Made Easter brunch reservations for 7. Called and wanted to add one more and they wouldn't allow me to add anymore than 7. We ordered off the menu as well and honestly I'm not impressed for the price. Food was average at best. Lobster had a funny taste, shrimp and grits decent but not great. I just thought the quality would be better and was a bit disappointed. Probably would not recommend this place or go back. read more

Lots of options. We had a reservation at 7 but didn't sit till around 7:30. Apparently the reservation was only for "checking in". Not the end of the world. Drink: wife had a flight which she said was awesome. I had their signature old fashion. Subpar in my opinion. My wife even questioned if there was bourbon in the drink. Food- artichokes were good. Stuffed mushrooms were not good at all. Basically a ball of breadcrumbs. My wife had scallops. They were cooked well. I had trout. It was small but cooked okay. We skipped dessert and went elsewhere. Service- waiter was pleasant and courteous. Wasn't overbearing. Seems like every where we go there we get a waiter/waitress that constantly has to be involved. Enjoyed just having dinner with my wife. Overall disappointed as this was an anniversary dinner. Regardless it wasn't good for a regular dinner. Too many other options to ever go back read more

Not bad, not great. We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday, and I will say that the ambiance is quite impressive. We reserved a semi-private room near the front, which had a long table and pretty light fixtures. Make sure you dress to impress! I ordered the pomegranate margarita martini, which was delicious! Rarely do restaurants pour you a glass and leave the shaker on the table for you, so I was pretty pleased that the drink basically came with TWO portions. I'm curious to see what the other cocktails are like! For my entree, I ordered the sea scallops, which were served over a lemon risotto with asparagus. Just by looking at the dish, I was already slightly skeptical since it came with 8 scallops, which is unusually generous compared to other restaurants I've been to (which typically serve 3-5 scallops). There was some element missing from this dish that I can't quite explain - the scallops were seared nicely on the top and were pretty tender, but I think I expected them to be a little richer and even chewier than they were. Also, they were very lightly seasoned, so I think they could have used some kind of sauce to amp up the flavor. The risotto and asparagus were pretty standard, it'd be hard to mess those up. At the conclusion of the meal, they brought out a "birthday tower" of desserts and sang to my friend, which was very nice - I unfortunately thought the desserts were free for the table and immediately chose the Belgian S'mores, which ended up being delicious so I didn't mind paying $3 after all. Overall, the ambiance was nice, the food was okay, and the prices were maybe a little high for what it was. read more

Seasons 52 - Scallops - New American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I had a Darden Restaurant gift card, so I decided to give this restaurant a try for the first time. I called in a carryout order and ordered two appetizers, the duck wings "lollipops" and the lump crab, roasted shrimp and spinach stuffed mushrooms. The order was ready on time (less than 15 mins) and the lady at the front counter was friendly. The gift card I had was an e-gift card and she needed a manager to complete the transaction. It took a while for her to find a manager and then we waited longer for the manager to actually come to the register but front counter lady was apologetic for the delay the whole time. I did look around the restaurant and it looked nice inside and I was surprised how busy they were for a Thursday night after 9pm. The food was delicious. The duck wings were cooked perfectly. When I placed the order she warned that they had some heat to them but I didn't feel they were very spicy at all. The flavor of the stuffed mushrooms was great, but they weren't really stuffed mushrooms. Each mushroom was in a small condiment container and it was a small slice of mushroom at the bottom, a small piece of crab, spinach and then the shrimp on top. So there was no mushroom cap, just a small slice of mushroom which was disappointing. But again the flavors were all there so I would definitely order both of these items again. read more

Husband and I decided to have a last minute, quick date night out. We went during happy hour which they offer during the week 3-7pm. You have to sit in the bar area to order off the happy hour menu. This was a change from last year. It's a bummer given the bar fills quickly. However I can understand that it probably makes most sense for their business model. The happy hour menu is okay. Wines by the glass are $6 but when I compare it to the normal prices, the difference was only $1. When it came down to ordering, it made more sense to choose from the normal menu for wine, but happy hour menu is great for food. Service was outstanding. read more

