"During a Sunday breakfast at the Four Seasons Milan amidst the whirlwind of Fashion Week, my husband and I witnessed what could only be described as the greatest faux pas since someone decided socks with sandals was a look. Our hostess, more engaged with her phone than the runway of life unfolding around her, seemed to have mistaken the entrance to one of Milan’s most prestigious establishments for her personal lounge. To our astonishment, seated directly before us were none other than the high priestesses of fashion, the one and only.... stone cold, sunglasses wearing, editor of vogue (not saying her full name because I don't want this taken down) and the editor of vogue china (who had just stepped down from her position the day before), deeply engrossed in what appeared to be the most exclusive exit interview, given Zhang’s departure just a day prior. I MEAN IT WAS UNBELIVEABLE. I was shocked that the hostess let us be sat next to two people clearly having a private discussion that was so serious. the next thing the hostess did utterly shocked me. It was then that our hostess, in a move that could only be described as for a lack of a better word careless.... decided to place the most obnoxious family in the world, featuring a soloist baby determined to reach the high notes, wailing with ever breath right next to fashion royalty. Yes, amidst an ocean of empty tables, this was the seating arrangement de jour. I mean it was ear obnoxious crying. The decibel level soared to such heights that even Wintour’s legendary sunglasses couldn’t shield her from the cacophony, prompting an unceremonious departure and leaving us to ponder the meaning of life, fashion, and breakfast choices.Wintor ended up getting up and leaving because she was so annoyed and no one could get a word in. This event was not just memorable but an unforgettable showcase of how not to curate a dining experience during the apex of Fashion Week. To be honest this employee does not represent this brand well in the slightest. A truly iconic moment, not for the sartorial splendor, but for the lesson in dining diplomacy. Forever etched in my memory, this breakfast will always be a reminder that even in the most stylish of settings, the real show might just be happening off the runway."

"I am not prone to the easy enthusiasms (just scroll my reviews to understand) and I came to try this new restaurant with a good load of perplexity. generated by their social communication very well, but at the same time very ampollous. a word effluent that left me the bad feeling of people who told it a little too much. the second doubt was represented by the so-called natural wines, for my uselessly complicated and fashionable goto but that under law can not be called so. a serious restaurateur, most of all if he has a sommelier, he should know. the European wine legislation has been expressed in this matter. all that is not foreseen is forbidden and natural wines do not exist because they do not have a disciplinary and therefore cannot be defined such. Finally we add the cursed fashion not to put the tablecloth on the tables (bruttini, on the other hand, seems ant and if it is not, it is bad already only that you resemble us). We were going wrong, so only stupid people don't change their minds. When you try three courses on three exceptional and you just have to say chapeau. very well-kept location at times even excessive (the golden brem furniture in the bathroom for example I find kitch,) service an intrusive filino (the commensali are not interrupted to explain the dish, it is expected that the same listen). But let's go to the dishes. first: roe ragout tagliatelle, pino mugo, cranberry grue of cocoa. (p.s.io I also heard of juniper, my homemade noodles error, divinely cooked (and noodles are not the simplest pasta in the world to be made to the tooth) and the ragù? poetic. I've heard us in the whole woods, one of the best spiders eaten in my life. simply superlative. I would have eaten a second dish. Second: deer counterfiletto, hazelnut deer bottom, beet sauce, artichokes and mushrooms. very good, raw materials of absolute excellence (the mushrooms were an explosion of taste). not a conceptually revolutionary dish but that left me very satisfied. sweet: mascarpone creamy, almond crumble, pine nuts, topinambur waffles and porcini mushroom ice cream. If I hadn't been hit by the first two courses, I wouldn't have dared on porcini ice cream, but since the kitchen had emotions. . . Also excellent is this combination that on the card could be daring. I cleaned the dish with absolute satisfaction. I will definitely return, maybe for the tasting menu(95 euro, not few, I hope it worth). necessarily high prices but more than just for the quality of the overall proposal. I hope the club will take a step as it deserves. I'm already passing word"
