Season's 52 is the quintessential date destination. The lights are low, servers are friendly and professional, the food is light but very pleasing, and the wine list is expansive (plus the price is right).
I have become a big fan of the Pork Medallions served over Creamy Polenta. I have also tried the Filet served with spring vegetables also excellent.
I don't understand why folks are giving this place only 1 star due to portioins - that's how you reduce calories. Plus people have gotten used to a Fast-Food prices at Chili's and the like...please if you are not interested in exquisit flavors and just want more bang for the buck - just go to McDonald's. You can get 3 Value Meals for the price of 1 entree' here. Do you over-eaters even know how big a servings size of steak is? You get what you pay for...sure you can get a bigger cut somewhere else for a buck or two less - but not prepared at this caliber and not of this grade wither. The problem is that when you reach 45 y/o and the Doctor Bills start coming in for clogged or calcified arteries - you learn what Value versus Sustinance is all about. Plus - we just don't want you yokels there anyways.
I have never had a problem with the reservations - I'm sure I've just been lucky. I don't know how people still think that a reservation means that the server will kick someone out of their seats. I'm sure the same people take the attitude that they have the right to keep the table an extra half hour and cause other people delays as well - again stay home people. The drive through moves pretty slow too and check your order because sometimes they mess up too! Just saying is all.
Completely agree with Dennis B, I just finished eating a plate of eggs because my dinner at Seasons 52 was unsatisfying. My gf is sitting on the bed right now ranting about how its a big scam and I have to say, she's right...
The only reason the meals are less than 475 calories is because they are either A) very small B) mostly vegetables or C) Both A and B (aka the salads).
All the prius-driving pussies out there can have this one...
Reservation for 930 arrived at 922 seated at 940. This is the only place I have ever been where you make a reservation far in advance and then they make you wait past that time. Yes there were people that walked in before me; they walked in, though. That is the entire point of a reservation. There was a piano man playing tonight. He was singing cover songs while playing the music on the piano for most of the night; it was somewhat surreal.
After having read so many rave reviews about this restaurant, I figured that I would try it. The inside is overly contrived and is only added to by the grouping of pretentious restaurants at the Galleria Mall. As contrived as it was, though, I did find that it was somewhat soothing. After looking over the menu, we settled on the following items:
Sebastiani Pinot Noir
Vodka, seven up and lime
Shrimp cocktail
Butternut squash
Chicken flatbread
Filet mignon
Carmelized scallops
The drinks arrived and they were good -- they came from bottles, it would be time to walk out if they were bad. I have had Sebastiani Pinot Noir before and I knew that I liked it; nothing spectacular, but it is good. As I was trying the vodka and seven-up, the shrimp cocktail and butternut squash soup arrived. I tasted the soup expecting a nice and creamy butternut squash taste -- not so much. It did not taste of its namesake. It tasted like watered down, warm apple sauce. The shrimp was okay, but the flavor was nothing spectacular and the texture was somewhat rubbery.
I was not pleased with this meal so far. I didn't finish the soup and just put it to the end of the table. As I did this, our Chicken Flatbread arrived. I tried one piece and began to see a trend. The ingredients on the flatbread were spread so thin as to make the appetizer flavorless. I put several pieces together to condense the ingredients and found that there was immediately a marriage of flavors that was previously lacking. I would have preferred a small flatbread with that flavor.
Having finished the appetizers, I went back to nursing my Pinot Noir while watching all of the other tables around me. I wondered what could they be eating that they were enjoying it so much? It was at about this point that our entrees arrived. I was ecstatic since it looked good; everything had looked good so far, though. I love scallops with a passion. I immediantly went for one of the scallops, cutting off a smaller piece so that I could savor the flavor. As I put the scallop in my mouth, I thought that I must have missed something. There was no flavor. I took the rest of the scallop and shoved it in my mouth hoping that if I put enough in I would extract that essence of the ocean that only presents itself in good scallops -- nothing. I went for what appeared to be cous cous in the center of my dish. There was flavor, but it was not balanced. Too much aromatic spice; at least the aspargus was cooked well and tasted good.
I decided to forgo my entree for a bit and try some of the filet mignon. It was one of the toughest filets I have ever eaten. To add insulat to injury, there was little flavor to the steak and I think the chef knew this since they gave a little side of barbeque sauce. Really? Barbeque sauce as a side for a filet, what were they thinking? I went back to my entree and finished the scallops and asparagus.
