The Scene
Oil paintings of European countrysides line cream-colored walls, while orchids in demi-vases dot tables dressed with silver settings and pomegranate-motif charger plates. The patio, with roll-away sunshading, sits among palms and lemon trees, garden fountains and three-foot pillar candles.
The Food
Chef Ashley James, whose presentations often favor pairing meats with fruit garnish, combines the savory and the sweet for a melodious mix. The goat cheese tomato tart tatin offers hearty beefsteak tomatoes trimmed with sweet basil sit and semi-melted cheese atop a thin pastry crust. Rich lobster bisque "cappuccino," served in a mug with white tarragon foam, teases the eye. Beef tenderloin is delicately paired with sauteed forest mushrooms and foie gras cannelloni in a semi-sweet red wine sauce. Dessert choices include the moist chocolate pudding cake with a mid-section treasure of gooey chocolate.

ok silly me, what did i expect when i made reservations for sunday brunch - a good deal? no, that is not what you get when you come to the four seasons hotel. you get to rub elbows with celebrities though. We were seated one table away from Macy Gray while we were helping ourselves from the OVERWHELMING array of buffet items: don't get me wrong: the food is delicious, but if you have a small stomach, the spread isnt worth the $70 flat fee per head. and where they got me was the liqour. i was naive enough to expect that the high asking price included at least my petite flute of mimosa, but NO siree. That baby cost me $12 and so did the shot of vodka they so sneakily enticed me to order what with their extravagant display of bloody mary mixes. Ouch to my wallet, but hey, the atmosphere was nice. It was cool to linger for a Sunday afternoon, the wait staff didnt rush us out (and actually could have been more attentive instead). A once in a lifetime experience! , but i think their afternoon tea is a better deal.

I try to go at least every few months as the brunch is quite pricey. The service is excellent. You can watch the stars and be treated like one as well. The food is always fresh and the presentation is breath taking. I reccommend going the weekend before any awards ceremony taking place in the area that is your best bet for seeing Hollywood's finest. I often take out of town guests there and they are always more than impressed.

I am a high tea devotee and I've had them all over the city -- the Peninsula, the Beverly Hills Hotel, Bistro Garden... This is the best! Luxurious environment, super-accomodating staff, yummy finger sandwiches and pastries.. Plus, Larry Flynt eats here all the time in his gold-plated wheelchair.. RAD.

Parking:

Know Before You Go:
Ask about the wine of the day. There are often affordable special selections by the glass not listed on the menu.
Look Good:
Windows Lounge, the adjacent piano bar, gets lively as the evening progresses and is a great spot to enjoy some jazz and catch with an after-dinner drink.
