Review Summary

Quatro Bistro receives mixed reviews, with strong praise for attentive service, fast staff, flavorful sauces and dishes that balance taste, presentation, and local influences; many diners commend the ambiance and the refined dining feel, while noting that prices can be high and portions small, especially for items like lomo saltado and ceviche. Some dishes are described as excellent and well executed, and the overall experience is viewed as a culinary highlight and a pleasant night out. However, reservations about using the restaurant for special occasions or large groups appear, citing stingy portions per person, promises about a DJ and a generous menu that were not kept, limited beverage options, no manager on site, and mediocre overall food for that particular event, which affects sustainability for group gatherings. Taken together, the restaurant showcases potential and many satisfying flavors, but price to portion value and consistency across events remain concerns that come up across reviews.View restaurant profile