When we received the bill -- sans dessert -- my mouth dropped. That contemptuous meal was over $50 per person. I felt disappointed in the other reviews. I felt violated by Seasons 52. There are so many restaurants that serve the same items with flavor. If you must have this food, just go to Red Lobster or Olive Garden. It will taste the same, be larger portions, and cost less.
Everyone needs to get past the 475 calorie or less marketing gimmick. If I gave you a large piece of trash you would turn it away. So, would you accept that same trash if I made it smaller, upped the price, and told you it was less than 475 calories? Apparently the answer is yes.
I would return only for a bar experience; and I don't go to many bars. At least the service was good.
We were in Fort Lauderdale to help a friend/family member move into the area. They had been there before and insisted we eat at Seasons 52 before we left for New Jersey. So we did ...
YOU WILL REGRET NOT EATING AT THIS PLACE. R-E-G-R-E-T.
This restaurant's location is at a extensive mall, so when the hostess informed us about the wait time despite our reservations I took a stroll around the mall. (I was, however, still annoyed we had to wait.) Finalllllyyyy we were seated. The interior is beautifully decorated, I might add.
We reviewed the menu to find that EVERY item has 475 calories or less and parts of the menu is also changed based on ingredients that are in season. I was simply thrilled.
The best part is this: After we ordered a few appetizers, the manager came over to us with a flatbread appetizer. She apologized for the wait time and gave it to us on the house. Nothing beats awesome customer service. And BANG: 5 stars.
What I LOVE about this place:
HUGE wine list!
Any flatbread
Baby Spinach Salad ***(a MUST get)
Caramelized Sea Scallops
Tiger Shrimp Penne Pasta
Desserts: Mini Indulgences
I don't suppose I will be back in FtL anytime soon, but when I do get back ... you'll find me in Seasons.
So much has already been said about Seasons 52. Like others, I love the concept - low calorie, seasonal meals in portion appropriate sizes. Add an extensive menu that includes 100+ affordable wines served by the glass (plus several more served by the bottle) and a happening bar scene, and you have a perfect restaurant in my mind. The only problem for me: the closest location is 45 minutes from my house, so I don't get to visit as often as I would like.
I've seen a few comments on here that suggest that Seasons 52 simply tricks its diners with smaller portions of food you could just get anywhere else. Yes, you can eat healthier at other restaurants by eating a smaller portion, but Seasons 52 takes it one step further by nixing the creams and butters and blending fresh flavor combinations that help keep the calorie count (and your pant size) down. Their portions are what we should be eating anyway - the supersized plates you get at another restaurant may be a good value, but they are not good for your health.
As a truly seasonal restaurant, the Seasons 52 menu changes regularly. For this creature of habit who usually likes to stick with a favorite dish on each visit, this can be a little tough for me, but their menu is always an adventure. On my last visit, my table enjoyed a giant goat cheese ravioli as an appetizer, a buffalo burger and some of the tasty desserts served in shot glasses (a great deal at only $2.50, I particularly enjoyed the blueberry cheesecake I selected). I also had a cup of the corn soup off their weekly seasonal specials (this is where the "52" comes from - a few seasonal items are placed on the menu only for a week). Their cheesy flatbreads filled with a variety of toppings are also a nice way to start out the meal.
I have enjoyed every dish I have had at Seasons 52, but after a few meals, I know my tastes prefer the dishes that are not "designed down" from a calorie perspective. For instance, the buffalo burger was very good for a low calorie burger, but my preference would be to spend the extra calories on a very good, genuine burger. Instead, I tend to prefer the salads, sandwiches and pastas that just "happen to be" low calorie.
The service is also spot-on, right from the friendly staff at the host stand to the servers and all of the staff who help keep you happy. Your beverage glass will never sit their empty, and your food will come out quickly.
Unless you are coming at a dead time (between 2 and 6 p.m.), reservations are a must. This place gets packed, but unlike many chain restaurants, they actually take reservations (part of why they're 5 stars in my book). You can reserve your table by calling the restaurant or visiting http://opentable.com. They seem to have this down to a science, and they manage to get you to your table very close to your reservation time.
Darden, the operators of Capital Grille, Olive Garden, Red Lobster and others, has come up with a true 5-star concept with Seasons 52. I was so pleased to hear from one of the servers that another Seasons 52 location will be opening in summer 2010 near Miracle Mile. This will really breathe some new (and healthy) life into the Coral Gables dining and bar scene.