I had a solo dinner at Seasons 52 and greatly enjoyed it. It fit the bill perfectly for my desire to have a healthy dinner that would keep me accountable (i.e., the menu lists the caloric content) while allowing me to enjoy a beautifully prepared and plated dinner that didn't "feel" healthy. Since I was dining alone I sat at the bar and ordered the scallops and a water. The two bartenders who waited on me initially acted SLIGHTLY taken aback that I was strictly there for food (perhaps my flannel and TOMS looked like I was trying to be picked up), but they were courteous enough and I was largely left alone but received service and food quickly, which is exactly what I wanted. The caramelized scallops with lemon broccolini and butternut squash risotto were DELICIOUS and beautifully presented. I savored every bite and have to compliment their kitchen staff for impeccable preparation: the 8 small scallops were golden seared on the outside but tender/firm/opaque on the inside. The squash risotto was perfectly al dente. I would have liked to have tasted lemon on the broccolini but otherwise it was also cooked perfectly. I believe in the accuracy of S52's caloric info because $30 later I left NOT feeling full, but still satisfied. This seems like a nice little GNO spot, but not an epic splurge spot or top contender for taking out-of-town guests to. I'm taking away a star for the RUDE valet service - which I didn't even utilize. I was trying to find a spot since really, a quick solo dinner is not a situation requiring the formality (or tipping) of valet parking. While maneuvering around the lot I got stuck behind two middle-aged guys wearing shorts and bad haircuts (one guy had a mullet, no joke). I initially thought they were golf players heading to the restaurant for dinner. Both men were sauntering at a snail's pace in front of me, taking their sweet time. One of them reached the restaurant and finally looked back at me and smirked (because like, ol' Chip-on-his-shoulder mullet dude sure showed me) - and then took his place with the other valet drivers at the stand. Seriously, guy? In summary: good food+nice ambiance+high prices+convenient for healthy lifestyle. Sub-par service + shitty valet attitude. Ehhh rarely can you have it all at a restaurant. read more

Seasons 52 - Caramelized scallops...soooo good. - New American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Seasons 52 is a spot to hit when you are in need of an awesome meal and great service. I have come here a couple of times, but have taken full advantage of their menu on Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week. Regardless of what you are looking for Seasons 52 has it on the menu. Their items are fresh, flavorful and come hot from the kitchen. Flatbreads= perfectly balanced flavors on an awesomely crunchy bread. Can easily be shared with friends or eaten as an entree. Salads= you won't find any of that gross, slimy, packaged greens here. Their salads are always a go to for me and I never get anything then fresh ingredients. Main course= I have had salmon, beef filet and the quarter chicken. The portions are large and filling without being gluttonous. Everything is cooked extremely well. I never have to worry that I won't like my meal. Deserts= here they do something a little different. They serve complete deserts in tall shot glasses. Very affordable there is no need to fret over what to pick since you can easily have 2. I recommended their raspberry cannoli, ugh so good!! I will tell you its not cheap, the place can easily run $20-30 a person. BUT you're paying for quality AND attentive staff. Just a quick note, when in doubt call ahead and place a reservation, especially at peak hours it will save you from waiting around. read more

Here today for a large group dinner in one of their private rooms - overall very pleasant experience with good service. --- Atmosphere: Restaurant is modern and inviting I will note that the parking situation on a busy night is a nightmare and does take some time to park. Private room was spacious and the table easily sat our group of about 22 people. Private room did not have a TV though I am not sure if they do have one in case you need one. My main issue was the table was disjointed and piece mealed together - you can see a significant issue where the table was off balance (pictured below) to the point one of our guests was having a hard time eating. Grade: B Service: Really outstanding - I remember last year having some great service for our large group and this was no different. Our two server team was excellent they were both organized and very courteous I wish I had gotten there names so I could post it here, I was really pleased. Grade: A Food: Appetizers: - Hummus with roasted veggies was fine, nothing spectacular - Flatbreads were fairly forgetable but easy to eat, I can't say anything good or bad about them - Mushroom soup (pictured) was quite good I really liked it though I will note its super packed with mushrooms so some may not like it as much as I did Entree: - Filet was cooked a little under, I asked for med rare and it was closer to rare but still pretty good though I found it underseasoned Desserts - A plethora of shot glass mini desserts paired with coffee was a great end to the night and one of the things I really enjoy about group dinners here - personal favorite is the key lime Grade B- --- Overall modern upscale american style eatery that certainly delivers on service however food not quite up to the overall value - none the less I will be back read more

