    Chicken vegetable soup, lobster roll, loaded baked potato and brownie sundae were delicious and plenty for 2 adults to share. A very short wine list. The other guests at our table enjoyed the rib eye and salmon.

    My wife and her good friend dined here for lunch, which they each enjoyed, as always. Nice ambiance, comfy booth, solid service. The food is always very good at Seasons 52. My wife’s friend started with a fall special soup (squash+) and had the chicken pesto flatbread (I’ve had it in the past….good stuff). My wife ordered the Ahi tuna Maui crunch salad, which became a little story. She requested dressing on the side. The kitchen messed up and not only dressed the salad but they “overdressed” it. Their excellent(!) server, Darrell, apologized and was prepared to have the kitchen redo it, but my wife adroitly asked for more greens to essentially delete the dressing. A generous portion of greens was delivered, my wife loved the result, the restaurant didn’t have to toss out an overdressed salad…victory all around. Seasons 52 remains one of our upscale casual dining go-to joints. It’s special and deserves all its success.
