Seasons 52 - New American Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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." read more

Seasons 52 - New American Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

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! read more

This might be my new favorite restaurant. It is nicely decorated inside and it feels upscale. Cooper our server, was great. He made some great recommendations and our drink glasses were never empty. I had the pork chop and the water melon salad. Both were great. My wife had the wild salmon and it was delicious. I like how all the dishes were really low calorie and healthy. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Seasons 52 - We made "all gone" with everything! - New American Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

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. 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

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

This Seasons 52 location is phenomenal. I recently went here for my best friend's birthday dinner. My boyfriend and I split the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly. The portions are a little small, but the food is healthy, with all the calories listed on the menu & ambiance is quite romantic with low lighting and comfortable booths. Our waitress even brought us a plethora of small dessert shooters to celebrate my friend at the end- everything tasted great! 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.

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

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

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

Seasons 52 - Scallops and the Sea Bass - New American Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

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

Happy hour was great with their $14 flatbread and sip menu at the bar. Enjoyed my Cosmo. We both ordered our filet mignon medium and it was brought to us 90% well done. My partner didn't want to make a big deal about it. I did mention it to our waitress when she asked how our meal was. The manager came over which we appreciated. At the very end of our meal there was a couple with a head turning two year-old who was very loud and disruptive. The embarrassed mother brought the child outside twice and when we were exiting we saw one of the assistant managers happily interacting with the child and couple. It was a very pleasant scene to see that involvement. read more

Came here with my brother visiting from WA since this is one of our go to places to swing by for a delicious meal. We had a very nice dinner out on the patio where we enjoyed the roasted brussel sprouts, the scallops and risotto, the Chilean Seabass and the pork chop. My Chilean Seabass was amazing, a definite 5. My husband's pork chop was supposed to be cooked to a medium but it was more medium well so not quite as tender as he would have liked so he gave it a 3. My brother enjoyed his scallops too which is one of my "go to" dishes. We finished off our meal with a carrot cake dessert which we love the small sized desserts, just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. All in all a great meal here. One thing to note, today it took a while for our food to come out which is unusual. I'm not sure if they were trying to accommodate the tables that were going to a nearby play but we waited a good 35-40 minutes so I would rate the promptness of service a 2.5 today. All in all I still think Seasons 52 is a solid 4. read more

I've been meeting my cousin for lunch here once a month, so I thought I'd better get to reviewing it! I've never had unacceptable service nor disappointing food. This time, we shared the crab cake as an appetizer. It had just the right ratio of crab meat to what holds the cake together, and it was delicious! My cousin had the spinach and strawberry salad, she added a skewer of scallops, which were cooked to perfection. I ordered the wood-grilled tenderloin salad, it was chock full of wonderful things: corn, red peppers, cherry tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, along with the lettuce and fresh spinach, and the beef was tender and cooked perfectly! We saved room for dessert, a bargain at $4, each little concoction is so rich that the serving is just enough. The menu changes seasonally, and each dish is guaranteed not to exceed 585 calories! It's worth the trip to South Coast Plaza! 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
