The place has nice decor. I ordered one of the "up and coming wines that will be famous" , a tempranillo, but it was bad (like fungus, opened 3 days ago in a hot room bad) so I ordered a Kim Crawford Pinot Noir which was fresh. The food is decent, but not great here. The lobster flat bread was ok. I ordered the Rainbow Trout which was quite good. It was perfectly filleted, but slightly overcooked. The filet mignon and chicken were not as tasty as they could have been. The Caramalized Sea Scallops were tasty. The motif of the place is seasonal dishes. The food is like what one gets from a wedding country club, but not as good as the Crest Hollow.
They are lucky the food and concept is so good, because as a restaurant operation, they need a lot of help. Here was another situation where my wife and I felt like Jerry Seinfeld and Elaine at the Rental Car Counter describing to people how a reservation works. And from the idle time we had, sitting there watching the employees clear and set tables with literally ZERO hustle, it was pretty obvious why they got so behind. As people who have both worked in the restaurant industry in our youths, my wife and I were pretty annoyed at the slow pace.
Now, I'm going to make the assumption that in accordance with their concept of low-calorie yet delicious eating, the menu calorie counts were accurate. Hard to believe, given the size of my sushi grade salmon salad entrée, that it was about 350 calories. That, along with a 290 calorie potato leek soup, plus a beer, was enough to satisfy me for dinner. Pretty remarkable, given how easy it is to get fat while eating out. I thought the food was fresh and delicious, creative and modern. Jess got an appetizer Greek salad and the filet mignon, both were superb. Really hard to believe that she only had 420 calories on her plate. But they stay away from dumping tons of carbs and dairy in their dishes and I guess if you do that, you can keep calories in check.
We will go back but I don't know if we'll go again on a Saturday, given their poor handling of the crowds.

I dined at Seasons 52 with twelve members of my dining group on Friday, 6/10.This restaurant is in a large, hip and attractive space. The menu is extensive and it was, frankly, hard to choose what to order since so many options looked appealing.Dinner started with a very stiff and delicious Vodka Martini. It was a very generous sized drink with an additional amount left to pour in the canister. The very nice bartender, overhearing that I forgot my reading glasses, promptly loaned me a house pair.
The Maitre D' seated us promptly in a gratis private room with a curtain. I appreciated that immensely, as did my fellow diners, because the restaurant seems to be very popular and loud on Friday evenings. Our server was extremely pleasant and accommodating. The kitchen was rather slow, however.
I chose Crab Cakes as one of my starters. They were flavorful. I also shared one of the Flat Breads with another diner and sampled the Lobster Flatbread ordered by another diner. The Flat Breads here are excellent. I will order them again when I return. Other appetizers which drew favorable comment were the Stuffed Mushrooms and the Duck Lollipops.
I chose Rainbow Trout as my entree. It was fresh and tasty but a little overcooked and dry. Another diner had the same opinion. Other diners, however, mentioned that they really liked the Salmon dishes, both Wild Alaskan and Cedar Plank.Other entrees that members praised include the Filet Mignon, Short Ribs, Lamb Chops and Lobster Pappardelle. The latter dish looked amazing and I wished I had ordered it.
The restaurant features desserts which are small-portioned for the sake of waistlines but extremely reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse.
Our group enjoyed Seasons 52 thoroughly and we look forward to returning.
Our first visit to Seasons 52 was for a YEE a few months ago and resulted in our promise to return again soon to try the regular seasonal menu. We did this last Saturday and had an Open Table Rezzy for 9pm. By 9:20 we were seated in a booth where we could watch preparation in the kitchen…was just fine. As an Appy we ordered a Flatbread topped with Artichoke, Goat Cheese and Peppers & Onions….in theory sounded great. When it arrived there was literally no goat cheese on it. We advised our server Brianna of the problem and she graciously took it and we waited for a replacement. Well, we couldnt believe she brought the same Flatbread back with goat cheese sprinkled on top. It was reheated and came to us burnt to a crisp and inedible(not her fault). This may not sound like a big deal but we were hungry and now its been 45 minutes since we sat down and no food to eat yet.
