    My Girlfriend and I made reservations at Seasons 52 for Thanksgiving about 2 weeks in advance. I received an E-Mail immediately with My reservation confirmation. I also received a phone call the day before as a verification/reminder.. The place was very crowded but when we gave our confirmation info, we were seated within 6 minutes. It was VERY well organized and the staff was friendly. The food was delicious! Overall it was a pleasant experience!

    A stylish gem located in a strip mall. Drinks were imaginiative without being crazy, food was very good, except for the overcooked brussels sprouts. Staff were friendly and attentive.. Looks like a great place to hang out after the theater, if there were a theater nearby.
