First time at this location and we were impressed by the size of dining areas and the bar. Service was outstanding and the Sea-bass was delicious. We shared a bottle of house red wine and the chocolate fudge cake for dessert. Highly recommend this location and we will be back. Parking is a challenge so plan for extra time to look for parking.

Marty is a fantastic waiter! I noticed all of the staff were really on top of things and friendly, on one of the craziest nights of the year no less. Season’s has really come a long way and is one of my favorite restaurants now. The chef and cooks are knocking it out of the park. Their ice cream is homemade and some of the best you’ll have.
