    Ate there a year ago or so, and greatly enjoyed my meal. This time, not so much. It was super noisy (our group of four had to yell at each other) and the bar was slow (10 minutes + for drink order). Food was unremarkable.

    Got to Scripps for a late doctor appointment over an hour and half early so ducked in Seasons 52 which has quick access even though it’s in UTC mall, it’s on a corner. Grabbed a tuna tower, stuffed mushrooms, a couple cups of soup and golden beet salads with an order of flatbread. From the hostess, to our server, food expediter, manager, the service was consistently friendly yet top notch professional at the same time. The ambiance is warm with perfect candlelit lighting, sexy without being stuffy; we were dressed casually because we hadn’t planned on our spontaneous dinner there. We are seniors but the staff made us feel welcomed and appreciated. The food was great and the prices more reasonable than most restaurants of this caliber. I can’t say enough about how great this place is; the vibe of a well-loved staff who extend hospitality because they are part of an extended family! Thank you to Hector, the manager for sharing how they start their shifts with employee meals served up by their managers! That’s awesome!

    For the first time ever, my gluten-free flatbread, for the hummus and artichokes and celery platter was brought out first. There was about 10 minutes in between receiving the bread and the hummus and vegetables. I had to order more gluten-free flatbread because by the time I received the platter, the bread was very cold. Also, my silverware was dirty. Our server was excellent and the food delicious.

    I went to Seasons’s 52 for my birthday. This restaurant never disappoints. Fiona is an excellent server! She was professional and friendly. Everything went so smoothly. She timed her returns to our table to check on us perfectly. It was as if we were at her home and she was having the party for me. I want to thank her again for the personalized service. I will be asking to sit in her section the next time that I am at Season’s 52!

    We had a lovely time celebrating Thanksgiving at S52. It was very busy but they had it under control. We had a variety of orders in our group of 7. Three of us ordered the traditional dinner while the others had selections off the menu. WE all enjoyed our selections very much. It was amazing how quickly we were served our food.

    adequate portions, good turkey dinner, rolls were lacking in that they were not warm. I was not impressed with the sparking flight. Very plain since I had a flight there this summer with fruit in it. I know it was just sparkling wine ... boring. Will definitely go there again. My son and his wife enjoyed their meals. Waiter and waitress were phenomenal!

    Very nice Thanksgiving meal Only complaint rolls were not as good as years past not quite done enough. Also on the pricey side for level of restaurant thanksgiving meal was $40. . $40 plus a drink tax and tip makes it more like minimum $60 -65 per person.

    Happy hour flatbread and glass of wine for $12.50. The mushroom flatbread was so good and especially paired with Pinot Grigio. Regular menu item, steak on salad was great! Ambiance on the patio was pleasant and plenty warm with heaters. Our server was both helpful with some menu questions and friendly. Loved the experience and will return!
