Seasons 52

Our group (about 16 people) went there for dinner after an all day meeting. The food was not bad. However, one policy that I learned at this location of season’s 52 was they do not serve you water unless you requested as the restaurant is promoting certain «sustainability» bs which the server didn’t care to complete his sentence and kept walking while explaining. My coworker ordered water and I was surprised that the server did not bring water for everyone as everyone at the table ordered drinks. Once I finally spotted the server, I requested the water all around and he told me that they were doing this sustainability thing. Blah. blah and didn’t quite finish the sentence… I ended my request with «everyone is drinking so they will all need water…» As I recalled, I only saw he brought out 6 – 8 glasses of water… Smh

I made a reservation for our 42^nd anniversary. Other than a written note from the restaurant and a congrats from the server, that was it. The large birthday party seated next to us received complimentary champagne to toast the birthday girl. We got nothing. Other restaurants that we’ve chosen to celebrate our anniversary have made it very special for us. Complimentary dessert, flowers and table decorations. Food was ok. I do appreciate the small dessert shooters – great size for just the right amount of sweetness after dinner. Just left with a sour taste because the restaurant obviously prefers to honor birthdays over anniversaries.

Seasons 52 is an upscale restaurant. The fancy features extend from the external architecture to the internal space where it was quiet and muted despite being busy, to a seasonally rotating menu. I was impressed with the place and the friend that I was meeting here was similarly impressed.
A pretty solid wine list but the prices on there were far from cheap. And the list of available beers was also pretty good. I had a beer and my friend opted for a glass of wine.
We got two flatbreads and shared them between us. A very good portion, it’s almost a mini pizza. Already cut and with plenty of flavorful toppings, I’d give a strong Bruce K. recommendation that you get a flatbread to steart your meal.
For mains, understand that the portions are not that large. I chose the grilled scallops and six were on my plate on top of a tasty risotto and some grilled asparagus. Very tasty but far from a full meal by itself. With the flatbread already in my tummy, this was plenty.
Very good service from our waiter. The food came out at appropriate intervals and we didn’t feel rushed at all. It’s a nice restaurant that is more than suitable for a date, for a small gathering or for a business meeting where you’re looking to impress. Well done, Seasons 52.

Went here for a second time; had Chilean sea bass and shrimp and grits. Everything was amazing! Our server Erick was great! Highly recommend this place!

Absolutely FAB!!! Happy Hour Food Wonderful, Red Wine Flight, Strawberry Basil Infusion with Reyka Vodka GREAT!!!

Service was sub par, we ate at the Tyson’s 52 and had a great experience. To be blunt, poor poor poor. Even after contacting the manager things were still slow and poorly done. Must have been an off nite. Paul you have to do better. On line reservation was easy and the welcome was done well. I am not sure I will try this location again. Just went over the check, they lied, no complimentary drink to make up for the worst service experience I have had in a restaurant in Columbia. Never again

