Editorial Review for Quattro at Four Seasons Houston – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
This hotel restaurant is curvaceous and elegant, with an antipasti bar, silky banquettes, mod Italian lighting and stunning private rooms. Discriminating travelers and movers and shakers fill this bustling downtown destination known for accommodating service and exclusive wines.

The Food
For a cool taste of the Italian Mediterranean, catch the seafood tower stacked with fresh lobster, shrimp, oysters, a daily seviche and mussels. Dine American style on a juicy rib eye with fragrant truffled fries or the superb smoky double-grilled pork chop piled with buttery corn and shelling peas. Well-executed penne pasta is lavish, with trebbiano wine-cream sauce, spicy chicken, shrimp and fennel sausage. Scrumptious miniatures like the rustic pear tart or tropical mango mousse allow you to get your just desserts.

We've been to Quattro several times over the past 10 years, and I fear with the departure of the great Tim Keating a couple of years ago, the food at the Four Seasons has not recovered, Most recently we dined there and found the food still not up to Four Seasons standards. I ordered an appetizer of a type of charlotte of chestnut puree, which was unremarkable. The butternut squash goat cheese ravioli was obviously reheated, which was soft in the center portions, but hard on the edges. My main course of filet mignon with garlic spinach, mashed potatoes was excellent. Then a crash back to earth with the bitter chocolate tart, which was cold and soggy on the bottom from being poorly defrosted. The service is still first rate, as is the atmosphere. We like coming here because of the surroundings, and one can have a conversation without having to shout. But the food was disappointing. Four Seasons - please do something about the kitchen.

Pros: Ambience, service, wine list

Cons: food needs help

Marisaro....your email doesn't read as a "professional". You may want to take a few grammar and spelling classes. This isn't the place for you...try Bennigan's.