How should I judge Seasons 52? Compared to restaurants that don't try to be healthy, the food here might only be worth three stars. On the other hand, the healthy, low-calorie menu is definitely one of the restaurant's big selling points, and compared to other healthy places, the food might be worth five stars. I will keep in mind its goal of being healthy and how important people tell me that sort of thing is, and I will award it four stars.
People who say this is the most delicious food out there are wrong and simply don't know what they are missing elsewhere. In fact, I pity them. However, I do appreciate this restaurant's reliance on seasonal ingredients, which is a good thing to do for quality regardless of any health benefits. Also, even though the food tasted like it was trying to be healthy and the portion sizes were smaller than most of us are accustomed, the food was tasty enough that I honestly enjoyed it. In fact, although I won't lay awake at night fantasizing about my return, I would like to go back, which is probably the first time I have said that about any health food place. Well done.
"For everything there is a season...." and a reason to go to a wine bar... in the late afternoon... with your kids...at the mall.
Case in point: shopping for an 8th grade prom dress with a 13 year old-- with a faint "666" showing up on the back of her neck. (As if Mall shopping wasn't bad enough.) Help meee!
The Galleria mall in Ft. Laud. luckily has a few decent actual restaurants in which to dine and de-mall yourself. So, for all the June Cleaver (or Joan Crawford) moms out there who know what I'm talking about- think about foregoing the icky Food Court and treating yourself (and your kids) to a nice little meal once in a while. My daughters -and um, ok- my three year old son, too ( I love a challenge) tip toed in to the lovely looking Seasons 52 for a few samplings of the appetizer menu - and um - the mommy juice selection. Good stuff for the kids and mom:
-Edamame (fun green stuff to play with/eat ;) Ravioli with goat cheese (Chef Boyardee is the devil), tuna tartare (ooh -cool - raw food!) Teriyaki-sumthin-sumthin chicken skewers (chicken nuggets be damned.) And, for mom- one glass of the house Shiraz. Yummy. The caramel banana pie for dessert was a big hit (the 666 image on back of said 13 yr old's neck vanished before my very eyes.)
Prices were darn fair ($5+ apps) - and extra bonus points for non food court ambiance, nice flatbread and courteous service.
For everything- turn, turn, turn...
You can tell the quality of the reviewers when you see a place like this with great reviews. The concept behind this place is sort of a trick; they vary the portions to meet calorie counts and claim "fresh ingredients"; as if anyone purposely uses stale ingredients? The food is OK, the portions are too small for the price, and you can't get a T-bone. Its a good place to take one of the sushi and grass eating South Florida women though. And its a lot cheaper than Capital Grill.
The people that eat here are the kind of people who drive a Prius and shop at Whole Foods. People who think they're smart, but in reality they're just being taken advantage of by clever marketeers.
I started eating here way back when they first opened, and they have not lost the magic. I still love coming back time after time...never leaving too stuffed or feeling guilty since every item on the menu is 475 calories or less. It was very funny every time we went in the beginning, my b/f, who eats large portions, would ask the server...are you sure this dish is only 475 calories??? Each time the response was, yes sir, they all are :)
He has stopped asking...whew...but we still love the food, and the service is great. I am not big into the "chain" style spots, but this place doesn't have that vibe. They have something for everyone, meat, fish, foul and pork...and for us veggie lovers, the grilled veggie platter is to die for! I always say I am going to get something different, but I just love it.
If you are a wine lover, or just starting in the wine arena, it is a great place. They have about 360 wines by the glass, so you can try something different without committing to an entire bottle. I highly recommend making reservations, which is done on line at http://opentable.com
ENJOY!
Healthy and delicious eating. One of my favorite restaurants... this is no cheesecake factory style eating/portions. Make a reservation online!
- grilled scallops w/ asparagus and sundried tomato pearl pasta
- pork dish in an iron skillet w/ spinach is a-ma-zing
- crab stuffed mushrooms
- flat breads for a starter
- guilt free dessert eating! i love the carrot cake double shooter
they have "seasonally inspired menu contains less than 475 calories" which is pretty good, considering. so if you're a calorie watcher, it's a nice helper.
we've gone for a few birthday celebrations, and just for a nice dinner after an afternoon of shopping at the Galleria...
Things that were super yummy:
- ripe tomato summer stack (Starter)
- garlic chicken flatbread
- brilled steak and cremini mushroom flatbread
- lemongrass salmon salad
- caramelized sea scallops
- cedar plank atlantic salmon
- grilled rack of new zealand lamb
- any of the desserts. they come in shotglasses, and are 2.50 each glass.
