So we had Xmas eve dinner with some friends at Talavera @ The Four Seasons.
The Con's:
* The décor of the 4 Seasons really needs to be updated, the whole SW territorial thing is a bit 2008, Feels like a nursing home.
* We were seated at the bastard step child's table. Pretty sure it was a folding card table, and the chairs were out of their conference room. The rest of the diners all had great tables and nice seating. Seemed really odd.
* The waitress had such a heavy accent no one could understand her. The next waiter wasn't much better, he went around the table taking orders, then left without one person having ordered. He returned about 10 minutes later and apologized for missing the last order.
* The food presentation is really weak. It tries to pull off the whole gourmet artsy thing but misses by a mile. Hard to take cafeteria food and pull that look off. The bread I was pretty sure it was out of one of the Pillsbury dough tubes you mom used to make. The salad was real weak. The entrée could have been alright, but the cheap tasting BBQ sauce they drowned it in over powered any taste of the actual meat.
* Desert wasn't much better, the coffee was great thought, so I am giving them that.
The Pro's:
* It is close to our home.
Sorry, really trying to give them something but it's nearly I possible. I would never return. I find it hard to believe that a 4 seasons could be this bad. We have stayed at quite a few of the brands resorts and always been happy. The good thing was that our company was great and it made the evening enjoyable. Such a disappointment.
