    This was our fourth visit and, like the other three, it was very good. I noticed every table in our section was full, yet the food came out quickly and was hot. Our server was excellent. I regret I didn’t get her name.

    First time there and it certainly had that North End of Boston vibe; the share plate selection was really good, entrees prepared well with a nice presentation. Service was excellent and the entire restaurant was buzzing. I would say that Westwood has a nice neighborhood restaurant with the addition of Bar Cino; its location is close enough to Rte 128/95 that it can be a nice detour while travelling. Bon Appetito

    Seasons52 always seems to please, whichever one we have chosen to visit (Massachusetts, Florida, California). On a busy Friday afternoon, we were seated promptly. Despite the crowds, staff were attentive, warm and welcoming. Noise level was not a problem and the pleasant atmosphere adds to the experience . We came here because the food is always good and there is a decent variety of dishes at reasonable prices . Good selection of wines, too. So much to choose from, but the shrimp and grits always hits the spot . While there are many good restaurants in the area, this one is always a safe bet.
