Seasons 52 always delights. The staff are attentive and very friendly. Casey (bartender) was wonderful and helped me select the Kona-crusted Lamb pops. Delish. Then I tried the Watermelon, Cucumber & Feta salad also a good one with zesty lime juice. This was refreshing on such a hot summer day. Packaged a Chicken Pesto flatbread to take home. What made my eyes pop out was The Prisoner 9 oz. glass for $36. Amazing ... is this due to the tariffs? Afterall 3-6 pm is Happy Hour. Nowhere did I see these charges listed and if I knew I would opt for an entree like Chilean Sea Bass or Cedar Plank-roasted Salmon. Corporate office should rethink this or they will lose my business!
I had been to the Seasons 52 in Costa Mesa several times, but honestly, I had completely forgotten how good it was. We had just gone to the Rancho Cucamonga location the day before and had a really great experience. While we were there, I kept seeing people being served steaks, and everything looked so good. The following day, my partner and I were going to be near Irvine and South Coast Plaza looking for somewhere to eat, so I thought, why not try Seasons 52 again? My partner had never been there before, so it was perfect. I ordered the filet mignon with mashed potatoes, and it was really good. My partner ordered the steak and lobster, and he really enjoyed it too. Our drinks were phenomenal and so yummy that we ended up ordering a couple of rounds. It is such a cool place. Everyone was kind, the service was great, and we had a wonderful experience. Definitely highly recommended!
Always changing always new, this is one of the best places in the OC to eat. Fantastic atmosphere, great service, always good. Five stars all the way.
Seasons 52 is a such a classic restaurant to celebrate any occasion, and they know that themselves! Our occasion was for a birthday dinner for one of my girlfriends. We were promptly seated upon arrival and were informed of the menu as it was all our first visit. Our server was patient with us as we made our decisions. We experienced the last bit of Spring before they transitioned into their summer menu and I got their grilled sea scallops, along with their risotto and asparagus on the side. It was the perfect seafood entree as I was not feeling protein heavy. I loved the creamy risotto, and this dish did not feel heavy at all with it! The only thing I did not like was the wine pairing recommendation. There was enough space for us to place our gifts, and we were offered a complimentary mini dessert for the birthday girl. They also put a happy birthday card and little sign on the table which was a nice touch! I definitely will be dining at a Seasons 52 in my area as I want to try their summer menu. I appreciate a restaurant that incorporates local ingredients and is health conscious without sacrificing flavor. Amazing service as well, which is why my rating would be a 5!
Really, really loved Seasons 52! We've been coming to South Coast Plaza for years and somehow never knew this restaurant was here. It's a little hidden, so we probably would have continued walking right past it if it hadn't been recommended to us. I'm so glad we finally found it because we absolutely loved everything. We ordered the sea bass, surf and turf, crab cakes, garden salad, and a couple of desserts, and everything was delicious and tasted so fresh. I also really appreciated how many healthier options there were without it feeling like a "health food" restaurant. The portions were a really good size too, and we left completely satisfied. The sea bass was definitely one of the highlights. It reminded me a little of the miso cod you get at some of the popular Japanese restaurants, but the piece of fish was thick, perfectly cooked, and the flavors were so well balanced. So good! Honestly, we were so happy with our experience and even happier that we now know Seasons 52 is here. If you're shopping at South Coast Plaza, don't overlook this place. We'll definitely be coming back! Also amazing service! I did not know its owned by capital grille which makes sense bc the ambiance is a little more laid back but had the same vibe if that makes sense.
Came here to celebrate a special occasion. Its located right at the South Coast Mall. First time. Here's the rundown: * Host/Server was friendly and greeted us * Nice dark ambience with comfy booth seating * they included a card and voucher for free small plate on a future visit which was nice Food ratings * Lobster Bisque (2/5) - it came broken which was not visually appealing. Had to stir it. Flavor wise it was very mid. Tiny pieces of lobster which I dont mind but wish the bisque tasted better and more like lobster. * Scallops Risotto (5/5) - my wife enjoyed this. Good portion with like 7 scallops and risotto with corn. Grilled. Clean. Not oily or buttery. I tried it. Great value. 5/5 * Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail entree (3/5) - Filet was cooked nice Medium Rare. But tbh it wasnt the most flavorful or softest. Honestly it was very mid for me. It came with tiny potatoes but wish it was mashed potatoes instead. The small lobster tail was good. If you go across the street to Morton's, the filet is way better and flavorful. * Lobster tail (4/5) - appreciate you can order as a side item and not cost an arm and a leg ($14). For the price its good. Overall the seafood was a hit. The steak was a miss. But the service was friendly and attentive. So I give it 4 stars.