My mom and I had a wonderful lunch here last week! We wanted something simple and light and didn't really want to spend a lot of money. In the end, lunch for the two of us was just a little over $25 and we went home with leftovers! We shared the duck lollipops, Brussels sprouts and the BBQ Chicken Salad. The duck wings were dressed in an Asian sweet and hot sauce and sprinkled with white and black sesame seeds. One order had five wings. They also provide a line wedge to squeeze over the top which cuts a little bit of the heat. This was probably my favorite part of our meal because it was delicious and unique! The Brussels sprouts were a solid choice, as well. They were seasoned perfectly, had a light balsamic glaze and bacon mixed in! How could you go wrong? The salad had quite a fun presentation! One of the waiters arrived with a plate that had three slices of chicken in one corner and a clear column of salad in the other. He pulled the column up the the salad delicately spilled out, covering the plate. We actually requested for the dressing to be on the side, but it was so lightly and perfectly dressed that I didn't complain! The chicken was tender and simply had a BBQ dry rub that was very mild. In fact, I'd barely call it a BBQ salad because that really wasn't the main flavor of the dish - it was more the sweetness of the dressing and the salt from the corn. The service was friendly and attentive. I'm sure we will return again! read more

Flat bread is great. That's what they're known for so it makes sense. Everything else we had was so bland! We had the shrimp appetizer, cedar salmon, and scallops. All sub par and especially for the price. I also did not enjoy all the up selling. Too many good local restaurants in Cincinnati ever go back read more

Went to Season 52 while visiting family in Fort Thomas. Had dinner at 5pm with 5 adults and 4 kids. They were accommodating for allergies of soy, sesame, nuts and eggs: the cheese flatbread pizza was fine as well as the burger (brought our own bun) and mashed potatoes and lemonade. The adults had some great drinks: the pomegranate margarita and the new old fashioned. The Buffalo cauliflower pizza was fantastic - get it! The potato leek soup also very good - the lobster bisque was a little sweet.The roasted artichoke was also great as was the shrimp and grits, the Chilean sea bass and the salmon. The gnocchi was good but wouldn't get it again. The restaurant itself is lovely and the service was friendly. The Caymus sampler was excellent as well: generally very good wine list. The kitch of this place is that all dishes are under 600 calories. Would go again. read more

I really like this place! I love their salmon and the Thai beef salad, also the salmon salad is delicious. You can't go wrong with their fillet. I enjoy their Brussels sprouts and they are always willing to modify the menu for us! The desserts are amazing, small shot glasses, I love their s'mores and the pecan pie ones! read more

I want to start my saying that I have been to the Seasons 52 twice in Chicago and not had this experience so I think my experience is unique to Cincinnati... My family of 7 and I went to Seasons 52 with a reservation on a Saturday night. The restaurant itself has contemporary and inviting decor but why is it so dark?!? No, I'm not 90 and no I'm not one to usually complain about lighting but come on! I could barely see the menu. It was my sister's birthday and we were excited to celebrate. We were sat at a round table that was crammed in a corner. Our server was mediocre at best. We ordered a ton of food and the scallops, vegetable lasagne, and rainbow trout were by far the best! The macaroni and cheese was Kraft level and the crab cakes are better at Joe's Crab Shack. I'm not a cheapskate by any means but for $11 give me more than one measly crab cake with a weird arugula side salad to distract. When we informed our server we were celebrating a birthday, we all received mini deserts in a shot glass. I got the pear cheesecake one and it tasted like baby food. Our total bill was around $325 with tip. We should've went to Olive Garden. Seasons, I think maybe we just came here on an off night and I know your menu seasonally changes. I will definitely give you guys another try in my hometown of Chicago. read more

For a chain restaurant, it's one of my favorites. Calorie conscious and all food items have calorie information on it, which is helpful if you're trying to eat healthy. I've gone here several times in the past 5 years. Service is always attentive. The ambiance is good, the noise level is fair. The bar is fantastic with comfortable seats. Wine and beer selection is great and well priced. The best apps are the grilled artichokes and Ahi tuna tartare. Entree salads are amazing, and filling. Recently had the scallops and the rainbow trout. They bring dessert in shot glasses out to the table which makes it hard not to say no, and it is the perfect amount of dessert. It's a good place also who are trying to be gluten and lactose free. read more

