We chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday, hoping for a memorable evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations due to unprofessional service. The server seemed distracted and disengaged throughout the meal. When placing our order, the server repeatedly asked us to repeat dish names (at least 3 times) despite the menu being clearly listed. This lack of focus led to confusion and delayed the ordering process. It felt as though we were inconveniencing him rather than being valued guests. Further, the server informed us that cake cutting would cost $3 after he checked whether we’d like to have the cake served. While I understand some restaurants have policies for outside desserts (TBH we have never been charged the cake-cutting fee), this charge was never mentioned during reservation or specified on the menu. A birthday celebration should be joyful, but the combination of careless services left us frustrated. We won’t return for sure. Management should train staff to be more attentive and transparent about fees.

Absolutely phenomenal! We had heard rave reviews about Season to Taste from friends and finally had a chance to go. From our reception to seating at the chef's counter, we could not have enjoyed the food or company more. Chef Sam spent time explaining each dish, which was so intentional and thoughtful. We will be back for many seasons to come!

Food was original and creative without being silly. Also beautifully presented. Waitstaff was especially attentive to one diner's food allergy concerns.
