are to get started. Good to know after sitting around for 20 minutes. Then once we sat there for another 10 minutes the first offering of meat came out. Finally! Only it was well done and not the best intro to what I believe is good quality meat. We would finish our meat and be waiting for a good several to 5 minutes before another offering. It seemed much slower than what I remembered from a previous experience. Once every 5-7 minutes? We definitely were not overwhelmed with food and pretty much ate the entire time. My son and I never turned over our green token and yet got skipped on a couple occasions. Seems like green/red tokens didn’t really matter. We arrived at 7:15 but my 9:30 I had to ask our waiter to bring the check because we had a movie at 10. I asked him how dessert works because I saw other servers going around with a big plate. He just pointed the dessert bar behind me and listed all the desserts and offered to make it to-go. So I ordered one but was surprised to find a charge on my bill! That was never explained to me!"

"Very disappointed. We had really been looking forward to this as it was several months in the making due to a previous forced cancellation. Everyone we knew raved about it, but it was not good and not nearly worth the money. We are not picky as my children like Outback and the Olive Garden to give you an idea. The salad bar was lacking. It was missing the sushi which my daughter was looking forward to as it is prominently displayed on the website. The sides were served slowly with small portions that we had to request more multiple times. The beans were watery like soup. Our table was broken and wobbled any time someone touched it. We were told there was a dress code and had our children dress up. We were the only ones. I saw shorts, sneaker, sandles, overalls. Anything goes wardrobes. The meat. It was very slow to come around. So much so that we had to ask for most of the choices we were looking forward to. If we had not spent time on the website discussing with excitement what we wanted to try, we would have missed out on at least 1/2 of the options. Once we asked, as we knew the selections by memory, those items came out once. -The filet mignon was maybe the worst I have had at a restaurant. It was very chewy. I did not finish the 2 small pieces I had. -The drummets had pieces of bone or hard bits breaking off into our mouths. -The mashed potatoes were ok although how they were served, they got cold very quickly. Served as a thin layer on a mini platter. Served in a bowl or deep dish would keep them warmer. -The french fries may have been the best thing there. There was no food there that we would ever want to have again. The women's restroom had 3 stalls. 2 did not have locks on them. When we were seated at the table, there were so many items and glasses that there was no room to put our hands down. Even the little red/green cards did not matter. My children (teenagers) we excited about that but it did not matter what side we had turned up."
