Seasons 52

Been dining here many times, never a bad meal, or poor service. .Always top notch
We’ll keep coming back.

Lovely atmosphere, great tasting drinks and foods. Bar tenders know how to take care of their customers, give you free snacks if you ask for it. And will even go extra mile to make sure aggrevated customers stay put and doesn’t immediately drive while dui. I would definitely be back here.

You can’t beat the energy and atmosphere at this very «unchain» chain. Wednesday night and I’m lucky to have gotten a spot at the huge bar. Try a specialty drink especially one that needs to be muddled. Can’t go wrong with any of the salads but shaved kale is a great change of pace. Tossed a coin and ordered the short rib. Great the way it was served with tiny parsnip and a horseradish sauce. Might have been slightly over cooked so a knife was needed but very enjoyable. Wish there was a site in Morris County.

Lunch on a Friday afternoon for 2. Our server Samantha was very friendly and attentive. We shared all our food. Artichoke and goat cheese flatbread was light and delicious! Asian glazed chicken skewers over kale salad was very good and the mahi mahi tacos were tasty. Best part? The fun and so good dessert shots! The décor is super nice. I will definitely come back for dinner with the hubby.

I needed a drink to forget spending too much money at the mall, so we stopped in for a snack. Here’s how it went…
1. We asked to be seated in the bar area and we were given a nice table. Our server was over-​the-​top helpful and friendly and pointed out the happy hour special. A wine flight, a glass of wine and a flatbread appetizer for $ 15. Yup… sign me up. My husband got an Old Fashioned complete with drunken cherries and a rock candy stirrer. Yum! Our server went off shift and introduced us to our next server, also very nice. We tipped the first guy and moved onto another round of wine flight, glass of wine and a different flatbread. Loved it all!
2. Now we’re on to some menu items and yup… another wine. My husband had duck, which he loved. I had grilled artichokes and a Greek Salad. The artichokes weren’t that good but the salad was fine. Nothing special.
3. Time for a little sobering dessert and out comes a tray of adorable little cakes in shot glasses. Key lime Pie for me and carrot cake for the husband. Both very sweet but yummy.
Our bill was about $ 100 — pretty good for all those drinks and all that food. I’m a fan.

Service was very attentive and precise. She was really making a point to give us her full attention, which was very nice.
Drinks came out pretty fast. Dinner was nice and hot. I was a little surprised on my over cooked carrots as seen on the picture, they were not appealing. The sauce was good. The best part of my dish was the grits. It was the best grits I have ever eaten. Short ribs were full of flavor but not at all what thought it would be. Dish presentation came be better.
I probably will go again to try something else.

Really enjoy the ambiance here! I often go for lunch or even happy hour they have a great menu! Everything on their menu is under 420 calories! They do this amazing flights and flats deal for $ 15 where you get three wine tastings a whole flatbread and whichever wine tasting you liked you get a whole glass!!! That’s an amazing deal! The bartender Jillian is hands down the best bartender I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! She’s always happy and so attentive! The whole vibe is great, they have a live singer playing the piano on the evenings during dinner. Definitely check it out!

This is my fourth or fifth time here in the past few years and I would say this is a very consistent experience. Specific to this visit we were here pretty early for a Saturday night using a quick reservation from open table, our party of three were seated immediately and well looked after by our waitress Lauren.
For the three of us (starving as we skipped lunch entirely) we ordered two appetizers. Chicken pesto flatbread which was very good and stuffed mushrooms which were a little salty — especially the shrimp in the stuffing.
My wife had the filet mignon for dinner and I had the shrimp and grits. The filet was slightly overdone for her request of medium rare more in the medium range. The seasoning of the meat was good but because of the not being especially tender and slightly overdone it did not wow her. The shrimp and grits was good. I especially liked the chorizo and flavor of the grits.
My sons plain pasta just isn’t worth discussing.
We both had decent desserts and overall very good service and a decent value overall made it a pleasant Saturday evening early dinner.