I requested to speak to the chef whom I saw directing the kitchen and he was nice enough to come and speak to us. We showed him the problem and he said he did not see this happen and would not have permitted the reserving if he had.
He was very nice and in about 10 minutes we got a beautifully prepared Flatbread the way we expected it in the first place. Kudos to the Chef!
We were not sure what to expect with our entres but they were good choices and tasted terrific:
*Cedar Plank Salmon with potatoes and root veggies (carrots,beets & Asparagus spears)- EXCELLENT!
*Filet Mignon with mashies and Asparagus Spears- Tender prepared MR and delicious.
We were offered dessert and we got a couple of the little glasses with concentrated flavor! One was like Smores and the other Mocha….just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth but not kill the waistline! All in all, we had a great meal with one hiccup which we will excuse. The meal was otherwise delicious and service excellent…we will definitly return again.
This place is rather nice. The atmosphere is quite pleasant and the food that I have had has been tasty.
It has some really good features, like a low-calorie menu and a happy hour, which is great for small get-togethers. The array of appetizers is good and the bar is well-stocked.
Seasons 52 deserves at least 6 stars. Employees are friendly, and the service is impeccable. The food is outstanding as well.
Diana, our server greeted us immediately, offered us drinks, and was around to make sure our dining experience went smoothly without hovering. We started off with the Wood Grilled Artichokes appetizer. The artichokes were perfectly grilled and seasoned, and the remoulade sauce accented it's flavors.
For the entrée I had the Caramelized Grilled Sea Scallops. These are definitely the best scallops I've ever had. They were seared perfectly on the outside with a wonderful grilled and meaty texture on the inside. The sides that accompanied it: sweet corn risotto, snap peas, toybox tomatoes were also a perfect match.
My date ordered the seabass special. It was served with black rice. This dish was also outstanding.
We did allow Diana to show us the desserts and were very tempted to try some, but stuck with after dinner coffee. Perhaps next time…
Overall a wonderful dining experience.
Solid 3.5 stars. I kind of expected to be disappointed given its location in the mall but pleasantly surprised. This place serves a seasonal menu based on what is available locally. The majority of items are seafood based but that's a good thing.
The lobster flatbread was really tasty and a great meal starter. Cedar plank salmon was good and the side of heirloom carrots was also tasty. Portions are a bit smaller than other large chain restaurants but its in line with its healthy vibe. Good choice if you want something a bit healthier but be prepared to pay a bit more for it.
BAM! BAM! BAM! Three times for slam dunking every single morsel! Who knew?! Not me!
Let me rewind a few months back…..

I attended a YEE with my favorite side kick, my son. It was a Spring tasting. Beautiful private room with several food stations. Food was good but I wasn't blown away. The staff was outstanding. A raffle was won….$52 gift certificate, to me!
So here I am, in the area finally & I intend to feast accordingly.
I am greeted by a friendly professional young guy who takes me to my table. Kayla my waitress comes over & introduces herself. She explains the specials & asks if I have any questions. I peruse the menu & decide on the Watermelon Agua Fresca. It sounded refreshing & I think Darci had one & it looked good.
I start with the Duck Wing Lollipops. Meaty pieces of duck on the bone. If you know me, you know I LOVE my meat & fish bones intact! That's where all the flavor is people! They were moist yet crispy on the outside with a sweet salty glaze. Do yourself a favor & try them.
I finally decided on the Lobster Pappardelle. Maine Lobster sautéed with tomatoes, asparagus & peas in a light sherry cream sauce. The flavor was richly flavored but light. My only issue was the pappardelle. Although cooked al dente there were a lot of pieces glued together. You know when you cook pasta but don't stir it so it gums up together. Not good. But I took no stars off because everything else was top notch.
Last but definitely not least, dessert. Those delicious mini desserts! Words cannot describe how much flavor they pack into those little shot glasses. I got the Pecan Pie, Raspberry or was it Strawberry Cannoli, & Key Lime Pie. PERFECTION in a shot glass!
The whole time Kayla was very attentive without hovering. She attended my every need with a smile & genuine concern. She was a pleasure & my meal was outstanding.
So I ate like a Queen today….. For FREE!
Thanks Yelp & Seasons 52! I will be back again & again!
