Caught a bite, or rather, a full meal pre-flight and it was a fabulous way to round out our week of Vegas folly.
Love the secluded Four Seasons location, right around the corner of Mandalay registration, take the marble steps down & you're transported to understated elegance.
Two choices for dining: inside or alfresco, looking out into the private pool area.
Good:
*Iced tea w/iced tea cubes
*Lobster Salad, no lettuce, but so many ingredients, delicious & fresh
*Greens Salad, lovely light dressing & loved the mixed chartucerie
*Beef tartare, w/whole grain mustard, balsamico & micro greens
*Salmon w/lentils & a wine reduction, rustic, seared perfectly
Alright:
*Amuse, prosciutto & melon shooter, an interesting take on the traditional appetizer, the melon was in liquid form, too sweet for my palate.
*Halibut w/sundried tomatoes & olives, fish was nice, but bland, tomatoes and olives were not a nice marraige w/the halibut.
I thought it was funny that their take home utensils are SILVER plastic.
Solid food, but I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here, it's not an experience.
we were staying at the hotel and had credits towards dining so I really couldn't complain about the food. But here I go anyway.
I ordered two eggs over easy with turkey bacon. The egg whites were runny- I hate this. The toast was cold. The turkey bacon was weird. Not crispy. It looked like grilled pieces of shaved turkey meat.
It was $17.00
My daughter had vanilla waffles. Three showed up about the size of the diameter of a yoplait yogurt cup. She is five, ate them in two bites, and was still hungry.
My husband didn't like what he had either.
The waitress was nice. Then rude. then nice again. It was jarring.
i felt as though because we didn't order the buffet we weren't treated very well.
Also- staying in the hotel and ordering room service the turkey burger made me sick. The kids pizza was so bad my daughter wouldn't eat it.
It's a beautiful setting though...
Tonight, five of us dined at Verandah. This is usually one of my favorite places to dine since it seems like it is miles away from the strip. The food is great yet a little expensive. I guess that is to be expected since it is the Four Seasons Hotel.
One of the reasons I like Verandah is because they are on http://OpenTable.com. That usually makes it very easy to have a space reserved between classes at the conference. Sometimes lunch time during a conference with 20,000 people can be a challenge. Open Table reservations make that challenge easy to overcome.
But tonight the hostess did not credit my Open Table reservation. Instead she canceled it. I tried to explain to her that I did not cancel my reservation we just came an hour early since one member of our party had to get to the airport. It became difficult for something that should have been so easy.
While the food was good, and the service was good, the experience was a little frustrating. However, I will give them a chance to make it better next time.
Service: Excellent
Food: First Class
Price: Expensive
Atmosphere: A Great Break from the action on the strip
Lunch meeting, 3 hours long! We had a great time, great service, great food, the seafood bento box was to die for. Freshest seafood on the strip!
If you want a little bit of a break from all the action this is a must stop.
Usually when I'm here, I get a table for one since I have work to do and they always put me in what I call "singles row." They seem to seat all the parties of 1 in the middle of the restaurant where there's a bench seating area with single tables. Fair enough.
I especially like having lunch here. I try to get in one lunch per visit, just for this reason alone: ice tea ice cubes. Yes, just like Bonjour Cafe does with their ice coffee w/coffee ice cubes (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), this Four Seasons doesn't dilute their ice tea with regular ol' water ice cubes. Bah. That's for amateurs. Here, they bring you a glass filled with ice tea cubes and then pour in the hot ice tea, so you get full concentration and no dilution of a caffeine buzz.
Their soups, salads and sandwiches are always nice. And if it's a nice day out, you can eat al fresco.
Apparently, them changing out by white napkin for a black one because I was wearing black slacks was a big deal, because DK asked what the heck they were doing. I thought it was pretty common, but I guess not. Or maybe I've just been frequenting restaurants where they care about you not walking out looking like a doofus with white lint all over your white pants.
This is the only Four Seasons I know of that has the ice tea cubes. So don't blame me if you go to another Four Seasons asking for this and they look at you all crazy-like.
