I tried it because I got a $25 dining card from Amex and after going online to look at what it was I decided to try it for lunch. I went today at 3:30ish and the place was empty. Its an odd time to have lunch so I didn't think much of it. We sat outside and there was another table there with what seemed like the only other occupied table in the place. We were handed the menus when we walked in but it took a while for the server to come take our order. We ordered water which was brought over promptly and then I ordered a seared tuna app and a grilled wild salmon for my entree. My sister ordered an an app of some beans and mushrooms as well as an ahi tuna salad with salmon substituted for the tuna. The food took awhile to come out which is why I started looking around a little more and noticed there were like 6 tables at most that had people and the one next to us had already eaten. I wondered why our food was taking so long but if it was as good as I hoped I could forget the time it took to get my food. My seared tuna came and it was alright. I finished it and then after a while longer the rest came out. My salmon was the single worst salmon I've ever had. I wanna say it was an old piece of salmon since it smelled and tasted really fishy, which fresh salmon never should. It was on the specials menu and I know restaurants use this tactic to get rid of old food but mind you this entree came in at a hefty cost of $28 so I was thinking it would obviously be fresh, hence why I ordered it but boy was I wrong. I'm going back to avoiding fish on specials menus like the plague. My sister's app was forgettable, she took a few bites and left it. Her salad with the salmon substitution was good. Her non-wild salmon was better than mine and the piece was just as big. Her plate was only $14. I wouldn't have even paid that for mine. I wanted a beer and our server came by to the table next to us a few times while we were waiting for our food but didn't look our way once even though I kept looking at her and then saying excuse me when she would dart back inside from that table. She finally came by when someone from the kitchen brought out our food and I ordered my beer. I had practically finished my dish when my beer came. I kept scratching my head as to why the service was so bad even though the restaurant was practically empty. I'm surprised because of all the good reviews on here, especially some praising my servers excellent service. Service in this country tends to not be great which I've gotten used to but this one was just absolutely horrible especially given that the place was empty. My personal recommendation based on this experience, walk down two blocks to chicken kitchen and enjoy a good healthy cheap lunch there but if you want a nice restaurant, I wouldn't try this particular one. $75 for 2 people before tip considering what we got for it is an insult. I was half glad I had the $25 dining card and left a 10% tip. If our server hadn't at least brought quickly the water at the beginning and then espresso and the check at the end, she would've gotten no tip from me. Service: 1/5 Food: 1/5 for my wild salmon but 0/5 if you factor in the price. I have been to a few places that have made me want to start an account to review it on here because of how bad it was and seasons 52 was the one that actually made me do it, this is my 1st review. Its supposedly healthy seasonal food but I don't care what the theme is, when your seafood tastes old and you charge up the ying yang for it you won't be seeing me again.

Season's 52 is a rare finding in Miami. It's both healthy and delicious with fantastic menu offerings. We ordered the shrimp stuffed mushroom caps for an appetizer and filet mignon (perfectly cooked to order) for my entree. Both were well balanced and scrumptious. For dessert, we ordered a couple of minis including the pecan pie mini which was by far the best. Do yourself a favor and order the pecan pie mini. As an added bonus, the staff really makes you feel welcome. They're glad to have you and keep the highest standards for the food they put out. We have been back several times since our first visit and it's always been fantastic food and service!

First impression of this restaurant is very good...great Atmosphere, very good food and excellent service. We had a problem with our meals and the manager was at our table in less than a minute, very apologetic, more than an adequate response. If we lived here, we'd probably eat here at least every couple of weeks. Rotating menu is very clever and ensures a quality experience.

The food is good and feels fresh and healthy. The flatbreads are great. I love that they keep their menu updated to what is in season. The drinks are spectacular.

The only reason this place got 3 stars instead of 4 was because of the slow service. I sat there for 10-15 minutes waiting for a server...while the server who was outside passed me 3 times at least without even acknowledging me. Now, I know they were super slow...it was lunch time, it was just me and one other guy sitting outside. HOWEVER I do believe that it is the whole place's fault when a guest doesn't get greeted, or gets downright ignored. I was sat by the hostess - who should have let the server know that her section was seated. AND the manager was there..saw me get seated, then proceeded to not tell the server I was there. The other server who continued to come out and check on her guest also could have let my server know I was there. They place a coaster on your table so everyone knows you've been greeted....so it should have been obvious that I had not been. I had to flag down the server who was ignoring me, and then wait another 5 minutes for my server to finally show up. She wasn't even really friendly or apologetic. Just, "Are you ready to order?" No, actually, I've had time to study the menu and now I have questions! She did oblige and get me samples of both a soup and a wine (the wine selection is great, btw) and was relatively speedy the rest of my lunch. Still though. The whole thing took 1.5 hours. Who wants to spend 1.5 hours at lunch??? There are other places on Miracle Mile I'll go to first before visiting this place again. Yeah, it's delicious and beautiful, but I really hate being ignored.

A caveat: I am not much of a patron of franchises so my critique may be biased. My hypothesis: Americans are becoming obsessed with the notion that knowing your caloric intake determines whether you are deemed "healthy." I however do not subscribe to the calorie-counting culture; therefore, this bistro dishes are not worthy of celebration. The day that I wake up obese is the day that I will reconsider my position.. Overall, I walked away more impressed with the concept, wine, and the service than the food. I have been there twice for dinner out of convenience. I tried the tomato and shrimp flatbread and both times was more excited by the description than the sabor. Perhaps, they are cooking with canola instead of butter or olive oil to keep the calories down... For entrees, I tried the scallops and Pork tenderloin and it was good but not delicious. My friend had the Rainbow trout and we agreed that was the best entree. As for the desserts, the novelty supersedes the quality. Also, getting to the bathroom is a bit of a bottleneck. What I do like is that it is low-lit, the flatbread and desserts are easy to share so they score high on the "fun factor." Also, both the kitchen and the servers are open especialy when I inquired if the scallops were wet or dry-

Had dinner there for the first time last night. Simple healthy menu items with every item including dessert no more than 475 calories. Besides their food, the staff is incredibly friendly and pleasant. One of the friendliest if not the friendliest staff of any restaurant I have been to in Miami. Lorena waited on us and she was a pleasure. Definitely worth checking out.

My initial experience was good at this restaurant, is a different approach, where they try to focus on healthy food and everything below 475 calories but without leaving any of the good ingredients out. Staff is super helpful, the place is rather more classy and traditional than Miamesque, my experience was over a business lunch so wasn`t able to pay attention to all details or to over order in order to enter Yelp mode. Initially Ill give them 3 stars, just because they didnt surprise my palate, but Im completely open and looking forward to come back again and hopefully change it to a higher rating.

I have become a regular to this place, you will find me at the bar enjoying a live "piano man" after 6p and a friendly bar staff. The food is fresh, tasty and healthy. I have to second Jessica's comments "The menu at seasons is interesting. First, it's seasonally inspired. Second, everything listed is under 475 calories. Nothing is low fat or low carb. It's just an appropriate portion." I especially like the flatbreads and the salads. In short it is friendly enough to frequent and enjoy a good meal and great atmosphere.

so i finally made it out to season 52 last night after a networking event and i was quite satisfied. the atmosphere is fun and somewhat loud, but quite enough to have a nice conversation. a definite first date type of place. keep in mind that their under 500 calorie claim is for EACH item. the wines were reasonably priced, except for one ( priced at $90) the tuna crunch salad is amaziing! there flatbreads are great! and the stuffed mushroom with shrimp is great! and the deserts were awesome remember that 500 calorie claim??? well add it up... salad = 475 mushroom =550 flat bread = 475 desert = 375 totals 1,875 calories! i felt like such a fat ass! but at the end of the night, it was a good time. i'll definitely be visiting them agian and reservations are a must!!!!!

Went there for a date night with my wife. Very nice!. Totally new restaurant. Decor and ambiance gives a northeastern feel to the place. Great service. Good food but the fillet Mignon, my wife had, was great,( "melts in your mouth-great"). If you go; reserve thru Yelp- it's a great service. As I left my home, logged on to yelp, got address, reserved and when I got there we sat right away and felt like they knew me already. I will take there some Friends next time.

The place itself is lovely and the orange martini is great. Now everything else was awful. The bartender was rude and aloof as was the snooty piano player. I requested a song and she ignored me but a man flirted with her and he got his song right away!! The food was a disappointment.

Started lunch with a bang! The rosemary and parmesan flatbread was delicious! I had the goat cheese ravioli with veggies (asparagus, tomato, mushrooms). Flavorful and filling. Closed it off with a mini-dessert (a dessrt shot) of key lime, which was also good although I always prefer a bit more tart in my key lime. Service from door through table was excellent. This place is spot on for lunch.

I recently had a group dining event for about 50 guests at Seasons 52, to celebrate our marriage. We didn't want a church wedding, but instead wanted to have an event to bring our families and friends together. We were choosing between Seasons, Joe's Stone Crab, and Smith & Wollensky; but ended up on Seasons because of the healthier food, and we're glad we did (after the night was over, we realized that it was more than the food that made the night awesome, details below). The room: We rented out the Napa and Sonoma rooms, and there were four rectangular tables set up seating at least 10 people comfortably. The space was perfect for 50 guests; it wasn't too crowded, everyone described it as being "cozy". The decor was nice - same as the decor in the main dining area, and had a wall full of wine bottles which was cute. The lighting was a little brighter than in the main dining area, but it was perfect because of the type of event. Also the temperature in the room was perfect; I've been to places where its too cold or just hot, but none of that was an issue the whole night. The service: Our event started at 7pm, but my husband, myself and a few friends showed up about and hour early to set up some table arrangements. The manager and executive chef came over to meet us and told us if there was anything we needed to make the night perfect to let them know. We were also introduced to the wait staff assigned to us for the night - Enrique, Camille, Betsy, and one more whom I can't remember the name. They asked how we wanted the night structured, and we agreed on cocktails, appetizers, main course, dessert. Enrique was great and coordinated timing details such as when we wanted him to fire up the flatbreads while we were having cocktails and told us how long it would take so that we wouldn't be waiting too long for it; he was checking in with us at different points during the night to see how we were doing, etc. Overall the waiters did a phenomenal job in taking care of everyone, and was just on top of everything. The food: There are different menu options for group dining, and we chose the Cabernet Sauvignon menu. It came with flatbreads, appetizers, salad, main course, and dessert. It was served to us family style on silver platters, and it was delicious!!!!! Everyone was commenting on how great the food was. Overall: It was a great experience though the combination of ambiance, food, and service. Highly recommend Season's 52 if you need to have a flawless event.

I love the food at Seasons 52, however the bartenders are very rude at this location. My husband and I had dinner at this location over a month ago. We decided to have another drink after dinner, so we went to the bar. I took my martini from dinner with me. A bartender came up to my husband and asked him if he wanted something to drink. He ordered his cocktail. I then noticed that 3 bartenders kept looking at me and then talking to each other. One of them kept staring, so I asked if there something wrong. She said we didn't know where your drink came from. I made a joke and said across the street. Hello it's in your glass. She didn't seem to like it. I said you don't have to be so rude and her response was "you don't need to be so upset". She kept it going for at least a minute. Needless to say. I didn't have another drink. I would also like to add that we were there a month, or so prior to this visit. Our waiter was awesome. I would recommend not sitting next to the kitchen because there was a friend crawling on our waiter's arm. He handled it very well. We overlooked this because things happen, however rude service is not acceptable. I will enjoy Seasons 52 at another location.

Saturday Dec 3rd, the 4 of us friends went to Seasons 52. Valet greatly appreciated. Great atmosphere, nice setting restaurant to enjoy the best cosmopolitan and martini drinks. The bar tender was great! Dinner Nice booth, comfortable, clean, nice decor. We need the flashlight app to read the menu but love the lighting so don't change it but you could simply change your fonts on the menus. The staff was great. The food..., well the meats were perfectly cooked and tasted great! I would put less garlic in the mashed potatoes served with my lamb and ad a chop of lamb, 3 is simply not enough and I'm a 120 pd girl. The appetizer my girl friend and I had was the crab and shrimp stuffed mushroom witch was all wrong ....a little mushroom cap at the bottom, 2 hole shrimps under-cooked over and no crab, topped with cheese in a escargot dish. No seasoning, it tasted nothing. My husband had the Ahi tuna ... excellent. The service was fast, they brought the main course while our appetizers plates were still in front of us. Selection of wine is ok but no Italians...no Brunellos di Montalcino 2006, witch is my favorite. Over all it was a great evening 2 bottles of wine and a great dinner for $400.00 for the 4 of us. I will go back and recommend it , I love there concept of the healthy and seasonal cooking. Tanya

My girlfriends and I were looking for a nice place to go out to dinner, and this restaurant exceeded our expectations. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was very good, very attentive but never annoying, and the food well... it was incredible!!, It is a seasonal menu and all the entrees are under 475 calories, and don't you think that the portions are small because they are not... And then they have this little desserts that are mini versions of like pecan pie, or key lime pie, etc... So if you are like me that have a sweet tooth you can have your delicious desserts and don't feel guilty about it. So great place highly recommend everybody to try it.

A very nice option for gluten-free/celiac safe dining. The menu is pretty limited but I have never gotten sick from eating here. They appear to be very careful with their preparations of gluten-free foods. I am also dairy-free and since there is no butter in their kitchen, you can be sure that you won't get hidden sources of dairy after telling them to leave off cheese or sour cream. Always crowded and a little on the noisy side, which is why I don't give it five stars.

I have been to about 5 or 6 Seasons 52 restaurants and love them all. This is the first time in the Coral Gables store and the atmosphere was very nice with a young lady playing the piano. I had a pasta dish and glass of wine. Both were very nice and the pricing was on point. The service was a little spotty and cost them the 5th star. When taking inventory the bartender and counter should try to work together a little more so we do not have to flag her down. My 2 friends also enjoyed themselves and we will surely come again.

Went here for lunch for the first time yesterday. Wow. Food was amazing, service was great, it was clean and classy. I ordered the Mayan snapper, which I normally wouldn't order at a restaurant only because it's usually hard to get fresh fish that's cooked properly. This snapper was cooked to perfection and it tasted clean, very fresh, and was seasoned just right. I almost passed on dessert because I was so full but then our waitress came around with the display of desserts and we couldn't say no. I got the carrot cake and hubby got the pecan pie. Heaven!!! This is my new favorite restaurant.

I started to give this place two stars since I went there a Thursday ago and service a was perfect and came back with my parents to an experience that started out awful was saved by the manager and then ruined again. I am giving it three stars because of Jeffrey the manager for trying. First off, I made my reservation at the desk the week before and requested a certain booth and waitress. I didn't get either and all I did in between was move my reservation back. This would have been fine except when I mentioned this to the hostess she snootily told me "Well, we don't have that in the reservation." Um, yes I realize that this is why I brought it to your attention. A more appropriate response would have been I am so sorry we do not have any more booths available tonight but I will make sure that it is in the commuter for next time which is what the manager eventually said. I come to Coral Gables to get away from South Beach attitude. We arrived early and for the first time ever I had to wait until my actual reservation time they almost always get you in. That part was fine but then when we were finally sat it took more than 20 minutes for a waiter to acknowledge, introduce themselves or bring us water. I finally flagged down a waitress whose table it wasn't and she got our waitress then she and the other waitress Diana stood next to our table and whispered to each other about how we were complaining (however they didn't whisper loud enough for me not to hear-clearly an amateur move and I was able to hear every single word which included things like "They say you didn't come introduce yourself and give them water and the other waitress being defensive and saying its not true." I am sure these conversations happen but do it outside the customers earshot. Finally, the manager came over and apologized and brought out our appetizers and soup fast. When he was paying attention everything was good. Towards the end of the meal it took forever -no one checked on our food, the check took a long time to come out and they originally forgot our hot water and tea. I am hoping this was just an off night for them since the week before I came and everything was perfect including my waitress. I really didn't appreciate the attitude from the hostess-the waitress eventually was nicer but still not that competent.

Joel was the most attentive and knowledgeable server I have had in a long time. From the moment we sat down he made us feel at home. We started with the Wine Tasting Special they have which is $15.00 per person ( this is only till 6pm) This includes a small tasting of 3 wines. Once you taste you choose 1 for a Full Glass and it comes with a Flat bread. We had the Garlic Chicken and Steak and Cremini it was delicious. We then participated in the Miami Spice Menu. The Menu was 4 Courses, I had the Tuna & Avocado Roll which was very flavorful. I then had the Steak Soup which was delicious and for the entree i chose the filet mignon which had the most amazing oaky and smoky and grilled flavor. I am a big steak person and I was in love with this steak, it was accompanied with veggies and mash potatoes. And we ended with the dessert shot which I had the Key lime Pie. All great selections and to top it all off they had a pianist playing in the back ground. I recommend this restaurant to any one in the Coral Gables area looking for a culinary delight and amazing service. You will walk out like we did with a smiling face and a full tummy. Thank you Joel for reminding us great service still exist. We will be back!

Everything on the menu is less than 475 calories. So don't order wine or beer or you'll blow your diet! They are know for their flat breads. Try the garlic chicken. As for entree, I had the cedar plank salmon. It was moist, HOT and cooked perfectly. We got there early and sat at the bar before dinner. I've never seen a piano behind the bar area. Yep, you heard me. The bartenders walk around someone playing a piano while they serve drinks. The bar was relatively empty and thus quiet. And if the flatbreads and salmon don't fill you up, you'll have room for dessert served in a shot glass for $2.50. You get a taste of one of their delicious desserts at about the 1/4 of the size. Genius move to serve them in the small size via the shot glass as a vessel.

This was my 1st visit. I had called ahead to make sure it was child friendly, I have 2 (3 year and a 1 1/2 years), the response was yes it is. It might be but not on a Friday night. It's very dark and no crayons to entertain kids, but that said everything else was fantastic. My son loves veggies and the chicken and broccoli dish was perfect for him and at the end they made him a fruit cut which was great. Our server was very knowledgable and great with recommendations especially when I had little time to look at the menu with my 2 little ones. The wine he selected for my dinner was spot on. I wish I could remember his name he was great. He worked Friday June 10, party of 5 we were seated close to kitchen and my son had chicken and broccoli he deserves a pat on the back. Can't wait to visit you again when I'm in Miami.

I like the concept of this restaurant, The menu changes every season to feature food the is fresh. Most of the meals are under 500 calories. They have a nice wine selection. And a nice decor.

Birthday dinner was here and I did not regret one thing about it! Our server was fantastic, the food was exquisite, the ambiance was great with the live piano player and her sultry voice...well, it was unforgettable! I recommend the BBQ Chicken salad- I know, sounds so common but it's filling and so delicious! The dessert presentation is quite clever as it makes you want to eat all of them (you'll have to go in order to find out what I'm talking about!) but the all chocolate one is perfection in a cup! It's not too chocolate-y, it's just right. The menu choices are delicious and everything is under 475 calories which makes looking good very easy!

Seasons 52 is a great restaurant for those looking for a fresh and healthy meal. Everything on the menu has nutritional info listed, all the ingredients are gathered from local farms (supposedly), and the menu rotates seasonally, so there are always new items to try. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and has an excellent bar with live music at nights. I have had a bit of everything on the menu, soups, flat breads, steaks, pork loins, fish, desserts - and they are all great. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that while everything is great, nothing leaps out as being amazing. I will say that the tomato basil soup is amazing (when available), and the flat breads are excellent.

Looking for a Miami Spice menu to try out in the Gables, this was the winner. I had never been before but always heard great things. If you're going in to play along with the whole low calorie, health bit deal, then don't do Miami Spice. However, if you're looking to have a really good meal with excellent service in a nice atmosphere, then this is the place. We arrived at 7 on a Tuesday night to an almost empty dining area. However, by the time we left, the place was packed. They scored points in my book for flat out giving you the Miami Spice menu, unlike some restaurants that try to hide it. We had the tuna and avocado roll, stuffed mushrooms, salad, filet mignon and key lime and chocolate mousse desserts. I can't say I disliked one thing that I tried. We left so full but not disappointed. It's an awesome deal (a $33 dinner menu) for Miami Spice, but I will definitely be back on a regular night.

Such a good casual lunch kept simple yet delicious. Wine of the day was good deal unexpected service impeccably courteous
First of all, I love food. This is a restaurant trying to market healthy food which it fails at miserably. I have never had a more tasteless and un-satisfying meal in all my life. They took a juicy buffalo burger that was supposed to be cooked medium rare, cooked it to the consistency of a hockey puck, and put it on a stale, cardboard tasting, whole grain bun. They served said hockey puck with a thimble full of what was supposed to be truffle sauce to try to give it some semblance of flavor. The tots were fried chunks of tofu that again had zero flavor. I imagine this food is what they fed inmates at Alcatraz, #prisonriot. One star because they did have good service. If you enjoy food that tastes good this is NOT the place for you.

Seasons 52 is pretty delicious, although after checking out their nutritional information online I'm a little turned off by how healthy they claim to be. All of their dishes are under 475 calories. That is per dish. Ordering an appetizer, entree, side dish and dessert can run you over 1500 calories before even getting to a drink. Also, low calorie does not mean low fat and especially not low sodium, but that's what you get in most restaurants. With that said, it is pretty easy to make good and healthy choices here. They have plenty of vegetarian friendly dishes, and the portions are just right. My husband and I came to dinner on a week night with our toddler, and the staff was really accommodating. The ambiance is a little romantic, but nothing kills that like a kid shouting, "DANCE!" when the pianist began to play.

My hubby and I headed for Seasons 52 to celebrate the last hurrah of the Miami Spice 2012 season :( The sadness is for the end of the season, not for our experience at the restaurant. In fact, we chose this particular place because it never disappoints. They have consistently good food and we were very glad to learn that they decided to participate in Miami Spice this year. From an earlier experience, we knew that their Miami Spice Menu included some of the most popular items of their regular menu and the portions are generous, so you will feel satisfied at the end of the meal. One thing that you have to keep in mind when you go there is that their menu changes frequently, but it's so expansive that there is always something for everyone. This time I started my meal with the ripe plum tomato flatbread with fresh basil, roasted garlic, and melted Parmesan cheese. I really liked it. Besides, I was so hungry that my hubby was able to grab only one piece before I threatened to kill him if he touched my food again. The flatbread is really thin and crispy and the tomatoes and basil were definitely fresh. If you go to Seasons 52 try one of their flatbreads, they have a great selection and they are always yummy. For his appetizer my hubby ordered the roasted shrimp, lump crab and spinach stuffed mushrooms. This appetizer was delicious and very original. It comes served in the type of dish that is normally reserved for escargot. Each little hole has a serving of mushroom and a whole shrimp with layered spinach, crab and parmesan cheese. One of my new favorite things there. We both wanted to have soup, but we didn't like any of the two options they had so he went with the baby spinach salad with seasonal pears, toasted pine nuts, and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. I love fruit in a salad, so this hit the right spot for me. I know this sounds a little too healthy for us, but we were just starting the meal. I also ordered a salad for my second course :/ but I went with the mixed greens, toasted pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, cucumbers, and white balsamic vinaigrette. It was okay, but I'm not really into ordering salads unless they have tortilla chips and generous servings of chicken, cheese, bacon, chicharrones, truffles or any other similar light topping :) The good thing is that we were only half way through our meal and our entrees didn't disappoint. My hubby had the char crust fillet mignon with cremini mushrooms, rainbow carrots, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes. Ok, I confess that when he excused himself to the bathroom, I ate half his steak and all of the mashed potatoes. But I rearranged everything before he came back and he didn't notice anything missing :) He is a rookie! For my (second?) entree I had the caramelized sea scallops with roasted asparagus, and sun-dried tomato-mushroom pasta. The scallops were yummy! perfectly cooked, moist inside, nicely seared outside, just the right combination of sweet and savory. The pasta was really original. I thought it was israeli couscous at first but then realized it was pasta. It was nice and tender and I cleaned out the plate before my hubby got to try anything (grrr....he had been warned!). Desserts at Seasons 52 are like Christmas to me. They bring you eight (yes, eight) different desserts in shot glasses for you to pick one. Well, not me, I chose a bit more than one and ate them too. My rookie hubby watched them disappear quickly one by one... This was a great way to end a very gratifying Miami Spice Season in 2012.

I went to Seasons 52 during my lunch break yesterday. Their whole shtick is in-season, healthy food (all menu items under 475 calories. I ordered the jalapeno braised beef tacos. They were abut $10 and absolutely amazing. Great flavor and a lot of food - was hard to believe that the whole thing was under 475 cal. The ambiance was great and the service was good too. I definitely plan to return.

To start off I was a disappointed that you guys had no bread at the begining of the meal, it was my Dads Birthday so I expected a great culinary experience for the price unfortunately not so!! The service was good but not great they're was a point that we never saw our server and the restaurant wasnt even busy. The food was very so so nothing out of this world very dissapointing also decided to do a super fruit Martini nothing great tasted better Martinis. Dessert was also very lame for such an expensive place all they had was these little samplers of dessert to choose from at least mine was good it was strawberry something with a piece of Cannoli, On a Good note the Piano player was great so at least that made the food bearable. So I was definetly dissapointed after all the great Yelp reviews I expected more from such a high scale restaurant.

I just LOVE Seasons 52. I am not a fan of chains at all but boy this restaurant does not disappoint. The menu is seasonal which I love and everything is under 475 calories...WHAT? yes I said it! 475 calories, get ready to eat your heart out! I love the portion sizes as at any other restaurant I have to say a prayer and hope to god that I don't have a heart attack after my meal as the sizes are HUUUUGE. Here, nope, you don't have to say your prayers! The waiter was really friendly and made some jokes throughout the meal. He was attentive and no complains about him. We had the organic pomegranate acai blueberry iced tea which was delish! They charged us $4.25 each (we all had this drink) and he informed me that they sell it in whole foods so today I went to buy some and they were $1.35 there. HUGE difference....I understand it's a restaurant but STILL they are buying it at wholesale prices so there is no excuse to rack it up that much! I digress...onto the meal. We had edamame which was good and all 3 of us had the BBQ chicken with green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes. Now, I usually do NOT eat chicken but I did some research on where their chickens are from and it is like the first certified humane chicken farm in the US and I kept googling if there were any people that found out otherwise behind the scenes and reported it but everything turned up really well. Way to go Seasons 52! It was really good and you could tell that the meat had no hormones or additives in it. I've also had the shrimp with pasta dish in the past which was also mmm-mmm-good! We skipped on the dessert and headed to Misha's cupcakes but they did look pretty tasty here!! Next time next time....

The food here was excellent. I had the lobster bisque as an appetizer and it was VERY good. As an entree I had the Maui Ahi Tuna Crunch Salad, which had grilled pineapple, seared tuna, & almonds with a toasted sesame dressing. It was very good, but a bit plain, in my opinion. I also had a very delicious glass of Riesling (Selbach-Oster QbA) which was amazing! My husband had the Mayan Grouper with a black bean salad that added a tropical flavor to it which he really enjoyed and my son had a very generous portion sized children's grilled chicken and vegetables platter. For dessert we had a peanut butter something or the other and another called Rocky Road which was my favorite. What I liked the most about this place was the entertainment. Tonight they had a young woman playing the piano and singing. I'm not sure if it was my melancholic mood, but she played beautifully and sang equally great. She transformed songs that play on the radio as dance and even hip hop songs into jazzy/bluesy almost depressing melodies, which for this particular night was exactly what my ear wanted. From Usher to Camila, along with the tasteful decor and dim lighting, her talent made the ambiance of this restaurant a very pleasant one. Overall, great experience. You should try it.

The clever concept raises the bar on everyday retaurants. The food is good, healthy and well prepared. The staff is expertly trained. While Seasons 52 will never make the James Beard Best list! It is a place you can eat each week without getting bored.

I was very impressed after my lunch here! Walking in there is definitely a steakhouse ambiance but don't be fooled the menu is 5 stars healthy gourmet and surprisingly delicious! At 475 calories a plate this is the perfect place to share a few plates and not balloon up the calories. Our waiter Donavan was definitely the hostess with the mostess. He recommended me a great cocktail, the pomegranate martini, I absolutely loved it. It was refreshing but not to sweet nor overly salty like a margarita. The food was fresh and light but yet delicious. We devoured every dish including the mini indulgent desserts, a must try! Great lunch spot...can't wait to come back for dinner!

