We started the evening with drinks on the deck at sunset. Great views, with fire pits and heat lamps that make most tables comfortable even in winter. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent: solid service and delicious food - from starters to dessert.

From start to finish we had a delicious meal with the best martinis and eclectic and yummy food in a beautiful ambiance. The service was wonderful with a couple of calls made as we were late and throughout the meal the attention to detail and style. My husband and I always love Zinc and last night was perfect!

Boy, talk about a really unique experience!! At the front door, after we had our "password" validated, we were met by Micky with a baseball bat who made sure we knew what the houserules were. We were escorted to our table and prepared for a terrific dining experience. The food was expertly prepared and presented. It was a really enjoyable experience.

Marty is a fantastic waiter! I noticed all of the staff were really on top of things and friendly, on one of the craziest nights of the year no less. Season’s has really come a long way and is one of my favorite restaurants now. The chef and cooks are knocking it out of the park. Their ice cream is homemade and some of the best you’ll have.
