Contemporary Italian-American cuisine is the focus at Quattro, the ultramodern restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel Houston. After a recent makeover, the space now features lipstick-red, leather-upholstered walls and vibrant, jewel-toned stained-glass paneled walls. Despite the buzz at the bar, the dining room maintains a sense of calm, and the food remains a top priority. The kitchen focuses on local, seasonal ingredients and the food is as visually alluring as the space.
