Customer Reviews

Wonderful look at an American institution

The Four Seasons restaurant in New York is a unique American institution, home to celebrities and also commoners who wish to step in for an always-exquisite dining experience. Alex von Bidder--a co-owner along with Julian Niccolini--has teamed up with John Mariani to write this most enjoyable history of the 41-year-old restaurant. The book bubbles over with rich anecdotes, it captures the social drama of New York, it tells a delightful story of success with a touch of humor and humility. The book is, most of all, a great read.
