    As usual, a great meal thoughtfully prepared. The Valentine’s Day menu included 3 shared appetizers, a choice of 3 entrees and a choice of 2 desserts. The food is always creative and interesting- not the standard boring fare at other places. Service was attentive even though they were very busy. Always at the top of our list.

    Seasons52 always seems to please, whichever one we have chosen to visit (Massachusetts, Florida, California). On a busy Friday afternoon, we were seated promptly. Despite the crowds, staff were attentive, warm and welcoming. Noise level was not a problem and the pleasant atmosphere adds to the experience . We came here because the food is always good and there is a decent variety of dishes at reasonable prices . Good selection of wines, too. So much to choose from, but the shrimp and grits always hits the spot . While there are many good restaurants in the area, this one is always a safe bet.
