We had our Christmas Eve dinner at the Fifth Season. I received a call ahead of time inquiring about food allergies which was necessary for our party. We sat upstairs (notified in advance that we would be seated upstairs) and the room was lively and festive. The menu had something for everyone (including vegan options) even though it was a holiday menu. Our waitress was aware of the food allergy issues and double checked some of the items ordered. She was wonderful! Our meals were delicious from start to finish! All in all a special holiday experience!
