Talavera

We had a terrible experience at Talavera at the four seasons in Scottsdale Arizona. The paella was the worst Ive ever had anywhere it was terribly salty terrible pork belly, overly smoky and absolutely the worst paella I have ever had. The manager was arrogant and condescending and they did not take off the charge for the terrible paella even though I only ate a few bites. I am a local from Desert Mountain. And I was hoping that the high-end restaurant at four seasons would have good food nothing was further from the truth. I would never go back to your again even the mashed potatoes versus Celta you could not eat them. The fillet mignon was tender, but also so salty you could not eat it. And the wine by the glass so expensive was also very poor quality. You would think the four seasons resort would have a high end restaurant with good food and good service, but its simply is not true. I would highly recommend that you never go there. What a rip off. But I am asking that it was ridiculously expensive. They wanted $85 for one glass of wine. What a terrible experience. We will never go back there again.

The service was fine, not great. The food was great except that the paella could have used a bit of spice or at least some hot sauce as an option which was not offered. A nice evening out but not the service one would expect at the Four Seasons.

The paella was less than par. My husbands paella is supremely better, and it didnt even look as though it had any saffron in it as the dish looks gray. Dietary restrictions: They did work with my gluten challenges

An insulting first experience. Xmas brunch with four adults and a child. Poor service and I get called after spending nearly a thousand dollars on brunch to be accused of not paying our bill, which is beyond a joke. This has never happened in my life, and what an insult on Christmas after spending so much money!

Terrible service. The food was okay but slow coming but good. Went there for a Saturday night dinner in early January and expecting good food and good service. Instead service was terrible!!! We saw our server maybe 3 time all night and we kept having to flag down other servers. Food took forever to come, no one filled our wine or water glasses. Even after we complained, the service did not improve.  We like to stay at the hotel but this is our second bad experience at Talavera. This review would have been a one star but they comped our dinner which was a nice touch.