Good food, great service, beautiful restaurant! Stopped by for dinner with the wife to spend a gift card she got and were very satisfied. I'll start off by saying thank you Grayson! He was such a great server, on top of refills, clearing the table, getting orders in, checking on food that hadn't come out yet, and awesome conversation. He made the evening perfect. The dining area is on the dark side, quite intimate honestly, and very upscale feeling. There's a large bar area too if you're just looking for a couple drinks. We started with a plate of artichoke hearts, radishes, celery, preserved lemon hummus, and olives. It was very good and a nice start to the meal. Also ordered the caramelized brussels sprouts which were good. The best starter however were the lump crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms with creamed spinach and panko bread crumbs. My picture does not do them justice, they were perfect! Very tasty, a slight crunch, and quite hot right out of the oven. I got the cedar plank salmon with French green beans and asparagus. My wife got the 6oz filet mignon with the same veggies. The salmon was cooked perfectly, still juicy inside, very hot, and just the right amount of flakey. The filet was also cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and tender. All our veggies were tasty and fresh. They have a ton of cocktails, wine, and beer to choose from. The drinks we got were made well and delicious. I will absolutely go back often especially to try their other seasonal menus.
We visited Seasons 52 for Father's Day weekend, and overall it was a great experience. It was a bit of a drive for us, but the location was worth it. Being connected to the mall made parking a little hectic, but thankfully I made an OpenTable reservation, so getting seated was easy. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, with a spacious layout that offered several dining areas. They also have a beautiful outdoor patio with heat lamps, which looked perfect for cooler evenings. Our server was friendly and helpful, although the service felt a little rushed at times. The food was good overall. I ordered the steak, as I usually do, but I wasn't a fan of the marinade or sauce it came with. The flatbread pizza selections were very tasty, sorry I didn't get any pictures this time around. The highlight of the meal was definitely dessert. Their signature mini dessert cups were creative, beautifully presented, and just the right size to satisfy a sweet craving without overdoing it. I've actually been to Seasons 52 before in Chicago years ago, and it was nice to see the quality is still there. Next time, I'll branch out and try a different entrée to get the full experience. Until next time... this has been "The Kendall Experience."
Are you went for a birthday dinner or my brother-in-law at seasons 52 we've been here before this was excellent. He said try the lamb and I did. It was delicious. Also had a Caesar salad also excellent then we tried the mini desserts. They were excellent. Also service was also very very good seated right away once we got there. It's such a warm restaurant inside. My wife had a filet mignon dinner. It also looked great. Thanks again for a wonderful evening.
Such an incredible spot to go to for a special day! We celebrated my birthday at Seasons and had such an amazing time! We ordered all sorts of dishes like their Mac n' cheese, loaded potatoes, shrimp filled mushrooms, pesto chicken flatbread, gnocchi, side scallops, and their strawberry spinach salad! The highlights were definitely the scallops as well as the loaded potatoes. For people who are health conscious, this spot is amazing because they keep each dish under 600 calories. It definitely makes for a guilt-free experience to enjoy tasty food! I'm looking forward to my next visit!
I've probably only been here less than 5 times. The last time was for a birthday for a table of 9. I showed up first and checked in with a cake at the front. The table was set up and ready to go. The party trinkled in within 15 minutes. We ordered drinks and appetizers to start. We had several appetizers including the grilled artichoke, 2 flatbread pizzas, stuffed mushrooms, and the tuna poke. Who knew artichoke could be so delicious? I definitely wouldn't be able to make it that way at home. I also enjoyed the stuffed mushroom and although several people said the tuna didn't taste fresh, I thought it was decent. We ordered an array of entrees as well. I ordered the scallops and added on a lobster tail for $14 which i thought was a good deal. The party agreed the portions here were generous. I was expecting to receive 3-5 pieces of scallops in my entree, but it actually came with 7 pieces and some risotto and asparagus. I was able to share the scallops with friends so that they could enjoy it too. I was very full by the end of the meal, but we ordered 3 dessert glasses to try out and we had a birthday cake to share. I would add that my lemon drop cocktail was not sweet, so I asked to have it remade sweeter and they were able to accommodate just fine. When the cake came out, the restaurant provided candles which was nice and the birthday person got an additional dessert glass and birthday candle to blow out. The only thing is we had to ask for dessert plates and knife/utensils after the cake was brought out and was sitting for awhile. My phone ran out of batteries during the meal, so I wasn't able to take as many pics. The meal was great though and I would consider coming back!
Grabbed a barstool during happy hour! We had a darling bartender who was on it! Got some great happy hour goodies like their flatbreads, ahi, lamb chops and the crab cakes. Everything was great! And a little $7 glass of vino. Not too shabby!
the sea scallops were perfectly charred with smokiness and the meat was still tender, not overcooked. the pork chops were highly recommended and super tender and flavorful. tried a variety of mini cakes w/ my favorite being the key lime pie. i do wish for all the cakes with the "shortbread/pie" crust part had some butter so it didn't just become a crumble when trying to scoop it out to eat. had a table outside which was quieter and stayed warm with the nearby heating lamps.