I tried Seasons 52 at the suggestion of several coworkers who raved about the place. I will admit that when I heard the dishes were all 475 calories I wasn't expecting much flavor. However I was pleasantly surprised. We started off with the Blackened Steak & Blue Cheese flatbread which was very good. For the entree we had the Springer Mountain Farm All-Natural BBQ Chicken and Swordfish. Both were flavorful and considerably sized portions. The size of our Pecan Pie and Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse was just right to make us feel content and not overly stuffed. The service was also on point.

Seasons 52 has to be one of my consistently favorite restaurants. You ALWAYS get the highest quality meal and never have to completely blow a good diet. The specials are always divine and tasty. Their service is up to par with any fine dining restaurant. Their mini desserts are to die for -- favorite is pecan pie!!

Richard S.
Everything was almost 5 stars but I didn't think the food was more than 4 stars. Some said their food was dry, mine was too salty. Service was excellent and everything was fast, food tasted fresh, and we had a private room so that made the experience better. They gave us complimentary dessert ("for new year") and went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for everyone.

How have I not reviewed Seasons 52 yet?? Somehow my review slipped through my fingers... I will quickly fix this Many moons ago, I discovered Seasons 52 when they opened up. In fact, I visited them soon after they opened this location. When they first opened, the front facade of the restaurant stood out on the Mile. There wasn't anything that looked even remotely as modern with a touch of rustic. Inside, everything is impecable. Always clean, orderly, and everyone is EXTREMELY professional and polite. They will always adress you by your last name and even offer white or black linens at the table. Quick note, most people don't know why a restaurant would offer black or white linen. Don't feel bad. I didn't know either. The idea is that you won't get white lint (from white cloth) on your dark/black clothing; or visa-versa. Knowing is half the battle, G.I. Joe! I've found for best experience, you should make reservations. They certainly allow for walk-ins, but if it is a busy time, you may have to wait quite some time. Once in a while they do have a live piano player near the bar. During cold/winter times, they have a fancy looking fireplace by the door. All individual servings are less than 475 calories. If you are health nut, like I am, this is a dream. They are even able to make certain dishes to order to be conscious of salt, gluten, or other specific health needs. If you have one of those types of needs, call ahead to see how they can help accomodate your needs. Appetizers are mostly flatbreads... well, at least that's what I end up having because they are that good. I have also had the edamame with Japanese salt. I would recommend against having the "basic" flat bread. It's not bad, but just seems to feel incomplete. There is a wide variety of flavors and you should try any of them. When they are served, they are cut into 8 pieces, so plan accordingly on how much you would like to have. Usually one flat bread serves about 2 people. The edamame is great too. The Japanese salt gives it a little kick, but by no means is it bad by itself. Let's pause again for a moment to discuss what makes Seasons 52 special. The name of the restaurant explains how they work in a very self referential way. Every season (winter, fall, summer, spring) they change the main body of their menu. In addition, they have a weekly menu (52 weeks in a year) in which they change a smaller portion of their menu. There are staples that I've seen all year round, such as the Tiger Shrimp Penne pasta (which is very good) and the basic flat bread. The chef de cuisine makes their best attempt to match the season to the cuisine and local culture. I've had a variety of dishes and (weekly) specials. They are all filling without being overwhelming. Lots of great flavors. I would like to recommend one or two dishes, but it's difficult because they change it so often. Try something new and you won't regret it. Dessert... oh dangerous desserts. The have what is called "indulgences" as their dessert. They are essentially shot glasses full of various flavors. Carrot cake, Rocky Road, Pecan Pie, Fruits, Espresso cake... the list goes on and they are ALL great. Try two! 1/2 Appetizer [~240 calories] + Entree [475 calories] + 1 indulgence [~250 calories] = 1000 calories. Bottom Line: Guilt free and amazing service keeps me returning! Bottom Line:

As I stare at the bartender, thinking since he's a mere 36 inches away maybe he'll figure out I want a drink. Waiting and waiting and bam success. Finally after 5 minutes I have a bartender. He turned out to be rather helpful. And pointed me to the stuffed mushrooms with crab meat, and the roasted stuffed artichoke. Both were an Andy hit! The piano player, she was so hot and so sultry, I didn't even mind the flat notes. The entertainment puts this place at a whole new level. The cons, yes as you get older your vision is the first supposedly to go. In my case its an eye disease that is progressively darkening my world, but with no help from Seasons, it's virtually dark, with an unreadable menu! So for the love of God and all things holy, change your fonts! I like this place, the bar is the best place to eat, as you are surrounded by all things cool!

Came in for a late night dinner and was surprised to discover that everything on the menu was 450 calories or less. I had the scallops and risotto which was very good. We finished with one of the guilt-free sized desserts. There was a piano at the bar when we were there on Friday night.

One of my favorite restaurants in South Florida. So reasonably priced and the food is hands down AMAZING!!!!!! Nice place to celebrate birthdays too because you can go in their private dining room at no extra charge. I also love sitting at the bar and bring entertained by the pianist who sings Top 40 song.

Hadn't had such a great dining experience in awhile! From the moment we walked in, service was impeccable. We arrived a bit earlier than our reservation and sat for a little while at the bar, the bartender was really good and the drinks were well made. We were promptly seated at the time of our reservation, the ambiance is quite inviting and romantic. Noise level is enough to be able to carry a conversation. Now onto the food...we tried the Plum Tomato Flatbread, Shrimp and lobster stuffed mushrooms and my date had the fillet mignon. Everything was delicious! This place has a new fan! can't wait to go back.

This place is in a nice location (Miracle Mile), nice atmosphere. But we did not have a good experience with our server (actually she was pretty rude) and I think it's overpriced for the quality and amount of food. Being health conscious and smaller portion is good, but prices are not reflected. Also their dessert is quite disappointment.

One of my favorite places in Miami. I go almost every week and service is always great (very rare in Miami even in the best restaurants). Food is very well thought and the mini indulgences are a perfect way to end a meal. At the bar, Jesus and Sarah always makes us feel at home - The piano is just a big plus for me.

The first thing that struck me upon walking in is that this restaurant does not feel very "Miami." It's a rather large, handsome, dimly lit, brick & wood affair. There are quite a few tables and booths, and to the left of the restaurant sits a stately, substantial bar with live piano music (at least when I was there on Sunday night). It looks and feels like something I would expect in Aspen or Vail. The only things missing are hooks for winter coats, and snow bunnies in stretch pants sitting at the bar. Service is amiable to say the least - and very Houstons-like with the entire staff clad in black. The food? I'll get to that in a second. I just have to come right out and say it, though - this place is not "cool." It's by no means the urban-chic that seems to be so ubiquitous in Miami right now. In fact, it seems to be a bit of a throwback, beginning with the patrons - let's just say that the median age here seems to be pretty high. By no means will this place set your little hipster hearts aflutter. The menu is a modest one-pager, wine list on the front. It seemed to be a nice list. Beers on offer are a bit lame, though they do have Cigar City's Jai-Alai. I didn't see a cocktail menu, though I suspect they are capable of mixing up some excellent "classic" cocktails. I'll test this suspicion out someday. I think the idea here is healthy, yet flavorful, fine dining, with a menu that changes by the season (hence, the name). None of the entrees top 475 calories, and that's true of the apps, too. I was in my Yelp review mode, so I was hoping to order as much as I thought I could eat. I started out with a seasonal roasted squash plate ($3.75!) and the grilled steak and cremini mushroom flatbread. The winter squash was tasty and very simple. There were meaty slabs of what I think were butternut, acorn and delicata varieties. When was the last time you had such a healthy appetizer? I was a big fan of the flatbread - extremely thin crust with equally thin slices of steak, chunks of mushroom and dabs of melted blue cheese. After that, I had the wood roasted pork tenderloin, and I was impressed. The succulent, moist pork medallions were perfectly cooked to medium (as noted by the server), not at all overdone and dry as pork sometimes can be. It carried with it a slight hint of maple and rosemary. The meat rested on a bed of polenta, spinach and more cremini mushrooms - a subtle dish, no doubt, but very well-executed. Desserts come in shot glasses for $2.50. I love this concept. They come out with a tray of 7-8 of them, and hand them to you on the spot when you choose. I went with the pecan pie-in-a-shot-glass. It was great, how could pecan pie not be? I also loved the vanilla mousse underneath the "pie" part, that was a nice touch. And yes, your shot glass is 475 calories or less, though I'm guessing that they all scrape up against that 475 calorie ceiling ;) I'm looking forward to coming back. I think we need more restaurants like this in Miami.

Some one in management just ruined one of the best places in Miami by getting rid of the piano player. We used to love it. Have spent thousands of dollars over the last years and the reason, the only place in town with a piano bar. We went Sunday, it was ridiculous. Instead of fine entertainment there was a liquor display. Seasons neither has the best food nor best wine, you got rid of the best thing you had going. Won't be going back, its now like a funeral parlor.

I don't know where to start with this review... should I tell you how awesome it was to have a sweet and attentive waiter first? Or how nice it is to sit back and enjoy a meal while worrying a teeny bit less about the calorie count? Or maybe I should skip straight to dessert and tell you how I housed two decadent and delicious dessert shots before my dining partner had time to look up from his. Wherever I start this review it's going to end at the same glowing description of a much needed evening out. This was a cheat meal that didn't make me feel like I had cheated at all. Seasons 52 has taken healthy to a finer dining level. While you may be put off by smaller portion sizes, stop and remember they've done that on purpose to keep their entrees under 475 calories. I'm willing to pay an extra buck or two for that and a more seasonally focused menu, which they also boast. They change their weekly specials 52 times a year (which is why their name is Seasons 52). I definitely recommend making a reservation since we heard people waiting upwards of 45 minutes on a Saturday night. I can't wait to come back here and try different parts of their menu. Dinner on this trip was the pork tenderloin and the scallops -- both entrees were delicious! I stopped and noted that nothing tasted like it had MSG in it, a welcomed surprise I'll tell you! If you're looking for a date night that won't bust your belt, come to Seasons 52 -- you'll feel fancy without feeling flabby!

Since every option on the menu is under 475, I knew coming in that I wasn't going to find anything worthy of a grown man's appetite. I had to settle for a Piedmontese Sirloin Steak. What that translates to is buffalo steak. It's very lean with nothing in the way of fat to help with the flavor profile. It was definitely a stark contrast to my previous night's meal of a bone-in ribeye at Fleming's. But, if you're having dinner with a bunch of your girls, then you are going to love this place! Seriously, how can you go wrong with so many low calorie options? I think I drank more calories here than I ate. For a man, I can't recommend this place to you at all. I'd much rather have a meal at a steakhouse, Hillstone, or even a Cuban restaurant. But if you're with someone that's calorie-conscious and you still want to have a night out at an upscale venue, then I can't think of a better option than Seasons 52. The bar is nicely appointed with a piano player serving as your nightly entertainment and there are half a dozen or so tables on the patio if people watching is your thing. Steak is my thing...

Went last night for a bite with hubby. We decided to sit outside the bar on the sidewalk, it was a bit dark inside for my tastes. Our server, Joel S. Was fantastic, very personable, knowledgeable and thorough. We started with the proscuitto and cheese flatbread, excellent, and the ahi tartar, better than excellent. Then we ordered the scallops with asparagus and risotto and the steak fillet cooked rare+. Both were very tasty and filling. We finished the meal with three of the tasty sampler desserts, the best being the key lime pie. Overall a great dining experience and particularly liked the piano player, he sang well, low key and familiar songs. We will definitely come back next time we visit Miami.

Really great restaurant. This was my first time with my wife and a friend. The atmosphere was very nice, went during lunch (1:45pm). it's pretty big, and it's just a beautiful spot in the middle of Coral Gables Miracle Mile. Our server Andrew was super, he gave us a sample of one of the desserts to try which was very tasty, not filling or too sweet. I had the flatbread pesto chicken, very well cooked and nice presentation (took pictures). Wife had the maple glazed chicken which is a pretty big portion but she liked it. For appetizer we had the chicken skewers which were well cooked, almost fell off the skewer they were so tender and juicy. The lemonade is awesome, handmade, very fresh, again not very sweet. Most lemonades leave me wanting to drink a big cup of water after because of the sugar. Thanks Seasons 52, we will be back :) P.S. The dessert was awesome!

Had such a great experience last night at Seasons 52 and couldn't wait to YELP about it! Made a reservation on Opentable an hour prior which was very helpful to not have to wait more than 5 min. once we arrived. We sat at the bar and watched the piano player and ordered some delicious martinis. I love the dark chocolate espresso one!! Also, you really get 2 for the price of 1, so don't let the $13 price scare you off. For dinner we tried several different flatbreads, organic salads, corn soup, and the salmon dinner. All were excellent. We can't wait to return!!!

I guess its a good thing that everything on their menu is LESS THAN 475 CALORIES. But I found myself leaving there consuming MORE THAN 1400 :( Yelpers recommended the flat bread so I ordered the steak and cremini mushroom and it was good (see uploaded photo). While waiting for my main dish to come out I ended up ordering a second one from their weekly special menu. It was a mushroom, goat cheese with truffle oil and it was amazing (see uploaded photo). My hunger would of been satisfied with both flat bread but my spicy chicken chile relleno came out (see photo uploaded). It gave me a hard look so I had to finish it off :D. The dish was not as good as the flat bread. They have miniature desserts that they brought over but I had to pass on it. Writing this review during lunch hour is making me crave for the flat breads.

So I am not a calorie counter by any means, but this is a great place for those that are. Be warned, just because every dish is less X calories, does not mean you can order twice as many appetizers or desserts as you normally...especially the desserts! (Desserts come in tiny little cups and are oh so pretty and sound so delicious. And they are! But every time I go me and my friends just say.."1 of each", which really defeats the purpose of seasons 52! hahaha flat bread is highly recommended. Pretty yummy and one of the highlights of the meal. There is something to be said about a dish that has an extra X calories because they used more butter or cream, but considering the health factor, the dishes are pretty good! Additionally, the restaurant itself looks very nice and upscale, without influencing the prices!

I booked for a graduation dinner here since it's one of the few kitchens that opened until 11PM. My party was running late. I called ahead and they were gracious enough to wait for us! Our waiters were pleasant and chatty. We were seated quickly and well taken care of! The food came out in a timely manner. My party ordered almost everything on the menu, so I can confidently say we enjoyed our meals! Flatbreads were a nice and light starter. Loved the veal and scallops. The filet was excellent. And of course...dessert was amazing! Even my grandparents (traditional Chinese folk) were complimented their cooking and portions. Of all restaurants, Seasons 52 does an excellent job in getting all three courses in! I am definitely looking forward to having dinner here again! Thank you Seasons 52 for taking such good care of us!

This place leaves a lot to be desired. The hostess sat us by a large party with screaming children even though there were many other tables available. The restaurant wasn't very busy but the waiter took over 10 minutes to come out and ask for our drink order. I ordered my steak medium but it came out well done. I don't expect the service nor the food to be 5 stars at this place but I expected better than what we received. I will not be returning.

I'm undecided on whether this place should be two or three stars - between "Meh and A-OK." I liked the service and the concept. The vibe is nice in a formal-casual chain-restaurant type of way. But I can't really give this place a higher rating since the food is on the bland side and the portions are on the small side for the price. And as for the food, the only thing I could really recommend to date after coming here two times is the flatbread that is served here. And maybe also the drinks. For other things, I'd much rather walk to its less-healthy, but more scrumptious tasting sister restaurant, Houston's/Hillstone, farther down the Mile. I can't say I'd return, but if someone I know wants to be back here, I wouldn't throw a fit.

Health conscious? Then why or why did I have gastric distress both visits to this way over priced place? Sat down with a date, ordered a shrimp cocktail, awful small, warm shrimp and poor service to boot. I have tried the bar several times, I do like the piano player of Wednesdays and Thursdays, but now I am tiered of getting ripped off with the wine offerings and pricing. Imagine, they tout their fine wine offerings, by their resident expert, bull, he is no expert except in fattening the bottom line, not many, if any decent wines. As you can read, I am not impressed with other reviews, just telling it like is. You would do yourself a favor by going a little ways further to Prime, just down the road.

Since I was in town, my boyfriend's parents decided to have another date night with us (dinner) before i go home. Yay! Actually it was not too bad. Atmosphere is okay, good for having a romantic dinner. Got to sit near the kitchen and was watching the cooks prepare the food. Cool. Menu is not much, one page including the specials, the back are alcoholic drinks. Price on the other hand is a little steep but it is semi fancy restaurant so it is a given. The food is pretty good. Smaller servings (depending on meals) but gives you a full tummy. Our server was semi attentive but also forgetful at most times. She brought 2 iced teas instead of one and forgot the water. She said she was going to bring it but never did until asked twice. She also had to ask twice (make sure) on what we ordered. The lump of crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms appetizer was definitely great. Perfect for a couple pairing or if you're really hungry just for you. Shrimp ceviche (i believe) just like the stuffed mushrooms it was in small quantity. Anyway the bf and his parents seem to enjoy it but it wasn't the greatest ceviche out there. The main entree grilled chicken with tamarind sauce, broccoli, and mashed sweet potato (mine) was very good. It was the perfect proportion. I actually thought I wouldn't love the sweet mashed potatoes, wrong. Rainbow trout with potato wedges and carrots (bf/ his mom) was excellent as well. As soon as I sampled some from my bf I found a new fish to eat and it was not overly seasoned either. Salad & Chili (his dad) was just a simple salad nothing fancy and from what I heard about the chili it was alright. At the end of our meal I was surprised on what came out, our desserts. We did not even ask for any and our server came out with a tray of their million dollar desserts. It was in shot glasses and their were different flavors. You just pick what flavors you want or get the whole tray. The cannoli raspberry was great and rocky road seemed to chocolatey for me. Although it was good and I wish I could of tried all of it.

Benn here several times. Every time it has been great, except for today. Went today a 4PM. The place was empty. The service was irritatingly slow. The lettuce and tomatoes in my salad were stale and the steak was cold. Looked like what I was served had been there since lunchtime. Very disappointed.

I came here for lunch last week and i absolutely loved my experience here. I have been anticipating trying this place and finally had the opportunity to come during my lunch break and try it. Let me go on by saying that at any time of day this place is always packed. we thought we were not going to be able to get a seat quickly but the hostess was very accomodating and got us to a table quickly. The waitress was very friendly and explained everything in the menu very well. We opted to get the flatbreads which were both very good. I got the steak and mushroom one which was great, although i would have liked for it to have some sauce or something on it for a little extra flavor. The mini desserts are also really good if you want something sweet but dont want to over indulge yourself. I havent been here for dinner, but when i do ill make sure to update my review.

Impressive. I went for my girlfriend's mother's birthday and I immediately took a liking to this place the moment I stepped foot inside. A somewhat dark ambiance, 52 seasons is exactly what I look for when celebrating an occasion. Good food, class, and innovation. We sat at the Chef's Table, and walked past a circular bar (that had a piano in the center of it featuring a young girl wearing heels singing Rihanna/Coldplay covers; interesting) Once we sat down, the waiter introduced himself and wished a happy birthday to my girlfriend's mom. He then proceeded to serve us samplings of the duck; compliments of the owner. It was a polite (and tasty) notion. The food was delicious, chicken and pasta + red wine and I was good to go. We managed to save room for some chocolate tiramisu. Overall, I highly recommend this place to take your hot lover (or your hot lovers mom).

I was really excited to check out Seasons 52 since everything on their menu is under 475 calories and the menu changes seasonally. I also have been hearing about the flatbreads so I knew a trip to the restaurant was a must. First and foremost, I want to mention how nice all the employees were. They all seemed to be very focused on customer satisfaction, and really tried to make my experience at the restaurant great. To begin with my friend and I ordered one of their renowned flat breads. We went for the special of the week which was a gyro flatbread. The flatbread lacked a bit of the gyro flavor that I was hoping for, but overall I was really pleased with it. Next time I go I plan on trying another flatbread to see what else Seasons 52 has to offer. I had been told that since everything on the menu was under 475 calories I might not find the meal filling enough, so I was a bit concerned of whether or not I would be satisfied with my meal. My friend and I both ordered the spicy chicken chile rellano and I thought it was scrumptious. It was definitely filling and definitely spicy. I was really happy with my selection and I would recommend it to anyone who goes to the restaurant. At this point we were asked if we wanted to try one of the mini desserts, and being someone who never shies away from a good dessert, I was all for it. My friend immediately went for the strawberry shortcake and said it was great. I took the waitresses suggestion and had the Belgian chocolate rocky road. I also thought the dessert was great. All in all, I thought Seasons 52 was great and I was really happy with everything that I ordered. I can't wait till I get to go again and possibly try something from next seasons menu.

Went for valentines day, the ambiance is great for date nights. Subtle lighting and friendly staff. I highly recommend reserving a table because I heard the wait time was 2 hours for a guest that walked in (but it was v-day). We really enjoyed everything from appetizer to dessert. The food was light and didn't make me feel the need to rush to the bathroom or be rolled out. That being said, portion size was a little bit small for my liking. Although the feeling I mentioned above didn't happen, I could've had some more before getting there. That was the reason for the loss of a star. Otherwise I had a great time with the wife! Enjoy

I have gone to this restaurant several times and each time it does not fail to please. With the rotating seasonal menu, a nice wine list and finger-licking good desserts- you gotta try this place.

Ventured to Seasons 52 (last night), and it was definitely not as good as my first experience there... while the service was EXCELLENT, and our waiter could not have been better, the food was sub-par with some exceptions... for appetizers: the curry chicken soup, the portobello mushroom flat bread and the shrimp & lobster spring rolls were spectacular... but the (seafood) entrees were just so-so, slightly cold and fairly tasteless. We also ordered a raw tuna salad, and it was completely unseasoned / lacked any dressing or "pizazz"... definitely disappointing, given the prices on many of the entrees. Best bet is to stick to appetizers (for sharing)... Also, be sure to take a winter coat (if you eat indoors), as the subzero temperature inside the restaurant was so overwhelming, that we could not enjoy the overall meal experience. BTW - mini desserts are great too!

Nice dinning environment. Food came with big discs but in small portions. I ordered grilled jumbo shrimp penne pasta. Well seasoned but the pastas overcooked. In addition, ripe plum tomato flatbread was burned and tasted like expired chips... Overall, this dinner was a disappointment.

The first time I came here it was about a month ago and ordered from the Miami spice menu. It was fantastic. We sat at the bar and the waitress spaced our meals out perfectly and the food was great. We went back last night and it was the complete opposite! We waited forever for the flatbread, it was good. Then midway through the flatbreads our salads came out. They were a huge pile of spinach with some dressing thrown over them. Not the same as last time. No nuts, sweet dressing or cheese. Just some hunks of pears on the side. They Sucked. Then we had to wait a long time for our main course. When it was time for desert we were only allowed one of the parfaits as opposed to two of them that were offered the first time we came. So confusing and never an explanation. Overall I won't go back. Not consistent and the guys that work behind the bar have some attitude. Not friendly. Maybe Friday nights are bad.

I had the filet mignon and was not very impressed with the food. I took a group of clients here. While the service was decent, the food was not all that. I can usually tolerate a restaurant when the Food is delicious and the service is not so good, but not the other way around. I'm very picky with my food, and if it's not hot and tasty, I will not be coming back.

Let me tell you about Seasons. This place makes me really want to go back because the people who work there are truly great. I went there with my best friend for a graduation dinner on a week night and although it was dead we still had a great time. We were seated and there was a handwritten card from "Gary", the owner I presume, congratulating me. Our waiter was sooo funny, helpful and just really entertaining and honest. He definitely listened to us and recommended great dishes. The whole concept of Seasons 52 is that they change their menu every season in order to use the freshest ingredients, which I think is extremely cool. I got the Cedar Plank dish with the Salmon, and had one of the flat breads (can't quite remember which one) as an appetizer. The flat bread was deeeeliciouss and just tasted perfect. While waiting for out entree we got to meet Gary! Who was walking around lighting candles and greeting everyone, I thanked him for the card (even though I feel like he didn't personally write it) and he was just soo sweet. My entree was the grilled salmon with asparagus, potatoes and carrots with lemon juice on top. Honestly, although I think the food was good..I didn't think it was great because I felt it could of used more seasoning, oddly enough. For dessert, they had individual mini desserts that you can choose from (like P.F. Changs). We ordered one each but this waiter was sweet enough to give us an extra one :) These were delicious. Pros: great atmosphere, nice ambience, great & welcoming staff, great location (Miracle Mile), cool concept, delicious dessert, piano player Cons: paying for parking (always a con), food was good but not great (which it should be great if you're paying that much for your meal), expensivvvvveee (Just my raspberry lemonade was around $5) Honestly, I can't wait to go back to try out the new menu, hopefully the food will please me the 2nd time around.

its hit or miss in the dinning area. Bar area is nice. usually caters to an older business crowd. But, the cocktails are great, and the food is well portioned and delicious. Flat breads deserve 5 plus stars! and their cosmos are pretty high up there as well!

Even though this is a chain, they deliver consistently excellent, freshly prepared food. This one has the best set up of the chain I've seen so far. A great start to a date, a great lunch break from shopping, or just a great place to eat when you are too lazy to find that next awesome hole in the wall.

Disappointing. My man and I came here because of all the great reviews, had a 3-course meal and a few drinks for about $90 - not worth it whatsoever. Though, to be fair, our waitress was wonderful even though we came in half an hour before close and stayed until about half an hour after. Had goat cheese ravioli for an appetizer; it was okay. Nothing special. I ordered pork tenderloin with broccoli and polenta for my main course and I didn't enjoy it. Honestly, everything on my plate was rather bland and tasteless. The man friend had lamb with mashed potatoes and asparagus; he ordered it medium and it was BLOODY. Definitely rare. It wasn't very good either. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were okay. The mini-desserts were cute and a good portion size, and they were good, but again, nothing special. Two stars come from the lovely service and the nice decor and ambience. Would not come back.

I was very excited to hear that my best friends were taking me here to celebrate my birthday, as I had heard very good things about this restaurant. I was not disappointed. Their menu changes throughout the year, the larger part changes four times a year according to the season, then there is a smaller, special menu that changes weekly, hence the name. The food was fresh, delicious and presented beautifully. The portions are just the right size. The restaurant inside is very romantic and comfortable, although the music can sometimes be a little loud if you are near the bar.

My girlfriend and I ate here last night, it was our first time at a Seasons 52 restaurant. Our waiter Joel was very nice, he explained the menu and pointed out different appetizers and wine. The flatbread was good, the dinners were great, and the desserts were too! We sat in the long because they had a pianist who was also singing, he played everything from Sinatra and Michael Buble to Jason Mraz. It was a great experience, and I would recommend this restaurant!

This place was awful....sadly I went there to take my mother for her birthday. Unfortunately with the horrible service, the tasteless food and the empty restaurant I don't know anyone who would go back. DON'T GO!!! RUN!!! Our waiter was nowhere to be found. After several minutes another waitress knowing how long we had been there decided to help us. We ordered wine and cocktails. She had to prepare our drinks because the bartender was too busy talking to co-workers. The food was tasteless and over cooked. It was so bad the Second Manager took care of our bill. As trendy and loaded with restaurants as Coral Gables is this place will not be around for long...

We celebrated a birthday with our sons here - the food was terrific, generous portions of really healthy food. Great welcome at the front door. I put a note in the reservation that it was my son's birthday, and they greeted him at the door with a personally signed birthday card, and brought a dessert to the table for him. The wine flight was not only good, but a good value. We had never been here before, but have already told many others about it and will definitely return!

Alex L.
On a sunday morning, when the restaurant is anything but full, I found the service to be sub-par. I find this problem exists at most of the chain restaurants in Florida in that they really don't put out the effort they need to in order to be a great restaurant and just end up being mediocre. We ended up waiting forever for one of the waitresses to actually take the order from our table. One of our coffees came with lipstick from the previous person who had the cup. Food was slightly below average. The limited items on the menu due to their calorie limit on entrees was disappointing. Too many options to choose from in Coral Gables. Avoid this place if you have the option.

