| - This place deserves a rare 5-star rating from me. The food is great, and so is the service. Price is about what you would expect at the Biltmore.
Great service points: 1. The hostess asked for my friend's last name upon entering, and referred to him as "Mr. _______ " and to me as "Ms. Hughes" for the entire time we were there. 2. Upon seating us, the hostess looked at my black slacks and replaced the white linen napkin in front of me with a black one (SO AWESOME). 3. The first thing the server asked us is if we were under any time constraints to get back to work, etc. NICE TOUCH for a business day luncheon.
Things that have been said so far about Seasons 52 but deserve repeating: 1. It definitely looks like Huston's inside, but it's a great vibe. 2. Every item is under 475 calories! There is no butter or deep fryer in the joint. Therefore, the little dessert "shots" are a clever way of keeping dessert also under 475 calories. ;)
Additional items: 1. They take reservations. 2. There are multiple rooms for private parties and/or large groups.
If I had to change only one thing, it would be with the goat cheese ravioli that I ordered. For me, the dough-to-goat cheese ratio was a little out of whack. Meaning, far more goat cheese than dough. I know that this execution of the dish is in keeping with the theme of decreasing carb intake, but it was A LOT of goat cheese. The flavor was amazing, though, so I do need to state that this part of my review is based more on personal preference than on the chefs' skills.
I do need to mention that they have a great-- and surprisingly varied-- soup menu. Especially now that the weather is getting colder, I am definitely going back.
