Cabana Restaurant

I truly enjoyed this restaurant while enjoying a relaxing stay at the hotel the weekend before July 4, 2015. Breakfast waffles with fresh berries were so tasty on the beautiful pottery dishes with a glass of juice continued poolside for late morning refreshment! Wowie so nice.

Ahi tuna burger is heaven! I tried the tacos and a few other entrees and everything was Delicious! Always enjoy eating here and the staff are really great!

This new pool side eatery at the roof of the Four Seasons is a great spot for a healthy (and vegan if you are so inclined!) lunch.
We were a group and shared several things:
Fried yucca! What a nice change from french fries and what great flavor. I loved the garlic-​lime aioli and beet ketchup!
The peaches and tomatoes with burrata tasted like summer. So refreshing and everything was perfectly ripe.
The maple wood smoked mushrooms were so flavorful! They were rich and earthly and came with an incredible sundried tomato cashew cheese dipping sauce.
For mains I loved both the red bean veggie burger sliders (with a fried pickle on top!). The bun they came on was so light and I didn’t miss meat for a second.
The battered avocado tacos were so good too! They came with house pickled purple onions. I could eat a whole jar of these onions and a ranchero salsa.
The atmosphere was delightful. And we were absolutely stuffed.

Nice menu, the chef accommodates special diets and allergies, and the food is delicious. The service is friendly and professional.
This is a lovely place to treat yourself to a feel good, taste good meal in a nice California chic setting.

Loved everything about the Cabana Restaurant!
From the gorgeous rooftop and palm-​tree lined pool to the amazing wait staff and delicious food!
I came here with a friend last month for brunch and originally had planned to eat at Culina on the main floor. After being seated at Culina, the mood was kind of dead so we ended up changing our minds and heading upstairs to Cabana… so happy we did!
The patio is beautiful and sunny and there are beautiful flowers and hummingbirds surrounding the tables. My friend and I were both warmly greeted and quickly seated, despite not having a reservation.
I had the Classic Eggs Benedict with asparagus which was to die for and my friend had the Spicy Pulled Chicken Quesadilla and a Bloody Mary. She was very happy with her meal as well!
Our servers were funny and attentive, which really added to our experience.
After our meal, we walked around the pool. Hotel patrons and restaurant guests alike took advantage of the sunny weather and comfortable pool chairs.
Definitely one of my new favorite spots!

I wrote a review of this restaurant embedded in my review of the Four Season’s hotel.
I really enjoyed the food, and I’ll say this… I’d almost say, I’d come here just for the French Fries… but then would feel odd just ordering that, so would grab a burger (they cook it to order, and my preference is Medium Rare — which they did perfectly)
Here’s what I had to eat here:
Real Fries — Chef Ashley’s Chipotle Ketchup — These are a single serving that can be shared by two, but are delicious enough to be had by one, and so good, you almost hate to share ‘em!
Seared Ahi Burger — Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, Jicama, Seaweed, Slaw, Avocado, Whole Wheat Bun — I kicked off the avacado, since i’m not a fan of that on my food.
JC Burger — Short Rib Patty, Maytag Blue, Tomato, Caramelized & Crispy Onions, Rosemary, Ciabatta — minus the Maytag Blue, since I don’t like cheese.
I had their fresh fruit as a side, and it was good. They said the fries used as a side are not the same as their «Real Fries» so please be aware of that, and you have to go for the «Real Fries»
The prices are of course higher than what you can get elsewhere, but it’s a culinary experience to a degree, simple food served right.
The parking in the area is easy, aside from what the facilities provides, there’s a lot of street parking options in the surrounding area, meters, 2 hour and 4 hour (on Burton Way) zones as well as a few unlimited /​overnight (just up the block on Doheny Drive) and all walkable. Just make sure you read the signs.
Everyone was nice at the restaurant, so it’s an overall good if not great experience.

The JC Burger— TO DIE FOR!!! Went another time and had the Original Cobb Salad. Everything amazing, yummy, and fresh! Really cool, stylish bowls they serve the salads in! Lovely outdoor dining next to the 4^th Floor pool at the Four Seasons.

The readers digest version of this is, intended to do brunch at the hotel but missed the cut-​off/​closing time so we did a late lunch at the café by the pool. Not even close to being the same and very expensive plain jane food. Only eat here if your staying here and then only if you just have to be by the pool. It’s the worst option in the hotel.
The rest of the Four Seasons at this location is fabulous; just this restaurant is barely ok.
So an out of town girlfriend/​business associate calls me to join her for brunch at the Four Seasons on Doheny on a Sunday. She’s staying there while she’s in town on business. She says she has to make a few calls and then we will do brunch; her treat/​expense account. I love Sunday brunch at the Four Season so I say sure what time. She’s not sure, it depends on how long the calls take. Don’t you need a reservation time I say? No she says they will seat us whenever, (she’s got pull with the place, she stays there a lot).
Long story short, the calls go longer that she thought and brunch is closed out, over and done.
We end up here, at this little café by the pool which is really just an expensive coffee shop by the pool on the fourth floor. Everything was like really expensive for what if was, (mostly in the $ 15-​$ 25 range), and not very imaginative or creative or well anything but pricey. Drinks come in plastic glasses, (your at tables but the pool is close by) and the service was just so-​so/​on the slow side; especially by Four Seasons standards.
I guess they have high prices to keep the pesants away but at least they could be a little more imaginative with the food. It was almost like they called Denny’s for delivery and served it as their own. (Which would explain why it took so long to get our food).
