We came here for family dinners as it had an extensive menu and everyone could find something to eat. It was a big place and usually not too loud. However, on weekends, when they had live music, it was too loud for us. For appetizers, our favorite was the Roasted Roma Tomato flatbread. The dough was thin and crispy and topping flavorful. However, the more expensive Lobster flatbread was not as good. Grilled chicken skewers were good also. Perhaps because we had too much flatbread, we were not too hungry when the main courses came. The Boneless short ribs were dry and Grilled Scallops bland. They had Seafood Paella on the menu but was never avaiable. Their desserts were all in small shot glasses, mostly different flavors of mousse, and expensive for their small size. They need to have more varieties (type and form) of desserts. They also had Vegetarian menu and vegan menu upon request.

This restaurant was recommended to us by a few people and we decided to check it out. Definitely a very unique concept in that the menu changes seasonally. However, one this that remains consistent is that they are known for their flatbread no matter the season. Its pretty packed on weekends and we had about a 45 minute wait so I would recommend making a reservation if possible. There was also live music with a piano player, which I really enjoyed. We started out with Artichoke and Laura Chenel Goat Cheese flatbread and while Im normally not a fan of goat cheese, this was very yummy! For our meals we ordered salads and I really enjoyed the Maui Tuna Crunch. The Ahi Tuna was excellent quality. Finally we finished with cute little dessert shots of the "Creme Brulee" and "Cannoli" flavors. Highly recommend for a date night or a group outing!

52 weeks in a year and represented uniquely by each of the four seasons. Seasons 52 offers an ambience with wooden decor of wine bottles & glasses hung upside down with a world-class quality kitchen viewable while waiting for food. I went with my family & enjoyed both the food & relaxing atmosphere. Similar to the set-up of P.F. Changs, Seasons 52 separates itself by changing the menu based on the current season. Therefore, complementing each dish uniquely with seasonal herbs. Our server, Matt was superb in explaining the current menu, recommended dishes to eat & was attentive to our needs. Located at the entrance of Menlo Park Mall, it is a must to visit-- whether to eat or engage in social ambiance with a small group.

Too much $ for very very bland food. The vegetarian tasting was bland, unsalted, and the "vegan steak" tasted like an unseasoned potato. The vegan paella is bland and sticky. Has no spice whatsoever. The onion it comes with is literally just that...an onion. The actual steak was cold and the salad was basically tasteless. The spaghetti was also cold. I think the only thing I enjoyed was the soda lol. Would never come back or recommend. Tasteless. Smh. Also the live music was honestly not very good. The dessert was really small and wasnt amazing per say. Funny how theres only one pasta dish on the menu. The salmon had more salad than anything. I left hungry. Im shook.

While the restaurant is very nice, do not expect to be surrounded by an upscale crowd. The general customer base seems to be one step above olive garden. As for service and food quality, I would go four even four point five. My experience did end however at the bar where once the evening winds down, the fast paced bartender feel that restocking and cleaning take much more precedence than a customer. I was passed numerous times by bartenders who clearly wanted noting more than to go home. While I would have been. A regular enjoying $150.00 caymus wine, I understand clearly why I spend my money at locally owned establishments.

We stopped here on Easter Sunday, not knowing anything about the restaurant. I have to say that I would be giving higher rating if my husband and I were not looked at like two hobos upon walking in the door. The group of hostesses and what I can only assume was a manager, due to his suit and tie, had an attitude that assumed that we should check the menu prices before being seated. To be honest we almost walked out right then, but that would be judging the entire establishment based on a few misguided employees. Our waitress was lovely and the food was very fresh and delicious. Despite that, I do not know that I would return.

Dined for a graduation dinner on Mothers day, and only had to wait ~15-20 minutes post-reservation. The round booth was an unexpected but pleasant surprise, and served to help prevent awkward seating arrangements. The only drawback was the confusing presentation of the sampler tray of desserts at the end that left us unsure if they were samples merely meant to entice a purchase of a larger dessert, or if they themselves were the purchased dessert ( it, of course, was the latter, but after cocktail or two its easy to be confused by the phrasing).

My family celebrated a Birthday party. We all enjoyed our food, which was all great quality. Our server was attentive and nice to speak with. I believe a slower Monday night gives them a chance to speak more to the folks at the table. The piano player behind the bar, Rich, was amazing. We sang along to a few tunes. The place is noisy enough that a little singing doesnt bother anyone. Portions were "right sized" so you could actually enjoy appetizer to desert, with a couple drinks, and not feel all bloated. Use the free valet parking!

Very nice atmosphere. We sat in the piano bar section and there was a live singer/pianist performing. However both me and my girlfriend became sick afterwards. I ordered the tuna/avocado roll and she had scallops. During dinner my neck and chest became flushed followed by a stomach ache. I never have food allergies but something messed me up. I took some benedryl and felt better after a few hours. My girlfriend also got a stomach ache. The tuna roll itself wasnt the best. Id go back but definitely staying away from any seafood there.

not sure what all the hype is about here, a majority of these 4 star+ reviews must be frequent Applebees and TGIF fliers. This place is over priced for starters, food is sub par, bland, and small portions. Its a failed attempt at a NYC trendy, local harvest, upscale restaurant experience. I tried it twice just to make sure I was being facetious. Maybe next season

I travel a lot for my job and whenever there is a Seasons 52 in town I will eat there. The menu is great with many fresh options. I love their cedar plank salmon and the salads are great too. I always sit at the bar and service / friendliness can be hit or miss but the bar staff at this location were particularly wonderful.

I love Seasons 52! My favorite area is the bar where you can grab a table & listen to the piano play in the background while having a great bottle of wine and a delicious meal. The service is amazing and I have only had wonderful experiences there. Top of off with a mini dessert with little guilt for the calorie count.

Went in to celebrate a birthday. Waited for a while before getting served. Did not give us a piece of bread while waiting for the meal. Ordered meat and the only thing that came with the meat was a small piece of smashed potatoes. Very expensive on top of it. Will never recommend this place to anybody.
