Seasons 52 is a comfortable and stylish fresh grill and wine bar offering a refreshingly balanced approach to dining where guests are free to enjoy, knowing any choice they make is one they'll feel good about. The menu changes with the season to feature ingredients at their peak, from whole produce that arrives and is kept 100% fresh, never frozen, to carefully sourced meats and pristine seafood. Entrées are oak-fire grilled or brick oven-roasted, without a fryer in sight, to be flavorful and naturally lighter, and the Wine Bar pours 52 world-class wines by glass and signature cocktails. Lunch and dinner daily, happy hour Monday - Thursday.

    We were able to sample some wine before purchasing a bottle. The waitperson was awesome. They were attentive but not loitering about. I look forward to a return visit!

    We went here for our anniversary. They confirmed our Anniversary when we sat down, and gave us some champagne on the house. Also, they gave us on the house dessert! The food is a variety, fresh and unique. Great for elevated casual eating experience.

    We love the trout and for me, since I have allergies, they prepare it perfectly for me. Ashley has waited on us a couple of times and she pays attention to detail She even remembered what my husband ordered the last time we were there.

    I've been to Season's 52 many times and I've always enjoyed it. It's my sister's favor place to eat. The produce is always fresh and delicious. Their meats and seafoods are also cooked to perfection. My nephew said it was the best lamb he's every had. I highly reccomend Season's 52 to eat at, whether it's for a special occasion or just a place to eat for lunch or dinner.

    As usual, excellent food and service but table assignment for this dinner was bothersome since we were stuck in a corner table and were told that other tables were reserved for other people but remained open during our entire stay. Receptionists at the front desk were not honest nor competent.

    We went there for Mother's Day, and the food and service were amazing. We were checked upon several times, and the manager even checked in with us. The prices were very reasonable and not skyrocketed for Mother's Day like some restaurants do. We had three separate dishes, and each one was delicious! Kudos Seasons 52!

    Excellent service from fantastic server who accommodated every request with great enthusiasm and very upbeat personality! First time here and really enjoyed everything. Caesar salad was one of the best with a delicious creamy seasoned dressing and generous amount of shaved Parmesan. We ordered it to share, and server kindly split in two separate bowls which were filled quite full. I ordered the salmon which was also a very large portion and served with green beans and wild rice pilaf with a mustard sauce on the side. Absolutely delicious!

    It is amazing every time, however our waiter (Robert E.) made our dining experience extra wonderful last night! The food was perfect and he went the extra mile to ensure our celebration was special. We had all we could ask for and then some. My family and I will always return to Seasons 52 for the excellent food and the outstanding service!

    Great spot for a business lunch. Good food and quiet enough to have a conversation. Weird they have gates in/out of the mall and need to have parking validated. Created a bottle neck turning left to get into the parking lot. That's just a friction point that would deter me from returning for this or any other venue at this location. Almost like they want to keep you out.

    Great balance of quality and value and the service was great! I know it’s a calorie conscious menu, but maybe having a few items outside of that realm would be nice. The pork chop was great but a ribeye would have been even better!
