Excellent service with extraordinary attention without being intrusive. Justifiably famous for beef we split appetizers and had a salad each. Calamari are as good as if gets with a sweet savory pepper sauce. Carpaccio is top notch. Crab cake was stellar. Salads delicious. Compliments to the bar for an exquisite Manhattan straight up. Perfect balance of bourbon bitters and vermouth. Prices are on the high side but quality is extraordinary.

We were a party of four old friends who met at Seasons 52 Schaumburg. Our server, Gani, was outstanding! He was so pleasant, helpful and attentive. We will absolutely seek him out the next time we have the pleasure of dining at Seasons 52. By all means, I should add that we enjoyed the food and wine. We purposely arrived in time to get our first glasses of wine and food from the happy hour menu. We knew from experience that it was a good value and delicious. Seasons 52 is a great value and we truly enjoyed our evening.

We typically go to the Milwaukee one, but the experience here was sooo much better. Capital Grille was already one of my favorite restaurants, but this time around, everything was so much better. Service, food, drinks. Juan and the server assistant were amazing, as was the management that checked up on us!
