This is THE best steakhouse in Illinois. Stop nowhere else...it's all right here. We had the WR Chicago Cut - amazing and always cooked perfectly. It was a business dinner and they let us sit and chat uninterrupted. Love everyone here and the food.

I love to eat at Season 52. It is always good. And when there would be a little "hick up" you address the problem right away. We had an enjoyable time and the food and service was excellent. Thank you. Marianne Steenvoorden
