| - I'm usually skeptical when a restaurant claims to have very healthy food that's under a certain amount of calories because the food is either, A. Served in kiddies sized portions so you end up snacking later on in the evening anyway, or B. Dull and flavorless.
And I'm happy to report that Season's 52 was surprisingly good! Very well sized, flavorful portions!
Here are some highlights of my experience at Season's 52:
- VERY reasonably-priced
- fresh, seasonal ingredients
- crisp and well-seasoned veggies (the asparagus was omg good)
- excellent menu variety (highlights were the trout and the sea scallops - both were HUUUUGE - they didn't skimp on the scallops at all)
- healthy
- yummy appetizers (get the stuffed mushrooms)
- too tasty to be under 425 calories!!
- wonderful, attentive service
- great wine selection
- scrumptious mini-desserts
The best part is that you can reserve your table online at opentable.com, to avoid the wait. We had ZERO problem with our reservation as we were promptly seated upon arrival on a Saturday night. Yes, it is a chain, and yes, the interior resembles a dressed-up Olive Garden. However, despite those two qualities, Seasons 52 decently delivers as a middle-of-the-road, quality restaurant that will fit quite nicely into my go-to dining out rotation.
As far as healthy eating in the Biltmore area goes, this place is 10 times better than it's overly trendy (and overly awful) healthy food restaurant neighbor True Food Kitchen. At Season's 52 you get excellent service, and a MUCH tastier menu with a variety of choices that put True Food Kitchen's menu to shame. Plus, you won't walk out spending as much!
