This is probably going to be my favorite place for happy hour. Drinks are strong, bartenders are extremely friendly, and it doesn’t get too loud. Perfect place to catch up with a friend. The $ 15 wine flight comes with 3 decent sized glasses, a large glass of your favorite wine, AND a flatbread that’s big enough for two people.

Came for a business dinner and it was okay. We had a group of 60 or so people split up between 7 tables I believe. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess and put upstairs in a private dining area, which I liked. We had a semi-set menu. Apps: At each table there were 2 different kinds of flatbreads(two of each): the roasted roma tomato(tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, parmesan) and the garlic pesto chicken(chicken, pesto, arugula, red peppers, balsamic onions, mozzarella). They both kinda tasted like a frozen pizza that you would get frozen from Trader Joe’s and think was really good for a frozen pizza from Trader Joe’s. In other words, they were tasty, but not when considering the price point and«fanciness» of the restaurant. I thought the roasted roma tomato was better because the pesto on the other didn’t taste entirely fresh. They also had a large salad out for us(the organic field greens– cucumbers, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, white balsamic vinaigrette) which I thought was totally fine, but again, I wasn’t exactly wowed. Between the four flatbreads and the huge salad there were way too many appetizers for my table of 7 people to finish. Probably at least half the salad and more than half of the flatbreads went to waste :( Mains: We had a choice between the vegetarian option(some vegetable tasting), the cedar plank grilled salmon(with potatoes), and the half chicken(along with asparagus, and mashed potatoes, au jus). I ordered the half chicken and some others at my table ordered the salmon. I didn’t get to see the vegetarian option so I can’t comment on it. My chicken came with two large pieces, one white and one dark. I actually thought my dish was really, really good. The potatoes were buttery and flavorful and the asparagus tasted fresh, although I would have preferred it a little crispier. The chicken was pretty good, although I thought the white meat was just a little dry. I didn’t try the salmon, but it looked okay. Two things that were really off-putting were that the server didn’t ask how people wanted their salmon cooked. Salmon, in my opinion, should be cooked to order. From what I could tell it looked like it was done medium well, which is a little over what I prefer. Also, the plating was irregular and sloppy with the salmon. One of my coworkers got a lemon and the rest didn’t, which was strange. I understand things are tough with big groups but the expo should really be checking for stuff missing from plates. Dessert: We had a selection of little desserts in glasses. I tried the pecan pie, which was SOGOOD. They all looked beautiful, too. I also liked how they were tiny, just giving a little sweet taste at the end rather than being some super decadent and rich dessert. My review really falls apart at the service, which was just sloppy and unprofessional. The servers did not wait for everyone to arrive before they started taking orders. One of the managers at my table arrived just a few minutes late and he had barely sat down when the server ran over and rushed him to decide what he wanted. Not surprisingly, seat numbers were all messed up and there was some confusion at my table and the person to my right was entrée-less until we alerted the server. They just totally skipped him. Service was also a little slow with refilling waters. Hopefully, the poor service was just a reflection of people getting flustered at a large party. That being said, there were some mistakes that are inexcusable. I would’t go out of my way to return, but if I had plans with a friend who wanted to go there, I wouldn’t necessarily dread my evening, either.

RECOMMENDED I dined at Seasons 52 with twelve members of my dining group on Friday, 6/10.This restaurant is in a large, hip and attractive space. The menu is extensive and it was, frankly, hard to choose what to order since so many options looked appealing. Dinner started with a very stiff and delicious Vodka Martini. It was a very generous sized drink with an additional amount left to pour in the canister. The very nice bartender, overhearing that I forgot my reading glasses, promptly loaned me a house pair. The Maitre D’ seated us promptly in a gratis private room with a curtain. I appreciated that immensely, as did my fellow diners, because the restaurant seems to be very popular and loud on Friday evenings. Our server was extremely pleasant and accommodating. The kitchen was rather slow, however. I chose Crab Cakes as one of my starters. They were flavorful. I also shared one of the Flat Breads with another diner and sampled the Lobster Flatbread ordered by another diner. The Flat Breads here are excellent. I will order them again when I return. Other appetizers which drew favorable comment were the Stuffed Mushrooms and the Duck Lollipops. I chose Rainbow Trout as my entrée. It was fresh and tasty but a little overcooked and dry. Another diner had the same opinion. Other diners, however, mentioned that they really liked the Salmon dishes, both Wild Alaskan and Cedar Plank. Other entrees that members praised include the Filet Mignon, Short Ribs, Lamb Chops and Lobster Pappardelle. The latter dish looked amazing and I wished I had ordered it. The restaurant features desserts which are small-portioned for the sake of waistlines but extremely reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse. Our group enjoyed Seasons 52 thoroughly and we look forward to returning.