Seasons 52 - Ahi Tuna Tartare - New American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I wish I could afford to eat here every day. Food is fresh and light or warm and savory.. whatever you're feelin. The first time dining here, we couldn't decide on a dish so my friend and I split a number of appetizers! The mushrooms as well as the flatbread are always light and flavorful. And if you're lucky, the chef may bring out a little sampling before you order, to welcome you. I appreciate that they list the calorie count and can also cater to dietary needs relatively easily. I often don't even have to modify plates to fit my restrictions. Even with the rotating menu selections, I can always find something to be excited about and afterwards satisfied! I've been here for my family birthday dinner two years in a row. Both times I was offered a free dessert shooter (so so hard to pick which one!) and we had our photo taken at the table. I wish the lighting was a little brighter, but it definitely sets the mood for an intimate or formal evening. Oh did I mention that on the weekends they have a live pianist/singer? Highly suggest some cocktails at the bar to enjoy the atmosphere and learn from the educated waiters and bartenders. read more

We do not understand how their food can be so low in calories and taste amazing! Went last week with a group of girlfriends and last night with my husband and 23 year old son... Outstanding! I had the scallops and risotto (both visits) as well as the beef kabobs. My husband had the steak tacos and rice and beans. My son had the surf and turf. All were delicious and we would all go back tomorrow! For months I would order a type of lasagna - less than 5oo calories - tastes like 5,000 calories! This is the same for the scallops and risotto - tastes extremely rich and high in calories. I went so far to stop by the kitchen and ask the chef how they can possibly do this. He stated they take great care to create healthy low calorie meals. He said the calories are accurate. On top of all the above - great atmosphere and service! Catherine read more

WOW! I dined in on a Saturday evening with my girlfriends for my birthday and let me tell you how much they gave us the Royal Treatment! I love this place and can't wait to come back! I called a couple of weeks in advanced to make reservations and the hostess was really nice on the phone (made reservations at 6:00 p.m). When we arrived, we only had to wait 5 minutes since they were cleaning our table. My only complaint is that we had to wait for our server to get our drink order, but after that, the service was great! We started off with the Flight and Flatbread. I did the Dry Red Wine flight which you receive 3 wines: -Charles and Charles Cabernet Blend -Saison Gamay -Verso My favorite was the Charles and Cabernet Blend. My friend had the premium flight and had me try her Cabernet Sauvignon (Beringer Knights) and ended up getting a glass with my meal. As my appetizer, I got the ROASTED ROMA TOMATO-fresh mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, ribbons of basil. OMG! Super delish!! (430 calories) The basil was fresh, love the tomatoes and flatbread was super thin and crispy! I highly recommend you try it! For dinner I got the CEDAR-PLANK ROASTED SALMON-roasted vegetables & crushed potatoes, dill-mustard sauce, grilled lemon (440 cal). I love that they put the calorie content! So helpful. This meal was also awesome!! I loved everything from my salmon (great flavor), veggies and potatoes! At the end of the night we all got dessert and it was on the house since it was my birthday!! How sweet was that?!!! I got the CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER TORTE-Mini chocolate cake, chocolate sauce, peanut butter mousse, peanut tuile (320 cal). One word to describe this dessert.... HEAVEN!!! I want to thank Seasons 52 for a great experience and making my birthday extra special! read more

OK, I get it Season's 52...You change your menu all the time, everything is fresh, and it's all under 475 calories. Cool. I should like this...Is it bad that I don't really think their food tastes very good? I've been here a few times, and every time I'm always kind of disappointed. The food just honestly doesn't taste as good as it should for the price, and maybe that's because they're using less butter or something, but who cares! If I want to eat something that's under 475 calories, I would cook it myself so I know what's in it. When I go out to eat, I want something delicious that I can't make at home. And unfortunately, I just feel like the food here is not very good. And the portions are soooo small. I get that it's small because it's 475 calories, but if you're giving me half the food as other places, it should be half the price. The ambiance is very high end, and the service is excellent. It's nice going out to a restaurant and feeling like you're in a 5 star steakhouse when the food is healthy. I enjoy that. But overall, I'm just not that excited about this place. read more