This was the perfect location for my medical school graduation lunch. Service was great, food was delicious and we loved our experience. I would definitely go back and have another meal. I also liked the fact that they had a vegan menu for my Aunt and they are über accommodating for those with dietary needs.

Just over rated, long wait, bad service, cold food, and over priced, I have to say, if you looking to spend an evening in a place packed with people, noisy, this is your place, if your looking to have the best dinning experience, with great food and service, this is the wrong place.

Ron and I had an excellent dinner here, visiting from Naples tonight. The food was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and at a perfect pace. The generously portioned cocktails were made quickly and correctly. The service was top notch. I would highly recommend our waiter Joel who was witty, knowledgable and engaging. Great service can make all the difference in the world for an evening and this place had it together tonight for sure! We will go to the one in Naples too now that we see what this place can do. I only hope it is as good as the Miracle Mile location.

went not too long ago and all I can say is fantastic. Superb service, excellent portions and quality, very warm staff. Because it was a special occasion they even threw in some bubbly and a photo to remember. I can't think of any other place in Miami that is like this. Truly unique. A+ Food was delicious and for the money it's ok. Not the cheapest of places, but the food was superb and service was great, so that's ok. Truly a good experience. Will go back. Hard Truth.

I had no clue all their dishes were under 472 calories and was starving when I got there; so as you can probably imagine my meal wasn't really hunger satisfying. The place does have a nice ambiance, the food is good but nothing to brag about and the service is pretty top notch. Great for a light bite, a nice glass of wine & catchy tunes by the piano man.

I came here for dinner and was met by two of the nicest hostesses in any restaurant I have been to. The hostess that sat us talked a little about their wonderful desserts in shot glasses and advised that we get some because they were delicious. It's a beautiful dimly lit restaurant with a piano player at the bar. I wish I would have asked if he took requests. I will have to ask next time. By the way, yelpers of the male sex, this is a great restaurant for a date. It's very intimate. Do it! Our waitress was very attentive and sweet and explained the menu to us and talked about how the menu constantly changed hence the name Seasons 52. 52 weeks in a year, different seasons, different menu...get it? Get it? Ok, good. My friend and I started with a bowl of mussels, which were absolutely delicious! For my main entree I ordered the trout and my friend ordered filet mignon. By the way, a lot of their food is organic and under 475 calories, according to our waitress. Yay! My meal came with roasted potatoes and grilled fresh vegetables. My mouth is salivating just thinking about how incredible that trout was. It fell apart in my mouth. I am telling you kids, it was cooked to perfection! I ate every single piece of food on my plate. Seriously, I need to go back. And soon. For dessert I opted for the fresh fruit in a shot glass. You can't go wrong with fresh fruit. There were so many yummy choices though - cookies and creme, carrot cake, key lime pie, etc. I am cooking for you Key Lime Pie!!! I love the vibe of this restaurant, I love the food in this restaurant, I love this restaurant!

Simply phenomenal. From the flatbread to the desert, everything was fantastic. I had a seasonal dish, mediterranean Tuna that was simply awesome. The wife had the filet, cooked beautifully. Soft like butter. As an apetizer we had the chilled lobster and shrimp spring rolls that were insane. Price wasn't bad either. Dinner with drinks ran just under $100. Not bad

It was a Friday night and since I stayed late at work to finish several projects, my stomach was already in a bad mood. Therefore, after I finished, I wanted a drink and a small appetizer. It was the beginning of the weekend and the beginning of July 4th week. I wanted to go to a place where I can eat, have fast service and get out in a flash because my drive to West Kendall is long. So I decided Seasons 52. Upon looking at the menu, I decided on the Chicken Garlic flatbread comprised with balsamic onions, roasted red peppers, mozzarella cheese. Complimenting the flat bread, i ordered a nice cool glass of Riesling wine. What a treat for me since I don't drink alcohol often anymore. in the beginning of my meal, I was undecided to have a mini indulgence dessert but then I told my waitress to bring over the mini indulgence tray. Upon explaining to me all the varieties, she indicated that her favorite was the Pecan Pie with Vanilla Mousse mini indulgence, which I what I chose. It was delicious. Matter of fact, everything was delicious and go out of the restaurant in a decent amount of time. Another great night at Seasons 52!!

I will be hosting a rehearsal dinner for my son and his wife-to-be at Seasons52.in April 2013. After talking to several other restaurant event planners, I was frustrated and irritated with their unwillingness to be helpful and the attitude the conveyed that I should be grateful they would allow me to spend a couple thousand dollars in their restaurants. Then I was referred to Seasons52! Denise Erwin was wonderful, informative, flexible, and best of all, she was just plain nice. Anything I needed she could accommodate in away that satisfied me but was still within reason for the restaurant. She made me feel that my guests needs and wants were of primary importance and she made planning the event fun. I was to the point where I was dreading this party, but with Denise's help, I feel Seasons52 will make the event a success. After the party, I will add more to this review to let you know how it went, but if you are thinking about hosting an event, I encourage you to call Seasons52 to take the hassle out of party planning.

We've been looking forward to eating here for the longest. It was worth the wait. There is a MUST for reservations on a Saturday evening, the place gets packed (envision a Cheesecake factory with people standing around with pagers). Once you're in, you're good. We started off with a glass of Jam Jar Shiraz. Not your typical Shiraz, this one is served chilled. Trust me, tastes great for what you're about to enjoy. Heard lots about the flatbreads, and yes - they are amazing. We had the steak and cremini mushroom. It's just enough for two. Even if you're not a fan of blue cheese, it is absolutely great. We then shared a bowl of their buffalo chili, that was an instant hit. I wasn't too crazy about the pieces of breads they put in the chili, but overall if i had to rate it I'd say a 8.5. My fiancee and I went straight after to the main courses, I had the rainbow trout and she had the scallops. Not that the scallops were bad, but they were too grilled. The trout was simply amazing. We skipped on dessert (too full) and asked for the bill. Love the fact every dish is under 475, I wish there were more restaurants like this with more conscious of heavy calorie intake. We'll definitely visit again.

Just what the Gables needed, I really like this place. It gives me the illusion that I am somewhere else out of town, not miami. Not only is the food excellent and organic, but there's live piano bar entertainment. They have a pitcher of organic oranges sitting in vodka ready for martinis. I asked the bartender, thinking it was flavored water. Cant wait to try a martini with that stuff. Their menu is seasonal, always changing. I tried their flatbread and salad for lunch. Very pleased. Need to come back for dinner. Looks like a prime hapy hour location with a great piano bar.

Went here for lunch today since it was open with the nasty weather outside. Love the area where the restaurant is located. Our waiter was a super nice guy and knew his menu very well. Started off with corn soup and it was pretty good. Very fresh. I got the Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno and it was good. Lots of different tastes in there. Only thing that I didn't like was the mashed potatoes that I got. They weren't very good at all. Wife got the salmon and she liked it. All the ingredients were very fresh. Prices were fair and the ambiance was very nice. They update their menu every season for what is in season so everything is fresh. All in all a solid place to eat.

This place delivers every time. I have been here a few times, not as much as I would like. I came for lunch to enjoy their wine tasting menu. Yes, wine tasting for lunch is awesome. Not having to go back to work, PRICELESS. So here is the deal, they let you try 3 different wines of your choosing, they'll give you a glass of the one you like most and it includes a flatbread of your choice...ALL FOR 15 BUCKS!!! Not bad, right!?!?. I added the clam and shrimp cioppino, since I ended up choosing a white wine, and my lunch was complete. Add the fact that my girlfriend did not work that day, so we got to share a week day lunch and my lunch was perfect. Oh, and if you are wondering about the quality of the food and service, all amazing.

I recently ventured to Seasons 52 as I was intrigued after many friends had recommended the restaurant. During Coral Gables restaurant week, I got to savor a variety of foods on a preset menu. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was extraordinary; my waiter was constantly checking on the table and gave great recommendations. The best recommendation was the mini deserts, mainly the Tres Leches. Every last bit was so delicious, I wanted another. I restrained myself; however, I left the restaurant content knowing that every item on the menu is under 495 calories! Definitely a place I have recommended to friends.

So I finally went to Seasons 52 a few weeks ago for dinner with my friend Barbie L. We got there around 6:30 p.m. and the place so busy the wait was about an hour and forty five minutes long. Because we really wanted to try the food but didn't want to wait until the next morning to eat, we opted for one of those tiny drink tables they have outside. I think they definitely need outdoor space heaters, at least during this time of year because although it isn't consistently cold during South Florida's "winter," we do have our share of chilly days. Aside from that, this place is pretty good. Our server, Heather, was very informative and an overall great waitress. The food is fairly inexpensive, especially for Coral Gables, and when you compare 52's prices to some of their obvious competitors (like Hillstone), it's a no-brainer. However, their drink prices are a bit inflated. It seemed to me like they're trying to make up for the cheap food by hiking up the prices of their booze. Fair enough, they're on Miracle Mile and I'm sure their rent is pretty high...but it's definitely something to keep in mind if you plan to throw back a few. To start, Barbie and I shared one of their flat bread specials which was a version of a gyro with lamb and some sort of yogurt sauce. It was pretty good! My only complaint is that it got cold ridiculously fast. Although maybe we should blame the lack of heaters for that... I then had the Maple Leaf Farms Duck Chop Salad, which was quite tasty. Barbie had the Housemade Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli which she said was also good. Sadly, we had no dessert. In sum, I'd say this place is pretty good. I'd go back again to try a few more of their dishes. But, if I'm planning on having more than one drink I might have to go elsewhere before or after. Lastly, watch out for the older papi-chulos hanging out at this place trolling for young women...they're relentless!

I'm definitely adding this restaurant to my list of Favorites. It is a beautiful restaurant with a romantic,casual and sophisticated atmosphere. It has a nice piano bar where you can drink, eat and enjoy the music,plus a main dinning room. You can also sit and eat outside. The service was excellent and the food was DELICIOUS!!! I enjoyed the Organic Baby Spinach Salad with the Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon and some wine, of course. I didn't have dessert, but they looked good. I really recommend this restaurant.

As a seasoned visitor, I was disappointed with my dinner. The lobster and shrimp spring rolls were great, wonderful pieces of lobster inside accompanied by a couple of savory dipping sauces. The BBQ chicken salad was a surprisingly good entree as the BBQ sauce was just enough to taste but not overwhelm. The steak, however, was ordered rare to medium-rare and arrived charred on the outside and medium on the inside. It was tough and tasted as though it had been sitting under warming lights for the better part of the evening instead of fresh off the grill.

Went for dinner with a childhood friend during Coral Gables Restaurant Week. The service was fabulous and so was the food. I had the tomato flatbread. Yummy !! I had the pork tenderloin for dinner. Perfection! Lastly, I had the mocha desert. Really Good. Our server was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Great Food! Great Service.

I really like this place. It is so nice inside, the decor is so elegant but not stuffy. They also have outside seating which is really nice on Miracle Mile. The food is awesome! Everything is healthy so you don't feel gross after eating it, even the desserts. Today was my 2nd time there and it was great. Service, food, speed, everything was on point. We had the shrimp and pineapple flatbread which was excellent, and i had the mussels which were really good. It came w/ garlic toast (only 2 pieces) which is perfect for portion control. Their desserts are amazing - another portion controlled item. I had the PB one today (again) b/c I am addicted to the stuff. It was yummy. I'll keep going back. I can't wait to try their spring menu which debut next week.

Health nut combined with trendy atmosphere. Translation: lot's of fresh "healthy" choices (under 475 cal) but prepared deliciously in a delightful ambiance. Menu changes according to seasons,and they have weekly specials, so every time you come back something new is on the menu. To start we had the Caramelized Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms (excellent), then we shared a Greek Salad (perfect). I chose the Wood-Roasted Pork Tenderloin and my wife took the Grilled Boneless Rainbow Trout as main entrees, both were tasty and cooked perfectly. Then we had two mini-deserts (only $2.50 each!), this rounded off our delightful dinning experience. Kudos to our server Sheena, great job, attentive and "simpatica". And don't forget to try the wines, we had an Italian Pinot Grigio and a South African Sauvignon Blanc, both matched our entrees magically. Being a demented foodie, I never though I would give 4 stars to a "healthy eatery" (praise to that type of place is usually reserved to the crowd who's skin is almost transparent, they read Karl Marx and believe Al Gore invented the internet). Cheers!

I went for Miami spice and I thought the food was just average. There was nothing special about it and the normal menu price is IMO, not worth the food. I did not leave thinking there was anything I would ever want to go back for. Between me and 2 others, we tried almost the entire Miami spice menu.

Been to all locations in south Florida and they're very consistent with their food and service. Food is always fresh, delicious flatbreads, the menu, besides a very nice variety, they change it often yet you can be assured the food is always good. Not sure many restaurants can pull off changing the menu often and still consistently delivery good food, but this restaurant does a great job at it. And the desserts? Well that's just like great icing in the cake. Enjoy! I always do.

Everything tastes so fresh! We got to the restaurant a little earlier than our reservation/rest of our party, so we sat at the bar for a drink - we decided on champagne (the Chartogne), which was lovely. When our party arrived, they glanced at the drink menu and started talking about their bordeaux selection...the bartender, Heather, who was...tending bar...overheard them and quickly offered a tasting of whichever ones they wanted to try out before we went to the table. Which was impressive! We settled up at the bar and headed to our table...which is where things were a little, less impressive. Our server, Danny, had us sitting there for a while, which I think is uncharacteristic for the place, since Patrick, the other bartender came over to apologize that our server hasn't been over to us yet, and asked if he could take our drink orders for him. Sure! We were on a double date, so to speak, so the other girlfriend and I ordered their organic strawberry basil martini before the dinner orders/during apps...HOLY DELICIOUS, btw. My boyfriend ordered a glass of the Cakebread '10 chardonnay, which is unusual for him, but he heard good things about it and gave it a try. (thumbs up, ps.) My friend's boyfriend ordered a glass of the Parenchere bordeaux - which we ordered a bottle of with dinner - great flavors! As an appetizer, we ordered the goat cheese and artichoke flat bread...it was more than enough for an appetizer - I don't have a huge appetite, so this was actually perfect for us all to share. The other couple had the seasonal special trout with tabouleh, and the sea scallops with pearl pasta, respectively. My boyfriend ordered the free-range veal porterhouse steak - which looked amazing - and I had the rainbow trout with seasonal veggies...SO good. I can vouch for the scallops also, as she let me try one, and they were prepared perfectly. Desserts - we caved and got those silly little mini indulgence things...we ordered the chocolate peanut butter, red velvet, strawberry shortcake, and key lime pie...and shared them, for the most part. My boyfriend and I also got their port wine to pair with the dessert - it wasn't the best port I've ever had, and I was kinda sad they only have ONE option, but it was still a good port. The aforementioned "less impressive" moments with the server, were due to his remarks...from "yeah we don't have that, where I used to work we did...but not this place" to "yeah, they could do better with that, but, what can ya do, ya know?" Kinda disheartening, and unprofessional, but we didn't let it ruin our meals! :D

It is great to have a good ambiance and excellent food option in Miami. The service also accordingly. The menu is incredible and with a unique variety. The season's menu is excellent, but the weekly ones are even better options. This months they even have a plus, the Miami Spice menu.

LOVE this restaurant! Was told there would be a wait, but they seated us right away when we told them it was my mom's birthday. Sangrias were great. We got caesar salad and rainbow trout which were delicious. Josh was a great waiter and very accommodating. Great ambiance, playing live piano music. Would definitely come back!!

Loved the ambiance and decor immediately, lots of fine wood, perfect lighting and spacious seating. Staff was refreshingly courteous and our server was always smiling and attentive. Shared three appetizers with my girlfriend: steak and mushroom flatbread (very good), tuna and avocado sushi roll (excellent), hummus with the most incredibly addictive long chips with sea salt. Had to eventually ask the server to take them away, because I was eating too much of them by the end of the meal, and I wanted to save space for dessert: they bring you a tray with a dozen small glasses filled with different desserts, very enticing and unique. I chose carrot cake, so moist and balanced I told my GF we needed to get that for our wedding. Her chosen dessert was very good but nothing like the carrot cake. Would be back tomorrow if I wasn't so much into not repeating places so fast.

Warm atmosphere with nicely furnished dining room and bar ruined by mediocre food in a chain owned by Red Lobster which shows in the same poor quality of ingredients as its' lower-end cousin, e.g. small shrimp, unimaginative appetizers, etc. Skip it and go to Houstons/Hillstone, Morton's, Ruths Chris or Sushi Samba down the block.

Came here with the ladies for coral gables restaurant week and it was delicious. Had the hawaiian martini which was exquisite. I started off with stuffed crab & shrimp mushrooms, really good, then had the mixed salad which had a flavorful dressing and finally for entree had the filet mignon with demi glaze with asparagus and carrots, it was tender and too die for. Finally i ended the night with the pecan pie shooter, omg cant wait to go back and have another one...Yummy!!!

Frequent eater here. Yes, it's a chain but it manages to refresh itself every time. Love that the choices are all in the "good" calorie option. And love, love, the little desserts.

I went with my boyfriend not too long ago since the place looks so nice in Miracle Mile. It has a big a beautiful bar. The restaurant itself is very pretty. The service is impeccable. The food is OK. I was expecting a little more taste to the food or maybe its just not my type of food. The menu is changed seasonly and has a variety of different foods. I ordered the burger they had and it was very small and not much taste to it. My boyfriend ordered a pasta which was mostly veggies. If you are a health nut and would like to go out to a nice restaurant and not feel bad about what you have eaten, then this is the place for you.

I've never been dissatisfied! The food is amazing and always fresh. You should definitely get an appetizer and some desert, because the entrees are of course limited in calories (great for watching your weight!). The service is great and very friendly.

Okay, so while Jaguar might be my favorite restaurant in the Grove.. Seasons 52 is by far my favorite in Coral Gables! Granted I've only been there once... but let me just start by saying how friendly and helpful the wait staff is. I told them about my shelfish allergy.. done. If it's your first time there they bring you little ceviche ish samplers of shrimp, but I got tuna! due to my allergy. Anyway, the waitress started by saying that everything on the menu is LESS THAN 475 CALORIES! I mean, WHAT? Really? Okay, you had me at less than 475 calories. Sold! Also the wine we had was delicious, some sort of pino grigio I wish I could remember. We ordered the tandoori chicken, about three came on a plate.. we ordered two servings for three people (oops!) do not do that, it's huge and really filling! We had some edamame, which was also pretty filling. For our mains we had an arugula salad (one of us hardy eats anything at all!) I had the salmon main salad (delicious!) The salmon was soo perfectly cooked and tasted great with the fruit and pumpkin seeds.. My friend had the cedar planked salmon. It was good and she enjoyed it, but I preferred my salmon to be honest. By the end of the meal I was so happy with everything, that I declared I could live here.. because really they have brunch, lunch and dinner.. I mean I want to try everything on the menu! By the way, I should mention that when we came in the music was way too loud and we mentioned this.. not actually directly to them, but they overheard us talking about it so they turned it down immediately. I mean how great is that?

Seasons 52 is definitely a different type of restaurant. It is one of my favorite restaurants on the Mile. Their menu changes according to what's in season and the best part.....everything on the menu is under 475 calories! Now if only I could stick to ordering only 1 item on the menu..... My favorite dish that I had tasted so far on the menu is the steak and cremini mushroom flatbread......it's amazing. I didn't think anything would top that until I tried a flatbread which was part of their weekly menu (they have a small weekly menu that changes every week). It was a mushroom, goat cheese with truffle oil flatbread and it was spectacular! I have also tried the cedar plank roasted salmon, I was not crazy about this dish. I don't think I like things cooked in cedar, did not like the wood taste. Anyhow, I have also had their goat cheese ravioli and it was very delicious. And of course their desserts are super yummy, I always want one of each!

This is such a great restaurant, who ever came up with this idea is a genius. You can sample different foods and pair them with different wines and get a little taste of the entire menu without feeling like you over indulged. The flat breads are healthy and amazing and the desserts are a little slice of heaven and by that I mean you get a little slice of dessert and don't feel bad about it! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were knowledgeable and made some great suggestions!

I went to Seasons 52 today, since it was one of the participating restaurants in Coral Gables Restaurant Week, and there were several thoughts floating around my head such as....."Loud ambience.... bland food.... outstanding service.... amazing desserts"! Oh my, this stream of consciousness overwhelms me. Nonetheless, my pros and cons were equal for this place, so I would like to give this place a solid 3.5 (okay, more like a 3 but only because I cannot give .5s). One of the hugest cons I have to say is that since the restaurant is very open. You can hear without failure what everyone at the surrounding tables is talking about. At my left, I had a 40 year old who was on his first date and was explaining the essentials of networking and how he had a subordinate who he was mentoring himself. The booth in front of me was a more eccentric group of three 50 year old somethings who were reminiscing about their previous trip to Greece. Hearing what everyone is saying around you can dampen any ambience. It seems that the majority of people who go here are those who go for networking. Not the ideal place if you would like to lounge around for lunch! I have mixed reviews about the food. For an appetizer, I had the vine ripe tomato flatbread. Perfect combination of salty and crunchy. Good with a side of olive oil. For my main entree, I had the blackened fish tacos. I have to admit that this was probably one of the worst things I had at the restaurant. "Worst" is such a strong word, so I'll refer to it as merely "could be better". I think it had mahi-mahi, but the fish was very bland. It definitely lacked flavor and could have used a little more lime. I also prefer crunchy tacos, so the soft taco shell was a let-down. The "saving" dish of the whole meal was their small indulgences. When they present you their desserts, they show you a bunch of shotglasses containing different sweet samples of goodness. I tried the pecan pie and red velvet, and it was divine! Perfect portion of ingredients. I would definitely come here again for the flatbreads and dessert; definitely not the fish tacos; although I feel that other items on the meny may taste better. As I conclude this review, I would like to say that the service here is absolutely outstanding! My waitress always made sure that I was taken care of. Thanks Ana F.! She gave me her card at the end of the meal. If I was judging on service alone, I would have given them a 5. But the loud ambience and fish tacos knocked them down a few points. I would definitely come here again. Great dessert, good flatbread, and amazing service! However, I think I might have to stay away from the fish tacos next time.

My wife and I have to Season 52 twice in the last several months. Season 52 is an all organic restaurant and all of the meals are under 475 calories. We had the Filet Mignon, scallops and a salad. The servers are always nice and professional and the prices are reasonable. The only complaint I have is every time we go to Season 52 they act as if we need a reservation. But the restaurant is never full, its a little annoying but we overlook it because of the food and service.

I took a group of friends to their pre-opening dinner service. Walking into the restaurant, the hostess greeted us with a smile and said "Mr. Chao, your table is ready..." Granted that out of our group, I am the one that is the only one that looks like a Mr. Chao, it was nevertheless very welcoming. This level of service flowed throughout the entire staff. The atmosphere was very lively and everybody had a great vibe. It seemed as if everybody enjoyed working there. The decor reminds of Houstons restaurant right down the street, which to say is not a bad thing. The large sliding doors open right up to Miracle Mile and to the bar. We were seated in a booth that was right next to the bar. Even though there were plenty of people, the noise was subdued, thanks to proper acoustic design. I can't stand restaurants where you have to shout to make conversation. Here's an interesting design element in the men's restroom: there are large rectangular metal grates that you stand over when you are at the urinal. Below the grate is a drain. Is this made just in case you miss? If you had too many drinks and didn't make it to the toilet? The menu is simple, yet complete. The four of us tried each tried something different. Appetizers included roasted poblano pepper, shrimp and crab stuff mushroom, chicker skewers, and mussels. The stuffed mushrooms was definitely the hit of the bunch. The mushrooms had an intense woody flavor. Entrees included, seared scallops, lake trout, lamb chops, and the filet mignon. The scallops were seared to absolute perfection. The lake trout filet was large and tasty. The lamb chops were just ok. It didn't have the intense gamey flavor of really good lamb. The filet was cooked to perfection. It was extremely tender and perfectly sized. All of the main entrees are under 475 calories. Very impressive. An assortment of desserts all came in individual shot glasses. I couldn't remember what they were except for the carrot cake. As a very courteous gesture, the manager came by offered our group an after-dinner glass of wine. The wine was an absolute surprise. It was a 2006 Royal Tokaji Red Label 5 Puttonyos. It tasted like smooth buttery honey and perfectly complemented the meal. Because of my pre-opening invite, dinner was comped. We only paid for our alcoholic beverages. I will definitely be back to have lunch and dinner here again and again.

I have been to two other Seasons 52 restaurants (in Boca and Orlando), and this one absolutely impressed me. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and welcoming. When my friend and I sat down, our waitress asked if we had ever visited before... and since my friend hadn't, the chef brought us out a complimentary shrimp tasting on porcelain spoons. It was a lovely touch, even though neither of us eat shellfish. We both shared the rosemary and parmesean crispbread, and each ordered the tandoori chicken skewers. She and I loved our meals - we were never rushed, and our food was prepared perfectly. The mixed greens salad that comes with the skewers is delicious - I really love that dressing. For dessert, I got the rocky road mini indulgence, while she chose the key lime pie (both were excellent). Our waitress was also prompt and courteous, so our water glasses were never empty. Before we left, the manager made sure we enjoyed everything, and my friend and I both agreed that everyone was just so nice. It was a very pleasant, relaxing lunch... so needless to say, I didn't want to go back to work! I can't afford to come here all the time, but I certainly will visit again.

I was the lucky duck that got an invite to Seasons 52's preview lunch thanks to AMEX Gold so I took my friend for a lunch break on a Tuesday. First of all the decor has a very Colorado outdoorsy feel with a modern touch. Rock walls, wood beams matched with classy furnishings. You feel at home but still out for a special meal. What most impressed me was the discovery that every single dish on the menu whether lunch or dinner is promised to be under 500 calories. So this is a great place to take someone who is watching their weight but doesn't want to loose out on flavor and variety. As part of the promotion to have us there we each had to pick an appetizer, entree and dessert. The menu is extensive, offering seafood, flat breads, sandwiches, soup and salad combos and it was hard to pick what we wanted. Another great aspect of the menu is it changes every three months to reflect what is best in local seasonal foods. Our dishes included crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms which were a great warm and slightly cheesy start to our meal. Chicken Tortilla soup was good if you enjoy it as a savory and hearty dish. The scallops were cooked to perfection, served with Israeli couscous and steamed asparagus. I chose the tropical salad with shrimp rolls, the salad was so bold with flavor citrus, pineapple, edemame came together in a delightful dish, unfortunately it was such a flavorful salad it outshined the shrimp rolls where were a bland partner to the salad, the quality of everything served was great. For dessert we got to choose from their sweet ending desserts served in a small cup - for me the Meyer's lemon pound cake parfait was heavenly, tart and sweet! My friend chose the key lime pie cup and she said it was really good and the perfect finish to our meal. Service was extremely attentive, Joel was knowledgeable on the menu and tried to anticipate our requests. I really look forward to taking my husband to try our the rainbow trout on the menu as that is not something you find on most menus. In the end I would say this is a great addition to the choices on Miracle Mile.

Impressive spot. Everything on the menu is under 475 calories. Which had me thinking that the portions were going to be absurdly small, leaving me wanting to eat six of them to compensate for their calorie saving size. 475 calories is usually my first mouthful. Not so. I was good & full after the tuna noodle bowl, a nice size portion of fresh tuna over top of bok choi and Japanese noodles with mushrooms and a delicate ginger-sesame sauce. The flatbreads make a nice appetizer but are probably too small for an entree. Even the deserts are plenty enough size for one and hold the same calorie count, but you'd never know it. It all has to do with the way it's cooked, surprisingly not that they skimp on size, variety, ingredients, or flavor. The piano bar is nice and it seems like a good place for an after work drink too. The ambience in the restaurant makes me think of Napa. If you haven't tried, it's worth it.

The place was very nice and service very good. Clean and nice atmosphere. I had various flat breads which were ok. It's so thin that it feels like your eating nothing. Also had the shrimp risotto. It was ok. A bit over cooked and very little risotto which tasted ok. It was to dry and clumpy. The dessert stand was awesome thought. That was the best part.