The best TEXT of the week. A concierge meetup with our dear Betty Galzen who left us to work in Arizona. Where to go! Back to Seasons 52. Centrally located, lots of parking, good happy hour menu. A Plus, Plus, Plus for all of us who were coming from both North County and South County. We had 5pm reservations. No problem getting a good table in the bar area big enough for the 7 of us. We arrived at different times , but the handsome Cooper made sure we were always on his radar. He was fun, congenial and never made us feel as if we were an inconvenience, despite the fact our Happy Hour lasted till after 8pm. Susan and I ordered Pesto, chicken and mozzarella and lobster and avocado flatbreads, wood-grilled steak lettuce wraps, cup of butternut squash soup, wine and a flavored margarita. Our friends ordered lump crab cakes, plus wine and cokes. No one left hungry!!! Think we will probably meet here again in five months when our sweet Betty comes back and we celebrate FRIENDSHIP. Thank you to our Heather Dahl Ellis who gets us all together. We love you read more

Love this place. We had reservations at 6 PM on Sat. night. It was super busy but we were seated on time. The hostess outside, the waitress, and wait staff were very friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful bottle of Cambria Chardonnay with our Lump Crab and Shrimp-Stuffed Mushrooms. As an entree we both had the Caramelized Grilled Sea Scallops. Melt in your mouth. We sat outside which we like because it's a little quieter. Love this place!! read more

I was so happy when my fiancé took me here a few weeks ago, right after watching Phantom of the Opera musical, because the food here is amazing. The hostess was very nice and greeted us with a big smile so we definitely felt the warm welcome. As for our server, he was very professional and patient when explaining the menu and recommendations. I highly recommend dining here as a date as it gives a nice and classy vibe. I learned that their menu changes each season, hence the name of the restaurant, so we do plan to come back and visit each season to try out new dishes. read more