Reservations mean nothing. If you have you have them you will likely wait a long time while they explain to you why its not their fault. I've never been to a place that told me "your reservation is 5th in line", well then its not really a reservation is it? Many others around us the same boat. The chef and waiters did their job. read more

It is honestly unusual for me to rate a chain restaurant as a five star dining experience, but I have to admit that Seasons 52 blows me away every time. The concept of the restaurant alone really sets it apart (the menu changes each season and each week they have a unique chef specials section). Every item is under 475 calories and they only use fresh ingredients that are in season at the time. Without a doubt, some seasons are tastier than others. You'll find heartier menu items in the fall and winter, whereas the summer and spring are lighter and refreshing. They have an excellent wine list to accompany all of their menu items and a knowledgeable staff to guide you on your wine selecion if needed. To start with, the cocktails are always delicious and plentiful. They bring out the adorable shaker and pour your drink for you at the table, then leave the shaker so that you can enjoy what is remaining of your drink. This usually means that you can get 1 1/2-2 cocktails out of each order. There are appetizers for every food preference, but I have to recommend the flat breads. I've had several, but my personal favorites are the Trio of Roasted Mushrooms and the Lobster and Mozzarella. As far as the classic appetizers are concerned, I'm a huge fan of the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli. I've also had several entrees, but I have to admit that my personal favorite is the Roasted Manchester Farms Quail. They are so flavorful that nothing even begins to compare! The Shrimp Cavatappi Pasta is also noteworthy and delicious. To end your evening, you absolutely must get a mini indulgence (or two or three) accompanied with a cup of coffee or espresso. I suggest the Mocha Macchiato because it is heaven in a tiny shot glass. read more

Wednesday evening I was invited to a preview "media dinner" for Seasons 52, which will officially open on Monday in the Rookwood Exchange. This is their first restaurant in Ohio, with nearly 30 other locations spread across 13 states and at least 8 more in the works. Seasons 52 debuted in 2003 and specializes in a fresh dining experience with all dishes under 475 calories. Their menu changes seasonally four times a year and has weekly specials inspired by the fresh appeal of the farmers' market. This will be the first business opening it's doors in the Rookwood Exchange, so the surrounding area is very much a work in progress. However there is ample parking and the option for valet. I arrived just before the 6:30 start time and upon entering the doors was greeted by some of the staff and given a complimentary glass of champagne. From there I was lead on a tour through the restaurant, starting with a small chefs table, then through the kitchen, a few private dining rooms, and finally to the bar area. We waited in the bar area for all the guests to arrive and were treated to additional champagne and music from a live piano bar, which will continue to be featured nightly. Seasons 52's Master Sommelier George Miliotes was also available in the bar to tell us more about the restaurant's history. Once all the guests had arrived we were offered a sampling from their flatbread menu. I tried the artichoke and goat cheese with leaf spinach, balsamic onions, and roasted peppers. This was a wonderful combination of flavors which I really enjoyed. From there we moved into the main dining room to start our six course meal, each course paired with at least one wine. Each course was introduced by Executive Chef Clifford Pleau. I'm not going to cover all the courses, just my personal highlights. For the third course we were given a salad of organic field greens, grilled mushrooms, toasted pistachios, and truffle dressing. I was happy to hear that all salad greens are organic and that they try to use local ingredients when possible. This salad was simple but very fresh and smelled wonderful. The mushrooms and pistachios added a nice flavor as well as a little crunch. I did think it was a little under dressed, but perhaps that is one way to keep the calorie count low. The next course was my personal favorite of the night. It was a Sonoma goat cheese ravioli with roasted garlic, basil, and organic tomato broth. I don't think I've ever tasted goat cheese as good as what was inside these ravioli. Plus the sauce was delicious and the addition of fresh basil really brought it all together. I see that this is normally served as an appetizer, however I wish it were served as an entrée, perhaps with an added protein. For the next course I had Springer Mountain Farm all-natural grilled chicken served over a sweet potato mash with roasted Brussels sprouts. The chicken was cooked on their hickory burning grill giving it a very nice flavor. Again you could smell these dishes coming out from the kitchen. The sweet potato mash and Brussels sprouts were both nice accompaniment for the meat. Finally we were given a choice from their mini indulgences desert selections. These mini deserts are meant to be between six and eight bites each and come served in what appears to be a tall shot glass. I went with the highly recommended pecan pie with vanilla mousse. It is a little awkward getting the spoon down into the depths of the glass, but this desert really was outstanding! I was very impressed the food and service from Seasons 52. However I do realize that this dining experience wasn't a typical one. With that said all the food I tasted definitely has me convinced to return again in the near future to try even more. read more

