More restaurants would be wise to do what Seasons 52 has done and remind the American public that food need not be drenched in butter, garlic, or other seasonings to taste good. I realize that some of the other reviewers might genuinely have found the food bland, but I did not--perhaps this is because I never cook with salt or butter and I eat blander foods, generally speaking. I have been to Seasons 52 several times now since it has opened and I thought that everything I've had so far has been great. I especially recommend the salmon salad, the flatbreads, the scallops, or the venison. The desserts in the shot glasses are pretty good, too, but watch out: they are pretty caloric. If you check out the website, you can find nutrition facts (which is a great thing, I think), and you'll discover that most everything, even the appetizers and the tiny desserts, have close to 475 calories... just something to be forewarned about. My only qualm about this place is that the staff could be a little more professional. The last time I was there (during a slow time), one of the managers was complaining about a server to another one of the managers, and then complained about a separate issue that had come up that day. It reminded me of being in a lower-scale establishment and hearing the workers gossiping or complaining--no customer wants to hear that. The service should be silent. And don't get me wrong--I've worked in the service industry plenty of times before, so I'm not coming from the perspective of not understanding their service situation. Anyway, to make a long story short: I highly recommend dining here.
Pros: more healthful food than most places, fresh menu, great food
