Jun was a great experience! The food was great, super complex in flavors and textures in every dish, which is something I love! The restaurant itself was very beautiful! Our servers were fine, nothing to to write home about, but the rest of the staff such as the food runners, etc. were very sweet and provided amazing service! I would definitely recommend this place and sit at the counter with the view of the kitchen if you can!!

One of our best dining experiences in a long time, considering we dine out frequently. We enjoyed refreshing cocktails at the bar prepared by Kevin before moving to the dining room where we were attentively served by Yuli and her colleagues. The appetizers were so delicious - the swordfish dip, empanada and bison anticucho. We took on the recommendations from their F&B Head Likith and enjoyed sharing entree plates such as the octopus and Toro Toro churascho - the Colorado lamb was just amazing! The Napa Nook bottle of wine recommended by Gary was just the right pairing. We closed out with desserts La Bomba and churros, and got to meet Executive sous chef Jonathan so we could offer our compliments to the chef and his team. Outstanding evening, thank you Four Seasons!
