Fountain Restaurant Review

The Four Seasons serves three meals a day in its sprawling, well-appointed dining room -- and all of them feel extra special. Food here, no matter if it's a basket of croissants at 7am or the ornate, mange tout prix-fixe dinners ($85 for four courses, $110 for six) is understated and sophisticated. The menu changes seasonally -- and some ingredients are grown in the hotel's rooftop garden. Lobster and steak star, but edgier choices include seasonal red snapper with snow pea tempura and truffled Caesar salad. Service and surroundings straddle the line between formal and down-to-earth, never even hinting at pretension.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