Got the crab cake, pesto chicken and mozzarella flatbread, cauliflower gratin, Brussels sprouts, tuna tartar to share and enjoyed everything. The cauliflower was a standout item, everything else I would get again but would be open to trying something different as well. For my main I got the scallops. They were nicely cooked, not chewy at all and had good flavor. I really enjoyed the risotto as well, it complemented the scallops well. I chose the raspberry chocolate chip cannoli for the mini dessert and really enjoyed it. I went for this one cuz I didn't want a super rich and heavy flavor, and this one had a nice balance of tartness and richness from the cannoli filling. Would definitely want to the other flavors next time because they really did all sound good. For cocktails, I got the Hawaiian pineapple cosmo and blood orange margarita. I loved that they left you with the shaker with the leftover extra of the cosmo. They didn't do that with the marg. I enjoyed both. I also tried my friends cucumber basil smash and surprisingly really loved that one and wanna get that one next time I go. It was a sweet, smooth, and refreshing taste rather than being actually cucumbery in flavor if that makes sense. Like the cucumber melon version of cucumber. Not much basil notes from my memory. read more

Always wonderful here. We usually sit at the bar and have met great people there. They have a great wine selection at reasonable prices and the food is great. I have the Alaskan Wild Butterfish - it was amazing. My hubby got the trout and really enjoyed it... I had a taste and like my butterfish better. read more
My colleague was in town and we met at Season 52 restaurant. It's a beautiful restaurant evoking classic style and ambience with a decor of dark wood and mood lighting at every table. I say all this because it's so noticeable upon walking in as most restaurants these days have a decor completely opposite. Also, they have outdoor seating as well. Still though it's about the food. First they boast that their menu is "seasonal"...highlighting items that are more likely found in season (in this case winter). It's not an overwrought menu, one page for everything...the opposite page for all the adult beverage options. For appetizers we shared: Cauliflower as gratin-think macNcheese without the Mac. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and delicious. For dinner: My colleague ordered the porcini mushroom soup and rated it among the best soups he's ever had and had the same sentiment for the pork chop entree. Me, I got the salmon ( on plank) with a side Cesar salad. I would say the the Cesar was the least impressive, it had croutons and lettuce and that's all that can be said. The salmon was cooked well and served with crispy beans and soft mini potatoes. Overall, a filling, delicious meal. Lastly, their desserts are small, compact and parfait style...offering a sweet ending to a meal while consuming something lower in calories(500 ish per parfait serving) than the average slice of dessert at other place. I chose the cannoli and peanut butter while my colleague chose the pecan...we both agreed they were delicious! This was my first time at this restaurant (as well as for my colleague) and we came away impressed and satisfied. The service was attentive and good...we got seated right away before our actual reservation time. Overall a great experience and if I'm in the area a place to recommend or return. read more
We had a large group of 9 for our monthly gathering. We sat outside and luckily no rain. It was a bit quieter outside so we could chat. Ordered a few of the flatbreads. The philly cheesesteak flatbread was my favorite. We also had the meatball appetizer which came with three meatballs. Again, very tasty and hearty. My main dish was a brined pork chop that was cooked perfectly, very tender and full of flavor. It reminded me of the Playground pork chop back in the day, but this was a much smaller version. The chop came with red cabbage and grapes. Had some wine with our meal as well. Overall, a good experience. read more

Located in South Coast Plaza, next to Capitol Grille- be careful of allotting extra time for parking because it can get pretty busy during dinner hours. Granted, I was in a bigger group, and so the service was predictably slow, but still, you wouldn't expect to have to wait about an hour and 20 minutes before we could put our order in from the menu Prices are reasonable for a higher-end restaurant, although the lamb chop that I ordered was prepared way overdone, considering the fact that I ordered it rare. It was more like medium to medium well. I also ordered a Caesar salad that was sizable volume, but on the definitive, salty side and a little overdressed. Service in ambience or top notch and I would definitely return but perhaps order a seafood dish instead. That's all read more

