    We came in the night after Thanksgiving night and the restaurant was still fairly busy. It's much easier to park in this area when there's not a Red Sox game going on, and the service is more normal than when everyone is going to the game. I'm much happier with Eastern Standard in their current location and then when they were on Kenmore Square. Glad I returned, and compliments to the architect for a beautiful and acoustically pleasing environment.

    We just completed the most amazing holiday meal at Seasons 52 - Chestnut Hill. From our welcome experience when we arrived, to our departure- absolutely everything was exceptional. We waited at the bar and ordered drinks ( the barter who concocted the drinks was definitely on point) and appetizers while our table was being readied. Our other wonderful bartender made certain that our appetizers arrived at our table, after we had left the bar. Kya - our waitress- was unbelievably fantastic. We wish that we could name them all. I can’t say enough about the seamless customer care and superb service that we enjoyed from this team this evening. Thank you Seasons 52 for your commitment to excellence. We are grateful!