What a nice experience today for Valentine's Day!
The service was spectacular and the presentation of the food was great. We had a made to order omelet, plenty of great hot food such as applewood smoked bacon, eggs benedict, french toast with warm berries, yogurt and fruit parfaits, plenty of fresh fruit served in individual containers. There is a donut station where on of the chefs hand dips the donuts in various sauces.
We had the peach/guava juice, orange juice, mimosa and plenty of other great food.
The buffet was $35 for the regular buffet and $42 for the buffet with a mimosa or bloody mary.
A great, quiet way to celebrate a special day or to get away from the rat race of Vegas casinos.
This is the restaurant at the four Four Seasons. It's lovely - food is delicious. The outdoor verandah is really nice and calm. Highly recommended.
This place knocks the ball out of the park every time! I go once a year and it is always a different menu with great options. This year I had the bento box express for lunch. Tomato soup, panini, pasta salad and creme brulee - probably the best lunch I will have this year! Be sure to sit outside by the pool. This is one of Las Vegas best kept secrets!
My fiance and I went here for their weekend brunch after reading some Yelp reviews saying it was fantastic. Unfortunately, it wasn't nearly as fantastic as everyone seems to think. While the atmosphere was nice and the service was quick and friendly, the food was certainly nothing to write home about, especially at the prices they charge. The weekend brunch costs $35 per person, $42 if you want a mimosa or bloody mary. They had a decent selection of brunch options, but not as large as many of the other brunches on the Strip. And while the selection was ok, none of the food was spectacular. Just a heads up, if you're looking for an incredible Las Vegas brunch, this isn't the place to go.
When my friends told me they were taking me to the 4 Seasons for breakfast I thought they were kidding. A 4 Seasons, on the strip? Who knew? A completely surprising and wonderful experience.
Be sure to have the Huevos Rancheros! The red sauce they prepare is so rich and creamy it would be probably make a fun dinner ice cream! I do ding them for using jarred salsa.. I'm sure that most of the cooks in the back have awesome salsa recipes.. the chef needs to hit them up, seriously! Also a ding on the so so pastry basket.. come on now.. this is the 4 Seasons.. I bet they could bring something better in than what they currently serve.
In all the chaos and drama on the strip this is one of the most secluded feeling and comfortable escapes. I look forward to coming back soon!
A group of us visited Las Vegas for a friend's birthday in August 2007 and, since they were staying in the Mandalay Bay, his big birthday dinner was held here.
The dinner itself was nice, if a tad pricey, which is to be expected of The Four Seasons, I suppose. The real star of the evening, though, was the drinks, particularly this drink called the Desert Rose that consisted of Belvedere Citrus vodka and hibiscus syrup. Absolutely delicious and hands down, one of the best drinks I've ever had.
On an aside, I had written down the ingredients for the Desert Rose, but accidentally misplaced them. I e-mailed the Four Seasons and within a few days, they had e-mailed me not only the ingredients, but the directions on how to make the drink. This is stellar service and it was much appreciated.
While I probably wouldn't make this a regular place to visit for dinner, I could see coming here for drinks or special occasions.
Verandah is always a lunch stop when I'm in Vegas. The restaurant itself is nice, with a patio overlooking the pool area. I like that the restaurant is quiet, a nice change of pace from the typical noise of a casino restaurant.
The only thing I order here is the burger. It is cooked exactly to order, juicy even if you have the nerve to order it well done. The truffle oil fries are good, though I must admit that I've had better. But overall, one of the best burgers to be had.
The chicken noodle soup is also good, very homemade tasting. The ice tea ice cubes are really cool the first time you see them and useful too. Makes you wonder why more restaurants don't do it.
One of my favorite restaurants in Vegas. I highly recommend the lunch menu and the prices are reasonable.
Spacious yet intimate, Verandah restaurant offers an informal dining experience for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Verandah's comfortable sophistication and indoor/outdoor attitude are reflected in its colours of pear, moss green and mango, and in the natural fabrics and warm woods of its dcor. An outdoor terrace and indoor dining room provide the relaxed setting of a Mediterranean mansion overlooking the lush gardens and Four Seasons pool.