Food: 5* Service: 5* Ambiance: 5* Food Enjoyed happy hour (HH) here before watching the Wiz at Segerstrom Hall. The HH food was largely flatbreads. We ordered their chicken pesto flatbread, Chipotle BBQ shrimp, and the Philly cheesesteak flatbread. The chicken pesto was good, tasty, and well seasoned. Our favorite. The shrimp flatbread was ample, tasty, and well seasoned. Our second favorite of the three. The Philly cheesesteak was not. It was dry, flavorless and needed oil or truffle oil to make it work. We had the Cabernet Sauvignon 'sip' and Chardonnay 'sip'. The cab was great, fruity and tasty. The Chard was lackluster, no butter, no depth. But the portion of 'sip' was great. Very generous and worth the $7 each. Service Excellent at the bar. Very helpful, friendly, and attentive. T.J. Was particularly helpful never let our glasses get empty and very helpful about service and recommendations. The front desk ladies were less so. Dismissive when they knew we wanted to have Happy Hour. Like we weren't worth their time to help. Ambiance The setting is very pleasing. Cozy, upscale, and comfortable. read more
Dinner before the show! Excellent time, food and service. I had the Vegan Nocchi, so flavourful. Our server Michael was super attentive, helpful, and conscientiousof our time. Thank you for the great experience! We sat outside and the weather wad perfect. The heat lamps helped too. read more
Came to seasons 52 for my birthday and was not disappointed. My husband surprised me with dinner to begin. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and seated promptly once our full party had arrived. They were extremely friendly and had good conversation on the way to the table, unlike other places where it's just a follow the leader sort of style. It's always nice to ask how the day was even if it's just brief. I love to come during fall and winter because the seasonal items are some of my favorite. You really cannot go wrong with any of the food items or the drinks. I had the espresso martini and my husband got the seasonal old fashion which was very good! I forgot to take photos of the food. But I did get photos of the little personal touches they provide for special events. Like a sign and hand written note. Thank you seasons 52! read more

WOW!! Throughly impressed!!! It's been a hot minute since I've been there. The service was so great, very attentive. The restaurant is large and we went during the holidays so it was very festive. I had the seabass and it was one of the best I've had!! Perfectly cooked and presentation was great. The flatbread was also delicious!!! Their desserts are perfectly proportioned. read more

There was a lot of people waiting to get in but as we made reservations on open table we didn't have a wait. I enjoyed the thanksgiving meal option. It was done well and reasonably priced. My friend wasn't as hungry so he had the flatbread. I enjoyed my time and service was great read more
My sister from another mister lives in San Diego, so Season's 52 has become our go-to for celebrations. The quality of the food is consistently good, the martinis are perfect, and the exceptional service is also consistent. On a recent visit we received excellent service from bartender Ashley and our sever Jose. I noticed a message on the check that said, "Proudly served by" and that's true. The staff here do take pride in delivering great customer service. Thank you, Jose & Ashley, for another memorable dining experience. (Read my detailed review below from my first visit.) read more

