seasons 52

a good option. my sister and i ate lunch atseasons52 today and thoroughly enjoyed it. the restaurant is gorgeous and the service was impeccable. we had the spicy pork taco flatbread and it was a great way to start our meal. the flatbread was super crispy, the pork was delicious and the spicy sauce had some real heat to it (not for the faint of heart). the chicken caesar sandwich was creamy and had an abundant amount of chicken on it. the buffalo burger was tender, and melt in your mouth good. the mini desserts were a good way to end our meal. we had the red velvet cake and the chocolate peanut butter and both were delicious.seasons52 is definitely for the lighter appetite, and costs a little more but offers tasty items not available elsewhere.

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 neverseasons52, 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.

as much as i try to deter from writing about major chains,seasons52 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 withseasons52'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 thatseasons52 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.

i like to go toseasons52 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 atseasons52.

pleasantly surprised at how much i enjoyedseasons52 - i usually avoid the chain places in town center, but attended a party here and truly enjoyed a delicious pork tenderloin, their well developed wine selection, and helpful wait staff. nice ambience and menu variety, combined with appropriate pricing, make this a place i would visit again.

awful service - bones found in fish. we have been toseasons52 three times. i am truly not sure why we keep returning. after our last visit, we will never be back. our service was terrible two out of the three times we visited. left with empty glasses, not checked on after we received our appetizers or entrees, etc. last visit my husband order the grouper which was their special and found a bone about an inch long that he bit into during the meal. our waiter did not offer to take it off our bill, give us any compensation, besides taking the meal away. i was left disgusted and angry and have since been telling everyone we know not to visit this restaurant. we have had so many better experiences dining out and if you're going to the town center, do not bother withseasons52!

i'm not sure i understand what was so terrible that you'll never go back? i love it there and have never had issue with any of the staff. they are pleasant and charming! and the food is amazing!

attended a shower this weekend atseasons52 in a beautiful private room. food was great!! service was outstanding!! i would recommendseasons52 for any party you are planning!

pleasantly surprised. we went there recently for a family occasion. i kept my anticpation low as far too many of the "trendy" places turn out to be vastly overrated.
not so withseasons52! this is a great place to eat and drink. the service is excellent as well. i came away with the feeling that no matter what you order here, you will be very satisfied. all of our appetisers, entrees, deserts and drinks were first class.

delish! fresh food and private dining.seasons52 is simply the best in jacksonville! it offers fresh food with an exquisite taste that is prepared in a wood-fired grill and served with artistic presentation. the use of hardwood, stone, plants and dim lighting compliment the organic theme creating a warm ambiance appropriate for any occasion.
my favorite is the caramelized sea scallops with asparagus and tomatoe mushroom pearl pasta. i have not been this impressed with such a perfect fusion of tastes since barton g in miami beach. the scallops were divine and the pearl pasta adds an actual pop to each taste. the flatbread is a must and ideal for lunch. i favor the garlic chicken and spicy chipotle shrimp. of course, you must try the dessert minis- the only way to keep true of "never an item on the menu more than 475 calories" is to be mini and cute is a bonus. of all the choices, my pick is the chocolate peanut butter mousse.

if work or play calls for private dining, look no further. the rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art audio visual equipment and all have window views that are easily transformed during presentations for optimal lighting. if you are an event planner, add 904.645.5252 to your speed dial and thank me later.

great concept!. we ate atseasons52 yesterday evening. this is the greatest concept that i have ever heard of....so simple, but yet so sophisticated.

in a nutshell: all menu items are under 420 calories. you feel like you are in a medium upscale restaurant with a clean and cool atmosphere, but you do not have to worry that they are feeling your food with empty calories.

the food is delicious. we had the chicken skewers and chilled tiger shrimp as appetizers. we mentioned the black bean chili and our waiter (who was the bartender since we did not have reservations) brought us two samples of the chili to sample. great up-sell and we ordered the soup as well. it was great and came with a dense whole grain breadstick to for dipping.

for our entrees we had the grilled trout and the pork tenderloin, but of which were tasty and moist.

what can i say, if you are in naples, this would be a great place to stop by, but mark my words, there will be a season 52 in every city in the country over the next ten years.

great place, awesome food.. i have to disagree with all the negative comments on this page, my husband and i love this place, the food is awesome and is far from being salty or over seasoned. people are used to eat over 3000 calories per plate and then go home and feel miserable about themselves, (thats why 1 on every 3rd american is over weight) instead every time i eat here i feel great, the portions are just perfect. im italian and i know good food with lots of flavors andseasonsdelivers that with the right amount of calories, you sure can't complaint about that :)

i was recently invited to a tasting of the new winter menu atseasons52 in the town center. i have visited one of the atlanta outposts of this chain before (see post here ) and really enjoyed their seasonal, low-cal food. the menu changes quarterly (hence "seasons") with a "chef's specials" menu that changes weekly (there's the "52″). we were provided with a number of this season's new appetizers, entree of our choice, and a selection of those wonderful dessert shooters (mini indulgences). since i've already done a review ofseasons52, i'll just give a play-by-play of this winter tasting. we started with a special scallop ceviche amuse, pei mussels (steamed in a zesty marinara sauce and served with grilled ciabatta), and tandoori chicken skewers (with mango chutney and cucumber herb raita): scallop ceviche pei mussels tandoori chicken skewers we also tried the maple leaf farms sesame duck chop salad ( not pictured , apples, mint, cranberries, butternut squash and toasted pecans) an

blown away! wonderful food, outstanding service. ive been coming in with my buddies from work since they have opened. everything had always been exceptional. we just went this past week and i was completely blown away by our server candace. we slipped in and sat at the bar tables without a host seating us and candace was right there to greet us. she asked us are name and small talked with us then asked if we had ever been toseasons52 before. i explained that all of us expect for on in our party had and she begin to tell us all about it as if we had never been there before. it seemed to just roll off her tongue. she encouraged us to try out some new specials and suggested some of her favorites. since we were on lunch i let her know we were kind of in a hurry and everything came out quick but yet we still had time to finish our appetizers and salads bfore all the food came out. i expected it to come all at once since we were in a hurry but it was spaced out in a timely manner. she checked back many times to make sure we were happy and she acted like we had know her for years. not only was the food delicious her service was impeccable.seasons52 is a great pace to eat and with service like we had with candice it made it that much better! outstanding!!!
