| - So I finally got to Seasons. It's weird, I was waiting for it to open because I loved the concept, then I wait this long. I can't explain why. Anyway, I made reservations for early, like elderly early, on a weekend night due to my dining companion's plans. So we got there, the place was probably about half full, and they go to seat us at a table in the dead center of the room. WTF? We asked to be moved to one of the 3 open booths we saw in the dining area, and were told that they couldn't move us because they were "reserved". Annoying, but we moved into a booth at the bar. The decor was kind of dark generic chain steakhouse style, and there was a piano with a piano player in the bar. This or the 6pm seating time may explain why it was full of olds. I mean, nobody but us under 45.
The server came very promptly to talk to us, and immediately I sensed some sort of nervousness or maybe just weirdness, because he seemed discombobulated and giggled a lot. It took prodding several times for him to take our order, because he had a penchant for walking up to the table, inserting himself in our conversation, and then forgetting that he was our waiter and that he's there for a reason. But he was nice enough for the casual type of place it is- definitely not fine dining.
The concept of this place is really cool- I like to eat healthy, seasonally, and knowing the calorie counts of my food is pretty important to me. This is why I'd go back if I felt like a dinner out but not accidental consumption of 2000 calories because the restaurant injects their food with butter. The food I had was so-so. We started out with the tomato basil flatbread because we were told it was a specialty. It was meh. It gets a pass for being under 475 calories, but if I'd ordered it at a full-cal restaurant, I would have been disappointed by its blandness. I also ordered the vegetable plate, which I did like. I think it changes seasonally, but it had a mini corn on the cob, some baby carrots, a couple of broccoli florets, some turnips (may have been parsnips), some quinoa, a couple of baked tomatoes, and a small piece of glazed tofu. What surprised me about this was the lack of flavor. I cook low-cal all the time but it has flavor. This was literally like a bare steamed broccoli floret, bare steamed carrots, etc. BUT when I got home and looked online, the sodium was off the charts. I don't know how that happens.
Again, I'll go back but only because I'm always on the lookout for healthy, calorie conscious food. Definitely not a "destination" for me.
