Verandah at the Four Seasons is one of the few places I'll pay exorbitant mark-ups for breakfast / bruch food. Bouchon will always be my #1 in my heart, but Verandah has always been a favorite of mine for many years.
FOOD: The first time I ate at Verandah was back in 08' for Mother's Day. As a teenager, fine dining lunch was the only thing I could afford. Over the years, I've kissed goodbye the lobster eggs benedict at breakfast and the only salmon burger in Vegas I'll eat. The salmon was always flavorful and perfectly cooked. If I'm paying a mini-fortune for a burger, I expect it to be prepared the right way. The current menu offers all the classics which they do extremely well. The corned beef has--yummy! But as a fine dining restaurant, I would like to see a little more character and diversity--something unique to Verandah that will make me itch to come back to eat.
DINING: If the weather allows, DO sit outside. The patio area is absolutely amazing on a beautiful day. Its upscale and luxurious but you get the amazing view of the pool. They have big sunbrellas and adorable wicker chairs to lounge around and enjoy your meal--classy! There's also plenty of space between you and the next table so you don't need to worry about being cramped or eavesdropping. The interior is just as nice.
Whenever I come here, I get that relaxed, laidback vibe but I still feel fabulous. This place is perfect for having a nice meal with friends or someone you're trying to impress. If your into American food classics--you'll certainly enjoy this place.
