Fountain

$$$$, Contemporary, Benjamin Franklin Parkway

User Rating: *** 3.4

Fodor's Review:

Dining here is a cosmopolitan experience, blending pleasant, polished service with elegant appointments. The peak of the experience, however, is unquestionably the food, with such dishes as soup with duck confit and dried raspberry bread pudding, and roast squab with cumin-scented medjool dates. Chef Martin Hamann and his staff are constantly experimenting to create culinary excitement that changes with the seasons. The restaurant is tucked away off the lavish but understated lobby of the Four Seasons -- a culinary oasis for travelers and a favorite dining location for well-heeled locals. Especially popular is the Sunday brunch, a knockout in bounty, elegance -- and price.

A place to wow your date

Posted by shelshoc from New Jersey on 1/22/07

Very beautiful place to eat and drink -the waiters work overtime for you, but the menu was less than impressive. For the amount you will spend they do not give you many choices. If you are looking for a place to impress a date try the Grille in the Ritz Carlton.