I have eaten at Seasons 52 many times and always thoroughly enjoyed it - the food has always been great as well as the service. THis past Saturday, my family held my Baby Shower in the private room and it was SUPERB. Everything from the service to the food was outstanding. From the moment I walked in the door, they greeted me with smiles and had a gift for me (a little Seasons 52 onesie), took a picture of me holding it up and then even developed the picture, of which they gave me a copy. They were so incredibly friendly, and not just to me - everyone that I have spoken to since that day has told me what a great job they did and just how nice the staff was. We stayed well beyond the time we should have but they were not rude or rushing to get us out - in fact, one of the servers helped us carry out all the gifts at the end of the event. The food was very good - everything was served family style - in particular, the char grilled salmon with salad was OUTSTANDING. I am not a huge salmon fan but it was so good that I had seconds. It was lightly charred and served with mixed greens, peppers, mangos and a vinaigrette. Plenty of food! Like I said, this was not my first experience at Seasons 52 but I was again reminded of the fantastic service and food that this restaurant has to offer and I would recommend it over and over, whether you're going just for dinner or looking for a venue for a private event.

Fantastic service, good food, and the portion sizes are perfect! I've been to a few different locations and the food and atmosphere are consistently very nice along with the outstanding service and attention to detail. Food is "healthy" so it may not suit everyone's taste, however it is among the best of the higher end "chains".

Four of us dined on a Saturday evening to celebrate an 85th birthday. The two flatbreads were delicious (shrimp, chicken). The salmon salad entree also got raves and i loved my trout with whole carrots and roasted potatoes. My partner did nt enjoy the pasta shrimp dish whcih didn't even look appetizing. Desserts as usual were yummy and the birthday boy's was on the house. DP

The interior is nice, very much a chain restaurant though. Service was pleasant and attentive but it was annoying when our server used the exact same spiel, jokes and all, WORD FOR WORD, with several nearby tables. It seemed forced and cheesy. Ordered the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli with vegetables, roasted garlic, and fresh basil in a light tomato sauce. It was light, healthy and the perfect lunch option. It was actually less ravioli and more like veggies with goat cheese, not that I'm complaining or anything - I ate every last bite.. Bf had the mussels; they were alright but nothing special and kind of lacking flavor. We also had a side of brussel sprouts which we could have made better at home. I prefer my brussel sprouts to be a bit more crunchy but these were kind of soft and mushy. Had an excellent glass of ZD Chardonnay as well, which I was very excited to see on their menu. Great place to come with your family or for a light meal before headed out. Prices are reasonable for Coral Gables/Miami.
Creative and unique menu concept, beautiful restaurant, exceptional service and extensive wine list. Portobello, four cheese and truffle flatbread was amazing. Melissa working on the patio provided some of the best service we've had in Miami which was refreshing. We can't wait to go back and to bring friends!

Can I give 6 stars??? Everything was excellent. Excellent food, excellent wine list, excellent service!!!!! We were four, we had the salmon, the chicken, the lamb, and the quail; we all were delighted with our plates. Desserts...to die for and I usually don't eat dessert. Very well priced, wine, two appetizers, four main courses, four desserts, and three espressos $198. Not bad at all!!!!

Very pleased with Seasons 52. Not only was the staff able to handle a large party of notoriously particular-yet-indecisive diners with ease and patience, the food was great too! We were greeted and seated in a wonderful circular booth once our entire party had arrived. The host and server were professional, expeditious, and helpful.Two members in our party are very hard of hearing. It was difficult to hear the server because of his extremely quick and soft speaking voice, but I was able to persist and order my meal. Others in our party had to ask for clarification or just let words pass them by. The atmosphere is wonderful in Seasons 52. It is dark and romantic, yet lively because it accommodates groups well. A musician began playing and singing in the adjacent lounge area shortly after we arrived, which made it even more difficult to hear. Miami isn't known for its quiet restaurants, so what can you do. I was a little worried upon hearing that the restaurant doesn't use butter and that their dishes are relatively low on calories. I feared that I was going to spend my evening enduring tough, flavorless meat and accompaniments, but I was totally wrong. I got the pork tenderloin. It was absolutely delicious. We were there for a birthday celebration, and they brought out the tree of mini desserts at the end. I took only one even though the server offered more. That was a mistake! I had the peanut butter - chocolate get-up, and it was mouthwatering. It had the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and bitter between the chocolate sauce, peanut butter, and cream (ice and whip, if I recall correctly). Overall, I was very pleased with Seasons 52. I look forward to going back.

A+ for Service as always! I've been visiting Seasons ever since the opening month. The service has always been consistent. Even when it's packed they are always friendly and it's always worth the wait. The last visit was such an occasion where we didn't want to wait and opted for the bar on a Sunday Evening. As soon as we were seated our bartender/waitress was very receptive and greeted us immediately. She went over the menu and made suggestions and offered additional nutritional information. There was a piano singer that night and she was great. The atmosphere was lively, yet not too loud or overbearing. The food was consistent with how I've always found it, with one exception, my Filet Mignon. I requested medium temperature but it was very charred on the outside, still medium but I didn't care for the crisp outside. Appetizer soup of the day was filling. My friend had the Swordfish special, and it was cooked to perfection. Always love eating here because I never feel guilty after. It's appetizing and filling without leaving you overstuffed. The desserts are also the perfect size.

I've eaten at the Boca Raton location of Seasons 52 many times, but happened upon this location on the occasion of my sister's birthday. She was visiting from Virginia and staying with our folks in Coral Gables, so on Saturday, May 12, 2012 we left the kids with the grandparents and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Seasons 52. We shared two appetizers and two salads; the server was happy to give us extra plates for this purpose, and it was fun trying different things. The produce and fish were fresh and delicious; I love the way that Seasons 52 gently dresses the salads--I want to taste the lettuces, not an overpowering dressing. Our server was clearly in training; our booth was near the kitchen and we heard him being educated a bit by someone in a chef's jacket, but he wasn't so new that he didn't yet have a business card! He handed me as I paid the check a Season's 52 business card that read: "Gilbert Gonzalez, Server" and was imprinted with the address and phone number of the Miracle Mile location. He was polite and even though he didn't seem to recognize the wines when we ordered them, he brought the correct bottles and poured without incident. This being my sister's first meal at a Season's 52, she especially enjoyed the mini indulgence desserts which Mr. Gonzalez described and served with aplomb. Delicious wine, (mostly!) healthy food, and excellent service--what more could anyone want? I dropped some cash on this meal but when my sister emailed me after she returned home to say that this meal had been the highlight of her Florida vacation, I considered it money well spent.

This is a place that I like to go eat on the Mile. The food is always good and I don't feel guilty for what I eat since it is healthy and under 500 calories. I tend to take clients here too since the ambience is more upscale, they have an extensive wine menu and their menu has a lot to offer. As such I've tried an array of things -- their flatbreads are always good, so are their apps the shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms and seared tuna, their bison burger for lunch and their filet for dinner or the chicken are good as well. Their seared tuna salad is also good as well. The mini desserts are similar to PF Chang's if you have ever had those and quite tasty. I like that their menu is always rotating so their is always something new and different to try. I'm a fan --healthy, tasty and not too terribly expensive for the Gables.

I really liked the atmosphere of the bar. It is very large with first come first serve seating. The guy playing the piano is really good and they have the volume just right. The service was great and our food came fast. Both my bf and I are very health conscious so we appreciate the thought behind this restaurant. We started with the flat bread which was tasty but could have been a bit more crisp. Then we had the stuffed mushrooms with shrimp and crab. The dish wasn't what I expected it was going to be (was thinking big mushrooms on a plate that would be stuffed) but it was still good. I think I would skip this the next time, though, and try something different. I had the scallops for dinner and my bf had the fish over rice. I would love to have the sauce for the fish with the scallops! Portions are what a portion should be, not what most people expect from a restaurant. Overall, both our meals were a bit above average, but when trying to stay under a certain number of calories, there is not too much that can be done! We each got one of the desserts and felt that the shot glass size was really filling. Overall, I thought this was a good place to go. I really appreciate the concept and I think you have to be aware of it before going, otherwise, you may feel disappointed. Seems like a great place to grab a drink!!! We will definitely go back :)

I've been to this place a number of times and the more I go, the less I enjoy it. Last night beat the cake. While we were finishing our meal at a booth in the bar area, I "felt" someone, it was a man and a women, standing right over my left shoulder. He said "I don't mean to be rude, but we are waiting for your table". When my daughter and I came in we went to the hostess and told her a table for two and she had someone escort us over to our table. I don't know how this couple managed to just walk thru. Maybe they thought it was a sports bar! The food was just okay. I think the best "season" is the fall menu. Considering there are more places in the Gables that serve really good food, Seasons 52 needs to step up their game.

Well - it happened again: another email follow up promising a live "fixer" of my experience... and nothing again! Ladies and gentlemen, Season 52 has a "robot-review-answerer". Pretty much in the vein of how their food is prepared :) Skip it!

GREAT restaurant. Fresh ingredients, ever-changing menu with the season and what's naturally abundant at the time. Great calorie distribution, if you like that kinda thing. Portions are appropriate, including desert, which is under 200 cal. All such tasty food, well prepared, and moderately priced. Nice wine selection. Good music and atmosphere. Nice wait staff. A+ I always go here when in Miami, pretty much every month.

Went on Saturday 8/23/14 and tried their Miami Spice Menu, we got there right at 7pm and tehre was no waiting, we were seated immediately which was great on a Saturday night. First time visiting and will not be the last. The Spice menu is $39 per person for a 4 Course meal. We ordered both Flat Breads on the menu, include a Spinach and Raspberry Salad which was good if you like spinach, for entree tehy have 3 or 4 choices, we both ordered the 6oz Fliet and it was soooo good, melt in your mouth tender. Cooked to prefection. I ordered medium well as I do not like to see blood in my meat and it was tender all the way to the end. Comes with Veggies and Mashed Potatoes. For dessert they bring an assortment of shooters for you to choose one and after that big meal a small treat is just what you need. We ordered a bottle of wine and with taxes it was under $120 for 2 adutls and one child which is pretty reasonable for the Gables. Loved the live pianist and the service was awsome. Great place for meetingf or cocktals or dine in. Will be back for sure!

I can't fathom how people like this crappy flavorless food... I tried the one up in Tampa and it sucked. I gave this one a chance due to it's great reviews, and again, bland crappy food... Great service good atmosphere, but I came to eat and enjoy some food... I don't understand how it is so many people have such bad taste, it must be the location and all the cheesy wannabe foodies that exist in that area.. So many better options in the Gables than to be spending a dime on this chain.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Meet Camille; Server Extraordinaire! This visit has to be one of the best encounters with service I have seen. Seasons 52, an otherwise 4 star restaurant, gets five stars from me this trip because of the excellent service. Camille was polite, efficient, attentive, timely and clearly understood our requests. I can't say enough about how perfect the service was, so if you go, ask for her and you'll be pleased I'm sure. Salmon and pork tenderloin is pretty good. The deserts are a modest size, but super!

Background music was great. Fair amount of options without making it overwhelming. They were very accommodating of our 2 year old and even had food options not on the menu for her. Nice wine selection and a good price range. Food was good for how healthy everything is. Save room for dessert!

Great place. Nice atmosphere and excellent service. The Branzino and the Cedar Plank Salmon were outstanding. They also had an excellent choice of mini desserts, which were the perfect size to avoid over indulgence.

Amazing!!!! All around cant believe the food was so good and good for me. Not a heavy meal. Filet mignot was really really good and the pecan dessert to die for. Still can't believe it was under 475 calories
LOCATION: My Hunny and I were in the mood to try something new and after reading a few reviews we decided to give Seasons 52 a try. When we arrived we were surprised of the location - right on Miracle Mile. The place was packed and everyone had a buzzer in hand. Boy, this place is going to give Houstons.. Hilstons (whatever) a run for their money! Nevermind the fact that we arrived 30 minutes early - something that we were proud of and almost never happens. Anyway we were HUNGRY! We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation time. DECOR: Cabin chic. EXPERIENCE: The waitress took her time telling us about the menu and how they have a new menu each week of the year- hence the 52 in the name. We were happy to hear that the meals are low calorie (475 to be exact) since we "try" to watch our weight. Finally a restaurant you can go to that doesn't add a pound of butter to every recipe - Sorry Paula Deen! The Manager was kind enough to come by towards the end of our meal. RECOMMENDATION: We had the Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread that everyone is raving about. My hunny loved it! I thought it was alright, no big deal. Kind of like a thin crust pizza. Entrees were good, not great. The small dessert cups are actually really good. I usually skip these kinds of desserts at other places like PF Changs - definitely try the Pecan Pie cup! Yummy! Overall I'd recommend the restaurant because you can go there, have a nice dinner without breaking the bank or the scale when you get home.

My girlfriend and I went here for a celebratory drink and I was impressed right away. We went on a Monday night when it was a bit slow but the "piano man" played on. I'm a musician so I always appreciate good live music, which this definitely was in it's own semi-cheesy but totally perfect way. My understanding is there are five different guys who come in and play, but the guy we saw was sensational and genuinely appreciative of our applause. He broke out a jazz cover of Enrique Iglesias's "Tonight I'm *ahem* Loving You" which really tickled us and a beautiful rendition of Christopher Cross's "Sailing." The drinks were very good and reasonably priced for the area. The dessert martinis were especially good. Which brings me to the desserts...I was a big fan of the mango cheesecake! I look forward to going back for dinner one of these nights, which also looked very good.

Went to Season's 52 yesterday afternoon for a lunch with my husband, hoping to begin the new year's weight loss resolutions correctly. Everything on the menu is 475 calories or less (including the sides that come with the plate). This is very good for the health conscious! I imagined that the food would come out miniscule for this amount of calories, but the plates were normal sized and the food was absolutely delicious. I could not believe the amount of flavors infused in a dish of so little calories. I would most definitely return.

Every girl has had a "I am on a diet" moment in her life. The worst that can happen when you are on a diet is to be invited out for a business lunch. However, Seasons 52 solves this for you. Every plate is guranteed to be under 475. The steak flat bread and the fish tacos were delish. I also tried the cookies and cream dessert which left me wanting more. To top it off, they now have a skinny martini. So on during that diet period (or not), head out to Seasons 52. You will not regret it.

Wow, is all I can say. Heard a lot about this place but was reluctant to try their healthy cuisine. The food was amazing, went for dinner and ordered off the Miami spice and everything was delicious and the portions were huge. Can't wait to go back !!

Been here numerous times! They offer a seasonal menu which is nice. The Fruit Martini is Amazing! The Flatbreads are Yummy. My favorite is the Garlic Chicken. The Ceviche is good but a little on the Spicy side! And they offer a variety of mini Desserts which gives you the option of eating more than one! They are delicious! All of them. The nicest thing about this restaurant is the Piano Player in the Bar area. He plays a variety of genres and even takes requests Lol!

I came her for dinner but would only recommend it for lunch and drinks (AND DESSERT!!!). I got scallops. I must not have paid attention to the (small) menu. I assumed the scallops would be pan seared with an amazing crust on them but when I got them they were grilled. They were cooked well, I was just disappointed that they were not what I was expecting. That however is not the fault of the restaurant. Our server was great. They have a good wine selection, but the best part of the meal was the flat breads and dessert! O-M-G, they came out with the tray of desserts and you can just point to what you want and get it right then and there (great marketing). I ended up getting the pecan pie and the berry cannoli. I also got to try everyone else's choices. Our table ended up telling the server to leave all the desserts there. The cannoli cup was BY FAR THE BEST CHOICE!!! I would go back just for the flat bread, cannoli and wine. Just reviewing it is making me hungry for more!

I've been here many times for lunch and have never reviewed it. They have a lot going for them, in my book. They are consistent. It's nice to go there and always get impeccable service and delicious food (healthy, too!!) I've had their buffalo burger, fish tacos, flat breads, cedar-plank salmon, and I've yet to be disappointed. Their individual-sized desserts are really great for when you're in the mood for a scaled-down indulgence.

Delicious meals that aren't too heavy, and perfectly-sized desserts! Plus, the pianist is amazing. I love that they change their menu with the seasons, too.

Came with a party of 14 people and the food and service exceeded my expectations. Often with large parties it can be a little chaotic and courses can get delayed but that didn't happen. Food and service were excellent. Love that when u order wine by the glass they allow u to taste it and the bartender made suggestions. The servers were super friendly and patient with us. It was a really great choice for a large birthday dinner.

This is among my favorite restaurants in coral gables. The food is consistently delicious and the healthy, fresh options are amazing. Prices are a little bit high but you won't find anything comparable nearby.

From an open and friendly kitchen visible to all visitors to a tasty menu that only boasts items 475 calories or less, Seasons is putting its mantra where our mouths are and not our pounds. I would have to say that the only problem is during dessert. The 'mini indulgences', which are 3 oz. shot glasses that range from fruity favorites such as key lime pie to chocolaty rocky road, make me look like the Cookie Monster gone wild. So maybe I can't have just, one, two, three, four...STOP JUDGING ME. Anyways, to me, this place never disappoints.

Went there with another couple on a Saturday night. We had 7:45 reservations and decided to get there early (7:30) and have a few drinks at the bar. Walked right up to the bar, sat down and enjoyed great bar service. At 8:30, we were still waiting for a table. we decided, since there was open seating around the bar, that we would just sit there and order. We dined for over an hour and a half and it was fantastic. From the flatbreads appetizers to the Scallops, the Veal, the Shrimp. All so very delicous. The the little desert shots! Amazing! Now, my two little nit-picks. First, we waited over 45 minutes past our reservation time before we took it upon ourseves to just sit in the bar. It really didn't seem that busy. Second, it was a very humid night and since we were sitting in the bar it was very hot. We asked the server if there was anything she could do and she stated that she would close one of the glass door that are in front. However, they have theses little bar tables out there and all of them had patrons so the couldn't close the doors. That aside, I would definitely return. The food was so good and everyone was so friendly that I can easily overlook two minor issues.

WOW! what great food, from their selection of low calorie flat breads to their large selection of entrees under 450 calories. Not to mention their deserts that are perfectly portioned and brought to you ready to eat. Their service is also impeccable! I ordered the Fillet Mignon and unfortunately the kitchen messed up on the order twice. The manager comped my meal and the bottle of wine. He also made it a point to excuse the mistake a number of times. I was very impressed by the his professionalism and service recovery standards that he exemplified. I will definitely be coming back for another meal!!!!! yum yum yum!

Went for my birthday, they had a birthday card on the table for me. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered flatbread, the goat cheese ravioli, steak, wine . . . it was all perfect. Our waitress was a sweetheart gave us excellent service. Loved the piano at the bar & the decor was lovely. Can't wait to return.

Food here was great. I ordered a Sangria, then finished, then ordered another one. First one had strawberries all the way to the top, perfect mixture of all the ingredients. The second one tasted like they were trying to pull a fast one on me. Filled with grenadine and club soda with no fruit. Yuck, sent it back. The flat bread appetizers were good. Although I wouldn't say "to die for" and my pasta meal with shrimp was decent. I'd like to try other items.

Dianna R.
The best thing about Seasons 52 is the fresh menu! Vegetables are seasonal and fresh. And there are many organic, cage free options for various menu items. This is rare in a moderately priced restaurant. The service was ok - I think the servers are still new and learning. The live piano and singer in the bar area was great!! Can't beat a live piano!

Isabelle D.
The actually entree I had was not good at all. The only reason why I am giving them any stars at all is for their desserts. They are amazing. I will come again just for them. Probably drink at the bar and eat desserts, which is perfectly fine with me.

Is this my favorite place? No, but I will come here because it's healthy and it's in a good location for me. It's nice to know that everything is under 500 calories and you can taste it. I've been here for lunch and dinner and I cannot say that I've been "wow'ed" any of those times. I will say that they have the best edamame I've had because they actually give you a bowl of salt to dunk it in as opposed to coming pre-salted like everywhere else. I have had the stuffed shrimp with artichoke, which was decent. I also have tried the trout and the scallops. The scallops had a sweet flavor to it because of the sauce they used, it comes with asparagus and a pearl pasta which was also rather sweet. The trout is probably the better tasting dish I've had here, but it's generally not my seafood preference. I have yet to sit in the main dining room, because it's always full. Service could be better. In fact, they forgot to put in the order, so the manager took care of our desserts, coffee, and drinks. Please try the red velvet mini-dessert. You will not be disappointed. Interestingly, over the weekend, they had some live entertainment which was a guy playing a piano inside the bar. He kept stroking classic dinner hits, but it wasn't until he did a "I'm a Genie in a Bottle/ Ganster's Paradise" mash-up that he got any applause. Seasons 52 doesn't get a standing O from me, but more like a slow clap.

It all started looking through Yelp for a great place to eat.. Surely I found Seasons 52 and looked through some great reviews and off I was to try it out for myself! The location is great if you just want to walk around and enjoy the day, and once you get there, you are greeted by the nicest staff in Miami. The menu is full of food that is great ( and it changes through out the year, ask the waitress to give you the background), and also great for you. Everything is low calorie BUT do not get confused... it is awesome. They have a great list of Wines if your into that (we weren't but the waitress insisted that we did), and if your not I still recommend trying at least one, these guys know their stuff about it. The desserts... WOW. Run out there as soon as you can, its really worth it btw, ask for Heather... she will take care of all your questions and is a great waitress.

I ordered the lamb mini t-bone. The lamb was decent but was very difficult to eat with a fork and knife because of the bone. The asparagus was very crunchy and lacked taste for me. The mashed potatoes were EXTREMELY garlicky. Overall, I would recommend this dish.

Jennifer D.
This restaurant is extraordinary! The name says it all! The food changes by every season of the year to give you a fresh meal at every visit. Their are certain items that change every week, giving you the 52 weeks a year. On top of that everything is under 475 calories but that doesn't mean the food is tasteless, it's full of flavor, its just more like the "right portion" one should eat. My boyfriend and I had one of their marvelous flatbreads, mushroom and shrimp goat cheese appetizer, and the pork tenderloin, don't get scared! That goat cheese tastes amazing and the flatbreads are to die for. When you go ask for Heather she is VERY sweet and explains everything! Don't leave without a dessert! These little delicacies will leave you dying for more, but don't forget these are the right portion at a great price. :) enjoy!

Katherine M.
I love the food and wine here. The concept is fab - every item on the menu is under 450 calories and they offer fresh, in-season vegetables, hence the name refers to 52 weeks of the year. Even the desserts are under 450 calories, and of course they are TINY. I always order a fish entree with vegetables. The flat breads are good too. The decor reminds me of an upscale ski lodge: dark woods, fireplace, dark leather chairs. Come for a nice happy hour near the bar (although they don't have any happy hour prices) or a romantic, candlelit dinner in the main dining area.

This place was a great find. My wife and I had passed by a few times but never had the chance to go. After reading some reviews, we decided to try it and were not let down. The food was amazing. We started with the lobster bisque from the specials menu. It's not a set item but if they have it I strongly recommend it. My wife had a tuna salad which was great and my son had grilled chicken from the kids menu (also very tasty). I had the Grouper Mayan (also from the specials menu) and it was excellent! I never knew 475 calories could taste so good. We finished the night with two deserts (each was served in what looked like big shot glasses). They bring a tray of 6 or 7 of them for you to choose from. The presentation of the food was perfect and the service was too. The entertainment was impressive as well. There was a woman playing the piano and singing popular songs which added to the whole experience. The piano is actually behind the bar. Great place. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

I could come here and stuff my face with flatbreads and leave 100% satisfied. Those things were amazing. The decor, the atmosphere,the service, the food: everything is great. The restaurant is huge! They have private dining rooms for parties, the main dining room with a view to the kitchen (in a somewhat cool way), and then the side bar with several booths and even a piano player playing different tunes. A nice place to dine, best for a special occasion.

Mediocre at best. Gets 2 stars bc of the location and the decor - it is very pretty inside. Went there with my bf and his fam. we all ordered diff things and tried a variety of the winter menu items - flatbreads, Mac n cheese, and goat cheese ravioli for appetizer and filet, beef tenderloins, lamb, and scallops for dinner. Eh - nothing really wowed us. Also, the waitress poured red wine all over my bf's dad. At least they offered to dry-clean his jacket...

I went here for my 30th Birthday and LOVED it! The food is great, the decor is lovely, and the service is top notch! I really have nothing negative to say about this place. They even gave me a souvenir photo of my party. Great way to remember my 30th. Thank you!!

I had a really great dining experience at Seasons 52. The service was excellent, as well as all of the menu items we ordered- they even brought us samples of the soups (which were amazing I must add) We sat outside, since we had a dog with us, and they even brought bread for the puppy. I thought that was super friendly. Kudos :) If you are having trouble picking what to eat, start off with one of the flatbreads. They are super light and full of flavor- We tried the Plum Tomato with basil...thin, crispy, a perfect starter! Everything looked super tasty on the menu, but here's my recommendation: go for the specials. I ordered a curry shrimp roll with avocado accompanied with a fresh mango and jicama salad with wild greens and a tangy tropical dressing- it was divine. It was perfect for a well balanced lunch. Super friendly service, pet friendly and delicious- I'll be back!

The interior of this new restaurant sports an Arts and Crafts design via Greene and Greene. It is nice and warm and cozy thanks to lots of wood and stone and carpet. There are two nice large window walls that open completely to the sidewalk, one on the dining side and one on the bar side. It is a nice touch, especially this time of year when they can open the room to the street activity. The restaurants claim to fame is healthy eating and freshness, hence the name Seasons. They supposedly change the menu four times a year featuring seasonally appropriate fare and all of the menu items are under 475 calories. I was able to take advantage of the complementary dining offer twice for lunch. The first time I had the "Greek" Salad and the Grilled Swordfish Special. The salad was pretty good with large chunks of cucumber and feta and lots of kalamata olives but the transparent slices of tomato was pretty sad. The swordfish was cooked a bit more than I like it but it was not over done. It was served on a bed of bok choy, mushrooms and rice, both the fish and the vegetables were excellent. I had the shot of lemon pound cake for dessert. The desserts are minuscule in order to keep them under 475 calories. For my second lunch, I had the chili and the fish tacos. The large pieces of meat in the chili were a bit tough otherwise it was good but not Houston's good. The fish tacos suffered from being too healthy. The taco looked like it was whole wheat, but I am not positive, and the fish was grilled and not fried. It was no Baja Fish Taco but it could probably be saved by just changing the taco shell. The wine list is extensive with about 60 wines by the glass. Since they don't have a cruvinet I would hope that they have a lot of turnover on the wine otherwise there is a possibility that you may be ordering an old wine. Luckily, the wines that I had were very good if a bit overpriced based on the stingy pours. I had the Catena Malbeck, the Schug Pinot and the TENZ and Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blancs. The only disappointment was the TENZ, the Schug was excellent if really expensive. I must return and try some additional items, the seared scallops that the person sitting next to me ordered looked delicious.

The decor and ambience of the restaurant is so nice. It reminds me of a ski lodge! It's not loud inside, and the staff are so friendly the moment you walk in through the door, calling you by your name. The food is good. We had the artichoke stuffed shrimp and grilled swordfish and they were delicious. There is an excellent wine selection, and if you're afraid of buying a glass of wine that has the potential of gone bad, don't be. My table had three different wines and none of them had oxidized. Best part of the food: it's good for your calorie counting. Including the desserts. Which were excellent. I have a huge sweet tooth so I was skeptical about the size of the dessert being satisfying, but it truly was. I had the rocky road, and you think that little cup is only four bites but I managed to take at least 10. As far as price wise, it's not too bad. A glass of wine averaged around $11, the entree dishes were around $20, and I believe the desserts were around $8. I'll be back.

