We selected this restaurant for the quality of the food. It was our anniversary and we couldn’t have been more pleased. When seated, there was an anniversary card signed by multiple staff and then followed by a glass of champagne. We ordered delicious cocktails and tried some wonderful appetizers. The roasted artichokes with lemon hummus were especially tasty. The manager stopped by to see how we were enjoying everything so far. We ordered the filet mignon and a steak dinner entree which were both fantastic. Dessert was on the house. Our waiter, Wen, was very attentive and you should definitely ask for him if he’s available. This is one of the best in town and certainly my favorite. Thank you Seasons 52!

Great food and cocktails! We split the large Blackberry and Pecan salad between four of us and had plenty. We enjoyed our fries Brie app and each of us loved our entree. I had the Artichoke Ravioli which was amazing! It had the perfect blend of flavors with chicken, onion, and raisins in the sauce.

We had a wonderful 2 month wedding anniversary celebration. It’s hard to go on a date with a 7 year old, and our waitress did everything to make it extra special. We had such a blast!!!! Wonderful dining experiences.
