Gabriel was an attentive and timely server. Gluten Free options in most dishes. The drunken sea with pink vodka sauce always pleases. The monthly specials are a treat esp the Seafood Risotto. Outside dining on a comfortable summer night makes this place one of my favorite go to spots in Toluca Lake.
My wife and I are California locals, although live in Los Angeles. We have been to the Four Seasons Westlake location previously and felt it could potentially help us get into the rhythm or normality (or, as close as we can in a global pandemic).
We were not disappointed. We stayed for 2 nights and the consistency of the cleanliness was top notch. We dined at the Coin and candor restaurant twice. We had a wonderful dinner and an insanely beautiful breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the waterfall. The birds, the water sounds and the sun coming up were priceless.
The food, the staff (chef included who popped out to say hello) were incredible. The energy was perfect, the space between tables was perfect and there was never a feeling of a pandemic; they somehow were wearing masks, screens and gloves and made us feel like the world was normal.
we loved it and the best part, the GLUTEN FREE Bread :-) Haha, this may sound insane, but this isn't always available at restaurants.
We very much enjoyed the reasonably priced meal we had. Apps were crudo and carpaccio. Crudo was gluten free and excellent. Mains were Coq Au Vin and Grilled Salmon. Both very good. Desserts, drinks and service were all very good. Welcome to Westlake!!!
Very nice place in the Target shopping plaza. Here are a few thoughts. Really nice decor, and staff. Our server Jacob was excellent. Place was so freezing cold though that the servers and hostesses and most of the patrons were wearing coats. We were all freezing in there. Dessert was out of the question. All we wanted was to get out to a warm car. Food was good, not great. I had the shrimp dish, which was basically a cioppino with pasta. Very tasty, but the pasta was one minute before al dente, some would say undercooked. The Mahi was a generous portion but totally unseasoned. Just a pinch of salt would have made all the difference. Gluten free pizza was excellent.
Grilled oyster appetizers were awesome, but the portion was tiny, I believe 5 very small oysters for $25.
Pricing was probably normal for the area, but was almost Nonna’s level of price points and nowhere near that level of quality, ambience or service.
I’d go back, but I’d go knowing what to expect, and I’d do it in the summer
