Our couples night was originally supposed to start at Albatross for bowling, but after finding out…read morethere was a 3-hour wait, we switched plans and ended up at Tommy's Tavern. There were four couples in our group, and the wait was about 45 minutes. We headed up to the rooftop and were seated in a comfortable section near the fire heaters. The atmosphere was on point -- relaxed, lively, and a great vibe for a couples night. Our server, Nea, was excellent. The rooftop was packed, but she was welcoming, attentive, and stayed on top of everything. Definitely a 5/5 for service. I had the red sangria and my wife had the amaretto sour, and both were good. We also had a few shots of 1800 Coconut. For food, my wife had the buttermilk chicken sliders, which were an easy 5/5. I had the garlic pepperoni flatbread. The portion was huge, but I'd give it a 3/5 because it was a little salty for my taste. I'm pretty sensitive to salt, though, and it is pepperoni, so I can't knock them too hard for that. The rooftop ambiance was easily a 5/5. Just a heads-up, parking can be tough in their lot, so parking across the way may be easier. Also, the rooftop menu is smaller than the regular restaurant menu. Overall, great atmosphere, great service, good drinks, and a really enjoyable night. We'll definitely be back.

What we were most disappointed about were the drinks. Overpriced and did not taste good. We sent back a mojito then it was replaced with another subpar concoction.

I ordered the edamame dumplings and absolutely loved them. They were delicious, full of flavor, and honestly won my heart. My husband got the vegan double cheeseburger with beet and walnut patties, which was something different from the usual veggie burgers we've had. The patties were really flavorful and delicious. We also tried their house-made dragon fruit lemonade, which was refreshing and went really well with our meal. Since it was our first time, our server was really nice and helpful. He took the time to guide us through the menu and helped us decide what to try, which we appreciated. The service was good and the ambience was nice and comfortable. It's conveniently located by Menlo Park Mall, so there's plenty of parking as well. Overall, we had a really good experience. Everything we tried was tasty, the service was welcoming, and we're already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!

The Food Starter: Edamame Dumplings, Salad: Organic Tuscan Kale, & main course: Vegan Double Cheeseburger (WOW‼). I would recommend this to everyone for sure. The only minuscule disappointment was that our beverages were delayed, and the Edamame Dumplings were a little disappointing; in that it was lacking a very small portion of Edamame. My daughter did place another order, and this time the Edamame was well served. Yet she was not offered a compliment credit towards the unsatisfactory portion on first order. The good atmosphere was vibrant and excitable in the Mix. Definitely add to your To-Do-Visit

It was served piping hot and I cleared this plate down to the last bite. It is a shame this plate will not be served all year round, but this is understood because Seasons 52 is known for alternating their menu. In addition to enjoying the meal, the inside is very upscale. There are a variety of beautifully decorated trees and the lighting is dimmed.

Our server came over rather quickly and offered beverages. My husband loved his old fashioned. We ordered 2 gf crust flatbreads and the caramelized Brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were so delicious. The pepperoni flatbread was superior to the chicken pesto one. Both were good but I prefer the pepperoni. For dessert, the only options are mini jars with cake. Lemon blueberry was seasonal while others are standard. It tasted fine but nothing special. I love how the menu changes with the season and features fresh options. For example, summer featured corn and I bet fall will feature squash. You'd never know this is a chain. Definitely give seasons 52 a chance.

I noticed AFTER we ordered that there was a cocktail special that night. Our waitress never mentioned any specials, so I tried to flag her down after I had already ordered a different one not on the list. I mentioned to the hostess what I needed, and I hung out waiting for our waitress at the front. After waiting at least 15 min for her to show up from the back, I was able to ask her to change my drink order. The food here is FABULOUS. We got the housemade Irish soda bread and it was amazing. Hubby got the shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I got the lamb chops over asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was FANTASTIC ! I don't know if our waitress was new or what, but our meals were delivered without silverware. We waited several minutes, then finally flagged down another waitress so that we could eat ! If it wasn't for the poor service, this place could easily be 5 stars due to the fabulous food. Thankfully we got out of there before the live music started, loud music is not our vibe. At the very end of the meal, somehow my original drink order made an appearance (that's what I was afraid of, that she didn't cancel the order). The folks at the table next to us ordered the exact same cocktail, so when the bar tried to give it to us, the waitress told them to give it to the table next to us instead. Geez, we were already paying for our meal at the time. Lol The manager did come out and the end of the meal to ask how things were. I did mention I thought our waitress might be new. I didn't get an answer as to if she was, but I posed it more as a statement than a question.

The host was super warm and friendly and, since it was our first time, guided us through the menu and gave us some good suggestions. That definitely made a great first impression. I'm vegetarian and don't eat eggs directly, so I got the Vegetarian Ranchero with the egg on the side. They were totally fine accommodating that, and I really enjoyed it. We also tried the guava and cheese empanada, which was a first for me, and honestly it was delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect from that combination, but the sweet guava and cheese were so well balanced. Definitely one of my favorites from the brunch. I also got their signature coffee with refills, which was perfect because we were there to relax, chat, and celebrate. Overall, we really enjoyed our brunch.

The portions here are absolutely legendary. A slice of cake is practically the size of your head. Order a "small" grilled chicken sandwich and you'll get enough chicken breast to feed a family.

You may experience a little sticker shock when you see the prices, but trust me--you need to come hungry! These portions are enormous, and you'll almost certainly be leaving with enough leftovers to keep you fed for days. When you consider how much food you're actually getting, the whole experience makes a lot more sense. It's unlike anything you'll experience anywhere else, and that's exactly what makes Harold's so much fun. And you absolutely cannot visit without checking out the Pickle Bar! They also have plenty of parking, lots of seating, basic ambiance and attentive staff. Whether you're a New Jersey native or just visiting, Harold's is definitely worth experiencing at least once!

I went with the hot for the chicken & waffles and medium for the wings, and I'm so glad I did. If you're a spicy lover like me, hot is not something you'd want every time. It's enjoyable, but there's definitely a kick that'll have you dusting off your mouth. The medium, on the other hand, is the perfect balance. The chicken was good, but the clear winner for me is the spicy smash burger. That burger was good, and I'll be coming back for it again and again. I also ordered the oreo shake, and it was definitely worth the purchase. And, for a franchise, I was really impressed with the service: friendly, attentive and responsive.
