My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience on Christmas Eve, 2024… Even with the busyness of a holiday night the service/food was quality.. Seasons 52 never seems to disappoint, our steaks and sea scallops were cooked to perfection They have a nice wine selection, we had the Crianza 2019 Rioja which paired amazing with our food choices… and don’t forget about their shot glass desserts, perfect small bites after a large meal… I had the pecan pie and my husband had the chocolate on chocolate cake .. Thank you seasons 52 for a wonderful date night holiday experience with my husband.

Always such a good time. Great atmosphere, great food and great drinks. My husband recently found out he’s gluten intolerant and they have a lot of gluten free options noted on the menu. Our server was great at answering any questions we had. The “D” Cup cocktail was yummy and definitely would get again. We tried the steak tartare and a couple rolls to start and all were fantastic. Too many good entrees to list that we like but you can’t go wrong with any. This is a restaurant we will continue to visit every year over Christmas when in town!

I love the food at True Food! Today our server, Mark, was wonderful--attentive but not hovering! Allowed us to have a great conversation with delicious food and not feel rushed to leave the table.