We were here for a friends birthday dinner and were shown to a private room. The staff was very courteous while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. The restaurant itself has a sophisticated air to it and true to its name it changes its menu according to the seasons. We were able to order from the winter menu and the choices were delightful. The staff was also very accommodating for the vegetarians in our party.
I ordered the garlic chicken pesto flatbread as well as the porcini mushroom bisque. Both were delicious, although if you’re looking for something more hearty those might not be a good choice. Both were flavorful and the flatbread had a healthy amount of arugula and chicken. The rest of my party also ordered the pork tenderloin that was finished perfectly and very juicy! The mashed sweet potatoes were also a hit.
At the end of our meal, we were presented with a board of mini shot glasses filled with desserts. Personally I enjoyed the s’mores and mocha. Both were smooth and creamy and the perfect end to a lovely dinner!
I really appreciate the menu that they have here that uses fresh ingredients and changes with the seasons, it’s very refreshing! I would definitely recommend coming here for special occasions or if you just want to treat yourself to something nice.

I’m a fan of this wonderfully sophisticated and quite unique restaurant. A beer swiller like me needs an occasional touch of class and this fits the bill nicely.
I can’t help, but to start with the specialty drink menu, I dig the jalapeños Martini, what a surprising touch of heat remaining on the lips just as you reach the bottom of the glass. Several signature options to quench your flavor to savor. A tremendous selection of wine by the glass or better yet vintage bottles if you don’t mind dropping some coin.
The bar is an interesting oval of sorts with a small tuck in the middle where I’ve seen piano players; what a lovely touch especially on date night. Dining in the sectioned off fairly large room. Calm dimly lit setting a romantic mood, perfect for playing footsie or sneaking a grab under the table for you dirty old men, yeah baby. I love the water fall wall as you enter by the way.
I’m absolutely hooked on the flat bread pizzas, reason enough to pop in. They have several options including the wild mushroom, my favorite and oh so devine. Many healthy options including a calorie counter on each plate, so expect portion control, so that means order more apps. Yellow squash soup surprised me with the subtle hints of cinnamon or was it brown sugar, I’m not sure; I should’ve asked, but a nice hint of sweetness in slightly thicker base, hmm hmm. Duck wings, quack quack. The Bronzini with a tender fillet blanketed with a crispy skin was tantalizing. Oh those short ribs. The entire menu clearly focused on forward thinking health conscious dining, smart. The prices are a bit on the higher side and yes you can lighten your wallet if you splurge on the magnificent drink options combined with multiple apps to satiate a man’s size hunger.
Warm and inviting with typically exceptional product educated servers. Super clean with many individual dumping stations in the commode.
Perfect when one desires more then a draft and wings. Leave the sweats behind for choice pocket square gents and skirt for the ladies although this is a causal relaxed environment. Occasionally I enjoy painting the town rouge leaving the kids home although they’re welcome. So, come in and be wowed.

I cannot believe that I haven’t written a review about this place sooner. This is my second time at this location. I love Seasons 52 and will follow them in every city if I could. My first experience with this restaurant was while on vacation in San Diego California. It’s always best to make reservations.. I always do that. Either directly with the restaurant or through OpenTable reservations. You receive points when you make it through Open Table. Just be sure to let them know if it’s open table reservations because they have a different check in I do believe.
My server name was Jaime and he was very efficient and constantly checked on us to make sure everything was ok. The food is sooo healthy and they try to stay under a certain amount of calories. Let me just say if you’re looking for comfort food with high seasonings and a lot of calories. Then Seasons 52 is not the place for you. If you want high quality food with limited seasonings and more vegetables than give them a try and they have the best deserts ever !! Nice selection of wine and mixed drinks. I love Seasons 52 wine selection. It’s the best! As well as the Salmon with the Dill sauce. Omgg so good! I finally switched up my menu to try the pork tenderloins and it was definitely worth it! of course l will be back to my regular menu on my next visit at my location in Columbia maryland. This restaurant has a very romantic setting which l love but it also works well for family and friends.. Enjoy! !

