    M&L did not disappoint! This was our first time trying it despite being a FS customer since 2014 and what a treat it was. The Ceasar salad was amazing and the filet was exquisite; but two other stars shined bright that night: 1. The mushrooms [out of this world] and 2. The service provided by Duane and your hostess. You guys made celebrating my spouse and a dear neighbor a ton of fun. Thank you again and hope to see you soon! JZ.

    Jeremiah, our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients. We were so impressed with his passion for the quality of the food and the preparation. We told several of our friends they need to visit for the food, ambience and service. We will be back hopefully sooner than later.

    Incredible food and great vegan menu. We were actually at Ferraro’s in Maui (another Four Seasons restaurant) last week, and this blew Ferraro’s away. My arrabiata was perfect and my wife’s truffle cavatelli was incredible. Would definitely make a point of coming back for our great serve too.
