    We went to Seasons 52 for my birthday lunch. They went above & beyond to make it a special meal. Restaurant was crowded with large holiday parties yet our food came out quickly. The manager made it a point to stop by every table to check that everyone was enjoying themselves. I will continue to take my friends and family there for special occasions.

    Other than a loud, disruptive group in the room (everyone cheered when they left) it was a very nice evening. The food was well prepared and ample, and the server affable. In fact, we established a new First Date Anniversary tradition: dinner at Cranbury Inn!