Yay, a Seasons 52 in the Gables! I have been a couple times to the location in Fort Lauderdale and I am a big fan. Last week I tried out the new spot with fellow yelper Janelle and my best friend. We went for lunch and there was no wait, but talk is get ready to wait if you come for dinner. Spicy -- Buffalo Chili -- perfect amount... and it had a little kick to it as well. Big chunks of meat in it, black beans, DELICIOUS BBQ Chicken Salad -- Yummy. I have had this before and again it was great. Greens, spinach, corn, bbq chicken, roasted red peppers, pumpkin seeds and blue cheese -- can it get any better? Desserts -- I love their selection plus the shot glasses are perfect when you just want something sweet after dinner but dont want an entire dessert. I had the key lime pie and I wanted more :) Medium -- Steak and mushroom flatbread -- it was pretty good considering i don't like mushrooms too much. Their flatbreads are a must get... love. Mild -- nothing really. My friends enjoyed their meals and their cocktails also :) If you are in the Gables this is a definite spot to check out!

They are officially opening on the 15th of November, but for now, they are offering the opportunity to sample their menu and their service for the next few days. Very nice place, it will no doubt be a hit in Miracle Mile, the decor is unique and modern and obviously, thus far, the service has been flawless as they are in training and there is a visible presence at all times. Something tells me that this level of quality and service will remain and it will be a breath of fresh air in Miami, I will no doubt return and update this review as I become more acquainted with the place and they roll out in full force. Something that is uniquely cool is how they rotate their menu to match the season - As of right now, I have tried their scallops for appetizer and the Fillet Mignon and I can say that both dishes were absolutely fantastic. I work literally across the street from this place, so I am looking forward to being a regular here. Stay tuned - updates to come, but in the meantime definitely see for yourself...go to Seasons 52 and give it a try -

Been meaning to write a review for this place, and have yet to go back But Yay! I'm a fan! Its a tasty spot for the health conscious and taste conscious. I had the goat cheese raviolis, which were light, fluffy and goat-cheesy. How on earth could it e less than 450 calories??? Who knows, don't ask - don't tell - just eat it! I also tried a few of the flatbreads which are also low calorie and yummmmsville. The Cuban one was really tasty and another one with mushrooms was quite light and flavorful. Short review because it's been so long since I've been there, but I know I have to make my way back soon!

this place is the definition of a well-run restaurant. the food is healthy, fresh, and they never get my order wrong!!! the wait can sometimes be long for a table, but they generally honor reservations very well. one time when we waited for awhile, the manager gave us gift cards and apologized profusely. THAT is how you get repeat customers. i get here whenever i have a chance! the dessert shots are so perfectly portioned so you don't overdo it... and the drinks are delicious as well.

Food under 475 calories? Good food under 475 calories? Great food under 475 calories? Plus nice wine selection! My dinner at Seasons 52 was all three of those. Certainly, it was food. Clearly, it was good, but only some of it was great. The Crab/Shrimp Mushrooms were delicious, maybe not as delicious as the cheese on the serving pan that I saw every table picking at when the mushrooms were all gone...deelish! The pork chops I got were pretty standard, not overly tasty but certainly good. The polenta that paired with it was actually really tasty, a good sub for a mashed potato puree. The rest of the table loved their meals and the ambiance, presentation of food and SERVICE does speak gourmet. My wife thought the Tuna Salad she got was more than fair in portion size and very tasty and a friend had a delicious looking filet mignon. We will be back and when I try something different, I hope to see another star, it's what I expect of the place.

I can't think of a better place to spend New Year's Eve!! This is our second year celebrating the big night out at Seasons 52, and thus far, it's been nothing but excellence! The seared ahi tuna (appetizer) was better than I expected... I followed that up with a caesar salad, which was just as good as I thought it would be. Our waiter recommended a nice Pinot Noir, which although on the rather pricey side was some of the best wine I've ever had! My boyfriend had the rainbow trout, and I opted for the pork medallions; both were spot on and very flavorful! To finish off the what seemed like a hundred course meal we each had a little dessert cup (epically priced at just $2.50 for flavor!)... The peanut butter cup had my mouth doing backflips! And with a constantly changing menu, you can NOT go wrong at Seasons 52!!
The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because the flatbread, wine, and dessert were phenomenal! Other than that, the food was bland. I ordered the spicy tandoori chicken skewers, and there was nothing spicy about them. My mom ordered the pork tenderloin, and it was cooked well but tasteless! I probably won't be going back again, unless it's for a flatbread!

I cannot believe they put a Seasons 52 in Miami! I love this place. The menu never gets old because it changes with the season and everything on the menu is under 475 calories. But you wouldn't believe it. All entrees are perfectly portioned and extremely delicious. You won't come across anything bland, tasteless, or over seasoned. The service is also amazing. If you are in the Coral Gables/Miracle Mile area make sure you stop here for lunch or dinner and prepare for a delicious meal.

Ate here last night for the first time and had a very enjoyable evening. The space is quite nice, with a beautiful main dining room and some private rooms off to the side. Bar area is great with lots of cozy booths and a piano player. Food and service were top notch. When you order wine by the glass, they bring the bottle to the table and offer you a sip first to make sure you like it, which is a very nice touch. All the dishes are low calorie and the prices are fair. They were packed on a Wednesday night so it seems the concept is a hit. Loved the mini desserts..only $2.50.

Not much to say here, it's ok. Food was ok, ate the scallops. Was suppose to come with pasta, but didn't. Came with couscous instead. Really boring plate, but tasty. Started with the flat bread and it was as if it was from California Pizza. Didn't stand out one bit. Really wasn't impressed with the food. Was hoping for a Flemings sort of vibem, but was about a few steps below that.

Its been quite some time since I found a place where the servers are all super friendly and so attentive. Drew, our server last night, is hands down the sweetest ever! Our dinner consisted of the seared tuna salad as the appetizer, which was excellent, and the lamb chops with mashed potatoes, which was also very good. Everything on the menu is supposed to be low calorie, but nothing tasted as if it was. For dessert I had the Oreo shot, which was delicious and just the right size!

The place is cozy and looks ill placed in Miami where most places are sleek and modern. The decor is a welcomed change to the usual except for the fabric on the chairs and booths which screams out 90s. I'm sure the restaurant will do well on mircale mile but for me I doubt I will go back often. It's great to have a healthy food option here but I left hungry and was not satisfied. The buffalo chili was delicious and a good portion but the flatbreads were almost nonexistent. I don't think it is humanely possible to roll out that dough anymore than they do. The crab stuffed mushroom were great and hard to believe not too caloric. I'm not a fan of the mini desserts however. I think if I am in the mood for a light lunch or a glass of wine and an appetizer I would head to Seasons 52 but if I am hungry and looking for a dinner spot I would never think to come here.

NEW FAV place on the mile! LOVE the piano player @ the bar! We have been several times now and the most memorable server so far has been Daniella, she rocked! Great service and this is my BIGGEST pet peeve! Since i am a snobby eater! I like what i like the way i like it, you know! Wine is always a great choice! I rather the bar "informal" side with outside sitting area than the "formal" dinner area.... THE FISH TACOS during lunch are fantastico! and the plum ripe tomato flat bread...DROOL! and top all the above goodness with (2 if you feel a sweet / sour tooth) Meyer Lemon dessert...ahhhh...LOVE in your mouth! nuff said!

Honestly, my wife wanted to try something new, which is a nice tradition we've started as of late. She had heard about this place from some family, and boy were they right about it. Fantastic food, REASONABLY priced (unlike most good food in Miracle Mile), and an atmosphere that will rival any of the Mile restaurants. Give this place enough time and it's bound to become a tourist must have, if you ask me. Since their menu varies seasonally, hard to tell if my recommendation will still be there when you go, but here goes. I had the Rainbow Trout, which I figured would be less tasty since it's not a native fish, but also was cheaper than some of the other seafood ($16). Honestly, I was REALLy surprised by how juicy and flavorful it was! Again, for a reasonable price!!

This place is great!! Everything is under 475 calories and majority of the dishes are organic. If you don't care about any of that - the food is extremely yummy. Their menu changes with the seasons and I think that's what keeps me coming back! Not only does their main course menu change but their drinks and dessert change as well. The flatbreads are a must. I've tried several things on the menu and everything is extremely tasteful. Don't forget to eat dessert! Great portion and great price. What I love about this place is that I don't leave feeling gross like I completely pigged out. The food is light, but filling at the same time. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to the next season. :)

i was a impressed with the decor and feel of the restaurant. dim lighting, cozy and tables far enough apart that it caters to some privacy. however as kelly o mentioned the fabric used to upholster the seats is outdated. i was a little underwhelmed with the food, but am genuinely excited to have a healthy option in the gables (which is otherwise a haven for steak houses and italian restaurants). i had the cuban flatbread which shockingly tasted exactly like a cuban sandwich. the stuffed mushrooms were awesome!! and the goat cheese ravioli was kind of small but delicious - you just really better like goat cheese, because the flavor is overpowering. had a taste of the chili which was one of the best ive ever had! i oredered the chocolate peanut butter mousse for dessert that i felt like licking the shot glass in came in because it was just that good!! overall the restaurant is nice, the service was eager (actually i was annoyed at how eager they were to clear our plates, even when there was still food on them) and the prices were fair. i think this is a great addition to the gables scene.

Went in for lunch on a Thursday, it was busy with business. I sat at the bar while I waited for my table and my friends to arrive. I ordered a Sunshine Martini, very delicious. They infuse their vodka and there are several types to try. We were seated promptly by the hostess, the server followed and was very nice and polite. We asked several questions and he was happy to give us plenty of info on the dish. Every item on the lunch menu is less than 475 calories which is nice if you are constantly dieting like I am. We ordered the caramelized crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, then proceeded to order. I had the fish tacos... they were delicious. My friend ordered the spicy chicken chile relleno which she let me try and it was great also. Just enough food to fill you up but not too excessive. Very nice atmosphere, helpful staff, very nice for anytime of the week.

First time there. Food was excellent,well prepared and quick service. Nice bar. The flatbreads were to die for.I couldn't believe each dish was under 475 calories. For those that seriously count calories this place should be your next dinner destination. Great caloric value. portions were just right and with the calorie savings I was able to have a dessert. We had swordfish, tuna tartar,scallops and trout, all of which were excellent choices. I can't wait to go back and eat more of their healthy and delicious choices.....and now for the deserts.. Our jaws dropped as they presented 12 transparent shot glasses, each filled with a unique and scrumptious dessert, we each ine dessert and we enjoyed every last bite. I have subsequently eaten there and its still great and exceeds expectations . It is so busy I have to sit at the bar. .....Sandor Lenner

The place is super nice...I love the decor, but most of all I love the food, we ordered appetizers, main course, salad and desert.I am sure that there is options for every appetite. They have a piano bar that makes the place even more likable. The atmosphere invites you to stay and taste the great organic selection, with low calories options. I really recommend this restaurant.

I really wanted to like this place when I walked in. The decor is very new school steakhouse with the dark wood and wine bottles everywhere. There is also a piano player which I thought was a nice touch. We got the flatbread with tomatoes and basil. It was subpar at best. The ends where burnt and the Parmesan cheese was also burnt. Next we had the roasted shrimp with pasta and the filet mignon. I tried the shrimp and it was delicious. I cannot say the same about my steak. It was low quality and rare in the center and well done on the outside. I also ordered the salad with raspberries and those where very good. Maybe this place is more of a salad and fish place. The mini desserts where very good and just the right size. The service was excellent and the staff was very accommodating. I really like the concept of this place where they keep in season and under 475 calories. I still don't know if I'll give them another chance.

I'll let eveyone else go on and on about the decor and food. I'm going to give you a tidbit that you can use on your next date to show you know a little something extra about this place. Notice the 52 etched onto the wine glasses? It's not just there to make sure you don't run off with the glass as a souvenir. Did you know that they etch the 52 on the wine glasses so that you will always get a consistent pour of 6 ozs regardless of the shape of the glass. :) I do love their mini-desserts. I'll take one of everything.

I love this place! I tried this place last weekend and already can't wait to go back. Both the food and the service were great. Anyone that goes must try the flatbreads. They're legit. The menu at seasons is interesting. First, it's seasonally inspired. Second, everything listed is under 475 calories. Nothing is low fat or low carb. It's just an appropriate portion.

Over Christmas break, I went here to meet some friends and catch up as well as try a new flavor in Coral Gables. I had already heard so many good things about this place that I was excited! But, I had hear that the service what somewhat slow. Depsite my hesitance, there we went... Dinner was great; I sampled the Maui Tuna Crunch Salad and loved it. The portion was perfect and not overwhelmingly large like in many other restaurants these days. The menu showed a selection of very healthy and tasty plates, but this is what caught my eye. I also, had a few glasses of wine, which were good, but a little on the expensive side. The bill was a little above what I like to pay for dinner, but all in all that was not my main complaint. Stay tuned so you can hear about the service! Our waitress was a lovely person; very sweet and attentive, but the service could not have been slower. Upon hearing that my friend wanted to receive the check as soon as possible, she proceeded to leave us waiting over 20 minutes to receive the check. While I realize the place was full that evening and they are or were a brand new restaurant working out the kinks, it's something the management should really anticipate and work against. Otherwise, I had a very pleasant evening and greatly enjoyed my meal. Specifically, while I was there I got a peek at their luxurious and spacious bar in a separate room entirely. I would like to try this out some time, hopefully soon. And, I may return for dinner in the future when I leave a little more time to wait and don't have my impatience stamped on my forehead :)

Everything about this place works... The service is perfect, the ambiance is amazing, the drinks are great and of course the food... It is such a pleasant experience to know that the food you are eating is healthy and not swimming is butter and fat. Some things t try... ... Stuffed Mushrooms ... Any Flat bread ... The Chili ... Any fish dish The menu is always changing like the seasons, so you will not get bored. You eat well and feel great after, what a novelty!!!

FIrst a warning - I got a parking ticket at 9:12 PM while enjoying my dinner at Seasons52. I was parked right outside the door. So parkers beware the CIty of Coral Gables is out fining you for parking while you are spending money in the local businesses..... at 9PM.... Really????? We had another great dinner at Seasons52 in Coral Gables. The service was excellent, the food as advertised, I had the salmon, prepared perfectly and tasty. We had a group of 11 ppl and all enjoyed their visit. As usual the mini desserts were great and a huge hit. Always a winner.

A good for you addition to Miracle Mile. I paid what looks to be the first of many visits to Seasons 52 this past Saturday. It was early so we had no problem grabbing a booth by the bar and proceeded to have a delicious and pleasant meal.Each of the dishes we tried were full of flavor and decent size portion (we were leary having heard this was a "healthy" spot. The Cuban flatbread (unique to this location) The goat cheese ravioli (so good) The fish tacos (yummy wheat tortilla and just enough kick) The tortilla soup (really tasty) The dessert are not only adorable, but delicious as well. All in all, I thought the menu was nicely varied and not overwhelming and I will certainly be back for more!

Been to this Seasons 52 twice, once (weekend dinner) the service and food was fantastic. My second visit (Saturday morning lunch) the service was awful and food was average at best. I would probably visit again for dinner but never again for lunch.

In a city where I am pretty consistently disappointed with service and quality, Seasons 52 is a very refreshing reminder that there are still some restaurants out there that get it. ***It should be noted that every dish on their menu is guaranteed to be 475 calories or less. They have extensive nutritional information on their website if you are closely monitoring your calorie intake. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by friendly staff that immediately took care of us. The decor was lovely and has a very warm, Colorado lodge feel. The staff is very attentive, very friendly and very capable. Their prices are very reasonable and you can make your meal as light or heavy as you like. The flatbreads are all delicious and would make a great light snack on their own. Their menu changes completely every 3 months to reflect what is in season and fresh at that time...an amazingly wonderful concept. They also have specials that change every week. The restaurant just feels healthy, fresh and overall...right. They have a lovely outdoor area where you can sit on a pleasant day or night and enjoy a glass of one of the 60 wines they offer by the glass (and of course a few flatbreads.) This is a place I very much look forward to returning to. As I mentioned before, they really got it right with the quality of service they provide...a rarity in Miami these days.

So I went to Season's 52 this past weekend with a large group of friends. I had never heard of it, but there are so many new restaurants popping up on the Mile lately, its hard to keep track of them. The restaurant has a nice upper scale ambiance, kind of like Carraba's. It is a chain that tries to feel like its not a chain. The theme of their menu is to use only fresh produce and meats that are in season. I would consider their menu to be American fusion of sorts. They were offering a pre-fixe menu this evening and I decided to go with it, just for the sake of being able to try a larger number of dishes. I started out with the mushroom caps stuffed with crab and shrimp, which I thought sounded good. When it came to us they were covered in mozzarella cheese and parsley, which made me apprehensive since seafood tends to be better when left to its own seasonings. The shrimp were half the size of cocktail shrimp and the tasted like sausage. It was quite odd to be eating shrimp, that looked like shrimp, but tasted exactly like sausage. It wasn't a good thing. Most everyone else in our group who ordered them thought they were pretty bad as well. One guy even joked about swallowing them whole with his beer because he was just hungry, however I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.... Since we were a large group (20 people) it understandably took awhile for our orders to arrive. Apparently they do not serve bread to ward off hungry lions at Season's 52. I really think any good restaurant should serve bread, its a great investment to keep customers from grumbling. The salad came next. It was a simple spinach salad with raspberries, gorgonzola cheese, and pinenuts. It had a vinagrette on it of some sort, it was actually quite sour and didn't really go well with the rest of the salad. Too many sour flavors and not enough sweet to balance it out properly. Again, fresh bread or croutons would work wonders here. I ordered the Salmon on a cedar plank for my entree and my husband ordered the Filet Mignon. My salmon was cooked to perfection and was lovely. Very interesting to see it cooked on a plank of cedar wood, I had never had salmon like this before. The meal came with steamed carrots, red potatoes, and steamed asparagus. Unfortunately they were not good. The carrots were bland, the potatoes were half way cooked, and the asparagus was tough and overcooked. The vegetables were only seasoned with the barest of salt and pepper. I think the chef wants you to appreciate the freshness of the vegetables and their natural flavors, which you probably could if they had been cooked properly. My husband's filet mignon was very good, nearly everyone else at the table ordered it as well. His vegetables had also been mistreated like mine, except for the mushrooms which were tasty. So he traded me his mushrooms for the half of my red potatoes that were cooked. The filet mignon came with a plum style barbeque sauce which I thought was a bit unconventional with a good quality steak. I had the mini Meyer lemon dessert in a cup and my husband had the Baklava. They were great and everyone else at the table loved their desserts. So the night ended well. The portions were full sized which is surprising as most restaurants try to skimp for pre-fix meals and the wait staff was pretty good. Their were a few small dings, it seemed they weren't used to managing large groups. Everyone had to ask for steak knives after their entrees arrived and the waitresses just slid them across the table without wrapping them in a napkin which I thought was a bit unsanitary. So a few pointers for a restaurant that is trying to be upscale. The food here is ok, but it seems like the menu was put together without testing it out on real people. Some things are good, but there is an overall blandness to most of the dishes which is disappointing since the idea of using seasonal/local foods seems like a good one. I would have much preferred going to Angelique which is also on the Mile and has excellent Euro fusion cuisine.

What a pleasant surprise. I was in the Miracle Mile area today around lunch and remembered hearing something about Seasons 52, so I thought I would stop by for a bite. I looked at the menu and thought 475 calories (everything is under 475 calories on the menu) - these must be some tiny portions! I was wrong. First, the chef brought out an amuse bouche of shrimp on top of a tropical salad. A very nice start. And quite the surprise considering that it was lunch. I then had the chipotle shrimp flat bread. Very good flavors - and honestly, a huge amount of it... and then the goat cheese raviolis came out. Once again, a very large portion and solid flavors. I'm shocked that these portions were under 475 calories - but apparently there is no frying and no butter in the preparation. Honestly, I didn't miss butter or frying. On top of it, the service was quite polite and attentive. The staff seem quite intent on ensuring everyone has a quality experience. I did sneak a peek at the dessert tray - and this is where portion control does kick in for the 475 calories... it all looked marvelous though... but shockingly I was full, and had a doggy bag to bring the extras home. Who would have thought?

I'm officially a fan of this tasty and healthy eatery. And I heart the fact that they change the menu every season. All about it. Try the mushroom flatbread, the burger and you can't leave without having the oreo dessert. Yumm!

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants, ever. Are you going to have to sit and wait forever for a table, even if you have a reservation? Yes. But it's so worth it. Once you're at a table they are super fast and take care of you. Last time we had Joel as our server and he was fantastic. Favorite drink: Strawberry Basil Fusion. Perfect hint of strawberry without being overly sweet and sugary. Tastes fresh. $11 which isn't all that bad considering they fill up your martini glass and then give you the shaker which has more drink in it. Yum. I also love that if you order wine at dinner the waiter will pour the glass at your table instead of doing it in the back. It's a nice touch. Favorite dish: Honestly- all of em! I've never had anything bad. These are my favorites: -Earthbound Farm's Organic Arugula Salad: big chunks of goat cheese, not too much dressing, love the beets -Caramelized Sea Scallops: last time I think there were 8 scallops on my plate cooked perfectly, i subbed spinach for the asparagus and it was sooo good -Tuna & Avocado Roll: this was on special when I went, just as good as anything I've had in a sushi restaurant -Spicy Chipotle Shrimp Flatbread: the smoky chipotle mixed with the sweet pineapple is so good Also, it's a sin if you don't get one of the mini indulgences. My favorites are the carrot cake and peanut butter chocolate ones.

A "very nice" experience overall. Very nice is the most impersonal term when describing food and probably the most overused words out of the servers mouth. Consistent with the feel of Coral Gables itself; artificial. The food however was tasty and appropriately priced for the flavor. Quantities quantities. I understand how they are able to sneak everything in under their calorie limit. ordered four appetizers total and two entrees for two people; leaving not a speck on any plate and eventually after an excess of chewing felt sated. Live piano player = WTF? is this a high end department store? piano is BEHIND the bar...... strange On a very positive note if you are looking for a table and a very negative note if you are sitting; the bar has booths and tables that are first come first serve. You have to walk around and see how far people are through their meal (which is where it is awkward to see people lingering and strategizing for your table) and hope you get lucky if you don't want to wait traditional style.... I was very lucky after being quoted 1.5 hours to wait less than 10 minutes. It did require me to postpone smiling so that I could sport my seriously don't even f*ing try it face....no one did try it.. and I got my table : ) I could feel disdain from a few servers who forgot they were servers and not models. Either that or they continue to suffer silently through the indignation from having to wait on people they find contemptible. Pretty servers who can smile through a massacre are not enough to convince me of anything. If you like everything all the time then you will love it here. If you are looking for amazing anything just keep looking. If you are trying to eat in a "very nice" atmosphere on the cheap... do it.. most expensive entree was only 25. And even with bitter servers the flavors of the food(which remain unaffected) are a fair trade for this price point.

Because of the short week, I had my regular lunch out with my boss and co-worker today. Together we all experienced the new Seasons 52 that just opened on Miracle Mile. I ordered the blackened fish tacos, a cappuccino, and couldn't turn down a double shot glass dessert of a mocha chocolate concoction thing once our server, Jeff, placed a large platter of an assortment of different desserts on our table and set up our doilies and spoons. Smart, Jeff. Smart. I thought everything was delicious and actually ate everything I was served! ..which makes me think most people wouldn't be satisfied with the portions at this restaurant considering I always eat half of what I'm served anywhere, usually. Everything here that is served is under 475 calories btw. I almost forgot-- you can make reservations online. Their site is user friendly and reservations can be made quite efficiently. (Word)

Everything on the menu is 475 calories or less and it all tastes fresh. The menus change with each season, offering ingredients that are in season. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, even if they are not assigned to your table. It was our first visit there and when the chef found out, he came personally to our table and gave us a complimentary shrimp appetizer. The manager came by to see how we were doing. Our waitress was wonderful, although she forgot my husband had mentioned it was my birthday. We weren't expecting anything except for them to sing happy birthday. She advised her manager of it, who then came to our table and apologized. It really was no big deal at all to us, yet they generously compensated us by taking all of the appetizers and desserts off of our bill, plus complimentary group pictures, and a $25 gift card! They totally exceeded our expectations.

I dined at seasons 52 recently and the food was definitely delicious, and all dishes are under 475 calories. The deserts were simply delectable and served appropriately in small cups, much like shot glasses. The service could use a little primping as the appetizers arrived before the wine and we had to ask for an ice bucket for our wine. Overall though, pretty good!

We are now sitting at the bar at Seasons 52. The service is great the food........not so hot. We both had the Mediterranean special fish. Tasteless snapper served with roughly 10 miniature shrimp on a bed of arugula and tabbouleh we asked for salt and pepper hot flakes anything to give this over done tasteless fish some energy some taste..... Something, anything. Seasons 52 is one of my favorites. Stay away from the specials until they find a new chef. Chef special is not.....

The atmosphere and ambiance of Seasons 52 was great, cozy feeling yet upscale. I always appreciate a place that has lower calorie options, especially one that has a whole menu full. Not a whole lot to choose from if you're a vegetarian (a plate that will fill you up anyway). I ordered the spinach and raspberry salad (small plate-not available as an entree) and it was very good. I also had a side of the corn on the cob - delicious and very well done where it didn't stick in your teeth. I am not impressed with the service. We had a table of 8 and you could just tell by our waitress' expressions she was overwhelmed and/or just annoyed to be working with a larger group (even though we made no extra/out of the ordinary requests). She didn't even bother to fill up anyone's waters or drinks. She just dropped off the check and bounced out of there. I always drink at least 2 glasses of water for dinner so I was feeling very thirsty and had to ask someone else. I would have expected better service out of this restaurant.

I love Seasons 52 in Fort Lauderdale, when I visited this location in Coral Gables my meal was disappointing. The flatbreads were good, but my main course cold, and tasteless. It made me not want to go back to Seasons 52, and that's a shame, because I was a fan for a long time.

Not many restaurants like this, great location, great food, service and ambiance. Lets just start out with everything on the menu is less than 475 calories but sure does not taste that way. Menu is seasonal, hence "Seasons" 52. I have ate her numerous times at both the regular dining room and at a private chef's tasting table and menu. This is one of my go-to spots in Miami. I never feel guilty after leaving here, always full like my eating mission was accomplished but never overly stuffed that I need to unbuckle my belt and I love to eat. They feature a nice open kitchen so you know what is happening in the kitchen which for me is a major bonus. I recommend any of the flat bread pizzas for the appetizers they are out of this world ( I usually order 1 or 2 to take home after my meal.) Basically anything on the menu is going to be excellent, good wine list (most wines are sustainable). Make sure you do not leave without getting the shot glass sized desserts, the waiter/waitress comes to your table with over a dozen desserts all in shot glasses (less than 475 calories) all are exquisite. Overall great pick with plenty of options for the people who are conscious about what they are actually putting into their body.

Parking in the Gables on the weekend is always an issue. The interior was well designed and the decor was elegant. The wait staff was on top of the organic theme and noted that all entrees were less than 475 calories. Appetizers: The chicken stuffed Poblano pepper arrived a little cold but was still good. The crab & shrimp stuffed mushrooms were perfect. I ordered the Tuna med rare and it arrived medium +. The pork tenderloin was also overdone. The Sinskey pinot was not stored on its side and was served warmer than it should have been. They did provide a decanter upon request. The ambiance is excellent and our server was very attentive. The pianist playing pop tunes was a nice touch. Might be back.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Miami! All the dishes are super tasty, fresh and under 475 calories! It does't get any better than that. There's also a piano player that sings and plays piano at the bar, which makes for a great ambiance. Who does't love live music? The service is consistently good, the drinks are yummy, and the food never disappoints. They also change the menu according to the season, so there's always new items to try. I love the bbq chicken salad, and the flatbreads! You have to try a flatbread if you go! I also recommend that you try the Avaleda Vino Vherde, it's a white wine with a hint of sparkle/bubble, it's delicious!

Holy mother of flatbreads!! FINALLY checked this place out after months of wanting to go and it definitely did NOT disappoint. The decor is warm and cozy with a fire in the foyer and great lighting throughout. Service was impeccable, the two times we were there we were seated promptly and waited on extremely quickly. Drinks and water were out in no time. Our waiter(s) were very knowledgeable regarding the menu as well as the extensive wine list. Being a HUGE wino, I love the fact that there are some obscure wines there. I had the opportunity to try out a couple of new reds based on waiter recommendations and was very impressed. We had the steak and crimini mushroom flatbread for appetizer as well as the chili and OMG they were amazing. This coming from a NON mushroom lover. It was so good that I ordered a second one for lunch the next day. On one occasion I had a pork chop over sweet potato mash that was out of control and the other day a mahi, also outstanding. Dessert was pecan pie on one day and key lime the other. Both were the right portion to satisfy my sweet tooth without making me feel like a fat ass. :) Overall I loved Seasons and would definitely return. They run a tight ship and it shows. Wonderful experience both times.

