I have so many amazing things to say about Seasons 52!! I have seen it in South Coast but have never gone. I finally went tonight after my sister recommend that we go and she had great things to say. I was not disappointed!! The cucumber basil smash cocktail was delicious and refreshing. Highly recommend for something more light but still super yummy and sweet! I was surprised when I looked at the menu because not only were the prices great, the whole menu is under 600 calories!!! I have never seen anything like this before. Especially not from a place that look so nice and fancy. The flatbread was amazing. I don't even like tomato's but these tomato's weren't sour at all and were juicy and delicious! The Mac and cheese was just perfect and light, and the truffle risotto had amazing flavor. I ordered the filet mignon and it was to die for. Shocking because the price was so good too. Everything about this place was so good I found my new lunch and dinner spot!! What I love about it is that I still feel like I am eating healthier than any other dinner place that I have been to because everything is low calories, fresh, and light. The dessert cups are AMAZING the Oreo was insane. Our waitress Jenelle was sooo sweet and very attentive. Service was quick even though she was very busy! Overall had such a great experience and I will be coming back soon!
Fantastic service throughout the evening. A few steaks were ordered around the table and the filet mignon was cooked perfectly for each. Don't think there's live music anymore, at least not during this visit, which was a bummer but still a very lively atmosphere. The stand out though was the Chilean sea bass and how tender it was. It falls apart really nicely. Only thing is the seating here can be a bit tight when the place gets crowded.
We came here tonight for the first time in a long time. We had a 6:30 reservation and we arrived a little early. We decided to go to the bartop to get a drink while we waited for the rest of our party. It took the bartender 15 minutes to greet us. As a former restaurant AGM, I was astounded. Once we finally got greeted and got a round of drinks our party arrived and we closed out and went to our table. The server was nice. I believe her name was Laura. Super informative about the food menu & offered suggestions. We shared the pepperoni flatbread; it was super light and tasty. You can tell the ingredients were fresh; of which we really appreciate. I had the sea-bass which was INCREDIBLE. it was super flaky and easy to eat. The shiitake mushrooms really complemented the dish. My husband had the pork chop of which he said was great. Besides the greet time at the bar the reason for the lack of a 5th star was that the bathrooms were honestly disgusting. It looked like they hadn't been cleaned or checked all day. There was tissue paper all over, water all over the floor and counter (which could really be a safety hazard), empty soap and empty toilet paper holders. I went in to use the restroom prior to our 40 minute drive home and I decided to hold it and wait.
Great place for group dinners with friends and family or a nice date night. SAL our server was awesome and attentive. The sea bass was delicious and highly recommend.
They had really yummy flatbread. I got the rotisserie chicken entree and it was very tender. I would get that again, even though I personally wasn't a big fan of the wild rice they have. I was a little disappointed by their Mac and cheese. We went on a night that was busy and seemingly understaffed. You get a little birthday card and dessert if you reserved for a birthday. I would come here again and mainly focus on their flatbread.
Came here for lunch after enjoying all the Christmas decorations in the mall. Fortunately we made reservations because there were a lot of company holiday luncheons. We line sitting in the bar area since it is a little quieter. We ordered the chicken pesto flatbread for an appetizer to start. The flatbread filled me up so I could barely finish my lunch. First time ordering their porkchop. I substituted the sweet red cabbage for green beans and everything was cooked to perfection. I did have to take most of my pork chop home as I was so full after the flatbread. Note to self. Don't order an appetizer if I want to finish my entree. We always enjoy our meals here at Seasons 52
Loved the expresso martinis! Wasn't a fan of the crab cake burger. The desserts and flat bread pizza was yummy! Patio area is chilly for this season and we came on an over cast day. Its very busy and would love to come back and try the inside.
We were able to get a table at Seasons 52 for Thanksgiving at the last minute after closely monitoring Open Table for a few days. The restaurant was jam packed. Hubby had the turkey dinner and he said it was good. They ran out of the sweet mashed potatoes and cauliflower from that menu. He didn't like that little pumpkin pie dessert glass that came with it. Said it didn't taste like pumpkin pie at all. I personally never like those little dessert glass there. Way too sweet for me. I had the salad farro with grilled chicken. It was disappointing. The chicken was too salty. 2/5 for this entree. Also ordered an extra skewer of scallops and that was good. My daughter had the salmon salad and it was good. I usually order this salad or the salmon on plank cedar but just had salmon earlier today so thought I'd get the chicken instead. Her husband had the beet salad and the lamb and he really liked it. Said the meat was really good. He also had the extra skewer of scallops and loved it. He also ordered the "pumpkin pie" dessert cup and didn't like it either. Service was good. Our server was nice and attentive.