A bountiful daily breakfast includes an array of fresh juices and exotic fruits, and the weekend breakfast buffet is a must. Lunch and dinner menus offer a mix of American with contemporary Italian influences. Two unique components of the dinner menu include the "Dining My Way" section from which guests select three items to create their own entre (protein, starch and vegetable) and the "Anytime" menu which features such traditional favourites as the Four Seasons Club sandwich, Verandah chicken wings and chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. Verandah also offers a very popular children's menu.
OK, so the last two paragraphs were cut and pasted from the four seasons website, but they said it better than I could! This place is #1!

The Verandah is Four Season's version of a hotel cafe. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. I've eaten there for breakfast. The breakfast menu offers simple American favorites - pancakes, French toast, waffles, hash - plus a couple of ethnic dishes, such as huevos rancheros. Lunch gets a little more ambitious, and at dinner time the menu switches to an Italian theme.
**The Atmosphere
Colors are mostly a range of browns, with lots of wood. Seating is available both indoors and outdoors; while I sat indoors, outdoor seating looked very nice. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed.
Service was friendly and efficient. I can't describe this very well, but I had a good feeling about the restaurant. Everything just worked smoothly.
**The Meal
I chose an often recommend dish: corned beef and pastrami hash, two eggs, and crisp potatoes. It started out with a layer of finely shredded potatoes - actually more like thin spaghetti than shreds - fried crisp. Next, a thick layer of hash. Lastly, two eggs, any style; I chose scrambled.
The hash consisted of a thick layer of finely minced corned beef and pastrami. It was delicious; somehow I managed to finish the gargantuan portion. The crunchy potatoes shreds were an excellent foil to the smooth hash, although they were a challenge to get onto my fork. The only disappointing item was the eggs. They were overly firm and lacking in character. However, that's a minor quibble. I would recommend this dish to anyone.
I also ordered a latte. It came with a small biscuit that was a cross between pistachio biscotti and shortbread. Slightly sweet, it was a good foil to the coffee.
**Summary
After only one meal, I'm ready to place The Verandah on my list of top breakfast spots. Its menu doesn't appeal to me as much as that at my top choice - Bouchon - and the overall feel of the place also isn't quite as inviting, but the combination of excellent food, good service, and pleasing atmosphere make it a winner.
**The Bill
The meal was $21, plus tax and tip.
I really wanted to like this place. Easy to make reservations on Open Table, and when I called to update the reservations to a later time they were super polite and accommodating - especially considering the reservation was for a group of 8 (which wound up actually being 7).
First, the food - that's what you really go for, right? The menu looks great; unfortunately, some of the dishes don't deliver. Although I did like my salad first-course, others in the group weren't so lucky. One person's scallops were over-cooked and rubbery, and the caprese salad was so salty it couldn't be eaten. More mixed reviews on the main dishes. The short-ribs were a hit and people liked the oxtail ravioli, but the skin on my sea bass was soggy instead of a nice, crunchy texture, and someone had undercooked chicken that had to be sent back.
The worst part of the evening? The service. Our waiter came by twice in roughly an hour - first to give us menus, then to take our orders. Even though it took about 90 minutes to get our dinners, he never came back to ask if we wanted more drinks, say it's coming, etc. And there were only 4 other parties in the restaurant! When we finally complained to the manager, there was no apology - simply a head nod. Truly disappointing. The apology only came awkwardly during the THIRD conversation with the manager, after the raw chicken had to be sent back. Then came the after dinner chocolates - they brought 6. For a group of 7. This was possibly the worst service I've ever experienced. It's a real negative mark on the Four Season's luxury brand.
Because I like to leave things on a positive note, the drinks were great, as was the bread basket.
Afternoon tea in the Four Season Hotel, Monday-Thursday 3-5pm. Scones with devonshire cream, strawberry preserves and lemon curd. The scones are small, silver dollar sized and so flaky and you can ask for more. The wait staff's attention to detail is very good, I wore black slacks, they gave me a black linen napkin instead of the usual white, so there wouldn't be lint on my pants.
