this place is a hit out miss especially if you have a larger party on the weekend. I also used season 52 for corporate events pre COVID and was pretty good.
after a few of us enjoyed the lamb loins prior we had a reservation for 12 on a Sunday night. we got promptly seated at 7:15 pm in the backroom next to the kitchen.
we all put our orders in and about 30 min later (7:50) some of the apps started trickling in and then we were told that they had no lamb.We also asked if we could substitute the French green beans with brussel sprouts which we were told wasn't a problem. The mushroom bisque was actually pretty good. butternut squash was a little gelatin like texture and wasn't that great.
During this first 30 min we didn't have any drink refills not even water or was checked in again. We then ordered filet with lobster , sea scallops with risotto, Chilean Seabass.
We waited another hour for our main dishes 8:45. As we were sitting next to the kitchen we could see some food under the warmer what we suspected was ours but wasn't sure. We could also see the kitchen starting to clean up so we had a lot of doubt if any main dishes would come out. once our food made it out it was obvious the food was sitting under a warmer for 20+ minutes the medium rare steak turned into medium well, and the risotto was pretty dry as was the the trout.
we're also told there's no more brussel sprouts so they would get it from Eddie V's...
during this whole time there's no visit from any manager or kitchen staff..
Almost 15 min past closing at 9:15 We never got our green bean side dishes and the brussels sprouts that were brought out was a valiant effort but it was boiled instead of broiled and very watery.. considering they already shut down the broiler probably half an hour ago.
out of respect, We took a few bites of the brussel sprouts and asked for a check which was there. no adjustments. at this point we asked for a manager which none was available so senior kitchen staff came out and apologized and adjusted our bill
We understand during this time there's limited food supplies as well as staff but we would of expected a bit better...
Read moreAmbience and environment was really nice and at the same time kid friendly. They even have a family restroom! We went as guests in one of the private rooms, which was nicely set up. The waitstaff was friendly and accommodating. We had a set menu, so my evaluation of the food is a little limited, but here’s what we experienced!
Kids Meals: Large portions Adult-like food
Our kids liked the food just fine, but it was definitely more geared towards a more refined palette. We got the chicken tenders and pasta. The tenders were grilled, not breaded, and came on top of mashed potatoes with a side of green beans. The pasta came with the sauce and cheese on the side, which was very entertaining for our almost 3-year-old, who dumped the cheese in the sauce and then dipped individual pieces of pasta in the sauce and ate it.
The salad of mixed greens that I got had a good mix of greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, seeds, and nuts. It was also much bigger than I anticipated.
My husband got the salmon which was good, but nothing too out of the ordinary. I got a half chicken which was the driest chicken leg I have ever experienced. I would have much preferred a chicken from Costco. Both the salmon and chicken came with mashed potatoes, peas, and asparagus.
The highlights and standouts of the meal were the flatbreads and desserts. The flatbreads were an asparagus, Brie, and prosciutto combo and a roasted tomato. They were both excellent. The desserts were small cups of different takes on common desserts (pecan pie, key lime pie, strawberry cheesecake). I got the pecan pie which was delicious.
The only other thing I would note is that there were a lot of dishes with asparagus offered. An asparagus soup, asparagus on the pizza, and entrees...

Come here for lunch occasionally, always impressed by the service, atmosphere, and food.
Service The hostess was excellent, but what makes it special was as we were waiting for her to return (after she had just seated people ahead of us), the phone at her desk started ringing. Not missing a beat, she answered and politely put them on hold, and then seated us! Yes!!! Finally someone who understands you don’t answer a call and start talking when you already have customers standing in front of you of you! Our server Kelsey was also outstanding, introducing herself and taking care of us quickly and efficiently, very polite…kudos to her and the business!
Food Always very flavorful and a wide variety of choices. The two of us ordered one lunch special of meatball and baby kale flatbread with asparagus soup, and a Maui Tuna Crunch salad. The flatbread was amazing, the sliced meatballs very flavorful, and the asparagus soup excellent. They do offer a gluten sensitive flatbread if desired. The Maui salad was also excellent, with perfectly seared tuna, but had a very large salad portion. Only small down was my wife asked for the dressing on the side, and it came in two separate very tiny portions, maybe a tablespoon each at best…for a huge salad. Had to ask for more, and our server again brought two more tiny portions, which was then enough. Not sure how it would have come if we had not asked for the dressing on the side, one seemed to be for the tuna, the other for the actual salad itself. Either way, very good, but a very large salad, a bit too much for lunch.
Again, very much enjoy coming here.
Will I come back…absolutely! Would I recommend...
