seasons 52

earlier this week i attended a spring menu tasting at season's 52 with my girl, krystle and let me start by saying. i love when restaurants switch up their menus with the seasons.  change is good and this spring menu did not disappoint! . for starters we mingled with other guests while enjoying a few cocktails and venezuelan wines.

seasons 52 just rolled out their spring menu, so i was excited to get an invite to try some of the items before it launched on march 22. when we arrived we were led into one of their private rooms in the back. it was a cocktail hour of sorts, where we were treated to some of their specialty cocktails and wines.

after completing some serious retail therapy, it was time for dinner and i was ready.  there is an abundance of choices at the town center from fast food, to fine dining, i have pretty much tried most of the spots, but never seasons 52, so tonight was my night.  i booked a table on the way, so when i arrived, my only wait was the few couples at the hostess desk.

our party of six was seated promptly. we had the lobster flatbread appetizer & stuffed mushrooms, both good. salads were fresh and beautiful, without being covered with dressing. dinner entrees included the filet, the cedar salmon, the seared scallops. all were excellent with few leftovers. desserts were yummy, and the services was excellent. we'll go back when we can.

as much as i try to deter from writing about major chains, seasons 52 gets it. with a few previous visits of a tad bit shoddy service, it's time that i take account of a great experience i had here at lunch.

the place was jampacked, thanks to fellow lunch business comrades, but there was plenty o' parking, and a seat that had our names on it within five minutes. we utilized our wait time wisely by taking pictures by the gas fire installation.

we were seated in the bar area, and our server was super pleasant - genuinely pleasant. he made a few drink suggestions, and my choice was the ginger agave soda. pleasantly surprising, and it's nice to get a smile back from the server which means total confirmation that i made the right and unique choice. this drink was served with slices of ginger on top and was reminiscent of a ginger beer, but light and definitely refreshing for a soda. i've been trying to stay away from processed sugar and hate the chemical substitutes, so i was happy to get my sugar kick from the agave. it's not for everyone, but having that little spice heightens whatever you eat, or it just stands all by itself like a little drink trophy with a reward inside.

i'm in love with seasons 52's menu. they always have a plethora of choices that appeal to everyone. i could have made a ton of choices without any guilt, and we all know that everything's under 500 calories. we shared a stuffed mushroom appetizer that had a creamy spinach filling topped with a sizeable piece of shrimp. it was served on a plate and cooked on that same plate which had separate compartments, so it was almost like digging for each nugget of gold. this, too, was a popular item on their menu, and if i wasn't sharing, it would have been easy to eat all six pieces and call it a day.

as for my lunch entree, i had a beautiful whole piece of rainbow trout that was served with heirloom carrots and small potatoes. it also had a grilled lemon and some type of creamy sauce to accompany the trout. i threw on some lemon, but the rainbow trout cooked with some great spices sang all by its lonesome self. that was a meal for a king and absolutely no guilt on the plate.

the service was impeccable. we were served timely refills, and were taken care of throughout the course of our time there. knowing that we were in business attire, they were respectful of our time as well. all in all, this proved to be a great experience through and through.

chain or no chain, it's nice to go to a place to if you like more of a dark and intimate environment amongst a lot of people coming in and out in droves. i thoroughly enjoyed my meal, my company, and my time there. it would be highly recommended to make a reservation in season....and that goes across the board with any place with high traffic. happy guilt-free dining!

i was told by a friend that seasons 52 was named 52 because they would have a new menu every week. i thought that was crazy, but super inventive and i went 2 times in one month and it was the same menu from the previous dinner so i'm guessing she was either wrong or the just kept it seasonal to help with simplicity for the employees which is okay for me. the interior is very classy and if you like lemon you'll love this place because every entrée, i believe, comes with a grilled or charred lemon to freshly squeeze over your entrée. for "oh so" many calories, this place is impressive, but i went on a night where they were playing live music and the entertainer almost ruined a lot of classic songs for me. i couldn't wait to get out of that restaurant that night, but it's perfect for health fanatics who can't eat at a single restaurant because of the crazy calories at other restaurants.

love their fresh seasonal menu. they always have plenty of fresh vegetables, seafood and grilled lamb chops and steaks on the menu. all their menu items are lower in calories than the norm. i love their shot glass desserts. when eating there, i always have room for dessert!

i like to go to seasons 52 for lunch breaks. you know everything on the menu is under a crazy amount of calories and still tastes good. also on some nights the have a piano player, but you should call and check when first bc it changes around sometimes.

the atmosphere was delightful, with live music of classic songs not too loud to overpower table conversation. the inside is dark and intimate but comfortable .our waiter was outstanding and so kind. he recommended the dishes we ordered and always came back to check in on us. it was our friend's birthday and our waiter brought out a full dessert and covered the cost on him! customer service from our waiter morgan made our visit all the better. the food although pricey was well worth it . i had the filet mignon and as our waiter said it was definitely the best dish on the menu. cooked to perfection. the shrimp and grits were also an impressive dish. i would recommend this restaurant to anyone as it turned out to be a fun relaxing night at seasons 52.

overpriced. left hungry. food was ok but not great. service was ok not great. made reservation and told them we were there to celebrate a birthday. we received a "happy birthday" from the waiter after we paid the bill. over $100 and they can't comp a dessert? would i go back? no

wonderful..so tender, so tasty, so fabulous!. my husband and i had the fiket mingion and it was beyond good-

food is good but not exceptional. small portions for the price you pay.

very good restaurant.. this is another chain place, which almost doesn't feel like one. great food, atmosphere, service. amazing appetizers. great for date or casual meal. i like their seasonal menu changes. this place is big but during hot season you may not be able to get a table instantly around dinner time.

amazing appetizers. what an amazing array of appetizers! the flat breads are delicious, and are a must try! this was my first visit here and it exceeded my expectations. very good desserts to top it off. i will be returning.

hostess wasn't hospitable. loved the food, but did not feel welcome. on a quiet sunday afternoon, when the restaurant was nearly empty, we were told there would be a "few minute" wait. nearly 10 minutes later, we heard the blond hostess tell several more customers that it would be a 10-20-minute wait. they did not stay. did i mention that the restaurant was nearly empty? we finally asked to be seated at the bar. the food was fresh, innovative and lovely, but the dining experience starts at the front door. such a classy establishment should have equally welcoming employees, especially on slow days.
