The food is always so so good! That keeps us coming back. We are always a bit disappointed in service. Just small complaints like we were sat at the bar to wait for our table and the bar was dirty and we as never wiped down. The people next to us with a different waiter were sat about 30 min before us and received their food and drinks after us. They seem short staffed and disorganized. We have noticed this on busy and slow nights. Our server last night was great and we had no complaints.

My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience on Christmas Eve, 2024… Even with the busyness of a holiday night the service/food was quality.. Seasons 52 never seems to disappoint, our steaks and sea scallops were cooked to perfection They have a nice wine selection, we had the Crianza 2019 Rioja which paired amazing with our food choices… and don’t forget about their shot glass desserts, perfect small bites after a large meal… I had the pecan pie and my husband had the chocolate on chocolate cake .. Thank you seasons 52 for a wonderful date night holiday experience with my husband.