My boyfriend and I made last minute reservations for a Sunday night dinner. I didn't go into it thinking so highly of them simply because I haven't heard much about them. Well, I now know why. Our server seemed pretty scatter brained and I only saw 2 other tables in the restaurant. I ordered a glass of wine and it wasn't delivered to my table until I asked for it again...10 minutes after waiting. My boyfriend ordered a whiskey on the rocks, which was 95% rocks. As far as the food, taste was awesome, I loved it. But it was delivered to us cold. We ordered a side of Mac n cheese to split and had to wait for it because they delivered it to the wrong table initially. After all that I just wanted to go home sans dessert. I'm thinking everything that could have gone wrong that night did and maybe it was a fluke but I can only judge based on our experience. I'm not thrilled about tipping 20% after this night. read more

I frequent this restaurant for meetings and conferences. Usually starts with circling the lot multiple times looking for parking, although you can take advantage of their valet and save time if you wish. There is also a parking garage near by. Usually pretty good food, good atmosphere. A decent high end chain. Food is solid, atmosphere is solid, good for conferences, service mediocre, the price and chain style fair pushes me elsewhere in Cincinnati where I'm willing to spend the same price for a dinner with a little more character, however this place does the high end chain-style well. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere! The duck wing lollipops were good but the sauce was very generic. I expected something a bit different. I would not get it again because it's nothing special. The shrimp and grits were very different than the ones I'm used to. Even though it was savory and succulent, the tomatoes gave it an acidic and citrus taste that made the dish lighter. Very good take on the usual Shrimp and Grits! I got the Quail. It was my first time eating quail and I loved it. The meat was fatty and tender while the glaze gave the dish a wisp of vinegary sweetness that leaves you wanting more. The mushroom stuffed risotto was savory, not too heavy and complimented the quail very well. The spinach was very juicy, slightly refreshing and served as an excellent counter for the quail and risotto. My friends got the Lobster and Brussels sprouts and they loved it. I thought the pork tenderloin was a little dry and too salty. Glad I didn't get it. Needless to say, I look forward to returning soon! read more

Season 52 is one of the newer chain restaurants targeting affluent diners who want something healthy in an upscale setting. This location is divided in to three sections: Main dining, bar, and event. Main dining is like the typical restaurant floor. The bar area features a large bar surrounding drinks and bartenders, as well as live music. Along the outer rim of the bar area are booths that are able to fit 4 to 8 people. Overall, the restaurant tries to go for an intimate atmosphere. If you want to carry on a dinner conversation, then definitely go for the main dining floor. The bar area tends to be a bit loud as people try to talk over the music. While I'm not sure about the quality of music on other nights, on our particular trip the artist was giving a very good rendition of "Happy" by simultaneously singing and playing piano. Having read reviews from others that the food can be a bit bland, we deliberately targeted dishes that have big flavors. Our appetizer was stuffed mushrooms. She had their seared tuna salad while I went for a rack of lamb (see pictures). I finished off with their raspberry cannoli dessert shooter. The stuffed mushrooms were definitely very flavorful. It is served searing hot in a container that reminds me of escargot plates. Mushrooms lined the bottom, filled with spinach, crab, and topped off with shrimp. I'm not sure how common they do this, but we were brought an amuse bouche by a chef from the kitchen: Diced seared tuna dressed with sesame soy. It was a one bite burst of flavor that provided a very refreshing contrast to the stuffed mushrooms. As for our entrees, the seared tuna salad featured some of the freshest sushi-grade tuna we have seen in Cincinnati. The succulent red flesh was obviously very high quality and never frozen. The understated tuna taste went very well with the salad, which was a mix of different greens and accented with sliced almonds and small amount of crunchy noodles. The rack of lamb was definitely a significant highlight. The meat was seasoned just right with salt and pepper. I ordered it medium rare (there is no other way to enjoy it), and the kitchen cooked it to just that. Under the lamb are vegetables and mashed potatoes, topped with shallot jus. Yes, I cleaned the bones. The lamb was really that good. Finally, our dessert selection was the raspberry cannoli shooter. The filling is rich, creamy, with just the right amount of raspberry sauce and mini chocolate chips to accent the sweet cream. There's more than enough filling for the size of the cannoli and there will most definitely be leftovers for you to enjoy by the spoonful. All in all, I can't speak for the lunch menu or other items, but everything we had is highly recommended. Most of all, the amuse bouche provided a perfect inflection point to transition from our mushrooms to the entrees. We will be looking forward to going back for sure. read more

