Super delicious, classy & healthy!!! Seasons 52, healthy noms with consistency across the nation, Yaasss! When we moved down here from Chicago, we were sad to give up one of our favorite places, but then we discovered we had one right here in Tampa, we were elated. We always get sent giftcards for here from our parents for our anniversary/birthdays so we go all the time and always spend much more than we set out, but its so hard not to try everything, we love the ever changing menu!! I am absolutely in love with the Ricotta Raviolis, and chefs Derek Moore & Dan Cusack by now knew me by name, because I am quite obsessed. The staff is so personable and friendly, we always feel welcome. I am ever grateful to Craig who helped me discover my new favorite wine, a RED that was effervescent & slightly sweet, which was so perfect, because I rarely like reds! It was compared to a what a Red Moscato would be, but neither of us knew how to pronounce the name "Quercioli..." something...but its amazing! All the beverages I ever get here are delicious, my other favorites being the Watermelon Agua Fresca, the Red Sangria, and my go-to favorite (which I still dont know what its called but Ive been getting for years) is a sparkly raspberry & mint concoction, no alcohol, just deliciously refreshing! Weve tried so many dishes over the years, one of my favorites is no longer in circulation, but I hope & pray they bring back the Goat Cheese, Fig & Basil appetizer, it is one of my ALL TIME favs, and I miss it dearly! My husband always goes for the Ahi Tuna salad, its divine! We are mostly pescatarian, but have tried some other items before, like the Chicken Pesto flatbread is pretty tasty, as is the artichoke flatbread. I have gotten the Cedar Plank Salmon with roasted Veggies the past few times, and I usually can only eat small portions before becoming full, but I always want a tidge more after finishing this yummy dish. Ive tried the Sea Scallops (my mothers FAVORITE dish), and Risotto, which I surprised myself because normally I am not such a big fan, but it was mighty tasty! I usually like to try their seasonal soups, and the chilis are usually good, but the runnier soups like I believe was the butternut squash, leaves something to be desired, its missing something.... Then, for dessert, when you are greeted with the the selection of mini indulgences... youll want to take them all...they are heavenly. The chocolate smore/mousse/cake combo is definitely my favorite, but the Key Lime and Crème Brûleé are good too. Seasons 52 never disappoints, and we always look forward to coming here! We dont normally go to chain-restaurants, but this one has us coming back for more!

When you walk in the restaurant it seems a bit pretentious with the random fire to your right, of which I liked; but sadly when the food arrives it doesnt match the same level of quality as their inviting decor. The hostess that sat my party of four was friendly as was our waitress, they both gave cheap smiles, and did her best to pretend that they were happy to be working there. However, when I got my meal 17 minutes later, by the speed in which it arrived I could ascertain that I was in fact not in a fine dining restaurant. My foodie friends and I didnt have anytime to discuss our experience before we were being forced to digest our meals. I ordered the goat cheese raviolis and I was very disappointed. The raviolis were overcooked, the cheese was liquefied in the center, and then placed on the plate in an very messy liquidity, chaotic fashion, that gave the impression that the chef is bored, bored to be cooking 425 calorie lunches. The caloric counting idea is a novel concept but not one to approach without giving it some serious thought. I felt like I was at a Jenny Craig meeting, I am in very good shape, and I expected the food to be just as delectable as their inviting interior design promises. Unfortunately, my overall experience fell flat, even the desserts are small, while tasty, yet forgettable in the sea of restaurants that make up Tampa Bays gastronomy of good eats. The manager took my criticisms well and promised to pass it along to the chef, I have my doubt that theyll make any significant changes, and thus I see this restaurant having trouble getting repeat customers.

Seasons 52 is one of those classy yet affordable (by most standards) places that has the added novelty of not being on every other corner. I can appreciate the scarcity of being surprised when I notice a Seasons 52 somewhere. During my visit there was a bowl to drop a business card in to win a drawing for free drinks and hors devours for an hour or two for 10 people - and to my surprise I won! I got a call from the manager a couple weeks later letting me know. When food is served here, it looks very classy and higher end, and I was pretty content with a few easily adaptable / already acceptable food choices to fit my dietary values - I eat a vegan diet. Their buddha bowl was delicious, and I forget what the alternatives I was choosing from were. The service was excellent - our server was attentive, but not overly present either, to where we were constantly being asked the same questions or goaded to get the check and clear out. Servers who can read their guests enough to know how needy they are can be hard to find, but I just felt ours got it. Nice place!

Ok must have been a bad night but went with a large party for my brothers Birthday. Started at the bar when I ordered a White Russian for my girl and they where out of half and half. So no go. Then reservation was for 8:15 seated us at 8:40. Dinner appetizers arrived around 9:40 Ordered a rack of lamb and it was far from inspirational. Over cooked and tough. Not very kid friendly as far as selection. Pasta was it but you know they want Chicken Tenders( Fried) Not here . Not a fryer on the property. Waited on drink service the entire night. Empty glasses was the norm. Meals served 5 minutes before Steak Knives actually arrived. Birthday boy had to send his Filet back for being overcooked and basically didnt start eating until most of us were finished. They even brought out a cake with no candles which arrived fashionably late like the rest of the service. We had 16 in our party and probably dropped a thousand dollars collectively. Would have been nice to have had a better experience.

My wife and I had dinner at Seasons 52 last night. It was the best restaurant experience Ive had in years. Very nice decor. We sat at the bar and had a drink while waiting for our dinner. Bartenders and drinks were great. For dinner we had a booth by the bar, which was private and romantic. Our server Tiffany was very good, and the food was superb. My wife is a vegetarian. She had the artichoke and goat cheese flatbread as the appetizer and the goat cheese ravioli. Both were very good. I had the Lump Crab, Roasted Shrimp & Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms under Parmesan-panko crust appetizer and the Caramelized Grilled Sea Scallops for my entree. They were just superb. Chef Jameson came by our table soon after we were seated to welcome us and presented us with a tasty salmon appetizer for me and returned with a tasty, spicy grape tomato for my wife. Great dinner and great experience. Thanks guys.
