    You guys HAVE to try Ten Foot Henry! We had such an amazing dinner here - literally everything we tried was a hit. The tuna crudo was perfect, and don't sleep on their gochujang cauliflower (perfectly cooked, not mushy at all). The steak was just chef's kiss - they clearly use top-quality meat and know exactly how to cook it. But can we talk about that chicken? SO juicy with this incredible sauce that had us all swooning. The pastas were total winners too - both the cacio e pepe spaghetti and the gigli were delish. And okay, this might sound weird, but their CABBAGE dish was mind-blowing! Even my toddler couldn't get enough, which is saying something! Quick heads up for parents - while this isn't really a kid-focused spot (definitely no chicken fingers or coloring books here), we actually had a great time with our little one. Just come prepared with a backup plan for takeout if things get squirmy. The vibe is definitely more adult and it's usually packed, but our kiddo surprised us by loving everything! Make sure you save room for dessert - the cheesecake cream puffs were the perfect sweet ending. Only tiny downside is it gets pretty loud in there, so expect to raise your voice a bit across the table. But honestly? Totally worth it for food this good!

    The only disappointment for me is the lack of normal height tables. There was a set up for 8, one for 4 and a number of booths for 4. Our group of 6 had 2 higher tables put together…. For was great, service was wonderful. We were able to park underground and Canadian Brewhouse had the parking covered. Made for a very comfortable meal.

    We enjoyed the ambiance, great service, and delicious appetizers, entrees, and desserts during our recent dining experience. While we had not been to Seasons in quite some time, we were instantly reminded of the charm of this cozy restaurant and the memorable times we've shared here with our closest family and friends over the years. Thank you, Carla and the Seasons Team, for yet another memorable experience!