I love that they have all the calories listed on the menu. The food is chef-driven so it is really good without the guilt factor. The first time I came here I wondered where the bread was but after they explained their healthy food philosophy I was totally on board. It makes me fear the amount of calories in meals at other restaurants that I really like! The desserts are in little glass cups & are exactly the right amount. My favorite is the key lime pie. We celebrate here for many occasions & the staff is usually friendly & helpful. read more

Great food for the calorie conscious. We went at the end of the summer menu. The pork chop was grilled perfectly and juicy. We loved the Korean BBQ skewers. Looking forward to try the next season's menu. read more

I'm not sure why anyone would not give this place 5 stars!!!! From ambiance, to customer service to the menu. They just launched their autumn menu, and we ordered the delicious chicken skewer with a yum slaw, and the lump crab and shrimp with spinach both fantastic! The spinach and pear salad was fresh and they're huge. The waitresses was on point. She brought out our entrees and her closing statement, "is there anything else I can do to make your dinner more enjoyable?" I was outdone! Entrees, the asian glaze seabass, sweet and delicious. The scallops and risotto, the pork tenderloin very good, the braised short ribs, very good!!! Lastly, ill say this. The short ribs were a bit cool in the middle, they took it back and re-made it, I was thinking warm it up on the grill some. No! the actual chef brought out a new one! And apologized and asked if there was anything he could bring to make our night enjoyable. I must say what a fantastic night!!! Glad we found this place on Yelp. if you are in the Cinci area, you must check this place out. Everything is fresh made and nothing processed is available, so no Ranch dressing for those salads :-) read more

The food was excellent. I was in a group of 10. I am on a keto diet and they went out of their way and served me keto food! For example I asked for creamed spinach. They did not serve that on their menu but were able to procure that from their sister company Capital Grill- the manager made that happen. I am very appreciative. The food was very fresh and tasty. Our server Tami was top notch. We sat outside, the sight of the beautiful flowers and breeze added to a great setting. Great experience. Will definitely come back. read more

First time at this location. Ordered water with lemon/lime. Glass came out with someone else's lips on them and it was wet on the lip imprint with the glass not filled completely. Assuming someone else sipped from the glass. I was turned off but decided to stay bc it was a simple "mistake". The person I went with only orders the salmon when she goes and I went with the Chilean Sea Bass. My food was not hot, but decided against making a big fuss. She said the salmon did not taste the same as before and I kept asking if she was sure? She repeatedly said something was off and then mentioned that they also kept the skin on the salmon. I cook and understand that the skin helps to keep the moisture in. She stated they didn't used to do that. We ended up eating our food and she wanted to ask the waitress about the salmon. Guess what? Seasons 52 has a new Head Chef. The new chef who decided that leaving the skin is the way to go. Her meal was taken care of by the restaurant as she wasn't happy with it. The waitress said that from now on we can ask for the skin to be removed - - welp fine time to mention that. The "skin on" change occurred 3 weeks prior to us ordering. Maybe it's me, but that's probably something that I would mention to customers. But hey, what do I know?! Giving 2 stars as the food was just okay and they were apologetic about her salmon not being the way she remembered it. Lesson Learned - if the water comes out with lips that don't belong to you -- run away bc it's going to be one heck of a night. read more