There are many different restaurants to choose from when you are headed over to the theater. We always come back to seasons 52 because it is a guarantee that you will have a delicious seasonal meal and it will be on time and they will get you out the door so that you do not miss your performance. We enjoyed so many wonderful seasonal taste sensations . read more
5 star food and service, but at a 3 star price! The wife and I enjoying special occasions here, especially Thanksgiving when not with family. The food is to die for, never had a bad meal! The coup de grâce is the desert! You'll never leave this place with a frown! I suggest you reserve a bar booth as the main floor can get noisy. But really who cares about the noise when the plate in front of you is screaming for you to eat it!!! read more
Always packed, always fabulous food. Reservations recommended after 5:30 pm, make them at least one day in advance, or two days in advance for Weekend night. It's located in an awkward corner of the mall. Excellent wine list, with pairing on the food menu. The Gnocci was piping hot and the mushrooms helped give it an earthy flavor. The salmon on cedar plank was cooked to perfection and the green beans were nice and crisp. The little spuds were tasty and melted in your mouth. The cauliflower at gratin was covered with a very nice cheese sauce. It's hard to pick from the menu, so many great options that change three times a year. read more
Located next to Bloomingdale's at the South Coast Plaza. Plenty of free parking however valet parking is also available. Outdoor seating available- however it is not pet friendly- service dogs are allowed-full bar that hosts a generous happy hour. Upscale, welcoming atmosphere with friendly attentive servers. Good menu variety, reasonable prices- the food was delicious and the dessert menu has yummy decadent choices in perfect servings that are guilt free. Great seasonal offerings. read more
I enjoyed this place! I thought it was more of a steakhouse but they seem to have more seafood than meat meat. It's located at south coast plaza, near wherr Capital Grille is. Not sure why I've never tried this place before! Thought it's a fancy place, but it's really not. The decor reminded me of an old diner with booths seating, with great attentive service. Filet mignon and lobster tail- a bit overcooked on the medium rare steak but lobster tail was perfectly cooked. It wasn't drenched in butter and not rubbery 8/10 Corn soup- surprisingly really good. It had bacon bites , but not many corn bits 9/10 Lump crab with shrimp in mushrooms- wow these were so good! It's a must try ! 10/10 Wood-Grilled Kona-Crusted Lamb Loin- very different than what I'm used to for lamb. It was seasoned thickly like a steak. A bit overcooked from medium rare, Not gamey . But the mashed potatoes and asparagus was very good. 7.5/10 Cocktails were also made very well! Didn't have a lot of choices for my land/meat likings but I enjoyed what I ordered! read more

I asked for my fish without garlic and onion, and our amazing server, Laura, and the wonderful chef provided the most delicious Seabass! My husband also enjoyed his filet mignon. We'll be back! read more

We celebrated 2 birthday party's here and it was all 1st timers. There were 7 of us, we made reservations the day before & check in was smooth sailing. Our awesome waitress Tiffany was very friendly & accommodating. My 90yr mom & 17yr old daughter enjoyed their Birthday here. One of our best dinner experiences in a very long time. This is now our new favorite restaurant for any occasion. The atmosphere is welcoming & upscale feel. All the staff here works perfectly as a team & in harmony. And most importantly is the food it's exceptional for the value & beautiful presentation is a bonus. Can't wait to be back & try other delicious meal. read more

Is there entertainment in the bar?
No. Years ago there used to be a piano player but that has since been removed.
Hi, has anyone had a lunch event hosted in the outdoor area in July? They don't have fans and I want to make sure th weather is bearable Thanks?
Their outdoor seating is quite nice. Afternoon should be ok because the restaurant is facing east so the sun is already behind the building by then.
What's the corking fee at your restaurant?
I have been looking for same thing today. I eat there several times a month but usually for lunch and do not bring a bottle. I found one website on O.C. corkage fees which said $15.00 but these sites are notoriously wrong or out of date. I do know…
Is there a private dining room with a TV for projecting a powerpoint? How quiet is the room for doing a dinner seminar on a Tuesday or Thursday night?
Yes there is a private dining room and projection screen. The rooms are very quiet any day of the week with doors closed.
How is the Noise level, for people hard of hearing?
I would say it depends on the time you go. I went late afternoon and sat in bar section and could it wast to bad. As it got busier it did get louder, but still could hear. The dining room section unfortunately I can't give the best info for you.

Lunch entrees range from $15 - $18.
Do you have a pre fixed menu?
Is there a private dining room for family celebration?
Yes! I would call in advance to reserve the room.
What are menu prices?
Are you looking for specific prices or a range? Appetizers and small plates usually $12-$15. Entrees usually $18-$25 depending on the protein.
We heard it is very noisy?
It's a popular restaurant, and I imagine when it's busy it may be loud. I am sensitive to noise and the noise level has never bothered me.
Are dogs allowed in the outdoor patio?
Is the piano player back yet?
