I had drinks and appetizers here with a friend. The appetizer (grilled steak and crimini mushroom) was very tasty and appealing to the eyes as well. Drinks (vodka martini and margaritas) were also well done. The piano player was not memorable but the ambiance was otherwise very nice.Recommended More

Seasons 52 a rare find in OC. Atmosphere casual & friendly, live music in bar, portions perfectly sized (not monstrous like other eateries). Good, reasonably priced wine list (?!) & knowledgable, welcoming, attentive service! Comfy booths (we ate in bar to avoid wait for table). Food very tasty, perfectly prepared, wonderful sauces (you'd never know it's healthy & low-cal!). I... More

Givem nearby alternatives (Charlie Palmer's, Capital Grill, Marche Moderne, Mastros, etc), this restaurant provides a safe, yet flavorful alternative to the local dining scene. Nearly always crowded, go late or ealy to catch a seat. Otherwise, try your chances eating (or drinking) at the bar. Note that the menu is seasonal and reasonably fresh, so the right-sized portions provide an... More

We ate in the bar area in a nice booth with an excellent waiter willing to discuss the food choices. All in all, an enjoyable... More

This was a great place to go. They have a healthy menu in mind without skimping on quality or even decent portions. Everything is flavored well, and pairing suggestions are well done. More

Was on a business trip and popped in for a Cosmopolitan Martini and some eats. Cozy, warm, club-like decor. Open view into kitchen-grill area. I sat solo at bar, which was pretty full on a Tuesday night. Very professional bartenders, obviously schooled in customer service. I really liked the fact that the live piano player was situated on a dias... More

I've only been here once. The service was good. I got a flatbread gyro. It was pretty good - the meat was a little tough. More

Fresh and fit? Could describe my date and Seasons 53. The food ranges from inventive flatbread to fish to steaks with snappy veggies, inventive sides and cool tiny deserts. Everything is lo-cal So-Cal good except one thing: the dining room noise. L.O.U.D. The excellent service makes up for it but take this dog's advice: ask to be let outside to... More

Enjoyed a lovely meal and evening with a couple of close friends. Go for the trout, which was really delicious, served with roasted potato, asparagus, and baby carrots! Husband's filet mignon was nicely done and a very good value at under $30. They bring around this tray with delicious desserts in those small square glasses, e.g., keylime pie, chocolate and... More
