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.

Went on a weeknight with a friend. The ambiance is pub-like. We were greeted warmly at the door and quickly seated. We were surprised by the extremely limited menu choices and the $25 prix fixe menu, however appetizers (corn chowder, grilled salmon, brownie) through dessert were tasty and well-cooked. Can recommend.