I noticed that other Unilocaler’s encouraged reservations, so I made a reservation for 2 on a Friday evening. I am glad that I did because this place was pretty packed! Although we had the reservation, we still had to wait a few minutes for our table to «be ready». Two other couples came in behind us with reservations and were told the same thing.
First off, love the live music at the bar! The lady playing the piano and singing definitely set the mood and created a lovely dining experience. We were seated right in front of the kitchen, which was pretty cool. You can see into the kitchen through a glass partition and watch as the food is being made. It also gave me an idea of what I wanted to try, especially since it was my first time dining here.
Our server, Kate, was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. She asked if it was our first time, and we told her that it was. She took the time to go over the seasonal concept of the menu and offered great suggestions for food and drinks. Since it has been unbearably hot outside, I decided to try the Prairie Mule because I knew it would be ice cold and refreshing. My husband ordered the New Old Fashioned. Both drinks were delicious! The New Old Fashioned was topped with a sugar swizzle stick, cherry, and orange slice– AMAZING! I could probably drink a couple of those!
Food– The Flatbreads looked amazing coming out of the kitchen, so we decided to try the Artichoke and Goat Cheese Flatbread. It was topped with artichoke, goat cheese, onion, spinach and roasted red pepper. It was not as visually appealing as some of the other flatbreads and I would probably order a different one next time. It wasn’t terrible, just okay. My husband was insistent that we try the Blistered Shishito Peppers, topped with feta, roasted corn, and lemon aioli. Again, they were good but I would probably order something different next time. We split the Boneless Beef Short Rib entrée with cheddar grits, roasted carrots, and horseradish crema. This was pretty tasty! The grits were so creamy and melted in my mouth. The horseradish was a nice accompaniment to the short rib. Of course, they entice you with dessert by bringing the whole tray to the table. The Mocha Macchiato was right up my alley. The taste was reminiscent of Tiramisu. My husband enjoyed his Key Lime dessert, although I preferred the meringue on top to the actual key lime and crust part.
Two downsides to the evening– there is complimentary Valet parking with validation and I did not know this until I already circled the massive parking lot for a spot a few times. Also, we were seated right next to the waiter station where they put the orders in the computer and essentially gossip. It kind of threw off our dining experience to hear them constantly chit chat and complain about guests or personal problems. One example was «I just sat a reservation for 2 and 4 people showed up…» followed by a few choice words. Ehhh. kind of a turn off when you know these people are about to be your money maker.
Overall, I’ll probably come back next season to try some new things and maybe sit in the bar or outside for a different dining experience.

Very impressed.
Service was EXCELLENT.
I’ll start in a backwards order…
The desert was OMGGGGG AMAZING! $ 3 shooters… and I tried three of them… and they were SOOOO TASTY. We contemplated on purchasing all of them and trying them all but we decided not to be greedy.
The lamb lollipops were delishhhh.
Steak– cooked perfectly.
Shisito peppers were tasty.
I will be back to try more things on the menu.

The food was so good! And it seems like everything in the menu is pretty healthy, a lot of salad options. Our waitress was extremely nice and friendly. I went there for my bday dinner with my family

Tried the wine flight, and the sauvignon blanc in the white wine flight was one of my favorites of the night.
I also ordered the veggie sampler, which had a delectably light and refreshing quinoa; a fajita style taco; roasted asparagus, broccolini, and peppers with shaved parmesan; and a marinated tofu. The quinoa was by far my favorite. The tofu, however, fell flat in terms of flavor. Overall, I had so much different food for the price of one entrée, and easily satisfied my curiosity about the different entrees on the menu. Unfortunately, that was one of the few vegetarian entrees, which was surprising for the fresh seasonal style restaurant.
The live piano player was a nice touch to a great evening.

My husband and I were attending a seminar nearby and needed a place to eat for lunch. The place we went to earlier in the week was disappointing so we decided to try this restaurant near the mall.
Our server, Daniel was attentive and nice. Very professional and just all-​around pretty awesome. We had salad, Mahi Taco’s and soup. Everything was delicious! I loved my white ginger pear tea so much, I ordered some online so I could enjoy them at home.
Fantastic food, customer service, and speediness. The food didn’t take long at all and we were able to get back to the seminar without being late.
The next time we’re in the area we will certainly be back.

I had complete low expectations of this place given it’s a chain and their menu didn’t seem particularly interesting but I thought the food was pretty good. I also definitely recommend making reservations as it was overcrowded when we walked in on a Sat night.
We started off with the tuna tartare which was really good, nice chunks of tuna, nicely seasoned with a good amount of avocado, it was a nice balance of the two, and I love tuna, and I love avocado!
I thought my beef short rib was really good. It tasted like fatty prime rib, really moist and served with horseradish cream. Normally, short rib is dry and unflavorful but it was really good here. My husband also really liked his Chilean sea bass dish. It was flavorful and moist. I tasted my friends’ scallops and also the rack of lamb– neither were good and my friends didn’t particular like these dishes either. The scallops weren’t really crispy and the lamb was dry.

