| - Thank you AMEX! Was lucky enough to enjoy a complementary preview dinner here on AMEX. I was thoroughly impressed by nearly every aspect of this place.
The atmosphere is dimly lit, and very comfortable...as Kirstin E. said, think Houstons. As stated, the bar is huge and unique in that they have the entertainer sitting behind the bar, with the bartenders. The guy singing the night I was there was very good, and was not too loud that you couldn't converse (pet peeve).
The whole staff seemed extremely attentive and courteous. Seeing as dinner was free, our kind and attentive waitress Christi , encouraged us to try as much as we'd like, and we did. They change their menu seasonally, and naturally they were on Autumn. In addition to their seasonal menu changes, they have a side menu which changes every week, using the freshest ingredients available that week. (Hence the name Seasons 52...)
Started with:
-Caramelized Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms = Covered in toasted garlic and Parmesan cheese, amazingly tasty.
-Artichoke and Goat Cheese Flatbread = Was the flatbread special of the week, and was delicious. The flatbreads are extremely thin and light, yet packed with flavor. Perfect appetizer for the table to share, for those that don't like to get stuffed prior to their entrees.
-Chicken Tortilla Soup = Was the special soup of the week. Delicious, southwest cumin flavor. Not brothy, yet not thick. I hate when tortilla soups are thick and cream based...this thankfully was not.
Salads:
-Two people at the table had salads (I did not), one Greek and one Arugula. Both were from the "Small Salads" section of the menu...which coincidentally were not small at all. Both said they tasted good though.
Entrees:
-Grilled Mahi-Mahi with ponzu glaze and rice & vegetables = Was the weekly fish special. Perfectly grilled with a flavorful ponzu sauce, served over fresh snap peas and bok choy, along with steamed rice.
-Cedar plank Salmon = Served on its own individual cedar plank along with fresh steamed veggis. The cedar plank made the salmon taste amazing as expected...full of that delicious cedar smokey flavor.
-Grilled Boneless Rainbow Trout = The tastiest entree at the table. It was a huge piece of trout, grilled perfectly and simply seasoned. They also grill a piece of lemon for you to squeeze over it, which adds a wonderful zesty flavor.
Desserts:
-Sampled a bunch of their "mini indulgences," the Meyer Lemon Pound Cake and Key Lime Pie were the favorites...but all were wonderful. Love the size of these things. I've never been one to eat much dessert, simply because I'm too darn full after a good meal to indulge on dessert. But these are perfectly sized...and a great way to end your meal.
-Even the coffee was very good too!
All in all...I can't wait to come back and try more of the things on the menu when they officially open, going to have to pay for that meal though unfortunately! Which by the way, pricing is fair and reasonable given the outstanding quality or food. As the others have said....everything on the menu has 475 calories or less! Proof that you do not need food to be unhealthy for it to be tasty and satisfying!
Highly recommend you try Seaons 52 when they open on Monday!