Not so much:
- caramelized crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms (Starter)
- roasted crab stuffed shrimp
this is great for a group, just call in advance, and they will accommodate you - inside/outside whatever ur preference is.
We are into healthy eating, and this place is great for it. The ingredients are fresh, the menu is interesting and changes with the season, and there are options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The desserts are also wonderful, though it counters any healthy eating you may manage with the entrees. The wine list is extensive and the staff is friendly. We have been eating at this restaurant frequently since we discovered it.
If you're into fresh, unique, delicious fare, Seasons 52 is the place for you. The menu items are prepared with your health in mind, as the restaurant promises that no dish has more than 475 calories. For those of us who like to dine out, but don't like to wreak havoc on our figures, this is a pleasant alternative to most other restaurants. The menu changes based on the season, so you can be sure that all ingredients are fresh, hearty, and oh-so-tasty! The assortment of flatbreads are all to die for, and you MUST save room for at least a couple of the individual-sized desserts. As far as entrees go, I can't seem to get away from the grilled vegetable platter. It never disappoints!
If you're going for dinner, you might want to make a reservation, to ensure that you're seated right away. However, if you do end up having to wait a while to be sat, I highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar and familiarizing yourself with the impressive bar menu. Seasons 52 boasts over 120 international wines, and the bartenders are knowledgeable and helpful in making suggestions. Also, if you're a fan of Bloody Mary's, as I am, ask for a Bloody Mary Martini. You will swear your tastebuds have died and gone to heaven. Altogether, Seasons 52 is a truly enjoyable dining experience and a must-see for locals and tourists alike.
Season 52 is a upscale but casual dining experience. It's probably one of the most promising expanding chain restaurants around. All meals are under 475 calories and are a culinary excellence. Nothing is made from Butter or other unhealthy ingredients that did not leave the meal dull or disgustingly healthy.
The menu changes with the seasons. Giving all a in-season fresh meal.
You must try the flat bread pizza it's light crisp with all variety of toppings.
My experience I had char sealed fliet migeon for 25 dollars. It was cooked to be a $100 steak served with a side of house blended BBQ sauce. the Vegetable was a boiled then grilled carrots and Brockley.
The meal was good.
The desserts are also portion controlled and served in tube,shot glass like cups. My s'mor was a miss but everyone else at my table enjoyed there selection but hey for 2.50 what do you want.
The wait staff was attentive and the people at the desk always respond to you as your last name. Come this way Mr or Ms _____ Have a good day Mr or Mrs______
hands down a good place to dine.
Great concept and experience. They claim that everything on the menu is less than 500 calories. A little noisy but oh well.
Seasons 52 is simply wonderful !
Out of all the fine restaurant I have had the pleasure of dining - Seasons 52 is in the top 5 best !!!
The menu you so refreshing, "seasonal", healthy, inventive !
The staff is extremely professional, friendly, welcoming .... with exceptional serving skills ....
I ordered pasta with spring - fresh - veggies ... it was like heaven on my palate .... paired with the most amazing wine .... suggested by our waitress !
the atmosphere ... is dim, beautifully decorated, huge vases filled with exquisite aromatic flowers ... just amazing ...
the perfect place for a date, dinner party, family, pop the question, fabulous birthday dinner ... you name it .....
great for vegans !
I can't wait to return !
I went with my friend to Seasons 52 based on her knowledge that I could get a vegan dish there. I had the Farmer's Market Vegetable Soup and the Autumn Market Vegetable Plate. Both were quite tasty, and I felt full afterwards.
The entree was far from a frozen veggie mix with Mrs. Dash. The vegetables were fresh and roasted individually with different herbs and spices to give them unique flavours. The grilled tofu added some protein and the tabbouleh brought in some carbs. (While veggies alone are good, I like getting extra fuel for my high metabolism.) I wasn't sure what to do with the little cup of guacamole, so I just ate it separately at the end. I was stuffed, so I wasn't concerned that none of the desserts were vegan.
The servers were friendly and kept checking on how things were going. For anything our server didn't know (about vegan dishes), he knew which one had the answer.
I was a little surprised that it was in the mall, but I remember going to various grill-like restaurants in the malls when I was younger. Fellow Chicagoans, they're building a new location in the city soon. I'd recommend checking it out.
When it comes to Fort Lauderdale, you can literally count on your hands the number of fine restuarants in town. Thank god there's a Season's 52. Maybe it's because I'm a California boy or maybe it's because I actually like fresh, healthy food, but I can't say enough good things about the menu at this restaurant. The menu changes with the seasons, the ingredients are always obviously fresh, and the portions don't remind you of Texas.