I came here for Mother’s Day! Despite the busyness our food came out on time and the waiter was very attentive. I’ve been here half a dozen times and the food is always consistently delicious. I had the Chilean sea bass and a flatbread. My parents shared a steak and shrimp and grill which they loved. Love the dessert in shot glass.

The place has nice décor. I ordered one of the«up and coming wines that will be famous», a tempranillo, but it was bad(like fungus, opened 3 days ago in a hot room bad) so I ordered a Kim Crawford Pinot Noir which was fresh. The food is decent, but not great here. The lobster flat bread was ok. I ordered the Rainbow Trout which was quite good. It was perfectly filleted, but slightly overcooked. The filet mignon and chicken were not as tasty as they could have been. The Caramalized Sea Scallops were tasty. The motif of the place is seasonal dishes. The food is like what one gets from a wedding country club, but not as good as the Crest Hollow.

It’s a pass. My first time here. And probably my last Went here for a corporate dinner. It was a group of ten of us on a weekday night. 6 pm reservations. Had a table in the back room. Must have been a new waiter because service left plenty to be desired The apps that were ordered were a few different flat breads, nothing spectacular. Your typical flat breads that you can get at any chain restaurant. Also had that duck lollipops — drench is way too much sticky sweet sauce. Most people seems to order the rack of lamb and I did not hear any complaints. I ordered the roast pork with a side of scallops. Thank god I ordered that scallops, because the roast pork was dry and way over done. The scallops were ok, but compared to the pork, they tasted fantastic(only when comparing to the pork) As far as the service, whenever the waiter brought a round of drinks to the table, he never took the empty glasses or bottles from the table. By the time the entrees came to the table, the table was full of empty glasses, beer bottles, appetizer plates, etc. It was quite a mess. And then the strangest thing I have ever seen in any restaurant happened — the dessert tower!!! The waiter brought over a huge tower of mini desserts in shot glasses, probably 20 or 30 desserts on the towering rack. The waiter took his time to describe to the table each and every variety on the rack. Then the waiter put the rack on the table, took a photo of the table and the rack was passed from one end of the table to the other, with each dinner taking on dessert from the rack. When the tower and the remaining desserts got to the other end of the table, as each dinner was savoring their quite tasty creamy flavorful sweet item, the waiter grabbed the tower and the remaining 15 to 20 scrumptious items and disappeared!!! WTF!!! Was it supposed to be only 1 dessert per customer? Are they going to resell the other desserts which had been passed from one end of the table to the other to other customers after they been handled. Or was the staff going to eat the rest in the kitchen? Very strange.

Came here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised… The restaurant is basically in the Roosevelt field mall complex right next to Lux restaurant. when I entered, I thought the place was nicely decorated and spacious. The cool thing about this restaurant is that it has 52 different menus as it changes every week! I thought he lunch was great– I ordered the mahi mahi fish tacos that came with a huge plate of salad(and many other side options to choose from other than the salad)…which is the restaurant’s lunch special more or less– was very reasonably priced at just less than $ 12!!! I thought the quality of the food was great and also tasted great– would definitely come by again! And the service was also great– the desserts were also delish!!!

Solid 3.5 stars. I kind of expected to be disappointed given its location in the mall but pleasantly surprised. This place serves a seasonal menu based on what is available locally. The majority of items are seafood based but that’s a good thing. The lobster flatbread was really tasty and a great meal starter. Cedar plank salmon was good and the side of heirloom carrots was also tasty. Portions are a bit smaller than other large chain restaurants but its in line with its healthy vibe. Good choice if you want something a bit healthier but be prepared to pay a bit more for it.

They are lucky the food and concept is so good, because as a restaurant operation, they need a lot of help. Here was another situation where my wife and I felt like Jerry Seinfeld and Elaine at the Rental Car Counter describing to people how a reservation works. And from the idle time we had, sitting there watching the employees clear and set tables with literally ZERO hustle, it was pretty obvious why they got so behind. As people who have both worked in the restaurant industry in our youths, my wife and I were pretty annoyed at the slow pace. Now, I’m going to make the assumption that in accordance with their concept of low-calorie yet delicious eating, the menu calorie counts were accurate. Hard to believe, given the size of my sushi grade salmon salad entrée, that it was about 350 calories. That, along with a 290 calorie potato leek soup, plus a beer, was enough to satisfy me for dinner. Pretty remarkable, given how easy it is to get fat while eating out. I thought the food was fresh and delicious, creative and modern. Jess got an appetizer Greek salad and the filet mignon, both were superb. Really hard to believe that she only had 420 calories on her plate. But they stay away from dumping tons of carbs and dairy in their dishes and I guess if you do that, you can keep calories in check. We will go back but I don’t know if we’ll go again on a Saturday, given their poor handling of the crowds.