I’ve been here multiple times at this point and each time has been a consistent presentation of quality food and service. Great variety on the drink menu.
Appetizer:
–Crab lump, roasted shrimp, and spinach stuffed mushroom: x6 ping pong sized treats coated in panko-​parm. It was hard to make out all the stuffing components but still good for a few bites
–Duck lollipops: a very fun, sweet sauce that will absolutely lead to messy fingers and napkins, delicious but avoid on your date
–Tuna tartare: a staple for my family for its size and great taste, just sweet enough largely because of the mango, lasts long enough to carry you to your entrée
Entrée:
–Lobster pappardelle: although I didn’t have it, I must say I observed it was a huge dish.
–Tenderloin pork: excellent cut (3 thick slices) very lean, cuts easily with the slightest bit of resistance and cooked evenly. There’s enough sweet potato mash to accompany every little bite.
Dessert:
–Raspberry cannoli: the cream is really just cannoli filling and its fun to nibble on the shell with tiny bites. Beats the mess and giant gulps of a cream when tackling a true cannoli.
Do anticipate a wait if your not able to place a reservation. The parking is a bit frustrating because half the lot has been designated for valet parking.

I always have a good experience at Seasons 52!
Their red sangria was excellent and this is coming from someone who is typically picky about it.
For an appetizer I split the chicken pesto flatbread, which was much less salty than the Bridgewater location, so I was pleasantly surprised.
I tried the caramelized scallops (which Ive never tried scallops before) but they were melt-​in-​your-​mouth delicious! The side of broccoli is a good light choice for this dish.
The desserts never disappoint. I dug my spoon into the carrot cake — this is the stuff dreams are made of. However, I did try my dads chocolate peanut butter and that one lacked flavor.

I had the chance to eat here while visiting a friend for his birthday.
Things I loved:
1. Service. Our server was amazing! She was always attentive and made sure we had what we needed. She was a delight!
2. My entrée. I enjoyed the scallop entrée and it filled me up pretty good. I also enjoyed a flatbread as an app. I really liked their seasonal beets. The lobster accompaniment is a great idea too. I love lobster and don’t usually get the surf and turf option that restaurants usually offer.
3. You get a personalized photo for your birthday that they print on the spot and complete it with a cute flower. I love that, better than a group of servers singing to you.
Things that could improve:
1. The hostess area. I noticed that while the hostess was very nice, it was a bit disorganized and there were too many people clogging the waiting area. Not the hostess fault because she was mad busy but it can be frustrating to experience as a customer.
Other than that, a great experience thanks to our server and the great atmosphere.

It’s good not great. As someone else mentioned it’s like a slightly upscale Olive Garden. They serve healthier fare here obviously but they’re not particularly incentive and the whole restaurant seems to have a bar/​lounge vibe to it almost akin to an Applebee’s.
This location draws a business crowd but also the occasional sweatpants crowd. The food is healthier versions of what you’ll find at any restaurant in America.
The best thing may be the service which is super pleasant. This is a new location so the restaurant is clean and looks fairly modern.

I fell in love with the new Seasons 52 in their Bridgewater location but was in Edison while I waited for my car to be serviced. I ordered the cedar plank salmon (perfectly cooked medium) and asparagus and had a pomegranate margarita (served up with a salted rim) while I waited at the bar. Everything was delicious as I expected. And just around 6 ish, a pianist sat in the middle of the bar and played her own spin on various songs from Ray Charles to more modern artists like Alicia Keys. She had a pretty nice voice also!
I enjoyed my short time there as I love good food, drinks, music, and an overall pleasant ambience. They had it all that evening.

Needed to charge our Tesla on our way to Princeton, so we stopped at the supercharger station, which is right next to this restaurant. We went in to have lunch with very low expectations, but were pleasantly surprised!
I tried the butternut squash soup, which was heavenly! Fish tacos were delicious, but I wish they came with guacamole without me requesting it. The hummus appetizer was good, but the crackers were WAY WAY too salty. The service, the décor and ambience were good. Definitely will stop by if we are in the area again.

