| - Seasons 52, as the star rating indicates, is A-OK. Our hilariously sarcastic server was the surprise highlight of an otherwise unmemorable dining experience.
The interior is darkish and attractive, if a litlle ho-hum. A piano sits in the center of the bar area and there is live music nightly, though our dining companions who had been there before described the setup as "loud and awkward".
Tucked away in the main dining room, our little group of four decided to order a number of items for the table to share: Thyme & Parm Crispbread, Garlic Chicken Flatbread, Artichoke Stuffed Artichoke Leaves, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms, and the dinner-sized portion of Goat Cheese Ravioli. Everything was palatable, though I couldn't really recall any particular dish without taking another peek at the menu. I appreciate the 'under 475 calorie' approach, but unless you limit yourself to one item it's really not much of a dietary coup.
We each ended our way-over-475-calorie meal with a mini indulgence: Key Lime Pie, Pecan Pie, Peanut Butter Mousse, and Bananas Foster. I have to admit the shooter sized portions are ingenious and all were absolutely scrumptious (with the exception of the Bananas Foster, which was sugar-free and had that unpleasant sweetener aftertaste).
All in all, we had a pleasant dinner, but I most likely wouldn't initiate a return visit. With so many other standout options in the Biltmore area, for me, A-OK just doesn't cut it.
