Most luxury-resort restaurants are casual the way a tuxedo T-shirt is casual. Proof, the Four Seasons Troon North’s canteen, actually means it: wide-plank floors, a garage door onto the patio, and house-smoked meats with Pinnacle Peak filling the window. Troon North locals eat here without ever checking in.
The pretzel knots with mustard and spicy cheese sauce have survived every chef change since 2012, which tells you what you need to know. Follow them with the smoked prime rib.
When to go: dinner in season needs a reservation, ideally a later seating while the rock turns copper. Brunch is the easier walk-in.