Their staff can come off a bit too informative at times and it is always VERY noisy during dinner. I really don't like that it's attached to a mall either, but hey, this is FL afterall.
Nice restaurant, always good quality food and good service and the best part is that it's healthy and the menu changes with the seasonal vegetables available. I love the dessert selection and the fact that they are served in small shot glasses, so you can't overindulge but yet get a taste.
4 stars because FINALLY, a restuarant that acutally publishes all of it's nutritional content online. But 500 calories still sin't all that great. I mean sure, it's better than 2000, which is what some of the entrees at other restraurants contain, but it's still not as good as 200-300 calories, which is what my dinner at home would be. So as a 'healthy restuarants" concept, it's the best out there, but it could still be better.
As far as the food, price and service - all great! My family ordered two flatbreads to share. The tomato was just okay, and while the steak was delicious as 470 calories for what is basically the equivalent of one slice of pizza (it looks big but each piece is soooo thin), I am glad I only had one piece and din't order that for my entree.
The waiter gave me a strange look when I opted for the appetizer mussels (low cal and delicios) with the side veggie of grilled brocoli ceaser (also good). My husband had the pork tenderloin with polenta which was awesome, but the sauce seemed to evaporate quickly leaving the pork a bit dry. The shrimp bisque was good, but a bit too spicy for me.
For dessert, we each ordered and shared a bunch of the small single serving shot-glass sized desserts. The red velvet cake and tiramasu were awesome and low cal for restuarant desserts, but again at 300 calories for 2-3 spoonfuls, I felt like they could have done better.
Service was good in the beginning but became absent as the night went on. Prices were excellent though - 7 people had apps, entrees, dessert, and 2 bottles of wine for about $200.
When I am in town, I would definately come back. They make a great effort to offer healthy alternatives for dining out (and let you know exactly what you are getting) and the food is delicious and reasonably priced!
One of my faves!! Never been disappointed here. Thought it was a chick place until I took my husband and son and they enjoyed it also. The food has lots of flavor and it's healthy. I have enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms, the pear salad is awesome, and the scallops are yummy. the desserts come in shot glasses, so they are low cal. The service is great and attentive, almost over attentive. Whenever I am on that side of town, this is my first choice. Not cheap, but worth it.
I am a veggie, so this place hit the spot! I had the salmon and it was the best thing Ive ever had!!!!! Also, the dessert shots are soo good and a perfect proportion :) You have to try this place!!! Great service too.
This restaurant is beautiful, the food is good, and the service is excellent. Should get 5 stars, but one problem. It's all healthy eating! No meal is over 400 calories and they don't use butter. You pay for bread seperate if you want it! Not sure I could survive sans butter!!!
i have to say that they have some of the best service at this restaurant. we were greeted as if we were VIPs. not only did they give us a sample as we were seated, it was given by the chef himself. i had the scallops and they were well cooked. it was tender and tasty. it's a part of the galleria and i thought there would be a bunch of people but there wasn't a problem getting a table at all. you'll have a great experience if you come here. the menu always changed to whatever the season is, hence the name seasons 52 and the fresh produce of that season. the chef also mentioned that if there was anything we wanted to try, the chef would gladly make something up for us. that's pretty impressive for a chain restaurant. i'd go back.
This is my new favorite "fancy" restaurant. All meals are under 500 calories and the food is perfectly portioned so that you're not hungry or overly full when you're leaving. Try the delicious flatbread appetizer (a thin, crisp treat served lengthwise) before moving onto the main courses.
The menu changes four times a year in relation to what is in season. And the atmosphere is very relaxed and cozy. The music is usually a Frank Sinatra style and the waiters are very helpful. The wine list is extensive.
Don't leave without having one of the deserts which are served in a double shot glass and brought on a serving try with all of the choices when you order so that you don't have to wait. But not to worry the chef is in the back making each fresh.
Didn't expect it to be that good as it is in the Galleria Plaza, but it was awesome. The waiter was great! I went last year for Mother's Day. He took a picture of me and my hubby, and gave me a rose. It gets no better.
My first time....what a surprise! I usually have pretty low expectations for restaurants that are in a mall so after walking to my table, I felt like I was taken away to someplace special. First, though I don't usually order a cocktail, I ordered a mojito, (light on the rum please!) and it was perfect. My dinner companion recommended one of the flat bread appetizers - Yummy! Light, not spicy, and just the right amount. We both ordered the planked salmon. It was perfectly cooked, with great veggies and potatoes. The presentation was lovely, too. At my friends urging, we opted for two of the small "shot glass" desserts. They were very good but a bit over the top after having such a great meal! It was a bit pricey but worth it! I'm looking forward to going back again.