We just finished dinner. The food was horrible. Tuna tar tare was not fresh and had zero flavor. I ordered the sesame crusted tuna, probably the worst I have ever had. My husband ordered the free range veal porterhouse. It was tough as leather. The flavors were completely mismatched. Lastly, my poor daughter's flat bread was mediocre to say the least. How do you get cheese, bread and marinara wrong? Will definitely not return. Very disappointing!

I was totally disappointed by this place. Went for "happy hour" with my boyfriend and his family, only to find out that they do not have a happy hour...EVER! It was Friday at 5:00 pm...Happy Hour is an unspoken rule at this time and Season's 52 unfortunately broke that rule! I got a martini with vodka, grapefruit juice, and agave nectar. Although it was delicious, it was $13 which to me, is a bit too much...especially at a Happy Hour time! Here is what was ordered on the table.... Cuban Flatbread - the best thing I ate, pretty good. Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms - gross...the shrimp was like a rubber band! Edemame - average Pork Tenderloin - My boyfriend got this and it was okay...really small portion though for the price BBQ Chicken Salad - Had a bite of this and it was okay...nothing special Also...the atmosphere was extremely boring. I felt like I was on a cruise ship dining room for someones 70th birthday party. The crowd is comprised of those in their 60s and 70s, which for this energetic 24 years old, can get a bit sleepy. The piano player, who plays inside the bar (very weird) gets an A for effort but would have been better to listen to when trying to fall asleep...wah wah wahhh! Overall, I don't think I'll be back. I think it is overpriced for the portion size AND the food is extremely bland and boring. Their whole 500 calories or less on the menu items is a good idea in theory, but the chef needs to find more ways to add flavor and not calories because the food is really lacking in the "MMMMMM" factor we all want on a Friday night out for dinner!

Went with my entire family for my parent's anniversary. Party of 14. The food was delicious and sensible, both in price & nutrition! You would never believe out is healthy for you because it just tastes so good! As you can expect, with such a large party there were a few ordering glitches, but the servers did not try to cover up any problems, but rather they immediately informed us of the problem and comped us quite a few goodies to make up for the 5 minute delay in receiving entrees! I can't wait to return in a smaller party!

My flatbread was a good size and very tasty but the service was poor. I asked for garlic and never received it and we had to go to the bar for refills on our soda. It an average restaurant with average food and poor service which isn't justified since it wasn't busy for lunch.

We came to eat next door at Red Koi and could hear a piano playing from our table with great music. We decided to stop by and found a fantastic bar with a revolving piano. The pianist new many songs. Unfortunately he told us that this will be his last week playing there as they will be turning it into a "trendier/hip bar with house music" (his words).

Seasons 52 is a great place to have a drink, meet people and have a relaxing evening with background music and nice ambiance...for dinner? Well, don't go too hungry, even though the food is tasty and delicious, the portions are very small. Our group was starving, thank goodness we started with different types of appetizers (loved the flat breads), so by the time our small portion arrived, it was ok. Although I think my husband left hungry, but he is a big eater... ; - /

We planned a celebratory dinner with another couple and picked Seasons 52 on a friend's recommendation. I looked at the menu online ( hi, I'm Type A ) and was debating between the cedar plank salmon or the filet mignon. We arrived a little early for our reservation and were promptly sat in a nice booth in the corner. I was delighted to learn it was the first day of Miami Spice month (months?) and both the salmon AND steak were on the special menu. Our server was attentive, went into detail about the regular menu and the specials and barely gave the Miami spice menu a nod. (I've heard terrible things about Miami spice but I was pleasantly surprised this time around.) For $39 I got the appetizer, salad, entree, and two small desserts. You really can't go wrong with that. Although I did the math and I probably only saved $10. If it hadn't been Miami spice, I would have still ordered a salad with my entree, probably not a appetizer so honestly it's up to how big of an appetite you've worked up. I got the chicken pesto flatbread- pretty average, tasty nonetheless. The spinach salad was fresh, light, and filling. I went for the filet mignon. I ordered medium but came out more well than medium, still ate it, still tasted good, but would have preferred a juicier steak tbh. The desserts were good, mostly cream or mouse topped with cocoa, chocolate or some sugary, fluffy substance. Everyone else ordered off of the regular menu, everything looked delicious, smelled delicious, and the conversation pretty much ceased after our food came out. That's always a good sign.

I had heard awesome reviews about Seasons 52. A group of friends invited us to dinner and this is the place they chose. The decor is impecable, I was a little scared because I thought it would be expensive. For my surprise, the prices were reasonable. I decided to split a rack of lamb with the hubby because it was already 10:30pm. The lamb was perfectly cooked, seared on the outside and juicy on the inside. Next time I go I will eat a whole rack. Mashed potatoes were ok, all the dishes at Seasons 52 are under 475 calories so the mash is not inundated in butter. The veggies were delicious as well. I can't wait to go back to Seasons 52 here in California and try many more of their dishes.

I have to say Season's 52 was very accommodating in changing the reservation from a group of 4 to 6 a few days before Valentine's Day. Upon arrival we were promptly seated. We tried the steak and blue cheese as well as the cheddar and short rib flat breads and they were delish. You can't go wrong with any of them. I didn't have the mushroom bisque but I heard only great things about the perfectly cooked mushrooms -- so I craved it a little, I'm not gonna lie. For the main course I had the filet mignon which was extremely juicy but not cooked to order. The sides were just as good. The service was very slow and sort of inattentive -- perhaps because we were a group of 6. However, everybody left very satisfied after the small dessert shots.

I have been wanting to eat here for a while, and finally got the opportunity when someone gave me a gift card. We went at lunch time, were seated right away, and our server came right over. Our server, Misael, was EXCELLENT!! Really, really great server! We both started with some delicious tea - with lemonade. SO good. And, we got a tomato/basil flatbread appetizer. That is a MUST. It's very thin and light and delicious. I would go back here just to have it again! I ordered the Vegetarian Tasting (quinoa-citrus salad, soft taco, vegetables, cedar-roasted tofu, tropical salsa). It came with the tofu, quinoa salad (cold), a soft taco with beans, broccoli, corn salad (cold), and some kind of sweet salsa on top of the tofu. Everything was so delicious and flavored perfectly. I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but they drizzled it (lightly) with something, and you could taste that it was grilled - SO good. The tofu was prepared perfectly, and the corn salad was good too. As for the quinoa and corn salad, both are served cold. It is just MY preference for things to be warm or hot - so I didn't care for that aspect of it. But, I don't mean to take anything away from how good it tasted; just not my choice for cold. My friend had a similar veg dish, (Cedar Plank Roasted Tofu choice of asparagus, carrots, broccoli or cremini mushrooms, and roasted crushed potatoes) but her's came with these AMAZING skinny carrots. OMG, they were SO good. My dish was $15.50, and her's was around $12-something. The prices are a tad high, but, I knew that going in. If you are a vegetarian, be sure to ask for the separate vegetarian menu - some of it is the same as the regular, but there is a separate menu - also for vegans. Now, let's talk about the desserts. You MUST order dessert. They are small treats, and are only $3. Each one looked better than the next; we settled on 3: Blueberry/lemon, dark chocolate-something, and, OMG, the peanut butter. You MUST get the peanut butter - soooo good. They were ALL very good - a really nice way to end your meal. The restaurant is clean, and the decor is upscale (but not snooty!) and welcoming. It's a little dim in there, but that was fine. If I had to describe the restaurant, I would just call it a little upscale, with delicious, fresh-tasting, real food. I have read all the reviews and there's something I don't get - others say the portions are small. Both our plates were not small, and we even took some home (and, I'm a big eater!). So, that aspect of the other reviews, I don't agree with. We definitely came away very full from our meal. One thing I do agree with the other reviewers, and that's that it's a bit pricey. I don't love paying that much for a meal, but it was really fresh and good - so I guess you get what you pay for. Again, the service was exemplary! We weren't in a hurry, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We finished our appetizer, then shortly after that, the food came out. It is not a rushed place at all - it's laid back and comfortable. All good! I have nothing bad to say.

I will love giving more stars and I might. Nevertheless, the gentlemen toilets did not had any hand tissue. Having an automatic dispenser will go a long way to make the patrons keeping their hands from flagging the air all around to dry.

The only thing I can really say I like about this place are the flatbreads. Pretty much everything else - all other food, service, prices, portions, etc. seem to be really lacking. I work pretty close to this location and have come here a couple of times, either for meetings with customers or just to get away from the office with some coworkers. The service is consistently, excruciatingly slow. I have the same problem with a handful of places in the gables. I would say 90% of people are sitting down to have lunch during the week on their lunch break. Why do you think it's ok for a meal to take nearly two hours? Today we sat down with six people. Aside from the long wait times for everything, I would say we had 3 plates that still had at least half the food on them by the time the meal was over. That's saying a lot considering how small the portions are. Even those of us who finished our food (myself included) didn't have much to say except that it was "OK". Not really any reason to come back. And even though I felt my food was ok, I found myself with a stomachache not long after. The whole concept of this place is light fare - everything on the menu has 475 calories or less. This is great except a) the food is lacking in flavor b) portions are fairly small and c) they still cost as much as a large plate of full calorie food. I've definitely had better, cheaper healthy food elsewhere.

Great atmosphere, upscale decor, fresh delicious food yet a bit pricey for just any day casual lunch. Service was good, waiter was knowledgeable about menu items. Took two of my colleagues for Birthday lunch and we all left satisfied and happy. The lump crab wedge salad was (still is lol) mouthwatering. Definitely recommend for any special occasion.

Really versatile menu! I love that they put all of the calories on the menu too and have tons of low calories options. The lighting is very dim inside, though and it can take a while for the server to come check on the table. Overall good food and great atmosphere.

The restaurant is clean and dark and a little noisy. The server was friendly and attentive. The salad with chicken was very fresh and flavorful. The rotisserie chicken was well seasoned and had nice caramelization on the skin. The maple glaze was delicious. The mashed potatoes needed some seasoning.

The Quick: Very trendy and romantic restaurant (all locations), great food and fun concept, all for under 475 calories per dish. Great chain that doesn't feel like a chain. The Details: The concept is unique and refreshing, they have four different main menus, one for each season, then they have different specials each week of the year... hence the 52, Seasons 52. I love that every time you go there's something new on the menu to be tried and devoured. They are also known for their extensive wine list, from average wines to an extremely high price point. They really do have something to fit everyone's budget. It is a very sexy and appealing restaurant, perfect for a date or even for group. It's also located on a great block where you can stroll around and window shop, or sit outside under the strings of lights and people watch. Every time I've gone I've tried something different, as the menu changes each week. Overall, every flatbread we have tried has been absolutely delicious. Very flavorful and crispy. The scallops were amazing, and the desserts are always the perfect portion of sweetness, served in big shot glasses. Just keep in mind since each dish has to be in the specified calorie range, they are normal human sized portions... So you'll want an appetizer to share. The only thing I didn't love was the duck lettuce wrap tacos (pictured). It was good but it honestly would have been better on a crispy panini with jam. I should have splurged for the duck sandwich since each dish is still under 475 calories anyway. The Damage: A little pricey, since you have to get a flatbread/ appetizer to split (they're the best part!) We went for lunch with 5 people and spent $125 + tip for 5 entrees, 2 flatbreads, and one soup. There wasn't a lunch menu though, so we ordered regular priced entrees. It wouldn't have been much more expensive for dinner, so it's more reasonable for dinner.

I absolutely loved my experience last night. The service was good, the ambiance was warm and perfect for unwinding. I ordered the Maui Tuna Crunch salad, which was delightful. The combination of fruits and vegetables was so refreshing yet flavorful, and I like the texture the nuts added to the salad. I also tried a slice of the must have flat breads and it was like a little piece of cheesy heaven in my mouth. Best of all the menu overall seems pretty healthy yet delicious and included the amount of calories in each dish. This was perfect for my situation since I happen to be on a diet which involves counting calories.

This is a nice place to come for dinner or happy hour. It is located on Miracle Mile and the restaurant itself is nicely decorated. One of the things I like the most is the bar area, they have somebody playing the piano in the evenings. The music is loud enough that you can hear it but also low enough that you can hear each other's conversations. The thing about this place is that meals are under 475 calories, the plates are delicious but also have the right portion so you can eat guilt-free.

Coral Gables is full of great quality restaurants. Therefore, the Yelpies event could have not been in a better location to experience a great dish after the event. Jessica and I are trying to eat healthier since we are on the working out and cross-fit fix. Therefore with all meals under 500 calories we were immediately drawn to Seasons 52. Upon arrival there was not wait time and we were immediately seated. The server was outstanding. She had a full knowledge of the menu and what the specials were for the day. In addition, she was able to describe the dishes on the menu to the exact detail. Jessica went with the Roasted Chicken and I went with the Corn Risotto and Scallops. In addition, we went with the bacon and blue cheese flatbread and white bean chicken chili. The flatbread was very good! Crispy on the bottom yet soft on the top, the bacon and blue cheese was not over powering but just right to make the dish come together. Topped with arugula on top, it was a very good appetizer if your looking for something light and not to heavy. The chili was darn good as well, the chicken was and white bean paired very well together and again a light appetizer if your not looking for something to fill you up before you entree. The Roasted chicken was very flavorful and quite chunky lots of meat in one small chicken I thought to myself. It had the right combination of species and seasoning. The vegetables especially the tomatoes were sweet and tangy and as always the balsamic pairs very well with the tomatoes. The Corn Risotto was spectacular! The texture was just right! The Scallops were cooked to perfection as well. It didn't have the sandy flavor that other restaurants have or that squishy bland flavor. These were grilled just right where the texture of the scallop and flavor were exactly how they needed to be. Very delicious dish the combination of the seafood and risotto is one of my parings there is in dining. I capped it off with a doppio expresso and the night could not have ended better. Comparing Seasons 52 to other restaurant's I can see how there dishes are under 500 calories. They don't cook with lots of sodium or other spices or ingredients that add inches to your waste, so the normal flavor that you would have on some of there dishes compared to other restaurants is lacking, but that's the cost of healthy clean eating. Nevertheless, I understand the philosophy and concept and the food taste great for the calories your consuming. Great Work !

Food is excellent, the menu states how many calories each dish has, cocktails are amazing- my favorite is the dirty martini- extra dirty with the blue cheese stuffed olives! The best part would be the dessert selection, make sure you try the carrot cake and pecan pie!! Service is great, regardless of group size. They also have private rooms for events!

Seasons 52 is always a safe bet for reasonably priced, light and veg friendly fare. Such a chick place. Had the most perfect lunch on the Coral Gables restaurant week fix price menu. My waiter was great and timed each course just right. Started with the roasted tomato flat bread. Crispy, thin crust, non-greasy, golden brown, tossed with just the right amount of finely chopped fresh basil. Loved it. The crunchy tuna salad was solid. Tuna just barely seared, thinly sliced and a great quality dark red piece of "meat". I loved that they grilled the pineapple and mango before tossing them into the greens. My orange quinoa salad should have been called a quinoa barley salad, as it was 50/50. Barley is not the right choice for this dish as it is too starchy and made for a strange mealy texture. I did like the tiny dices of apple in the salad but it needed more citrus flavor. Of course, the mini dessert shots are irresistible and the most genius invention ever. You get so many different layers of flavor and texture in that tiny glass, without hating yourself afterwards. Now, I am a fan of big desserts, even shamefully oversized ones, but this way you get to sample two or even three if you're like me and can't just pick one. The chocolate s'mores dessert is a must try. Rich dark chocolate mousse topped with crumbled graham crackers and a marshmallow. The only problem I had was that my tongue isn't long enough to lick the shot glass. The pecan pie shot is a lot sweeter. Vanilla custard topped with crunchy pecan pie filling and whipped cream, yummers. All of that for less than $20 makes me very happy.

The desserts are cute and taste fine. However - service was soooo slow around 4pm. Unacceptable. Seems like the decor is made for an older men's club. Reminds me of Ruby Tuesdays. Prices are reasonable except for their cocktails. Those are more pricey.

Updating my review. Food quality is going up. The food is tasting delicious. I had the tuna crunch and it was so tasty. Flatbreads are always A+ and the desserts. I love me some pecan mini indulgence

I really love this place, honestly don't have anything negative to say. I ordered the tuna salad (can't recall the official name) and one of their flatbreads. The portions are fairly large on the salad which is nice for a change. The staff are very friendly and patient. I was there with an old friend and we were literally the last to leave. No rush at all, the waiter picked up on the fact that no, we weren't ready to order and didn't hassle us every 5 minutes. Also, not to mention, the calories are right there! So it makes healthy eating much easier.

I have been here many times and never disappointed. The service is always attentive and the menu changes with the season. We had wild salmon which was delicious and filet mignon which was perfectly cooked. And the small dessert idea is brilliant. A bit of sweet after the meal.

I love it here. One of my favorite chain restaurants. There is a piano player, great wine selections, and a very pleasant staff. Its definitely a nice place for lunch or dinner. With a setting that is warm (their fire pit in the winter rocks), sophisticated, and intimate, and a menu offering a variety of fresh and yummy options that change every season (how cool) and are under 475 calories- what isn't there to love? Of course if you eat an appetizer, soup, an entree, and dessert, its not under 475... but you still would've enjoyed quality food and not feel uncomfortably overstuffed after 3 courses like you may feel at other restaurants where its greasy and the portions are unrealistic. Though I have taken one of my friends here and she was still hungry after dinner. So the portions here are not large, but for me, personally, I can share a flatbread and an appetizer, finish an entree, and have a dessert and am full and satisfied. So... Flatbreads are a must and they are all good! ..All of them. Shrimp cavatappi shrimp pasta, their grilled scallops, rainbow trout, and filet mignon are delicious entree options. I think in the winter they have venison...i thought I wouldn't like "gamey"meat but its pretty good :) Its kind of funny, usually after dinner, the server will bring you the tray of desserts without even asking if you want it. They think they're slick...But I end up with dessert every time haha. These mini indulgences as they are small and just the right amount of dessert (supposedly...) are amazing!!! My favorites are the Chocolate peanut butter torte and the pecan pie with vanilla bean mousse. Perfect ending to the meal ;)

If you are planning to go to this restaurant, please be sure to be an anorexic 15 year old white girl or make a pit stop at the nearest fast food joint before, during, and after you make your order. You'll likely still leave there wishing for more substance (or anything at all). The portions were so small I found myself wishing the waiter would fall face first into the candle so I could take a bite off this freshly grilled churrasco and avoid certain death by seasonal starvation. I understand the plates are marketed as small, and under 500 calories, but next time I think I'll stick to making a peanut butter sandwich. It is more filling and many times cheaper. To keep the rating fair and balanced I feel obligated to make at least one good comment about the restaurant and it is that the water there was plentiful (and more filling than the food.)

Cristina B.
Food tasted great and natural. Portions were on the small side and the menu items were rather pricey especially the drinks. The variety on the menu is great but if your looking to spend less than 20 dollars a plate you will feel limited. Either way, Seasons 52 may not give you the most bang for your buck but the quality is consistent and superb.

Great spot!!.... me and my gf went there for dinner tonight and it was amazing. Fresh food and beautiful decor. The tomato avocado salad was out of this world and the scallops with corn risotto was even better. Def will be coming back soon!
Went to Seasons 52 during Coral Gables Restaurant Week and eating here was the best decision! The food was great from beginning to end. Hands down the BEST restaurant in Coral Gables!

Went here for my birthday with a friend and it was great!! Super nice ambience with a great selection of food, cocktails and desserts (all under 475 calories - big plus!). I recommend: - Lump Crab, Roasted Shrimp & Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms - Cedar-Plank Roasted Salmon - Hawaiian Pineapple Cosmopolitan - The desserts!! They came in tiny little cute cups and I wanted to try them all! But I didn't want to be such a fatty. So my friend and I got the Key Lime, Smores, and Carrot Cake (complimentary for our birthdays). I am usually not a Key Lime person b/c it's too tart, but OMGOSH...this is a must try! It was delicious!! The other two were great too. I'm glad I had a second stomach for dessert :) My friend's Shrimp Cavatappi Pasta was just OK, I don't think he liked it that much.

Oh what a night! Our Valentine's night started with a bang. Literally. As we valet parked our car and headed towards the restaurant, we heard a car crash and turned to realize that it was our car that had hit another. The valet guy had backed in to oncoming traffic without a second glance. As my husband dealt with calling the police, I went in to Seasons to let them know that we would obviously be late for our reservation. The hostesses expressed extreme surprise and sympathy and graciously held our reservation while we dealt with the valet and the police. Fast forward an hour and we were finally seated. I can honestly say that this was one of our best dining experiences ever. Every employee from our server, Misael, to Chef Matt, to the manager, Fernando, did everything in their power to make up for our disastrous valet experience. I'll add here that the valet is operated by a separate company and has no affiliation with the restaurant, but that didn't matter to the staff at Seasons 52. Complimentary glasses of champagne and our choice of flatbread to start the meal and we instantly forgot about our valet mishap. Our specialty cocktails were delicious. (I fell in love with Makers Mark all over again.) I would have given them the full five stars except hubby had to send his steak back twice. The chef and my hubby did not see eye to eye on the definition of "medium well." But our server was quick to offer complimentary coffee and dessert. Overall, I love the fact that Seasons 52 worked so hard to clear our minds of the valet incident even though it was clearly not their fault. We will definitely be back! And we will definitely not valet park.

We dined at the Seasons 52 in downtown Coral Gables on a busy Thursday night in late March. It's been two years at least since we visited this popular restaurant in the heart of Miracle Mile. Once again we were delighted across the board with menu, service and atmosphere. The menu is somewhat limited, but for a reason. They go seasonal and do not disappoint plus all the main food fare (including the flatbreads) is under 475 calories across the board. The venison chop, an occasional menu treat esp. in winter was rare and seasoned perfectly (lightly so not to interrupt that very unique flavor); the turkey skewer presented chunks of well marinated charcoaled tender meat accompanied by a cucumber vinaigrette salad, the sesame grilled salmon was fresh and cooked perfectly and the chunky lump crab, shrimp and spinach stuffed in mushrooms(served as an appetizer) was crab intense ditto the blackened steak and blue cheese flat bread (also served as an appetizer. We ordered one chefs special mushroom puree soup which was a tad bland but with a surfeit of differing shrooms. The bottle of wine chosen was a perfect companion to all four diners food. The Kettel One vodka martini typically sizable and perfectly mixed. You can also enjoy a glass of cava in the bar area. Happily we had room when the desert tray with its individual parfaits. Our friends tried the mini desserts (which consist of red velvet, pumpkin cinnamon pie, chocolate peanut butter mousse) and they were astonished. Service is seamless. Easy and Attentive. Prices at Seasons 52 belie its upscale atmosphere. Affordable and a wide variety across the menu from $9 to $25. Parking in Coral Gables is always a trial, however there's a sizable municipal lot behind this restaurant and we've always found a spot quickly. Pay kiosks are all around the lot.
Short version: Get the apps and dessert, skip the main course. Long version: I enjoyed the dimly lit interior with the faux heavy timber framing, and the black bean chili was as good as Mima's with a subtly spicy kick. This restaurant chain advertises its cuisine as being flavorful yet healthy and the chili appetizer keeps that promise. The presentation was also beautiful. Likewise with the strawberry dessert shot and accompanying balsamic vinegar reduction. It wasn't obnoxiously sweet and let you notice the different flavors. The main course of chicken made me wonder if I momentarily went to a different restaurant and is the reason why I'm taking off a star. While it had enough of a background maple glaze seasoning the presentation on my plate was actually a bit plain. It almost looked like what I would make at home. The accompanying vegetables were fine, fresh and crispy though.

I have to say after reading all the yelp reviews I had big expectations for this place. I love the idea of only serving things that are in season and the fact that everything was low calorie really enticed me to pick this place for my anniversary. Unfortunately I was extremely underwhelmed. First, for such a busy restaurant there was an extreme lack of seating in the waiting area. I understand that they wanted to maximize their dining space but some outside tables or longer couches would really help. Second, although we explained that we were celebrating a special occasion and didn't mind waiting eventhough we had a reservation we were sat with a private party of 15+ on one side and another birthday party with 8 guest on the other. Our server was obviously overwhelmed and timed our meal terribly. I really can't forgive bad service when the prices are this high. Clearly this restaurant is used to a lot of people so the servers should be used to hanlding a large amount of tables. On to the most important part, the food. I had the honey glazed chicken and it really lacked flavor. The chicken came out dry with over cooked with underseasoned veggies drowned in some type of gravy, and poorly mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had some type of fish which he said had a nice smokey flavor but lacked much else. The highlight of the evening, and really the only bright spot of the night was the dessert. Perfectly sized and nicely prepared with just the right amount of frosting. Interestingly enough desserts are usually the weak point of the meal not the star, but I'm certainly not complaining. All in all I probably wouldn't return or recommend this establishment to anyone. Save yourself the time and effort and find another place to eat.

Easily mine and my boyfriend's FAVORITE place. We always go for the "Flights and Flatbread" special before 6 pm, where you are given a taste of 3 different wines and a flatbread for only 15-20$ a person (depending on which flight of wines you choose). At the end, you get to decide which wine was your favorite and you are served a full glass of that wine. The flatbreads are to die for!! Our favorites are the chicken pesto one and the steak and blue cheese one. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water! Overall, GREAT food, GREAT service, GREAT ambiance. It's a definite MUST TRY.

So today is a special day for my girlfriend and I. I decided to make reservations for this place for tonight at 8. The receptionist was super sweet and took down my information. We showed up thirty minutes early but we were seated immediately. Manny was my waiter and he was sweet. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. They were good but no flavor. My girlfriend ordered the pork tenderloin and asked if the mashed potatoes had the skin on them he answered no but he was wrong. I ordered the cedar plank salmon which was cooked well but my side was just vegetables. I understand the concept of keeping the dinner plates under 452 calories but my food sucked. The food was so unimpressive. I've heard nothing but good things but I hated everything. I was super disappointed. I will not come here again.

First time last time Seasons 52 Coral Gables. Great location and nice ambiance. Miguel the server was inexperienced and brought my dinner during appetizers.. Had to return it so that I could wait for the rest of the party to get their food! Wine was ordered (flight wine ) I had to ask for final glass several times before it was brought... Wine glass empty??? it never occurred to him to refill or ask after several visits to table...Soup asparagus was absolutely awful no taste at all!!!! Bland as hospital food is usually... Not even salt and pepper could fix it! We all had the same soup party of 6... We all had the same conclusion.... We had to ask Miguel several times for bread. Flat bread lobster was good but I could get that anywhere nothing to scream about....definitely not Gables caliber .. Completely disappointed!