Thank goodness I made a reservation Friday night (on a whim mind you on OpenTable). TBH it didn’t make much of a difference though, we ended up waiting 20 minutes to even be seated… it was packed!!!
Ordered the Shisito peppers as an appetizer and it was really disappointing. No flavor at all in the peppers. But, our main courses were great.
I had the shrimp and grits with a side of Brussels sprouts. If the Brussels sprouts are in season, definitely order them! Also had a bite of the NY Strip which was tender
Overall, I think the concept of cooking what’s in season is great and the feel of the restaurant definitely feels like you’re at the mall

Seasons 52, they change menu every season! It’s a chain so there are a few across the country.
I’ve been here a couple of times and tried a couple of different dishes.
Appetizers: the duck lollipop is great. it’s a little spicy but you should definitely try.
flatbreads are also great. garlic chicken pesto is delicious, clean, and healthy.
Maple Grazed Chicken: yum. the portion is pretty good, the chicken is cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. I highly recommend.
Scallop: it’s a little bland. the scallops themselves are great, but it doesn’t seem seasoned very well.
Lamb: medium well seemed like medium to be honest. but it was still good. the veggies that come with it is very good. portion is a little small. I do recommend.
Lobster: a little too much pasta for a 30 dollar. but its Maine lobster on the good side. the sauce was good, but I thought there was too much pasta when the dish was supposed to be about lobster. I don’t particularly recommend unless you’re about the pasta.
Desserts: Absolutely highly recommend! my personal favorite is the pecan, but the macchiato is also to the spot. my mom likes the raspberry with chocolate.
Service: it’s not very consistent. sometimes I’ll get a good waiter who checks on you constantly but sometimes I’ll get a waitress who only seems to care about tip. not the biggest fan, but the atmosphere is still pretty classy, especially with the performances.
Lastly, price point. the high price point is really for the atmosphere and the classy mood. of course the food is great!
a solid 4 out of 5.

I just love me some Seasons 52. my very first encounter with this restaurant was when we was on vacation in San Diego California. First of all let me say that it’s always a good idea to make prior reservations.
You can call them directly or make your reservations through Open Table which l prefer because with OpenTable you can make last minutes reservations and you get 100 points for showing up and make sure you state that you have OpenTable reservations for your party when you arrive.. They always greet you with a smile and they usually take care of you right away. I love that especially when making reservations.
This place is perfect for Date night. Perfect to meet up with Family and friends and l love the way they keep the lights dimmed. They also have outside seating which is pretty cool.. Especially during warm weather. The restrooms was nice and clean which is something that most ladies can appreciate and we definitely pay attention to that. The food is well proportioned so that you can have a satisfying meal and not feel guilty.
The appetizers change regularly with the food menu
I ordered the Duck Lollipop wings which had a nice spice to it. We always share our appetizer and it was definitely shareable. My food was very enjoyable and they offer the best deserts in the world. Yes I said world lol. ‘Let me explain ’ they have a large variety of very well proportioned deserts that always AMAZE me. Please don’t hesitate to try one even it your not a desert person. Seasons 52 will change that for you. They did for me and I don’t have to run to the gym afterwards to enjoy it. Thank you Seasons 52. You will forever stay in my heart.

Grabbing a quick bite before the new Tom Hanks movie so lets go somewhere healthy… YES! Seasons 52 counts with their seasonable menu and every dish clocking in at less than 500 calories!
Happy hour in a booth. Soft lighting. Piano music. Must have a glass of Riesling. SELBACH QBA, MOSEL $ 9.50.
Small plates are $ 5 each and no more than 340 calories.
Oak grilled meatballs are tender. Duck wing lollipops are spicy. Seared ahi tuna should be skipped. Grilled chicken yakitori skewers are flavorful.
Make sure to order the brussel sprouts. Roasted with garlic, bacon and toasted breadcrumbs are a steal at $ 4.30.
That night I found a roasted quarter of acorn squash. Good job, Chef! Tender. Meaty. Delicious.
I had buttered popcorn later that evening with a zero bit of guilt. They should open a Seasons 52 next to every movie theater!

