Restaurants near Chateau Elan Winery

I met an old friend here for dinner - we hadn’t seen each other in over 10 years and were looking for a lovely, quiet place to visit. We found it. From start to finish, the service, food, and atmosphere were sublime. We talked a blue streak for three and a half hours, and never once felt rushed or hurried. For a special night out, this place is a gem.

I have been to Seasons 52 many times, usually for a special occasion. Last Saturday night my date and I arrived right on time; 6:30. Although it was very busy, we had a reservation and were seated in a nice booth immediately. Our server Alex was exceptional and was very helpful and attentive at the right times. My date ordered the seared scallops while I ordered the “special’, a filet which was cooked perfectly. The special also provided a flight of 3 wines with dinner and the variety was really nice. We both had the Key Lime desert which was a nice smaller size…. not too filling. I know we will go back. Thank you Alex !!!

Had a light lunch here, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ate a grilled cheese and it was hands down the CHEESIEST grilled cheese I’ve ever had!

Quiet pretty area where you can dine in robes and slippers for a full spa experience.

Most of our experience was great, but I was greatly disappointed in the steak I ordered. We were seated quickly and well trained to by the staff. However, I ordered the waygu steak and it was not prepared well at all. I ordered it medium rare which should be served warm with a red center. This also should allow the fat to render and browning or maillard reaction on the exterior. It was cool, bright red and chewy with a grey exterior. It was quite rare. Of course I could have sent it back, but I'm order to cook it to get the browning on the exterior, it would've been well done on the inside and they had already proved they couldn't grill it well the first time. I would not recommend steak here. The smoked duck was great, the fried green tomatoes, Mac and cheese and brussel sprouts were all great. But stay away from the steak.