I have always loved Seasons 52 and have reviewed them before for their impeccable service, healthy food items, and amazing wine list. But I now, yet AGAIN, feel compelled to write a review as this has to do directly with an event that my friend and I attended last night for Coral Gables Restaurant week. Seasons 52 hosted a private wine tasting and flat bread sampling. This was according to the email i received but we were pleasantly surprised to find that is was waaaaaay more than advertised. The private room was "roomy" with plenty of space to walk around and mingle. 3 stations were set up: a red wine sation, a white wine station, and the food station. The food consisted not only of all their delicious flatbreads (they are becoming almost famous for them) but they also allowed us to sample pork tenderloins and spicy chicken skewers that were absolutely delicious. The food kept coming till the last person left! They also brought out a sample of their mini indulgences towards the end which we were not at all expecting. A very sweet ending to a delicious sampling of very. very good food. The wine stations had 3 wines each for you to sample and then have a full pour of your favorite. They were all exceptional and they did a great job of getting wines that would appeal to wine drinkers at any level. Now comes the part where I share what the REAL treat of the night was... THE SERVICE. Katherine was manning the red wine station. There wasn't a single pour that didn't come with an extensive explanation as to how that particular grape is cultivated, what food to pair it with, etc.. she was so knowledgeable, friendly, and really, really helpful. She didn't seem annoyed when people bombarded her with questions. She displayed pure professionalism the entire time. Dawn at the white wine station was just as great. Always smiling and willing to answer any and all questions pertaining to the white wines. Her station was one of the lonlier ones since as you know, everyone loves a good red - but there she was, patiently waiting and very happy that you stopped by. And then there was Enrique.... ooooooh Enrique! He welcomed all the guests to the event and got things started. He made sure that EVERYONE without exception had some food on their plate and when he saw you struggling with an empty plate on one hand and a glass of wine in another, he made sure to take your plate. There were other servers, and of course, they too were great, but these 3 really stood out and in my opinion, are the reason that Seasons 52 has the reputation it has. These young people are service oriented, professional, friendly, accommodating, and in short, embody what I wish every server would. Keep it up guys and GOOD JOB SEASONS 52 for knowing how to host an awesome event and knowing exactly WHO can get it done!

This is one my favorite places to eat. Almost every item it's healthy and has less than 500 cal. The local is spacious and welcoming. Every single time I walk in there's big groups and plenty of family. The staff is excellent. The wine & cocktail selection is big enough. So far the hummus, the play breads from the appetizers are excellent. The soups are delicious I juts tasted the asparagus and it was delicious. All the salads are great, the trout plate, the vegetarian plate and the fish tacos are a no miss. Then comes the dessert part. They present it in shot glasses, so are small enough not to harm much your diet and there's like 8 options. Price point it's on the expensive but your eating healthy side but you won't go bankrupt either. Try it !

Overall, Season's 52 was a solid experience. My husband and I were looking for a vegetarian restaurant (in addition to my gluten and dairy allergies). Their menu was a little bit inefficient since they have separate menus for gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan. It was a bit overwhelming for me since a majority of the gluten-free menu was non-vegetarian. However, our server quickly found someone who could manage it and make recommendations. We ordered the duo hummus for an appetizer, and I found the texture to be a little rough. We had the warm beet salad, which was good and the vegetarian entree which was good as well and the restaurant accommodated my food allergies greatly in this meal. If you go to the restaurant, i would recommend sitting in the main room or room adjoining to the bar. We were put in an add-on room, which was freezing. I complained several times, and 2 other tables near us complained about how cold it was too.

A really nice restaurant on the mile. I come here every occasion and I really like it. Although today I say I the restaurant part I find it even more enjoyable when you go and sit in the bar area, for its much more livelier. On Fridays they have a piano man here and he's great. The food is great and very well done although I find it a bit pricey. For example, they're sushi rolls are almost 11 dollars, and if you're only going for that it would be better to go to Yuga or Su-Shin. All in all this is a nice place to come after work or with friends to enjoy a nice meal.

Really recommend this place if you're looking for a pleasant meal and a comfortable environment... Go for the lobster flatbread or the scallops, which are amazing. I especially like the Miami Crunchy Tuna Salad, also. It's just laid-back, and the atmosphere adds to the experience.

The food here is excellent. The prices are not bad at all. The food is fresh and the desserts are great. Overall it was an excellent dinner and I would definitely recommend it. We usually go to the one outside Roosevelt Field. It is nice to know that they have this one here when we are visiting Miami.

I gotta say that I am not a fan of chain restaurants but I Love This Place! The desserts are perfect in size and decadent( my fave is the smores!) Service is incredible with all the servers and bartenders being amazing and friendly. I love the flat breads and my husband and I have been slowly trying them all. The entrees are a little pricey but the trick to dining here is to get a couple of their delicious appetizers and maybe share an entree salad ( they are gigantic! Try the salmon one) and if you are still hungry, split an entree. Always try the chef's suggestion. The menu changes according to what's in season and everything is fresh. Lemonade refills are free :)

One of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The type of place you know you can count on for consistently great food and service. Love the ambiance of the restaurant as well. And the fact it's healthy is the cherry on top! Recommend the flatbreads, the scallops, and the mahi tuna crunch salad. And for dessert, love the peanut butter!! Though all are amazing.

Seasons 52 is great for us health conscious folks, as it boasts about its below-475-calorie menu items and oil-controlled entrees. Don't let the "healthy" label fool you though-- everything that I've eaten here has been full of flavor! I also love the fact that the menu changes seasonally. On this particular evening my table began with the Prince Edward Mussels Marinara, which were out of this world. For myself I ordered the mixed greens salad complete with pumpkin seeds (for the fall season :) ) and the Cedar Plank Salmon with broccoli and asparagus. It's normally served with potatoes, but I subbed out that side for double veggies instead. I loved the atmosphere of this location, and it's always great to stroll around Miracle Mile afterwards. Just make sure you make a reservation before you decide to go!

I expected a lot from this place hearing about it from fellow coworkers. I have to say I was unimpressed. I ordered The Greek Salad, a steak flatbread and a Shrimp bruschetta, with the exception of the bruschetta, everything else was either dry or bland. Definitely not giving this place a second chance

I Love this place. Its ambiance is very upscale for a chain restaurant and the food never disappoints take advantage of there changing seasonal menus and dinner is not complete without a mini indulgences. I go with my husband for a quite evening or with the kids for a family dinner. The restaurant is huge noise level average so you really can't disturb anyone. They have live piano music which is usually very good. Cons: Parking in the Gables sucks especially on weekends. The restaurant wait can be up to a hour

I've always said, "if old people fine there, it's good" for some reason there were lots of seniors and my theory was proven yet again. Everything was amazing! This place has such a cozy atmosphere despite being a pretty big restaurant. There was live piano and singing which was very nice. I had the humus with peppers and with mint. It was really good! My daughter ordered a butter nut squash soup which was ah mazing and non- creamy which I love! I do not like being served a big bowl or cup of heavy cream. I tried the rainbow trout which was surprising to me that they had because I have only seen this in Utah and Cali. It was butterflied open and grilled to perfection. It was so so good! My son had bone in lamb covered in Kona coffee and although it's a little hard to get the meat off the bones it's very tasty and well prepared. My daughter opted for the chicken skewers appetizer with apple slaw and it was divine ! They have an great selection on the menu sure to please everyone, even gluten free ! The deserts.., oh the deserts!! At only $2.50 each these little heaven in a cup deserts are just insanely good! You will know what I mean! They are not over bearing and just enough to get your sweet fix and just decadent! Our server was great and super attentive. I'm coming back here more often it's a great place! Oh and it will not break the bank! Considering the quality it's very reasonably priced!

I had always wanted to try this place. I have heard nothing but greatness about this place from my friends. I was very disappointed. We arrived on a Saturday for our 445 reservation. I made one because i was expecting the place to be packed. It was not. It was very empty. Well...i mean it is an odd time to eat. We were seated right away where we requested. We wanted something outside since the day was so nice. It was about 10 minutes before the waiter approached our table. We gave him our appetizer order (the vegan hummus) and our drink order. he came back with my drink about 10 minutes later. we gave him our dinner order since we were ready. About 15 minutes after that, we got our appetizer. it was good. the waiter checked in with us 25 minutes later and took our empty appetizer plate. the hummus was really good. He told us that our food would be out soon. I was getting restless. it had already been a long time. the food came. we ordered the maple glazed chicken which came with vegetables and mashed potatoes, the vegan vegetables and pasta and the final plate was the shrimp cavatappi pasta. none of us liked our dishes. my plate, the maple glazed chicken, was very dry. i hated the taste of the glaze. the potatoes were actually good. the glaze was so overpowering that i couldn't discern the mishmash veggies on my plate. Oh! We had also ordered the crushed mashed potatoes. they were terrible and dry. we ate begrudgingly. the waiter never came by to check on us. our plates were taken away by the hostess. we waited to get our bill from our waiter. we didnt want dessert bc it would have taken forever to get there. we just wanted to get out of there. we were there for a total of 2 hours and a half. i could have driven to orlando and had something from epcot's food and wine festival for that amount of time. Service and food were terrible. Prices are like cheesecake factory prices. Never coming back.

We have been going to Seasons 52 for dinner for years now, and the food/service was so good, that we decided to have our wedding rehearsal dinner here, too! In short, it was absolutely incredible. Our main contact person was Denise, and she was so nice, helpful and responsive. We blocked off a few of the private rooms for the party, which was about 60 people, and everyone had an incredible time. Most importantly, the food was PERFECT! Everyone raved about it - from the salmon, shrimp, pasta, and steak, to the vegetables and flatbread and DESSERT! We will certainly be coming back for dinners and other events. Thank you so much for everything!

Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The only thing holding it back from a 5th star is the food is good but doesn't have a wow factor. I had the rainbow trout...no complaints at all, but it just didn't wow me. I guess that's because this is more of a health conscious restaurant, which is actually fine by me. Btw, most portions are smaller but the trout is one of the biggest items on the menu if you're looking for a filling meal.

The moment you step into the restaurant you feel like you're in NY, in a warm, and inviting environment. The hostess is friendly and tall! The waiter Jesus was pleasant and attentive. I ordered several diffrerent dishes (arugula salad, hummus, roma tomato flatbread, duck and fish tacos). The food was very fresh and I'd recommend everything I ordered minus the korean duck lettuce wraps. It was a little bland. Overall the restaurant was very clean and I agree with all the other yelpers-- flatbread was delicious!!

Went for a birthday dinner and they definitely give a nice touch to the birthday person with a happy birthday card. The ambiance is very nice and all of their food taste really fresh. We started with a flatbread of short ribs and cheddar and it has really good flavors that you would normally not think to put together but very tasty. I had the lump crab wedge for dinner and it was very light and refreshing. I also tasted the Sea Scallops with risotto and it is worth ordering!

Came to the bar for a drink and order a couple of Belvenie 12yrs on the rocks. When we ordered the check each scotch was priced at $31... What a ripoff. The server should have told us it was priced that high. Very disrespectful.

We came just for coffee and desert. Took forever to seat us. Finally they found an empty table by bar( among the many empty ones) . We were seated at a booth and had a man waiter that was basically careless and never bother to take care of us. We told him we came for coffee and desert and he never brought us the desert tray. Also never offered us water . It was very hard to get his attention the whole time we were there even to ask for the check. I know food is nice but this waiter needs to go.

Healthy food that taste this darn good, oh yes I loved this place. I had this place bookmarked but was not rushing to get there figuring hubby would never get full on 475 calories of food. The hostess was very nice and took us to a very comfy booth. Our server greeted us quickly. Really liked the soft wood tones throughout, classy touch. At one point in between dinner I hear music I look up and see a guy playing the spinning piano and singing. Super cool. We started with chicken pesto flatbread and oh was it delicious. The ingredients are so fresh and so was the chicken. I ordered a bottle of Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc which paired perfectly with everything we ate. Great wine from Marlborough, New Zealand. If you choose to order this please appreciate the beautiful bouquet it has, amazing. Sniff & Savor. I ordered the Corvina because the waiter said it was fanatasic. A smooth curry sauce over the top that I did enjoy even though I am not a big fan of curry. The Corvina was light very fresh and had great flavor. Hubby ordered the seared Tuna, wow this was by far the very best seared Tuna I have ever had. Then the adorable little deserts for $2.50, oh geez rocky road was amazing! Service was excellent, loved the ambience, older crowd for sure even a few cougars haning out at the bar ha ha. This place would be a perfect five star for me if they had a better red wine selection especially selections of more Pinot Noir, Burgundy's and Viognier. For the caliber of the service, food and decor step up the wine list would be my suggestion. Can not wait to go back with my daughter she will love it.

I love this place. The whole concept of freshness based on what's in season is truly inspiring. The whole set up, the lighting, decorations, the ambience... It all sets the theme that's for sure. We had a fairly large group, and shared the artichoke flatbread. Great little appetizer for everyone to share although we had to get two. I chose to order the filet mignon with mashed sweet potato and asparagus. I'm telling you.. This was the best cut of meat I have had in a long time. Seasoned with a mushroom sauce, it was not over buttered or over salted like many other places prepare steak, I literally used a butter knife to cut my steak! I also tried the scallops which were delicious as well. For desert they brought out a large tray with many different little cups for us to choose. Although a great idea....I honestly find this unsanitary given they take back the ones you didn't choose and re-serve them to someone else. I enjoyed the smores and the carrot cake. The service was ok.. Although he disappeared for quite some time in the middle of our meal and we needed another bottle of wine, it's important to make sure everyone has a drink when their meal comes. Besides that we had a great time and left feeling content!

I met with my cousin for dinner to catch up and talk some business. Maria, our server, was GREAT ! Congrats on her intuition and quick handling of the fact the wine my cousin was drinking had run out. She quickly bought him an alternate. She gave us space to talk and only came by to check precisely when needed. Kudos to her. The food, the menu, the attention is perfect !!

Any place that offers delicious entrees, ALL at 475 calories or less, plus top notch drinks, an elegant and comfortable ambiance, plus a piano player at the bar is going to get top ratings in my book. This is my favorite place to come in the Gables. The drinks are mixed perfectly. The food is amazing (Rainbow Trout on the menu right now is incredible). And I keep coming back to the pianist at the bar. It just adds a nice touch to the place. Strongly recommend for dates, drinks after work, business dinners.

With a healthy menu, appropriate portions, and delicious tiny desserts, this restaurant is a go too when in the Gables. It has a large seating area and full bar, so waiting for a table is typically not an issue. While its a chain, the food still stands apart and most dishes, if not all, are under 500 calories. What a bonus! The food is simple and clean and the ambiance is still relatively intimate, while the restaurant is large. I have been for lunch and dinner both, each meal pretty good with the flatbreads and steamed veggies as the highlights. Give this place a chance when in a group and looking for a lighter meal accompanied by a delicious glass of wine!

Why not five stars? The place was nearly empty, I had to wait for a table for around 15 minutes, which makes no sense at all when there were perfectly placed tables all around. The lobster flat bread I ordered was cold although it tasted good. And the wild salmon was half the size it should be. It's probably that way so they can keep the calories at the top for the menu. Two stars for: Danielle, the extremely kind waitress and The s'mores dessert paired with the Rioja wine.

Made a Yelp booking for Saturday night. Seated after 5 minutes in a quiet supine room which was perfect for a business and social dinner. We have dined at two other cities in the chain and they are consistent in service and food quality. Have to give them 5 stars!

Last night was my third time visiting and I continue to see myself visiting this wonderful restaurant! It's currently Miami Spice and last night was day one. As always, the service was spectacular and the vibe in the restaurant reminds you of home- super relaxing yet thrilling (because of the food and drinks). The appetizers were delicious but the gem was the filet mignon! I had it well done but it was still juicy and full of flavor- thus the chefs there know how to properly cook meat. And the deserts- wow!! What an amazing experience and I highly recommend this restaurant :)

Charles S.
10 years ago this would have been a five star restaurant. In 2013 it is A-Ok, not because the restaurant isn't good but because there are so many good restaurants in Miami and across the country. The space is lovely, the music nice. The food was pleasant and enjoyable but not a knockout. The service was fine -- except for the server dumping the salad in my dinner companion's lap. The server apologized. The waiter came over and apologized. Then manager came over and apologized and offered free dessert. No thanks. Bottom line is that two weeks later, I really can't remember what I ate.

Great place to have healthy and tasty food. We shared the lobster and mozzarella flatbread to start with and it was very good. The dough is very thin and crunchy. The spicy sauce on top was really good. I wish they would have more lobster (shredded). Then we each had the cedar plank salmon with vegetables and crushed potato (one tiny potato). The salmon was very well cooked, served on the piece of smoked wood, with a mini container of grilled veggies (young carrots, green asparagus, orange beets and the crushed potato). On the side, there is a light creamy dill sauce. It was very good. For dessert, they offer a selection of 10 mini desserts (verrine - served in a shot glass). My friend picked the chocolate smores and it looked delicious. Very healthy lunch with good service. It's a great place!

Best place on The Mile. Amazing flatbreads, fresh salads, super quick service and great ambiance. Love this place for amazing cocktails after shopping or a sophisticated sit- down with friends. Menu changes but everything is fresh and delicious. Their salads are seriously to die for, anything with arugula is amazing. Yum!

Although I've heard and seen Seasons 52 restaurants in other cities, I'd never visited one before. So when I came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pretty impressed right off the bat with the wide variety of vegetarian options -- and the presence of a separate vegetarian menu altogether. The ambiance in the restaurant is very relaxed, with mood lighting and a huge space to work with. The decor is very nice and this could easily be a place for a classy date. I came for lunch with friends and we had the tomato flatbread (pretty good, not overly greasy, good level of basil but I wasn't over the top about this dish), the vegetarian tasting menu (quinoa-citrus salad, soft taco (black beans, roasted peppers, feta cheese, mole poblano, tomatillo salsa), grilled vegetables, cedar-roasted tofu, tropical salsa). I loved everything on the tasting menu except for the cedar roasted tofu and the soft taco (it was good, but not great). Finally, we finished with 3 of their dessert shooters. We split the Belgian Chocolate S'more, Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Honey, and the Pecan Pie with Vanilla Bean Mousse. All were equally rich, flavorful, and balanced. And the portion sizes are just right so you are satisfied with the amount of sweet indulgence without feeling sick from too much sugar. They have many more flavors which I definitely want to go back and try! All in all, I think this was a great find for American food in Miami, and bonus points for vegan and vegetarian options which are few and far between down here.

Overall great experience. Considering what I've read about small portions and everything being under 500 calories, I thought maybe I would've been unsatisfied. But no. It was just right. The Cedar plank salmon is fantastic! Goat cheese ravioli was excellent!! My girlfriends lamb was slightly overcooked but overall the food was very good and very flavorful. The place has a warm feel to it and just a great dining experience. The only downside if there truly was one, was that our server seemed a bit rushed with us. Saturday night and they were very busy.

NPS = 8 Not really a fan of chain restaurants, but this one was great! It was my first time visiting a Seasons 52 and I had an amazing experience. If you pass by this Seasons 52, definitely ask for Daniella! She was the best. I definitely recommend the lobster flat bread (however, since the menu changes so often it might not be on the menu) as an appetizer. The beet salad was fantastic as an appetizer as well. The balsamic vinaigrette it comes with is to die for. The roasted chicken was great and I recommend having it with glass of Mer Soleil chardonnay. Great! For dessert, their selection of shot-glass desserts is great. You get your taste of sweet minus the momentous calories. I tried the chocolate peanut-butter one and my girlfriend had the carrot cake one. Both were wonderful. If in the Coral Gables area, give this place a try.

My mom and I decided to come here for late lunch today . I picked the place based on the concept of having the menu selection with less than 450 calories per plate . I think this is an awesome way to catch people's attention since now days we are all worried about healthy eating and calories lol we ordered the raspberry and the mint lemonade . Super refreshing . Totally recommend it . Both detoxifying drinks in there own way . Chicken Flat bread was delish . I loved the fact that they cook the salmon in a piece of wood , this way it absorbs that woody taste while been cooked in the oven . My favorite parts of restaurants is of course dessert . I appreciate that they were shots not a huge piece . This way you can try them all :)

I actually really like coming to seasons 52. The only place ill sit here is the bar. The dining room is just eerily quiet for my taste, but the bar is always pleasant. The piano player behind the bar adds a lot to the ambiance- though I must say I much prefer the younger player on Mondays and Tuesdays to the older man that plays there the other days of the week. My bartenders have always been quick and attentive, readily offering their suggestions and pouring nice cocktails. The small shaker on the side with nearly a full martini glass of the cocktail extra is a real treat. The food doesn't daaaazzzle me here, but for a restaurant I've been frequenting more often- I don't want a huge heavy meal and a high check. The portions are perfect. I recently had the steak salad, chicken skewers, and pork tenderloin. I would order each one again. The chicken skewer app was surprisingly large and the price point was totally agreeable. The beets with wasabi dip were seriously underwhelming though. They could benefit from an orange or honey glaze- and I'm a beet lover! I cannot come here without ordering one of their small delicious desserts. I love the rocky road and carrot cake. Overall seasons 52 consistently delivers.

Went with some friends. It was my first time but definitely not my last. Everything was delish I had the scallops risotto with caramelized Brussels sprouts, lobster flat bread, and rasp cannoli shot for dessert. Did I mention TWO hawian pineapple cosmos mmmmm.

Seasons 52 holds a special place in my yelp-heart. Very private elegant and tasty dinner restaurant in the heart of coral gables (Miracle Mile). They have seasonal menus, meaning the food is always fresh and authentic. I would definitely recommend anyone to try to flatbreads, so delicious. Service is fine although on busy nights you may have to wait 15 min before your table is ready. The Jazz piano guy by the bar is a great addition. Would recommend.

Deirdre F.
This place was amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious. The freshness of the food was defiantly a delight. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The server knew the menu and the specials very well. That must be hard since the menu changes weekly. Josh our server was very helpful when it came to picking out a sweet red wine. I will defiantly be back and also trying the location when I'm in NY as well.

Luis P.
The restaurant is nice. The food is good. But the only bad thing was the service. The server was nice and seemed concerned but it took 40 minutes to get him to come back and ask for desert. Once he was gone he was gone. We were not in a hurry so it wasn't a big deal but it was a little annoying to just seat there and wait around. The food was good, we did however just order appetizers and drink drinks. The flatbreads are great and warm caprese salad is awesome. The entrees did not seem impressive so we just ordered a fee appetizers. I think we made the right choice. Anyhow, this place is great for drinks and appetizers... I wouldn't do full on dinner here though.

My wife and I have been here numerous times before. We enjoy the ambiance, and the great service. I usually get the sea scallops which are usually amazing (and their best dish in my opinion) but today I wanted to try something different so I got the venison. I was willing to pay extra because I realize it comes from New Zealand, but I was disappointed in the dish. First the portions were ridiculously small (I get the low calorie part of the menu but you should price the item based on value). It was a SINGLE solitary chop with very little meat on it. To make matters worse it lacked flavor. The garnish, sweet potato mashed, also lacked flavor. How hard is it to screw up one of the most delicious meats and sweet potatoes? The lamb chop looked like a larger quantity of food, obviously I'm not sure how it tastes but it looked ok.
Excellent service and food. The flat bread, salmon and scallops are perfection. Good drinks as well. Yes!

Celebrated a birthday there in a group. The food was great, the drinks mixed by a master, and the service was great....until we got the check and decided to stick around and chat since it seemed to be a slow night and we had just dropped almost Five hundred dollars to include a 20% tip. Our waiter "Michael" inexplicably disengaged never asking if anyone in a group of 8 wanted more water. After yakking away for over an hour we all left parched and thirsty, hence 3 stars instead of 5.

Highly recommend you check out this restaurant. A group of us went there yesterday for a friend's birthday lunch and the experience was great! In addition to fresh, delicious food, they took a group shot of us, printed the photo and gave it to us in a nice folder, as a memento, plus the birthday celebrant received a card. They REALLY care about their service. And with large groups, they give you an itemizes tab, with each person's individual orders separated as a subtotal, making it much easier to collect from each diner. If you have a group of friends or colleagues, you MUST check Seasons 52 out!

be sure you verify the amount you signed for on your credit card as i have had to dispute fraudulent charges twice by disgruntled employees who are slick! other than that, the atmosphere, food, and pricing are excellent.

Delicious and the service was spot on. Each plate under 475 calories, but perfectly proportioned. Price for a nice lunch is really good. Had the spicy chicken stuffed pepper and it was amazing (this may change since the menu is always changing). I am definitely going back, and soon.

I'm a HUGE fan. Have been here for dinner about four times already. The flatbreads are amazing. Mediterranean Shrimp Salad was awesome. Their scallops...to die for! I mostly come back for the Lake Sonoma Cabernet and entertainment of John Shack, piano player extraordinaire. Skip even making a reservation, and scope out the bar area, which is first come first serve and even has booth tables. Try to out-drink Sophia, and enjoy some eye-candy with Dan's hotness. Overall, great ambiance, great food, great people serving it...it doesn't get any better than this, people!

I agree with another poster here, the food is very healthy but if your hungry this is not the place to eat. Very small portions, but if your on a diet it works. If your hungry goto Houstons. Oh ya "killer service" ......lol

I wrote a review a long time ago, describing Seasons 52 as the best birthday experience I could have ever asked for. However, that was until we celebrated my husband's birthday there this past Friday night...this was even better!!! We sat in the piano bar/lounge since it's a more laid back atmosphere over there and we love live music. We had John the piano player last time on my birthday, and we were so excited to see him again! We COULD NOT believe that he instantly remembered our wedding song. As soon as we said hi to him, he greeted us back with the song and I almost cried! Everyone loved his energy and music selection! At the end of the night, he came around the bar and said hello to us, remembering our names! Unbelievable! Sarah and Jesus were so quick with the drinks and the food was delicious as always. The whole evening couldn't have been more perfect for my husband's birthday. Thank you again Seasons 52...nothing short of great. Stephanie

I went Seasons 52 with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The flatbread was really good...especially the flatbread one. But the most amazing of all that we tried was the vegetable platter. The flavor combinations were great.. I would definitely recommend the place especially to people looking for good vegetarian food.

I just have to say that this place is amazing and I have been taking all my friends there. Sometimes we have to wait a little to long, but it is all worthy. The best addition for downtown Coral Gables.

Love the ambiance...the wide walk in doorway and the FLATBREAD! Crunchy just like I like it...And this may sound strange but I like the feel of the tables...smooth...and the just right height for dining pleasure...not too low with the chin on the table syndrome...seats comfy and even the barstools amenable for foot comfort...service wonderful...Houston's look out!

Great prices and great service. The wine list is pretty decent and nicely priced. The food is healthy and pretty tasty. The goat cheese ravioli was my favorite item on the menu. Check out their desserts, they are pretty good.

This was an enjoyable dining experience. The concept of the resturant is that everything on the menu is supposed to be under 475 calories and the menu changes according to the seasons. Ordered all of the flatbreads in the appetizer section and also the raw tuna, I was quite satisfied with the taste of the food for being supposedly healthy. For my main entree, I ordered the Mayan Cobia, fish native to the Florida waters which was very tasty. Fish was light and flaky with good flavors. I didnt understand teh srilachi in the sauce though but it was good. For desert, i had the Pumpkin Pie with Gingerbread crust. Our party also ordered a red wine which was delicious. Funny since we're drinking CA wine in FL. I would definetly recommend this place. The only thing I would advise is to find parking somewhere as we ended up spending over $8.00 just on the meters outside.

Good value for money. Excellent service. Flat bread appetizer hit the spot. Salmon was prepared just right. Side vegtables very tasty. Nice concept on having mini-desserts and worth the $2.50 charge. Suggest making a reservation on weekend.

Oh how I was hoping I was going to like this place. While searching for a restaurant on yelp, I stumbled upon seasons 52 and noticed it had just opened. We decided to try it out. The restaurant looks beautiful inside and out, including a beautiful bar. The service is also pretty attentive. However, if you are looking for great food, this is not the place. After looking at the menu, neither of us found anything that really called our attention. Then we noticed it, the small disclaimer at the top of the menu. "all items on menu are under 500 calories." Here we go. We ordered a chicken flatbread which was probably the highlight of the meal. We then ordered the stuffed mushrooms as I am usually a huge fan of these, but I was very disappointed. Not only were they were tasteless, but they were burning in temperature. Then for the main course I really couldn't decide but opted for the scallops. The scallops themselves were ok, however the asparagus and the round pasta were not tasty. The spicy chile relleno was not bad but overall I would not go back to this place unless for only drinks. In my opinion, the menu should have more options even if it needs to stay on the healthy side.

Went for lunch with my sister and 2 year old son. The restaurant is nice but I was a little disappointed when I was told that there were no more high chairs, as they do not have that many. We were given a booth to somehow compensate for the high chair situation. When I asked for a children's menu or at least children options, they did not have any. The food was good but not very child friendly. I would rather have lunch at Houston's.