Our first visit to Seasons 52 was for a YEE a few months ago and resulted in our promise to return again soon to try the regular seasonal menu. We did this last Saturday and had an Open Table Rezzy for 9pm. By 9:20 we were seated in a booth where we could watch preparation in the kitchen… was just fine. As an Appy we ordered a Flatbread topped with Artichoke, Goat Cheese and Peppers & Onions… in theory sounded great. When it arrived there was literally no goat cheese on it. We advised our server Brianna of the problem and she graciously took it and we waited for a replacement. Well, we couldnt believe she brought the same Flatbread back with goat cheese sprinkled on top. It was reheated and came to us burnt to a crisp and inedible(not her fault). This may not sound like a big deal but we were hungry and now its been 45 minutes since we sat down and no food to eat yet. I requested to speak to the chef whom I saw directing the kitchen and he was nice enough to come and speak to us. We showed him the problem and he said he did not see this happen and would not have permitted the reserving if he had. He was very nice and in about 10 minutes we got a beautifully prepared Flatbread the way we expected it in the first place. Kudos to the Chef! We were not sure what to expect with our entres but they were good choices and tasted terrific: *Cedar Plank Salmon with potatoes and root veggies(carrots, beets & Asparagus spears) — EXCELLENT! *Filet Mignon with mashies and Asparagus Spears– Tender prepared MR and delicious. We were offered dessert and we got a couple of the little glasses with concentrated flavor! One was like Smores and the other Mocha… just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth but not kill the waistline! All in all, we had a great meal with one hiccup which we will excuse. The meal was otherwise delicious and service excellent… we will definitly return again.

I’ve been here for lunch/dinner in the past and everything was fine. But this past Mother’s Day we made a reservation for brunch at 10am and it was horrible. The coffee was so light it looked like ice tea, they didn’t have sugar, the menu really had nothing for breakfast — they gave us the dinner menu when we sat down –at 10 am. I ordered the eggs Benedict which they served to me without bread, my dad never even got his meal until it was time to get up from the table, oh yeah and did I mention– the food was horrible! I won’t diss this place for lunch or dinner because I like it, but my brunch experience was the worst ever and they need to fix that problem.

Came to Seasons for a post Long Island Marathon lunch. The staff from the manager, hostess and server are professional, courteous and friendly. I had a short rib sandwich which was ok. It was a Flatbread sandwich which suppose to have aged cheddar but I couldn’t taste it. It came with a chocie of side and I had the potatoes leek soup. Soup was very tasty but a little bit too salty. Flatbread pizza is a specialty and they are pretty good. It has a nice crisp and fresh ingredients. Seasons also serves a small sampler deserts which are great if you’re worried about over indulging. Will come back one day to try dinner.

Love Seasons 52! It’s nice inside, they have valet parking in case you can’t find a spot on your own, you can enjoy a night out at a restaurant and still eat healthy and low calories, and even have an alcoholic beverage or two if you choose! Spinach salad: Big salad! Delicious balsamic dressing, strawberries, toasted pine nuts, peas, Gorgonzola cheese, 250 calories. Delicious! Cedar plank roasted salmon: With roasted veggies(carrots, crushed potatoes, asparagus), dill mustard sauce, grilled lemon. Definitely needs the sauce but overall very good! Perfect portion. Fresh, crispy vegetables, salmon was cooked perfectly. 440 calories. Wood grilled filet mignon: With roasted mushrooms, red wine sauce, Yukon gold mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus. My friend enjoyed this dish and especially enjoyed the red wine sauce! She couldn’t get enough of it. 420 calories.(She skipped the potatoes and added spinach) Our server was attentive and friendly, overall we had a great experience. I made a reservation through their website. Plan ahead because they get booked up fast! We will definitely be back!

Yes! This place is exactly what the world needs. Just knowing that the menu options are all under 500 calories or so is so reassuring. They have tons of options, and less guilt when you eat them all! We shared a flatbread to start(yum!!) and I had the vegetarian offering for dinner. Let me tell you, that vegetarian dish totally rules. It gives you a sampling of many of their vegetarian dishes without having to commit to just one. It was delicious and filling — without being extremely expensive! Don’t leave without one of their mini desserts — the smores one and the chocolate peanut butter one were both to die for. How many calories do you think there would be in 20 of those? Can’t wait to come back!