This is what I’d call a «for» review. As in it’s 3 stars for a chain and for being in suburban New Jersey. It’s nice, but if it were a standalone restaurant in a bigger city it would have a ways to improve to being more than average.
The food is overall good and they execute the seasonal concept well. I was happy to see they had some lovely Pinot Noir wines available by the glass, such as Étude, La Crema and Kim Crawford. You can request a small taste before you commit to a full glass and they will happily oblige.
Salads are usually pretty disappointing. They might be seasonal and fresh but the produce isn’t much better quality than what you’d find at your average neighborhood supermarket. You need quality tomatoes to make a good Greek salad, for example. This is New Jersey, tomatoes in summer are plentiful. But every time I’ve been there with my mother and she’s ordered a Greek salad the tomatoes are watery and in some cases almost mealy. Mains are mostly better quality, especially meats and very good fish/​seafood. The burger is surprisingly good. It has mushroom duxelles mixed in which have lots of umami and really complement and enhance the burger’s meatiness. And it’s served on a lovely brioche bun.
I do like that desserts come in little portions so you can enjoy a small taste of something sweet if you’re getting full, but most of them aren’t especially good and are on par with something you’d have at Chili’s or Applebee’s. The only exception to that I’ve had so far is the lemon curd with fresh blueberries which tastes really fresh.
Service is really friendly, but the quality of that also depends on who is waiting on you. We’ve had great service during peak times (and it can get PACKED and consequently very loud in there) and it’s been slow and forgetful during slower times of the day when I was maybe one of four customers in the place. Guessing maybe servers were doing sidework, so I don’t want to assume just bad service.
So yes, I’ll still come here because it’s certainly one of the better options in the area for a nicer (and often healthier) meal when I’m visiting my family, but I wouldn’t rank it as a favorite either.

Recently went to Seasons 52 for my Parents Anniversary dinner. This place I would say is nice for a once in a blue moon dinner night out for the average diner, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, foodies. I know this particular branch caters to many of the offices in the area for corporate dinners, which totally works, but other than that, it’s something that you can keep passing as you drive by. All in all, if you’re looking to make a dinner night out slightly special than your norm, the service here will definitely make you feel its so, but the food here is hit or miss.
I had made reservations to Seasons 52 via Open Table and was easily accommodated. So naturally we arrived on time, and we were instantly seated right away to our table for six. What I loved about this place is that they hand wrote a greeting card and left on the table for my parents to see for their anniversary. Shortly after settling in, our server, provided us with champagne to celebrate. So naturally I was impressed. This was Michelin-​style service for a chain restaurant!
But sadly, after the champagne, everything had plateaued from there.
Prime example: our server gave us false information on the number of duck wings were served in one order. His answer was 6 pieces, when I had asked before ordering, but when the expediter came out to serve the wings, she mentioned that the dish always included 5 pieces. It was one piece short for the number of people we had at the table which is why I had specifically asked. The issue was immediately rectified with «an extra wing on the way», but of course didn’t help my overall impression.
Example #2: NO BREAD BASKET. *crickets*
Our table had ordered the Chilean Sea Bass special, the Salmon special, the rack of Lamb, two orders of the Filet Mignon, and a Branzino. The food was delivered in a timely manner which was satisfactory on my end, but judging by everyone’s reaction, it was super hit or miss. My branzino was listed «whole» but unfortunately came with no head, and was going to be filet and stuffed with seasoning at the table. That right there threw me off.
A — «whole» fish in my book means «nose to tail»
B — it should have been stuffed with the herbs and lemon already.
Instead my dish looked like something they meagerly put together by the broiler. I was totally not impressed. My brother and boyfriend were too a little disappointed in the portions. Granted the calorie count on the menu coincided with the portion sizes on the plate, but I was almost too hopeful that more veggies would be on all of our plates.
Having had finished all of our main courses, our server comes out with a DESSERT PARFAIT CAROUSEL. Naturally, this all appealed to us, and of course, our server had a candle handy for my parents if they wanted dessert, (and they did). Almost all of us had selected a parfait (being so hungry), but those itty bitty parfaits were too sweet!!! I later found out that those parfaits were like $ 5 a piece and could be a whopping 370 calories if you chose what your heart desired!
By the end of the night, I almost felt gypped. Uh, Seasons 52, why weren’t the parfaits on a dessert menu with their respective calorie count? Tsk tsk on your inconsistencies and your mediocre-​passé food.

