“ Whenever we visit Vegas for our Thanksgiving trip with my in-laws, we usually stay at Aria or Park MGM and walk over to Wicked Spoon Buffet because of its wide variety of food stations: seafood, carving station, breakfast, desserts, and more. This time, we came back to Vegas for the Janet Jackson concert at Resorts World but decided to stay at Mandalay Bay. The morning of the concert, we were looking for the best brunch or buffet options, and Veranda at Four Seasons came up as a top choice on Yelp. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host and seated. Our server, Leo, welcomed us and recommended checking out the buffet options. While Veranda's buffet is smaller than Wicked Spoon, the stations looked fresh, well-curated, and inviting. A highlight was the bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys, which had additional creative options like the Strawberry Blonde and a tequila-based cocktail, a nice twist from the standard offerings for an extra charge, separate from the buffet pricing but worth it. Buffet Options/Highlights They offer an omelette station, donut station, seafood, bread, salad, fruit & yogurt station, and a hot food station. Food: 4.5/5 I tried the sticky bun, banana pudding, bacon, avocado toast, fried chicken, donuts, omelette, and chia pudding everything was delicious and well-prepared. Drinks: Fresh Juices Orange Juice: 5/5 (fresh and vibrant) Carrot Juice: 4.5/5 Cocktails All the Mimosas: 4.5/5 (loved the variety) Bloody Mary: 3.5/5 (decent, but nothing extraordinary) Service: Excellent. Our server, Leo, was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and thorough in explaining the buffet vs. à la carte menu. At the donut station, Francisco was incredibly kind, taking his time with guests and letting everyone customize their toppings just the way they wanted. The restaurant was clean and the decor reminded me of a complimentary dining space at a courtyard hotel. I would absolutely return, even if we're staying at Aria or Park MGM, because Veranda is worth the experience. The food quality is excellent, the service is top-notch, and the drink options elevated the experience. Would definitely recommend! ”

“ This is a restaurant inside the four seasons. A bit upscale and tucked away but worth the find. The place is beautiful so you definitely feel fancy upon entering. The service 5 stars for sure. Our server was attentive, suggestive, friendly. Food was incredible. Too bad they are closing :( ”

“ I came here with a group of girl friends for the Nutcracker Afternoon Tea. This is currently available every Saturday and Sunday from 2-4 until the end of the year. Best place to park is valet at the Four Seasons. If you dine here at the Veranda, your ticket will be validated. It has been a long time since I've been to this restaurant. I remember it being very good. The set up for the afternoon tea was so cute! I love the nutcracker themed decor on the table. We each received a pot of tea of our choice and a 3-tiered assortment of snacks. The top tier included gingerbread scones and other variety of scones. Middle tier includes a variety of sandwiches, and the bottom tier includes desserts. The gingerbread scones were my favorite. The sandwiches were also delightful. I thought the desserts were just okay. Price is $85 per person, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Nevada Ballet Theater. Overall wonderful experience and a great time with friends. ”

“ Delicious food! Love love the squid ink lobster pasta. Bill was our waiter and he was very informative, knowledgeable and attentive! And the rest of the staff as well were very attentive and helpful! We were so blown away with the delicious food and service, we have to let people know. We don't give reviews that often but places like these deserves them! Ambiance and staff were amazing! ”

“ I visited Veranda on a weekday lunch with a group of 5 coworkers to celebrate my bosses' birthday. We were quickly greeted and sat to our reserved table when we arrived. Our server had amazing hospitality and strived to make sure we were taken care of during our visit. Although, the owner of our company (who visits this place often) had a slight issue with the server over how one of his drinks came out. But nonetheless, they were pretty efficient and friendly overall. Once our food came out, we were very impressed at the quality and flavors! It was so yummy & well done. The octopus was so tender! I've never experienced octopus being that tender, so I was thoroughly impressed. My sea bass was cooked to perfection! The flatbread was to die for! Overall, it was a wonderful experience! A must try! ”

“ It was hard to find coming from Excalibur, but worth the trip. The service is top notch and everyone enjoyed their food. Full bar which is nice to have. Overall, very nice atmosphere and good food. Two suggestions: less olives in the salad and go a little thicker on the flatbread pizza. ”

“ Veranda is located inside the Four Seasons. You can valet park at the entrance to Four Seasons and then enter and go left to the Veranda. Dined here on Christmas Eve after church. What an absolutely amazing experience. We were promptly seated and the waiter delivered menus and waters for us. They had a special menu for Christmas and their regular menu as well. We ordered meatball appetizers and house made focaccia bread. Also a beet salad and tomato basil soup. All of these items were delicious and well prepared. For dinner I ordered slow roasted veal osso bucco. My wife ordered the Branzino. Both meals arrived hot and both were absolutely delicious. The risotto was a bit under done, but the veal was outstanding. The branzino was full of flavor and was flaky and moist. For desert, the grandmas triple layer chocolate cake. This desert was absolutely decadent and delicious. The ambience is upscale inside Veranda as one would expect inside the Four Seasons. The service was impeccable and the food was 5 star as well. The wait staff was also 5 star. Give Veranda a try, it's well worth the trip. ”

“ This review is for the Holiday Tea Service. I needed somewhere to take my elderly Mom to celebrate her birthday. This place popped up only feed and I decided to book a small party for holiday tea service. We arrived a few minutes early and we were promptly seated. Bill was our server and his service was truly outstanding. From the time we sat down to the time we left, he made sure our little celebration was memorable. The holiday tea is $85 per person and includes a glass of bubbly which was Prosecco. Not one of my faves so I upgraded us all to a glass of Veuve Clicquot. Great way to start out our tea service. We had our choice of teas. We all selected a different tea so we could share. We chose the Ruby Oolong, Golden Chamomile Blossoms, Nutcracker, and Gingerbread cookie. All the teas were so flavorful and I really loved the Gingerbread cookie tea as did my daughter. Our beautiful tower arrived with all the goodies from savory to sweet. We loved the scones and they were served with Devonshire cream. They tasted very fresh. The dark chocolate Yule Log was a hit along with the Sea Salt Caramel Pâte à Chou. Our table was nestled in a private area so we felt very comfortable, and when it came time to sing Happy Birthday to Mom the whole restaurant joined in which I know she loved. Overall we had a wonderful experience and the service was just top notch. Be sure to valet park when you arrive so you can take in the beauty of the decorated Four Seasons Hotel. It is stunning during the holiday season. ”