Seasons 52 unfortunately had the task of putting up with my large Filipino family last night as we celebrated my dad’s 50th birthday. First of all, my parents don’t know how to keep a reservation. They booked a reservation for about 20 people for 830, and showed up 15 – 20 minutes late. The hostess was very gracious despite the lateness, and we were escorted to a back room, which I didn’t even know they had. Some quick notes: Asian chicken skewers were the hit of the table. Hawaiian pineapple cosmos are deadly. My medium steak came out more medium well and I was not a fan of the balsalmic glaze(made it sour). I’ve definitely had better hummus. The flat breads were ah-mazing. The mini desserts were addicting! I had the pecan one and the carrot cake… death to my waistline. My mom got drunk on one drink. Must have been entertaining for them. WHYDOESNOONEKNOWHOWTOFLUSH A TOILET?! Not the restaurant’s fault, I’m sure. Our waitress was amazing, and we did not feel rushed at all despite making the restaurant stay open for another hour because of us. I will definitely venture here again for a date night, will leave my crazy embarrassing fam at home.

Located next to Roosevelt field mall, adjacent to Houston’s and next-door to The Capital Grille. This fine dining establishment has a lot of eats to offer. I’ve been here twice; first time with my family and better half, second time was just myself and my love. We returned with a $ 50 gift certificate that I received for Christmas. On my first visit it was nothing short of fabulous; the food was delicious and the customer service was on point. They do however ask you before you order if you’re on a time limit. I guess that’s to tell the chefs to move it along. Who knows I didn’t ask why? Anyways! I ordered the Roasted Roma Tomato Flatbread– fresh mozzarella cheese Parmesan, ribbons of basil $ 9.89 Grilled Chicken Caprese Sandwich– fresh mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, basil pesto, sprouted-grain ciabatta $ 10.2 On my second visit I ordered The short rib flatbread– no longer on menu(See picture) Baby Kale Caesar Salad– shaved Parmesan cheese, roasted garlic ciabatta croutons $ 9 On my first visit, after our entrée our server came around with tray of desserts in cute little shot-size glasses. Each dessert was described to us and we each picked one out thinking«oh, isn’t that a sweet gesture free dessert.» Oh no it wasn’t a sweet gesture on behalf of seasons 52; there was an additional charge for them when we reviewed our bill. So on my second visit when dessert came: Haha I was smarter this time, I already knew that there would be an additional charge; one dessert it was. Either way everything was outstanding I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Really enjoyed lunch here. My waiter sensed our time constraint and tried his best to make sure we were in and out. Had the lobster n shrimp mushroom appetizer which was to die for. My lunch choice was the mahi mahi tacos which I wasn’t a huge fan of but all in all I would definitely come back and maybe with family or on a date next time.

Great place for a birthday celebration! Had a wonderful meal here with 4 other girlfriends and was totally delighted to see the caloric count on the menu. The flatbreads were delicious as were the other appetizers of Ravioli in Brown Butter and the Lump Crab Roasted Shrimp Mushrooms. They also had a great selection of seasonal cocktails to choose from, but my only upset was that my main course was a bit flat in flavor. I ordered the Lemon and Herb Roasted Branzino and it lacked in flavor for me, like something I could have made at home. Everyone else was thrilled with their dishes, like the scallops so at least that was a win. The best part of the meal though was the multi tiered dessert cups that are presented at the table. All various flavors, like tiramisu and chocolate peanut butter cup, etc. We each tried two a piece and indulged! SOYUMMY!

I had such a great event at Seasons 52 the other night, I still can’t believe what a good time was had by all. Seasons 52 has rooms for parties and special events, I was privileged to go a wine event in a sectioned and secluded room outside of the main dining room. From the food to the wait staff, everything was top notch. Thank you again Seasons 52!

I came here for a reunion with a group of friends. I got the vegetarian tacos(minus the cheese), they were ok, but not really seasoned well to be tasty. My fiancé also ordered off the vegan menu and got the cedar plank roasted tofu with potatoes and spinach, I tried some and the tofu had a nice smokey taste to it, but I still would have liked more seasoning. my other complaint is that their special menus(vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free) don’t have prices listed on them, so we had to ask our server. Most of the things on the vegan menu ended up being cheaper than things on the normal menu which was a plus, but we still had to pay the same price for a flat-bread we ordered without cheese, it would’ve been nice if their menu would allow for subbing more veggies in place of cheese while not charging us more(though to be fair we didn’t ask our server about this). I probably wouldn’t choose to come back here on my own(though I would go with a group). I really appreciate that they have a vegan menu but they need to improve what’s on it.
