We have been to Seasons 52 on many occasions for happy hour and/or dinner. Each time we have had a wonderful experience. The food is delicious, and the cocktails are excellent. They also have a variety of wines and include pairing suggestions on the menu. The prices are very reasonable, too. Lastly, the service has always been friendly and professional. I definitely recommend Seasons 52.

The food was amazing, service was excellent. It was cold in there because they had the doors open. Could have been warmer on a chilly day.
