We just completed the most amazing holiday meal at Seasons 52 - Chestnut Hill. From our welcome experience when we arrived, to our departure- absolutely everything was exceptional. We waited at the bar and ordered drinks ( the barter who concocted the drinks was definitely on point) and appetizers while our table was being readied. Our other wonderful bartender made certain that our appetizers arrived at our table, after we had left the bar. Kya - our waitress- was unbelievably fantastic. We wish that we could name them all. I can’t say enough about the seamless customer care and superb service that we enjoyed from this team this evening. Thank you Seasons 52 for your commitment to excellence. We are grateful!

Capital Grille just does it right. You feel welcome when you walk in the door. Everyone is trying to make your entire experience excellent. We went for Thanksgiving. The turkey dinner special was everything you want foe Thanksgiving. Moist, tasty turkey, stuffing, green beans, a cranberry chutney, and mashed potatoes for the table because they wouldn’t fit on the plate. They had the regular menu too so you weren’t tied to the turkey dinner special. Nice ambiance. Bustling but not loud. Our server was friendly and attentive. He was always looking for ways to make our visit better.