Myself and great Unilocaler Maheen M. wanted to dine out at a restaurant together in Edison. We decided to come here. I made a reservation for 7:15pm (formerly 7pm) on Wednesday night. We arrived at 7:03pm, and the restaurant appeared to be somewhat crowded. When we got there, we were actually seated in a booth within two minutes. The fact that we were seated way before my reserved time was significantly grateful.
We sat down with our menus. A few minutes later, our friendly waitress came by and told us their seasonal offerings and took our basic drink orders. We didn’t order any alcoholic drinks that night. After our waitress came back with our drinks, we immediately placed our orders.
Regarding our orders, we ordered a Lobster and Fresh Mozzarella Flat-​bread to share. This was actually a chef’s suggestion. I also ordered a organic field green salad, and a oak-​grilled filet mignon (medium-​well). Maheen ordered a cedar-​plank roasted salmon.
First, our lobster and fresh mozzarella flat-​bread came out on a long, wooden plank. It contained scattered lobster, scallion and roasted pepper pieces, mounds of mozzarella cheese, and a drizzle of lobster sour cream. This tasted hot, fresh, and delicious. We both enjoyed that.
Next, my organic green salad came. It contained lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese shavings, and croutons. Everything looked fresh. I was actually stunned by the size of that salad. At least I was able to eat some of it, take the rest home, and say that I had my serving of veggies that night.
Following that were the entrees. I received my oak-​grilled filet mignon (medium-​well). The filet mignon was topped off with roasted mushrooms (didn’t care about that) and red wine sauce. Also included was a mound of Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and a small side of roasted asparagus with a tomato slice on top.
Everything here appeared fresh. The red wine sauce was tasty, which added a lot of flavor to the filet mignon. Speaking of which, the meat was quite tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes were delicious, and definitely not pre-​made. I took the roasted asparagus side home.
Maheen’s roasted salmon appeared on a cedar plank. It was also served with a grilled lemon, a side of vegetables, potatoes, and some mustard sauce. That was actually presented really well.
After the entrees, our waitress came over with a nice presentation of the dessert shooters (To the Unilocaler who thought these were complimentary — they’re NOT!). They appeared in different flavors. That size is definitely perfect after finishing a good meal, unlike a big slice of cake. Could anyone eat all or most of those at one time? Sure, but NOT me and never will! :D
I had a hard time choosing between s’mores and the macchiato flavor. But I settled with s’mores, which was good. There was a layer of chocolate cake on the bottom, then a layer of chocolate mouse mixed with chocolate chips, topped off with a marshmallow and a graham cracker. No blandness here! Yeah, I’ll definitely recommend this to anyone who loves chocolate. The price for the shooters was very reasonable!
Every time the food came out, Maheen and I snapped photos of them before we started eating. This was fun. I absolutely didn’t care about the speed of the service at this place since we were busy conversing as we waited for the food and drinks. We really enjoyed that evening. :)
The restaurant itself had a relaxed atmosphere with low lighting. Our table had a candle on it. We heard someone play piano and sing acoustic versions of «Hot AC» tunes. Just wasn’t sure if that was live or from a CD player. Either way, this was all perfect.
Our waitress was excellent. She had a positive attitude throughout our experience. She also stopped by our table to see if our entrees were fine. Finally, she packed up our leftovers in interesting little boxes for us to take home.
Overall, this restaurant was great. The food was fresh and the quality was excellent, unlike that embarrassing non-​chain restaurant that I went to in Wildwood. There was a lot of flavor in the entrees and desserts that were served to us. Also, because of the fact that this restaurant does get crowded at times, it would be extremely beneficial to make a reservation online via OpenTable to avoid the possibility of being «hangry» and waiting over 30 minutes for a table. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s looking for a good place to dine in the Edison area.
This restaurant can be entered in the Menlo Park Mall parking lot. The location itself is perfect for those in Central Jersey who have to utilize US-​1 and NJ-​27 (via Parsonage Road — which I utilized). Lastly, I’m giving a shout-​out to Unilocaler Lor A. for her «spot-​on» review of the day in regards to the freshness & quality of the food, location, and reservations idea. Cheers!
