Seasons 52

We have been to Season 52 at the UTC Mall on many occasions over the years and never left a review. Last night, our family was shopping at the mall and decided to have dinner at Season 52 because this restaurant serves rotating seasonal American specialties/dishes. Also, we didn’t need advanced reservation on a busy Saturday evening at a fancier American seafood/steak restaurant. We were seated within 5 minutes of arrival. The interior has a warm and relaxed vibes. Our server brought us menu immediately and told us that they just changed it to their Spring menu. Some of us are lactose intolerant and we were surprised that the server brought us the lactose free, gluten free, vegan menu. Server told us that the chefs could make adjustment to the main menu dishes to meet our needs. We were pleased to know that. Also, server told us that they use butter very sparingly, if used at all because most of their dishes are under 590 calories per dish. We ordered the thin-crust pesto chicken and fresh mozzarella flat bread, slow-roasted grass fed beef meatballs in tomato basil sauce and grilled artichoke with lemon hummus as starters and they were brought up very promptly. Server also brought the complimentary pizza bread. For the main entrees, we ordered grilled salmon with salad, caramelized grilled sea scallops with mascarpone risotto and asparagus, wood-grilled dry-rubbed pork chop with lemon-honey glaze and Philly grilled steak flat bread and a bowl of Mac “n” cheese in parmesan panko, provolone cheese sauce. Our dinner was delicious and well prepared with just one minor exception: some of the rice grain in the risotto wasn’t cook all the way. Our server was very friendly, professional, attentive and helpful and made us all felt welcome. She even brought out orange slices, upon request, for one of our younger family members and didn’t make us pay for the orange slices. We didn’t expect this level of service in a busy establishment on a Saturday evening during rush hours. Kudos to the management for hiring the right server! This restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seatings and private dining spaces for larger groups. The outdoor patio has a very cozy fireplace which makes this an ideal place to have good conversation with friends and family and people watching. Interior has a very classy, easy decor with a bar in the middle of the dining area. The food is consistently good through the years. We will continue to eat at this restaurant.

The food was good. I wish their sea bass was gluten-free or could be made that way. They have a gluten-free cannoli that I was really excited about! Unfortunately, it doesn't have a shell and is just the filling. At least I got a little souvenir glass from the dessert since I got it to go.