4 different tea sandwiches and 4 different desserts on a tiered
serving dish. Each person gets their own choice of tea. Around $30.
Beautiful atmosphere in the Verandah, both dining inside and out, next to the pool. Downstairs from the main lobby.
Four Seasons hotel is attached to the Mandalay Bay Hotel
Four stars for Lunch and Two for dinner for an average of three.
Don't be confused by the location, this "restaurant" is really an over priced hotel cafe. The Lunch is very tasty and a nice change from most Vegas lunches. At dinner, however, the kitchen deludes itself into believing that it is a top rate dining establishment.
If this place would realize that it is what it is, I am sure it could be a great all around cafe. One thing that the Strip is definitely missing.
This was a most pleasant experience - class act all the way. It was crowded, but the hostess was able to find seating pretty quickly. We got to sit on the patio and it was a perfect setting...next to the pool. They started out with a bread/cracker basket with a wonderful white bean dip. The dip was so good we had to order seconds. We had a scrumptious salad. Normally I dislike blue cheese because it is a "strong" cheese; however, this salad had such a good combination of textures and flavors. The ice tea was spectacular as the ice cubes were made from ice tea. The sweet potato fries had just the right combination of sweetness and saltiness. Service was very good and very friendly. Overall, a very relaxing, pleasant visit.
Good NOT great. I had dinner here with several of my coworkers. I opted for the Chilean Seabass, it was good, not great! I was almost going to say it was OKAY but I think it might be better than okay. The service however is fantastic and the atmosphere superb! We all sat outside to dine and it was very nice, very relaxing. I would return perhaps to have lunch or breakfast but for the money, there are way too many options in Vegas for dinner and this would not be my first choice.
I just returned from one of the most overpriced lunches ever. it was at the verandah at the four seasons hotel, which is also located in the mandalay bay resort. the hotel has a private entrance away from the main entrance of the mandalay. It does continue on with that slightly tropical, slightly Asia and beautiful resort dcor from the mandalay. theme. there was indoor and outdoor seating available overlooking the pool. the tables and chairs were of rattan amidst the wood tones around the restaurant. We started with tuna sampler of tuna tartare (ahi poke), blackened sashimi (seared tuna) and spicy tuna maki roll (spicy tuna roll)...good but unimpressive. We also had the tasty and crispy crab cakes on a jicama-green papaya-mango slaw (this is a definite recommendation...i just love that slaw). my friend had the original san francisco crab louis, which was loaded with hella lumps of crab meat. i had the nioise Salad with grilled hawaiian rare tuna (these were meaty bastards that resembled slightly rare steak with a shiny sheen under different lights), haricot vert, roasted potatoes, cherry tomatoes, capers, and big chunks of red and green olives sprayed with vinager. We also ordered garlic and parmesan fries, sweet potato fries, which both needed a better dip than ketchup. (note the sweet potato fry comment on my pop's review...totally better over at pop's.) my friend could not stop raving about the macaroni and cheese (sounds like somebody else out there...Ed M.) and wholly crap!!! it was damn good, in fact i took some back to the office and eating it right now. this cheese is just extremely creamy, but what I love about it is the garlic toast sprinkles all over the top. when you mix it all up, every bite you'll taste the creamy buttery cheese, the softness of the macaroni, crunchy little bits scattered throughout. we did finish it off with the mini eskimos, roasted nuts and dark chocolate covered vanilla ice cream bars on a stick. i had to have two!!!
if i could i would like to give this place 3 and a half stars. i mean the mini eskimos and crab cakes were good. i ordered the nicoise salad because it looked and tasted good, plus i didn't see anything appetizing in the entree section. it is a good thing b/c i probably wouldnt have had the chance to try the mac and cheese and fries. both items were side dishes, and they were happy to whip us up an order. i would like to return here for afternoon tea and then add some more insight to this place...till then...
I try the afternoon tea in Verandah (Mon-Thu 3-4pm) and that is fantastic. That is done formal style quote from http://en.wikipedia.or...
