Busy, photo-ready Asian-fusion brunch with standout pancakes and creative benedicts, fast service once seated, and a noisy, cramped room; expect a wait and occasional inconsistency.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Four Chairs excels with exceptional signature dishes like mascarpone pancakes and Korean-style benedicts and fast, attentive service once seated, delivering the energetic brunch experience its loyal following seeks. However, inconsistent execution during peak hours—temperature and seasoning lapses— and a tight, cramped room with long waits prevent grade A territory. Worth a detour for fusion brunch fans willing to navigate crowds.
Restaurant Summary
Inside, the room feels warm and bustling, with lines at peak hours and servers hustling plates of colorful bennies and fluffy stacks. A guest summed it up: "Once seated, everything moved fast and friendly." Expect an energetic vibe and photo-worthy dishes. The cooking leans playful and fusion-minded—think Korean-style chicken benedict, creme brulee French toast, and strong coffee drinks. Flavors skew sweet-savory and crowd-pleasing rather than subtle; most plates land, though a few diners note occasional bland or room-temp bites when the rush hits. Families fare well thanks to a kid pancake, grilled cheese, and familiar brunch basics. That said, the room can be tight and loud, and waits are common on weekends. Picky eaters should stick to classics, while adventurous kids may enjoy the colorful drinks and playful plating.
