I visited Les Saisons with high expectations based on its ratings and awards, but frankly, I did not find the food and service to match the price range. It was quite a disappointing experience.The dish that left the worst impression was the second course, which combined foie gras with wild vegetables. The strong bitterness from the vegetable stems overshadowed the rich flavor and aroma of the foie gras, making it hard to appreciate the combination. Personally, I found it quite unpalatable. For a restaurant in this price range, it raised significant doubts about the quality of the dish.Overall, the other dishes were also forgettable, and considering the prices, my satisfaction level was low. Although the dessert was delicious, it wasn't enough to elevate the overall experience. I don't feel inclined to return for the amount I paid.There were several concerns regarding the service as well. First, despite ordering mineral water, it took a long time for the staff to refill my glass even when it was empty. In a restaurant of this caliber, I expected more attentive service.Additionally, I was bothered by the audible conversations and instructions among the staff near the kitchen. Such exchanges at a volume that could be heard in the dining area negatively impacted the dining atmosphere.What surprised me even more was that, despite four tables still being occupied, the staff began clearing up in the back. I could see them handling tablecloths carelessly, which was disappointing, especially since they should have been aware that customers could see them. There was a lack of the poise and attentiveness expected from a high-end establishment.I also questioned the timing of the birthday cake presentation. It was served while we were still enjoying dessert, which made me wonder if the staff was properly observing the flow of our meal. Even though I was seated in a visible spot, it was hard to understand why it was presented at that moment.While it may have had a good reputation in the past, my recent visit did not reflect that standard. Recent Google reviews also mention issues like "the food not being to their taste" and "declining service quality," and I regret not checking those before my visit.I felt that the food, service, and ambiance did not justify the prices. It seemed as if there was no one managing the quality of the service and food, leading to a significant gap between the ratings and the actual experience.I will not be returning.
