    We were there for Christmas Day. It was a very expensive prix fixe, $149pp + tax and gratuity. It was a buffet… one of the worst I’ve ever been to. The prime rib was fatty and extremely tough. There was only one salad with greens (which no one in my family liked). The rest of the food was either overcooked and/or not tasty at all. There were times when they ran out of food and you had to wait for it to be replenished. They ran out of asparagus altogether. I basically ate quinoa and a caprese salad for dinner. Such a disappointment for a restaurant at the Four Seasons.

    When we made Christmas dinner reservations there was no mention of it being buffet only. Ruined our Christmas dinner plans. It looked like a brunch menu. Sorry. Truth in advertising would have helped.

    Having dined at Ciclo on several occasions, the food tonight was not worthy of a 4 seasons dining experience. Seating was quick and n accommodating. We had invited another couple And raved about the food that was to come. The time between the appetizer and the main was one hour and 20 minutes. I did recognize that they were quite busy. Secondly when the entrees did arrive , they were COLD. And next issue was my wife’s and our friends wine order of a wine by bthe glass . and she compared it with the iconic 2 buck chuck . That p should never had made it on the menu . When dining at a relatively expensive restaurant , one also mi my might expect a fine meal. This 300.00 meal was a waste

    The Ambience and Food were good. The Lamb portion was small especially considering the $75 price.
