    We went to Seasons 52 for my birthday lunch. They went above & beyond to make it a special meal. Restaurant was crowded with large holiday parties yet our food came out quickly. The manager made it a point to stop by every table to check that everyone was enjoying themselves. I will continue to take my friends and family there for special occasions.

    On a date night, my husband and I were seated at a table at the far end of the restaurant. It was a bit noisy passing by the bar area, however we weren’t at all bothered by it from where we sat. Danielle was our server and was very attentive the entire evening. We both got the Manchego salad and Salmon Oscar- which were superb! For dessert, we shared the tartufo - would highly recommend it! We love the Metro!
