    Seasons52 always seems to please, whichever one we have chosen to visit (Massachusetts, Florida, California). On a busy Friday afternoon, we were seated promptly. Despite the crowds, staff were attentive, warm and welcoming. Noise level was not a problem and the pleasant atmosphere adds to the experience . We came here because the food is always good and there is a decent variety of dishes at reasonable prices . Good selection of wines, too. So much to choose from, but the shrimp and grits always hits the spot . While there are many good restaurants in the area, this one is always a safe bet.

    The foie gras and caviar blinis were spectacular. The shrimp pesto was disappointing and the Bronzino was only OK. The next table ordered lamb chops, and it looked very good. We will be back but next time order different main courses.