Fabulous wine list, no cooking with butter, heavy cream, or a deep-fryer, and every menu item is less than 475 calories. Save room for dessert - they bring out a tray of shot glasses, each filled with a bit of dessert. If you don't eat at least three of them, you are cheating yourself.
I obviously do not care about calorie content, but I try to be as healthy as I can, and it was a lot of fun having an entire menu of good choices.
Not to mention, every single thing I put in my mouth, from the wine to the flatbread to the stuffed mushrooms, was awesome. I can't wait to go back.
Seasons is a great place to go on a week night. There is always a full bar of people and a great ambiance. The price is moderate and the wait staff is adequate but not great. I also think that rumors that they don't feed you enough are wrong, I have left quite full from here in the past.
****
I would like to update this posting as I ate at Seasons yesterday and they made us wait one hour for our reservations!!! Three words... "Un Fukcing Believable!"
The manager came by and bought a bottle of wine for the table but it still was not a good experience to wait that long. I am dropping my rating to a 3...
I always receive consistently above par service at their Buckhead location in Atlanta and I was able to dine here twice during my recent visit to Ft. Lauderdale (I actually had to return to make sure I wasn't making a premature judgment based on my slightly poor service at the bar). My second visit the next day made up for anything that the bartender could have messed up.
They have a fantastic lunch menu and every one of the server's recommendations was absolutely wonderful - from the freshly made ravioli appetizer to the amazingly delicious dessert sampler. The bill for me and my guest was only about $36 and we had something from each course except for salad.
Casual dress is fine and feel free to ask questions because their staff is very helpful and everyone seems very happy to be at work.
Upscale restaurant at the Galleria Mall. Menu changes with the seasons. Not the usual mall kind of place
Start with a flatbread, the tomato is what we order, its like the best thinnest pizza you ever ate. As the menu changes with the seasons choose something that you fancy.
Best to make a reservation, even for lunch!
All items are made with under 500 calories, they will explain.
Even the deserts which are small "tastes" are low calorie.
There is valet parking, or just park in the parking under the mall.
At the mall there is also a Capitol grille $$$$ and a new P.F. Chang.
Not a bad place, a pretty average dining experience, but pretty good for a chain restaurant.
The flatbread was delicious and it got my hopes up for the rest of the meal. But the salad had average ingredients and was overdressed. The entree looked nice, tasted fine, nothing was screwed up but it wasn't great. It was just average. The desserts innovative, cute, and presented well. If I had to go again, I would just get flatbread, appetizers, drinks, and dessert. And unfortunately the butternut squash (seasonal dish rotated regularly) was just awful, and was a real mess of a dish that just tasted bad. Really, your seasonal, featured, weekly dish should be a superstar of the menu and it was terrible.
The service and decor is nice, noise level was good, comfortable dining. Many steps above what I would expect from a mall dining experience and I like the idea and concept of the restaurant, low calorie dishes made to taste good. I would go again, but just stick to appetizers and desserts and you can't go wrong. Unfortunately, the entrees are only average, and maybe too pricey for what you get. I would give it a second try though.
Very Reasonable. No complaints.
This is a very a new, attractive restaurant attached to an upscale mall close to the Intercoastal Waterway. It focuses on serving seasonal foods that are indeed fresh, but the plates arrive looking pretty sparse. More side vegetables on the plates would be nice. The red trout was good, but the salmon on a cedar plank was better. Don't fail to order the delicious flatbread appetizer (a thin, crisp treat served lengthwise) and save room for their ingenious dessert sampler (under $20), with individual mini servings for everyone. This is probably not a venue a meat and potatoes lover would appreciate, but it is a welcome change from the usual dining experience because of the menu transitions four times a year. Be sure to make a reservation. Parking is no problem.
This place is fantastic. Awesome food and it is pretty cheap. Try house wine, flat bread pizzas and you can't go wrong with either steak or fish for the main course.
Excellent restaurant with exceptionally fresh offerings. Concept is for a healthier dining experience. No fried foods, no butter or heavy cream used in the restaurant. You should try a flatbread appetizer and then move to any entree. Don't pass the equally fresh desserts served in small glass containers. The Red Velvet cake was excellent! Locations now only in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale.
Excellent Salmon and wine list. Beautiful decor. Love it.