"Traditionally, loose tea would be served in a teapot with milk and sugar. This would be accompanied by various sandwiches (customarily cucumber, egg and cress, fish paste, ham, and smoked salmon), scones (with butter, clotted cream and jam -- see cream tea) and usually cakes and pastries (such as Battenberg, fruit cake or Victoria sponge). The food would be often served in a tiered stand."
Verandah afternoon tea makes you feel like you are not in vegas anymore. Everything is so quiet and peaceful. Of course the price tag $30/ per person is abit steep for afternoon tea but what do you expect from having afternoon tea in four season in United States?
Finally, you had to reserved in advance for the afternoon tea since the sandwich and pastry are hand made daily by their pastry chef.
As far as Vegas dining goes, this is one of the most pleasant experiences you can have. Lightyears different from any other strip and casino restaurant, Verandah provides a beautiful, calm and relaxing dining atmosphere. This is the place to go if you want to get away from your typical Vegas scene. Verandah has both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating almost reminds me an island resort's restaurant... and the outdoor seating is beatiful and relaxing by the Four Season's quiet pool. The place has a Mediterranean garden feel to it which is really wonderful. Their food is a bit mediocre as far as Four Seasons dining goes but absolutely always hits the spot with a nice array of salads, sandwiches and other usual hotel restaurants offerings. I must recommend their Arnold Palmer - don't know what makes it so good but its a must try!
GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PRICE, GREAT SETTING
========================================
The service is superb (what else would you expect from the Four Season?). We were sat promptly on the verandah overlooking the garden and pool. The chairs and tables were comfortable. The staff were excellent, helpful, prompt and proactive. The food was great. The brunch buffet was amazing (they even hand make mini donuts to order). The fresh juices tasty and refreshing.
Verandah has the kind of "can and will do service" that you'll be highly satisfied with. Also, you won't even feel like you're in Las Vegas the minute you enter the property yet it's right next door to the Mandalay Bay Hotel.
I would expect a certain level of quality and service from any Four Seasons. Verandah did not live up to the standards of a Denny's.
As a college student I definetly couldn't afford to eat dinner at this excellent but expensive restaurant. I was lucky enough to be invited to dinner by a friend of mine, whose parents were in town and were staying at the Four Seasons. I loved the ambiance the wait staff was professional, courteous, and attentive and provided the level of service you would expect from a luxury hotel restaurant. I think what's unique about this restaurant is that you can have any dish in an appetizer size or an entree size, and the dish is priced accordingly. I had the clam linguini, appetizer size and it was delicous the white wine sauce was superb along with the pasta, freshly chopped tomatoes, and clams. Verandah also serves excellent bread while you wait for your meal. If you have an expense account, I highly recommend this restaurant.
This place is fantastic for breakfast, lunch or brunch. The service, food and ambiance - especially on the patio is 5 Star. If you have any stress in your life have a nice liesurely lunch on the patio and watch your worries disappear. Oh, and the Iced Tea ice cubes are made from Iced Tea! Awesome!
One of the best meals that I have had in Vegas. The server, Michael, was great and the food was fantastic. We first had a winter risotto that we shared among all four of us. It had asparagus, mushrooms, a few different cheeses, etc. I had the Chilean Sea Bass, which came with crispy gnocchi, mushrooms, tomatoes and a lobster sauce. It was so good. Two of my friends got the tenderloin and another friend tried the crab-crusted scallops. Everything was amazing. We also got two desserts, which was actually one too many. Also, for one friend's brithday, they had given us a little chocolate cake. Everything was perfect.
We ate here twice during our last trip to vegas, once for lunch and once for dinner. The menu was really interesting, the service was good, and the price was reasonable for a fancy place. The patio outside is really nice on a nice day.
Overall the food was really tasty. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that I got the blackened fish tacos for lunch and they really weren't very good. Kinda fishy and otherwise flavorless.
Sunday Brunch. $32. All the freshly made donuts you can eat. Mmmmm..... I feel like Homer Simpson. One caution, you may have to beg for attention on Sundays, the place can be packed.