The chicken pesto flatbread=amaze balls! Love the thin crust which makes you feel a little less guilty and flavor of the pesto! I could eat the entire thing as a meal
The shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms=way too salty! The panko on top was way salty
The scallops dish was okay but thought the scallops were so bland, not seasoned at all. The butternut squash risotto was alright. Overall the broccoli rabe was the star of the dish lol.
Of course have to love the dessert. the carrot cake one was moist and delish!
If you want to feel a tad less guilty about eating out at a restaurant then head here!

I had pretty high expectations for this place and unfortunately my experience didn’t meet up to it. First of all, I found the menu to be too big and confusing to follow (maybe it’s just me)…
We had a table of 4 and ordered several dishes to share and try. There are a few items that aren’t on the online menu so I won’t include them here. They included:
— Grilled garlic pesto chicken flatbread — good, wasn’t too ‘pesto’ flavored which was nice
— another flatbread with fig and bacon (can’t find it on the menu now)
— another seasonal flat bread (can’t find it on the menu either)
— blistered shishito peppers (a giant bowl of peppers)
— lump crab, roasted shrimp & spinach stuffed mushrooms — this was good and came with 6 pieces
— oak grilled rack of lamb — perfectly cooked to a medium rare
— grilled boneless trout — delicious but not boneless
— cedar-​plan roasted salmon
I would say their desserts are pretty cool. For $ 3 you get a mini dessert in a shot glass and they bring over the selection for you to choose from. Unfortunately we didn’t get their regular selection since we were dining late so we didn’t get to see them all.
The main reason for the lower star rating is due to the service. Our server disappeared for a while and forgot to bring our drink order, then seem uninterested when we wanted to order more food (we ordered the extra 2 flatbread at the end because we were still hungry).
It wasn’t that busy when we were dining (after 9pm) so I wonder what it would be like if you were there during it’s busy time.
Overall, food wasn’t bad, but nothing spectacular to make me want to go back, but I was definitely still hungry at the end of the meal.

I went to this seasons location for happy hour with some friends and was not disappointed! I have been to a different location before so I knew what I was getting myself into and had high expectations for greatness.
The staff was phenomenal! Our bartender was super attentive, funny and helpful. I was unsure of which wine I wanted so he let me taste one and when I mentioned it was too sweet he had the perfect recommendation for a wine that suited me. Monday through Friday they have a pianist that sits in the middle of the bar and plays (and sings) popular music on the piano. she has a beautiful voice and personality. During one of her breaks she came over and I felt like she was just another one of the girls in our group. She was even nice enough to play a really jazzy version of a 1D song for one of the girls.
Since it was happy hour I stuck to the small plates (but I know their food is great). I went with the duck lollipops which did not disappoint and some (happy) glitch in their kitchen also brought me warm olives. And if anyone knows anything about me they know I love olives! Overall it was a great HH experience and I will totally be back as the prices were not bad at all! Next time I’ll have to try their wine flight and flatbread deal!

Love the concept, fresh ingredients with menu changing as different ingredients are more available in different seasons. Each dish is under 500 calories. Although each I tried was good, the names are misleading.
Lump crab, roasted shrimp, Spinach stuffed mushroom — good dish but where’s the crab? I didn’t see any lump crab only shrimp.
Duck lollipop Korean style with gochuchang — okay maybe Korean inspired because of the red pepper paste (gochuchang) — tasty dish, but no Korean household really it’s duck at home. When we do crave it, we go out for Peking duck in the Kim household to a Chinese restaurant.
Maui crunch tuna salad with radish, pineapple — definitely my favorite — the ahi tuna may have been on the thin side but I enjoyed the textures with the toasted almond, radish, pineapple and dressing was perfect. The server even had the salad split for us on two plates when it came out. We had told him we were sharing.
The bar even had a live piano man. He was surprisingly good. I’ve gone to the N. Bethesda location and the food was not seasoned as well so I never went back. I’m glad I gave the restaurant another shot.
Rounded up from 3.5 for atmosphere and service.
