I love dinner at Seasons 52. The food is delicious, the service is great and the price is fair. Importantly, I can eat a lovely meal that has a reasonably low calorie count!! I wish there were a few dessert option that were low calorie too. Why would I eat a 500 calorie entree - and then have a 500 calorie dessert?