I went here with family to celebrate an adult birthday on Sunday. The hostess was very professional and the decor with the modern fireplace was very inviting. They promptly seated us and brought our drinks. Service was great - our waiter was very attentive and personable. Menu has the right number of offerings and displays calorie count which I really appreciate. There were lots of little mature birthday surprises sprinkled in throughout the meal - a delicious spoonful of an appetizer the head chef had created that morning, a birthday card, and mini desert cups with a candle. My only disappointment was in how the food tasted. I ordered the half roasted chicken and butternut squash soup. Temperate and presentation of the food were perfect. The chicken was just mediocre, though. It had the rubbery texture and taste of being microwaved. I'm sure they baked it at some point, but it just wasn't the hot-off-the rotisserie freshness as I had hoped. The soup was okay, but didn't have much taste. The desert though (s'mores cup) was great and just the perfect guilt-free size. It was nice, but given my experience of the food, the stock decor, and how close the many tables were to one another, it kinda felt like just another chain. I'm sure there are benefits to that - higher reproducibility in the food, more standard cooking techniques, etc. Their menu does rotate with the seasons and they do offer a 3 plate special, but it just didn't wow me for the price. read more

Came here for their happy hour- $15 for: a wine flight, a flatbread, and a full glass of wine. GREAT deal. The flatbreads are perfect for sharing, the wine flights are pretty good, and we were able to get a full pour of a glass of malbec that was really tasty. Love it! I can't wait to come back and try out a full meal. read more

I came in for dinner last Saturday night with a group of 6 and had an awesome first experience. The service was amazing, the food all came out pretty quickly, and the ambiance here was very intimate and cozy. There was live music with a piano player and singer that were very pleasant. We shared the Asian chicken skewers (on top of a yummy kale salad), the pesto chicken flatbread, and the seasonal lobster flatbread.. all absolutely flavorful and fresh. For the 6 of us, it was the perfect amount. For my entree I had the caramelized grilled sea scallops.. and I was so surprised by how many scallops it came with for only $23.50.. most places would charge an arm and a leg for it. They were cooked to perfection and the butternut squash risotto that it came with and broccolini were also delish.. I was so full by the end of the meal, but did not feel disgusting at all. I appreciated that they listed the caloric content for each meal. I would definitely suggest this place for any intimate meal and I am also interested in trying out their happy hour. A high quality place that is very reasonably priced! read more

A friend who lives in Cinci took me here for dinner. I was a little skeptical because I understand that this is a chain. But dinner was quite pleasant! The three of us ended up splitting various appetizers/sides instead of entrees because we weren't super hungry. My friends both had cocktails, which they proclaimed delicious. I was shocked to find a very decently priced rose that was also quite good. We partook of the following: Brussel sprouts: deelish! Shishito peppers: slightly smoky, bright, and flavorful Veggie platter: Seasons 52 really outdid itself with this thoughtful vegetable platter. Included various sides and a taco. All delicious and well-cooked. Various small dessert bites: These are kind of unique. Seasons 52 doesn't do regular desserts; its desserts are little shot glasses of various concoctions. I honestly can't remember which ones we had, because they weren't that memorable. But the small size makes them an attractive choice for those who don't love dessert, but need a few bites of something sweet to end their meal. read more

You provided a wonderful evening for our leadership team! Great service from Alegro and Shelby plus great salmon or filets!

Last night was our first visit to Seasons 52. We had a great meal. The server was attentive and had great recommendations. She even helped with understanding ingredients in the drinks we ordered. The stuffed mushrooms and crabcakes were delicious. Our entrees (scallops and pork chop with red cabbage) were cooked perfectly. The only exception was my wife's green beans which were slightly undercooked. Trent, one of the managers, offered to replace them with another choice. When we deferred (we had completed our meal), he comped our drinks and provided free desert. We will definitely be back for this great food and attentive service. read more

My husband and I went to Seasons 52 on a Friday evening with a group of friends. We had a reservation for 14 at 6pm and were promtly seated. The waitstaff did a great job with our large party. I like that the menu has options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diets. I started with the Mediterranean vegetable soup and my husband had the shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms. My soup was good and he very much enjoyed the mushrooms. For my entree I had the winter vegetable tasting which was fun. It included broccoli, a stuffed mushroom, tofu, golden beets, a cute tortilla stuffed with veggies and beans and a delicious quinoa salad. So many different flavors and textures in one meal. It was all tasty and fresh. I enjoyed it very much. My husband thought the Chilean sea bass was excellent. I ordered hot tea and liked that they have a tea menu. They have organic Tea Forte brand teas. It was very good. They brought out a big tower of mini desserts for our table to try. I tried the smore, key lime pie and peanut butter chocolate. They were all good, but the peanut butter chocolate was my favorite. The ambience was nice and we will definitely be dining there again. read more
