Seasons 52 is a new kind of restaurant. The food is fresh, the tastes are seasonally inspired, and every single menu item is 475 calories or less. Seasons 52 is only in a handful of states and we are lucky enough to have one here in the valley. Wendy and I recently had an opportunity to dine at Seasons 52. We both loved it and wanted to share it here with our readers.
The atmosphere at Seasons 52 is warm and inviting. It is very nice and a little upscale, but welcoming at the same time. The service was friendly and professional and the servers seemed to really enjoy their jobs. We went at lunch time and had absolutely delicious meals.
I ordered the Grilled Boneless Rainbow Trout which comes with new potatoes, roasted vegetables and broiled lemon. It was the best fish I have had in a restaurant in a long time (except for the tilapia at Red Lobster). By the way, Darden Restaurants owns both Red Lobster and Seasons 52. The vegetables that came with this meal were amazing. They were perfectly prepared, bright, and made my mouth very happy. I could have eaten two of these meals.
Wendy ordered the Garlic Chicken Flatbread with balsamic onions, roasted red peppers and mozzarella cheese. Wendy said the flatbread was unbelievably delicious. It was perfectly prepared and the crust was just right. This flatbread made a great lunch, but it would also be a great appetizer for dinner.
The food at Seasons 52 is so good that you would never guess the meals are under 475 calories. Everything is fresh and no butters or creams are used.
Seasons 52 also offers desert, or what they call “mini indulgences.” These come in 18 flavors including Key Lime Pie, Old Fashioned Carrot Cake, Rocky Road, Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse, Mocha Macchiato and Pecan Pie. They also offer seasonal flavors such as Pumpkin Pie Mini with Double Gingersnap Crust in the Fall.
Although Wendy and I did not partake, Seasons 52 also offers 100 selections of wine and many other drinks such as a chocolate and espresso martini.
Dining at Seasons 52 was an enjoyable experience. We will certainly be returning.