We went to this place two weeks ago and it was really good from start to finish. My only complaint is that it's VERY loud. We were in a booth and I can only imagine how it would have been out at an open table. Our waiter, Marco, was excellent and very professional. He kept his eye on us without hovering, knew everything about everything on the menu and was efficient. The kitchen was pushing food out quickly so we got our entree before finishing the salads but it wasn't terrible. My choice was the pork tenderloin, which was perfectly cooked and moist. The flatbreads were delish, the wine list was good and the little desserts are the perfect end to a good meal. This past weekend, we went to a Seasons 52 in Central Florida and had another excellent experience. I ordered the salmon this time and it was so mild and tasty. My dinner mates had trout and said it was perfectly cooked. Though the place was packed, it was less noisy as the piano person's music was toned down. We'll definitely return to any Seasons 52 anywhere.

I was happy to hear that Seasons 52 was opening in Coral Gables and looked forward to going there. I love their concept; however, I don't know if the execution always meets my expectations. I have been there for lunch twice and both times, the service was very good and attentive. Atmosphere is muted, with lots of dark wood. The bar seemed to be popular with tables outside. Where I think this restaurant misses getting 5 stars is the food; it's good but not great. I had the vegetable soup that was ok, but the bowl was only half-full; I suppose it's to keep the calorie count down. Other lunch items I had were the chicken caesar sandwich on pita with a side salad and the barbeque chicken salad. In both cases the chicken was very tender and of high quality. Salads were nice with high quality ingredients. But there was nothing special or savory about the dishes and their flavors. Good, but not great. Coffee and desserts were very good.

I have been to Season's 52 quite a few times in the past, but never this location. It worked out quite well because we had just attended Yelp's 10 year anniversary event at the Coral Gables Museum just a block up. We chose to dine here because both Erick and I are on a 30 day clean eating plan and as delectable as the items looked at our event, I just couldn't eat any of it. :-( We walked in and were able to be seated right away. Our server greeted us and took our drink orders. For the appetizer Erick ordered a cup of the white chicken chili soup and the bacon and blue cheese flat bread. Our appetizers arrived fairly quickly. I tasted a bite if Erick's soup and it was very good! I only had one bite because I have to watch my sodium intake during these 30 days. I sampled a bite of the flatbread and it was quite delicious and the flavors blended very well together. For my entree I was between the roasted chicken or the scallops with corn risotto. Guilted by my conscience and carb intake, I went with the chicken. The portion was very generous and had a lot of meat. It was accompanied by tomatoes and bits of ciabatta crouton. The croutons and tomatoes were drizzled with balsamic vinegar which is diet approved. The chicken was so meaty and full of so much flavor and very generously portioned and accompanied with the sides it made for the perfect healthy meal. We had to skip on the desserts for obvious reasons, but the s'mores dessert shot was calling my name and I made a mental note for my next visit.

Hosted our office holiday lunch on 12/18 for the fourth year in a row. This year the group was bigger (22) and the service was even better. Everything was on point, no delays, no hiccups. Food and drinks were served quickly and on point...our staff was happy and so was I. The names of our waitresses slip my mind but they deserve kudos and recognition. Thank u to Seasons 52 and we will see u next year again.

Overall not bad....I had the ahà tuna, pretty good. The mer soleil wine was divine best wine I had in my life and I have had quite a few.the seabass was sadly disappointing... My expectations were so high but crush.over cooked way to citrusy for my taste,but the wine made up for half of the meal.I would recommend this probably only for their drinks and appetizers

Look, we really like this place especially for Friday night happy hour. One of the things I like the most is the piano player. Live entertainment. It's really awesome. I just learned tonight this is being eliminated. I am really disappointed. It is a distinguishing feature of this place. It really adds atmosphere. Darden, please don't do this.

I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was excellent. I read many great reviews about the food being low in calories so decided to try it. We had the ravioli appetizer which was very delicious. My entree was the steak flatbread, a must try. For my dessert I had the mini s'mores cake super yummy. Everything was great but the best part is leaving dinner content but without leaving super stuffed. It's the perfect meal. A must try in the mile!

Service: Amazing service. Our waiter was first very understanding when we decided to change tables. He then gave us excellent recommendations and really knew the menu as well. He was very attentive, but not on the verge of annoying. It was my friend's birthday, and they brought out the cake with candles lit without me having to ask them to. When only one of our friends ordered the curry soup, he gave the rest of us samples to try. I cannot recommend this guy enough! Drinks: If you buy their cocktails they will serve it to you with the shaker, so really you're paying for 2 drinks worth. I got their pomegranate margarita which I would recommend to those who like sweet yet strong drinks. Food: First, we got their signature tomato flatbread. One is enough to feed 4 people and it alone can serve as a meal. I also got the scallops with asparagus. Delicious. Dessert: You have a choice to pick one of their mini indulgences and for the b-day girl a choice of 2. They were all very delicious but I would recommend the pecan and mocha chocolate. I will definitely be coming back to this place. This place offers 4 seasonal varieties and changes their menu each week. In addition, everything is under 475 calories! Can't wait to see what else they offer.

Visited the Miami location and can honestly say, this is the type of restaurant I was looking for, Tyler was our waiter he was very attentive and had a great sense of humor! He recommended a few items and they were all delicious! We did the wine flights and they were all really good, I preferred the Oaky Merlot, along with the roasted tomatoes flat bread, filet mignon, and triple chocolate rocky road and mocha desserts! I am hoping the location here in LA is just as good, can't wait to go back!

Need reservations but the food, drinks and service are excellent! The trout was delicious and moist, the carrots and potatoes were not over-cooked and mushy, the crab lump salad has just the right mix of salad dressing and ingredients, and the mini-desserts are delicious yet just the right size. Service: excellent (a rarity for large Miami restaurants) ... attentive, cordial, eager to be of service! A definite "repeat" over and over ...

It was a long overdue girls' night out. We started with the artichoke and goat cheese flatbread and a couple bottles of wine sitting at the outside sidewalk tables. After an hour of catching up on the "cheez" and a little people watching, we moved inside for dinner. I had the salmon with a sweet glaze and it was simply amazing. Then we shared the mini desserts. Awesome food and excellent service! Plus so much better when shared with good friends, lots of laughter and too much wine. :)

This location is excellent! My husband and I recently celebrated our tenth anniversary here. The food and service were perfect. Also, when I made a reservation, they asked if this was for a special occasion and I told them. The restaurant treated us to glasses of champagne and free dessert! Talk about knowing how to make an impression so customers come back -- my husband is already asking when we should go again! If you can, ask for Shawn as your waiter. He has that perfect balance of being attentive without being in our faces!

YOU MUST GO TO SEASONS 52 FOR LUNCH DURING CORAL GABLES RESTAURANT WEEK (ENDS ON JUNE 30TH) My boyfriend and I had the best lunch at Seasons 52 today. We visited Seasons 52 for Coral Gables Restaurant Week. During Coral Gables Restaurant Week (which ends on June 30th), they have a three course menu for a really cheap price. $15 for selected appetizer, lunch, and dessert!!! I ordered Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread for an appetizer, Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno for a main course, and Mini Indulgences for a dessert. My boyfriend ordered Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli, Blackened Fish Tacos, and Mini Indulgences. We assumed the portions would be smaller since the price was really cheap so we added Ahi Tuna Tartare as another appetizer. It turned out that the size of the portions remained the same (which is the perfect size - not too big, not too smalll - each dish contains under 500 calories). Ahi Tuna Tartare was AMAZING. I generally don't like raw fish but I had to try this one because of the way they displayed the food, so beautiful. It's a little pricey - $12 for 3 tunas. But that probably means they used real fish instead of fake ones like a lot of cheap sushi restaurants do. Seasons 52's flatbreads are amazing - Ripe Plum Tomato was perfect for appetizer. It looks like it's big because it's so wide but the crust is so thin that you don't get too full unlike a lot of restaurants who offer so much food/calories for appetizer. Our main course - Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno and Blackened Fish Tacos were great too. Blackened Fish Tacos was nothing special, just like any other taco fish you see at any other restaurants, but healthier at Seasons 52. Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno was so amazing! YUM YUM YUM!! Like the name says it's spicy chicken chile relleno, but inside of a green pepper with mozzarella cheese on top! The size was perfect too! Everything fit inside of a green pepper. Seasons 52's famous dessert - mini indulgences - never fail to disappoint me. With 8 different kinds of desserts, you can pick the flavor you like the most. I had always liked Seasons 52 but today, this restaurant became my favorite. Healthy, a lot of choices, and cheap price!! Can it get any better? I calculated the calories of all the foods I consumed at Seasons 52 today. It turns out to be around 1070 calories - which is pretty good for a three course menu!!

Did the Chef's Tasting Table Menu. The Ft. Lauderdale location does not do it so we had to drive south for it. There is a separate semi private room they hold it in. (SEE PHOTOS) As expected, it was a wonderful experience. The rate was $79.00 per person (without the wine pairing). We brought our own wine($14.00 corkage fee) The meal is set up with an amuse bouche to start which is brought out by the chef and where he introduces himself. It is then followed by appetizers and 4 courses after that ending with their mini indulgences desserts. This was our lineup: AMUSE BOUCHE: seared scallop ceviche (refreshing and delicious) APPETIZERS:chipotle shrimp flatbread/artichoke & goat cheese flatbread/ seared tuna with ginger relish. The tuna was perfect and it had a side of cucumber salad and wasabi which was really good! Both flatbreads were good but the shrimp one was a tad better. FIRST COURSE:cedar plank roasted salmon & scallops. Probably the only big fault of the night was that the salmon was a bit overcooked but it was all very good. SECOND COURSE: organic arugula beet salad with goat cheese, cranberries and pistachios.They forgot the pistachios but otherwise was fantastic. THIRD COURSE: Sonoma goat cheese ravioli. Completely different than any I have ever had. It was very light with a tomato broth under it all. FOURTH COURSE: Mesquite grilled surf & turf. Lamb t bone and artichoke stuffed shrimp with yukon gold truffle mashed and red wine sauce. Divine. Too bad I was already SO full to finish it. They then brought out a tower of their mini desserts. We started to pick from them but we were told the entire thing was for us. Wow. It was about 3-4 per person. I have never had more than 2 during a visit. When we whined (I blame it on the a-a-a-a-alcohol) about the healthy looking fruit one he happily obliged to bring out other ones to replace it with. They even whipped up new pecan ones for us. Needless to say, service was top notch the entire night! And we are a tough crowd to please. Well, at least, I am. Our waiter and servers were all great and added to the great experience. If I had to change anything at all it would be the background music. Apparently all Seasons 52's have a singer/pianist and although they have all been good, they have not been good enough to last the 4 hours we were there (or have been in the past). Only acceptable in small doses.It becomes a bit much and starts to become annoying. We only realized towards the last 1/2 hour that there is a volume control in the semi private room which we could have shut off. Oh well, live and learn. It happened recently while dining in the Ft. Lauderdale location as well. I initially it must have been kareoke. Ooops. Luckily we were so loud ourselves that we were mostly distracted from it. Overall a wonderful experience I would love to have once again. I think it was priced well and worth every penny. Great job Seasons 52!

I thought the food was yummy. Well presented and very well portion. I had the lobster bisque and OMG extremely well made. My girlfriend had the oak grilled filet. I had the seasonal grilled salmon. Both very tasty very well made :) the dessert presentation was excellent and we tried 4 of them. My favorite by far was the mochiato dessert. The service was great. The servers are trained well and serve the food with care and never crossed there arms or bodies between me and my girlfriend. The price point was good as well... Her and I paid 120 with tip and we had drinks as well. The atmosphere was buzzing and jumping for a Thursday the room had great energy. Go there and go often it was excellent

Seasons 52 is an amazing restaurant! Let me convince you to go there..now! 1. The atmosphere: The second you walk into Seasons you are immediately relaxed by the very cool looking fireplace by the door. The booths are so comfortable and you can really make it a dress up night or come casual. You will fit in either way! It is also fun to sit near the kitchen and you can see them cooking some of the food. 2. Service: The service is excellent. The waitstaff is always very friendly and helpful. The wait for food can sometimes be a bit long as it is crowded, but it is so delicious it is worth it! 3. Menu: They have an absolutely creative menu that offers superb options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The menu changes based on the seasons so I feel like there is always something added when I visit. 4. Food: The vegetable soup is so fresh tasting with tons of hearty vegetables. The salads are on the smaller side, but are full of the best seasonal ingredients. I have never had more perfectly grilled and seasoned veggies in my life! The flatbreads are super tasty and not greasy at all. They are light and tasty. You can't forget the desserts! Oh my goodness! The desserts are in these little cups so you can give everything a taste. They are all so delicious that I can never choose just one! Between mousses, lime cake, and lots of chocolate, everyone will find something he or she truly enjoys! The lime has the perfect amount of tangy and sweetness, the mousse is perfectly fluffy, and the chocolate is delectable and creamy. This restaurant is the perfect combination of healthy, delicious, and fresh. It is surely a top Miami restaurant choice!

Great food for a great price. Had the pesto chicken flatbread, cheese ravioli, and a key lime pie mini for dessert. Delicious! Only thing I would change would be the raspberry lemonade that I had. It was not very good. Other than that, great food and the service was great also.

I went to Seasons 52 after it was recommended to me by several people. Arrived 10/9/14 with a colleague about 7:30pm and was promptly seated. We ordered the Quail and the pork loin entrees. The quail was so tough you could have throw it through a bank window and then used the pork loin to pry the drawer open to steal the tellers money. Terrible! On the good side, the service was exceptional, it's too bad we went there for the food. Perhaps the chefs were just having a bad night. Never again!

Ariadna P.
The food was delicious ! I had a filet mignon with mashed potatoes, asparagus glazed with a red wine sauce. The desserts come in small glasses, they all look delicious! And they also have the option of fresh fruit as a dessert. I was not too happy with the service though, the waitress was very helpful with the menu options but they did not bring us any water and one of our forks had a chunk of food on it which is unacceptable, especially since this restaurant is somewhat pricey. This wasn't enough to say I would never go back, it definitely did not ruin my experience. I loved loved loved the food! So I will definitely be going back! Hopefully soon!!

Having dinner at Seasons 52 was an absolute delight! Exceptional service from the minute we walked through the door. I made a reservation using "open table" on yelp. I recommend this 100% especially on a busy Friday or Saturday night. The wine selection was great! If you're a fan of Pinot Gris, I suggest "King Estate"-it was amazing. On to the good stuff: FOOD! First off, every item on the menu is under 475 calories! Now don't let that fool you or turn you off, the choices are excellent!!! Recommendations: You mustmustmust have a flatbread. Any type of flatbread. My favorite is the steak, mushroom, spinach, and blue cheese flatbread. If you want something tropical try the ceviche. Shrimp, scallop, coconut, red onion, pineapple, and jalapeño! Oh my! Soo good!! Shrimp with lemon basil sauce and veggies was AMAZING!!!! I will definitely be getting this dish again. Mini indulgences desserts are absolutely amazing. Red velvet was my favorite!!! Great decor, food, drinks, and service! What else can you ask for???

This is by far my favorite restaurant. My hubby and I had a great time. It was the perfect blend between casual and romantic. We had the Cuban Pita and my Hubby had a filet mignon, I had pork and everything was just to die for. We also had a bottle of wine which was delicious! The best part is that if you are on a diet every plate is under 475 calories. Who can beat that. Did I mention how great our waiter was?

Awhile ago I walked by this place while I was on a Random walk and said to myself " this place looks very nice only just walking by. Well two months later I end up Meeting a server there whose name is Sonia. She is a bartender / server. She told me all about this place and really made me want to come and really check it out. So I decided to take the trip to check it out! Have not been disappointed yet. The Tuna & avocado roll was simple but nothing shy of perfect. The flavors, textures, the way the rice was cooked, and the nori paper instead of traditional nori. The sous chef came out and talked to me for a few brief moments. Its been a great lunch experience so far! You watch the servers pass by they are all smiling the line is working fast and communicating like a well run kitchen should. The burger just came to the table. Presentation was very unique, tiered plates. It added a very cool look. Something I might try to replicate at my job. The burger was cooked perfect and tasted amazing! (the buffalo burger) with a side of brussel sprouts, although I like them caramelized, were cooked through but needed just a hint of salt to bring out the flavors in them. All and all it's a great place! Keep up the great work Season!!! I will be back!

I have never left a restaurant in such a foul mood before. Let me start off by saying this is not a review about the food. The food is fine: not crazy great, not awful. The service however? Left the worst taste in my mouth (pun intended). We had reservations for 8:30. We get there at 8:15. No one says: your table is being set, please be patient. And usually when you're 15 minutes early, a well-run restaurant can still seat you. 15 minutes later, I'm dogging the host for seating four tables before us (granted they were there before us) and a table who walked in after us. Finally, PAST our reservation time, a hostess walks up and apologizes for the delay and our table will be ready shortly. And then 20 minutes after we've walked in, we're finally seated next to five empty tables. Thanks a lot Seasons 52. Orders are taken, it's our first time dining here. We get our drinks and lobster flatbread quickly. FYI: that was not enough lobster on a $15 dish. We get a quick howwastheflatbread and we answer with the required fine. And then we don't see our waitress or any food for another hour. ONE HOUR, our dirty app dish still in front of us and empty water (and drink) glasses later, the runner comes with three out of four dishes. I have to not only tell him one of the dishes is wrong (shrimp risotto instead of shrimp pasta), but one of us is missing our dish.. I fear for the runner because I sound like I'm about to rip his head off. After the rest of my party has eaten half of their meal, the waitress finally shows up with my missing entree, mumbles a sorry and then runs off. Ever heard of asking how we're doing? Maybe getting us another drink or refilling our water? Possibly comping us for completely forgetting to include our missing dish? Nope. By the time we finish, we don't even bother with the lauded mini desserts. It takes forever to flag our waitress to get the check (unsurprising), leaving cash because using a card would probably have taken another good half hour. Is hanger clouding my decision? Sadly, no. Let me end by saying, it WAS Christmas Eve. But despite how busy or understaffed you are, management should teach you to check in with your guests with a smile and explanation of the delay (and refill of drinks). The only saving grace about this atrocious service is that the runner stopped by to make sure we received our missing dish; that probably had nothing to do with Seasons 52 management, but just plain ol' good manners.

Not a fan. First of all, we sat at our table for 15-20 minutes before a server came to our table. Before someone even brought over water. No one even took our drink order, i had to finally call someone over to order a bottle of wine. And why have a gluten free menu if your not going to take it seriously. 7 of us went for dinner, 2 of us have to eat gluten free. But when the food came, no one knew which dishes were actually the gluten free ones! Needless to say, I left very sick.... I also thought the salmon i had was mediocre at best. At the end, the server was even rushing us out so they could re-sit the table! -disappointed

My flatbread was a good size and very tasty but the service was poor. I asked for garlic and never received it and we had to go to the bar for refills on our soda. It an average restaurant with average food and poor service which isn't justified since it wasn't busy for lunch.

Since every option on the menu is under 475, I knew coming in that I wasn't going to find anything worthy of a grown man's appetite. I had to settle for a Piedmontese Sirloin Steak. What that translates to is buffalo steak. It's very lean with nothing in the way of fat to help with the flavor profile. It was definitely a stark contrast to my previous night's meal of a bone-in ribeye at Fleming's. But, if you're having dinner with a bunch of your girls, then you are going to love this place! Seriously, how can you go wrong with so many low calorie options? I think I drank more calories here than I ate. For a man, I can't recommend this place to you at all. I'd much rather have a meal at a steakhouse, Hillstone, or even a Cuban restaurant. But if you're with someone that's calorie-conscious and you still want to have a night out at an upscale venue, then I can't think of a better option than Seasons 52. The bar is nicely appointed with a piano player serving as your nightly entertainment and there are half a dozen or so tables on the patio if people watching is your thing. Steak is my thing...

Went last night for a bite with hubby. We decided to sit outside the bar on the sidewalk, it was a bit dark inside for my tastes. Our server, Joel S. Was fantastic, very personable, knowledgeable and thorough. We started with the proscuitto and cheese flatbread, excellent, and the ahi tartar, better than excellent. Then we ordered the scallops with asparagus and risotto and the steak fillet cooked rare+. Both were very tasty and filling. We finished the meal with three of the tasty sampler desserts, the best being the key lime pie. Overall a great dining experience and particularly liked the piano player, he sang well, low key and familiar songs. We will definitely come back next time we visit Miami.

Really great restaurant. This was my first time with my wife and a friend. The atmosphere was very nice, went during lunch (1:45pm). it's pretty big, and it's just a beautiful spot in the middle of Coral Gables Miracle Mile. Our server Andrew was super, he gave us a sample of one of the desserts to try which was very tasty, not filling or too sweet. I had the flatbread pesto chicken, very well cooked and nice presentation (took pictures). Wife had the maple glazed chicken which is a pretty big portion but she liked it. For appetizer we had the chicken skewers which were well cooked, almost fell off the skewer they were so tender and juicy. The lemonade is awesome, handmade, very fresh, again not very sweet. Most lemonades leave me wanting to drink a big cup of water after because of the sugar. Thanks Seasons 52, we will be back :) P.S. The dessert was awesome!

Had such a great experience last night at Seasons 52 and couldn't wait to YELP about it! Made a reservation on Opentable an hour prior which was very helpful to not have to wait more than 5 min. once we arrived. We sat at the bar and watched the piano player and ordered some delicious martinis. I love the dark chocolate espresso one!! Also, you really get 2 for the price of 1, so don't let the $13 price scare you off. For dinner we tried several different flatbreads, organic salads, corn soup, and the salmon dinner. All were excellent. We can't wait to return!!!

Discovered this place by accident. We have been back multiple times. Love the food. Many healthy options. Flatbreads are wonderful. Good service every time. Great decor. The wood fire grill makes the place smell awesome. Leave room for dessert.

Flat Breads - Good Entrees - Okay Desserts - Great yelp.com/biz_photos/iu0n… Cool concept that everything is under 475 calories. The desserts cheat with their tiny portions.

I guess its a good thing that everything on their menu is LESS THAN 475 CALORIES. But I found myself leaving there consuming MORE THAN 1400 :( Yelpers recommended the flat bread so I ordered the steak and cremini mushroom and it was good (see uploaded photo). While waiting for my main dish to come out I ended up ordering a second one from their weekly special menu. It was a mushroom, goat cheese with truffle oil and it was amazing (see uploaded photo). My hunger would of been satisfied with both flat bread but my spicy chicken chile relleno came out (see photo uploaded). It gave me a hard look so I had to finish it off :D. The dish was not as good as the flat bread. They have miniature desserts that they brought over but I had to pass on it. Writing this review during lunch hour is making me crave for the flat breads.

Portions are small, super expensive, food tasted like nothing, hostess are rude, this was the only place during the Miracle Mile Carnival not allowing the use of the restrooms now this shows the kind of management they have I will never go here.

So I am not a calorie counter by any means, but this is a great place for those that are. Be warned, just because every dish is less X calories, does not mean you can order twice as many appetizers or desserts as you normally...especially the desserts! (Desserts come in tiny little cups and are oh so pretty and sound so delicious. And they are! But every time I go me and my friends just say.."1 of each", which really defeats the purpose of seasons 52! hahaha flat bread is highly recommended. Pretty yummy and one of the highlights of the meal. There is something to be said about a dish that has an extra X calories because they used more butter or cream, but considering the health factor, the dishes are pretty good! Additionally, the restaurant itself looks very nice and upscale, without influencing the prices!

I booked for a graduation dinner here since it's one of the few kitchens that opened until 11PM. My party was running late. I called ahead and they were gracious enough to wait for us! Our waiters were pleasant and chatty. We were seated quickly and well taken care of! The food came out in a timely manner. My party ordered almost everything on the menu, so I can confidently say we enjoyed our meals! Flatbreads were a nice and light starter. Loved the veal and scallops. The filet was excellent. And of course...dessert was amazing! Even my grandparents (traditional Chinese folk) were complimented their cooking and portions. Of all restaurants, Seasons 52 does an excellent job in getting all three courses in! I am definitely looking forward to having dinner here again! Thank you Seasons 52 for taking such good care of us!

This place leaves a lot to be desired. The hostess sat us by a large party with screaming children even though there were many other tables available. The restaurant wasn't very busy but the waiter took over 10 minutes to come out and ask for our drink order. I ordered my steak medium but it came out well done. I don't expect the service nor the food to be 5 stars at this place but I expected better than what we received. I will not be returning.

I'm undecided on whether this place should be two or three stars - between "Meh and A-OK." I liked the service and the concept. The vibe is nice in a formal-casual chain-restaurant type of way. But I can't really give this place a higher rating since the food is on the bland side and the portions are on the small side for the price. And as for the food, the only thing I could really recommend to date after coming here two times is the flatbread that is served here. And maybe also the drinks. For other things, I'd much rather walk to its less-healthy, but more scrumptious tasting sister restaurant, Houston's/Hillstone, farther down the Mile. I can't say I'd return, but if someone I know wants to be back here, I wouldn't throw a fit.

Health conscious? Then why or why did I have gastric distress both visits to this way over priced place? Sat down with a date, ordered a shrimp cocktail, awful small, warm shrimp and poor service to boot. I have tried the bar several times, I do like the piano player of Wednesdays and Thursdays, but now I am tiered of getting ripped off with the wine offerings and pricing. Imagine, they tout their fine wine offerings, by their resident expert, bull, he is no expert except in fattening the bottom line, not many, if any decent wines. As you can read, I am not impressed with other reviews, just telling it like is. You would do yourself a favor by going a little ways further to Prime, just down the road.

One of my favorite places in Miami. I go almost every week and service is always great (very rare in Miami even in the best restaurants). Food is very well thought and the mini indulgences are a perfect way to end a meal. At the bar, Jesus and Sarah always makes us feel at home - The piano is just a big plus for me.

I came here for lunch last week and i absolutely loved my experience here. I have been anticipating trying this place and finally had the opportunity to come during my lunch break and try it. Let me go on by saying that at any time of day this place is always packed. we thought we were not going to be able to get a seat quickly but the hostess was very accomodating and got us to a table quickly. The waitress was very friendly and explained everything in the menu very well. We opted to get the flatbreads which were both very good. I got the steak and mushroom one which was great, although i would have liked for it to have some sauce or something on it for a little extra flavor. The mini desserts are also really good if you want something sweet but dont want to over indulge yourself. I havent been here for dinner, but when i do ill make sure to update my review.

Since I was in town, my boyfriend's parents decided to have another date night with us (dinner) before i go home. Yay! Actually it was not too bad. Atmosphere is okay, good for having a romantic dinner. Got to sit near the kitchen and was watching the cooks prepare the food. Cool. Menu is not much, one page including the specials, the back are alcoholic drinks. Price on the other hand is a little steep but it is semi fancy restaurant so it is a given. The food is pretty good. Smaller servings (depending on meals) but gives you a full tummy. Our server was semi attentive but also forgetful at most times. She brought 2 iced teas instead of one and forgot the water. She said she was going to bring it but never did until asked twice. She also had to ask twice (make sure) on what we ordered. The lump of crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms appetizer was definitely great. Perfect for a couple pairing or if you're really hungry just for you. Shrimp ceviche (i believe) just like the stuffed mushrooms it was in small quantity. Anyway the bf and his parents seem to enjoy it but it wasn't the greatest ceviche out there. The main entree grilled chicken with tamarind sauce, broccoli, and mashed sweet potato (mine) was very good. It was the perfect proportion. I actually thought I wouldn't love the sweet mashed potatoes, wrong. Rainbow trout with potato wedges and carrots (bf/ his mom) was excellent as well. As soon as I sampled some from my bf I found a new fish to eat and it was not overly seasoned either. Salad & Chili (his dad) was just a simple salad nothing fancy and from what I heard about the chili it was alright. At the end of our meal I was surprised on what came out, our desserts. We did not even ask for any and our server came out with a tray of their million dollar desserts. It was in shot glasses and their were different flavors. You just pick what flavors you want or get the whole tray. The cannoli raspberry was great and rocky road seemed to chocolatey for me. Although it was good and I wish I could of tried all of it.

Benn here several times. Every time it has been great, except for today. Went today a 4PM. The place was empty. The service was irritatingly slow. The lettuce and tomatoes in my salad were stale and the steak was cold. Looked like what I was served had been there since lunchtime. Very disappointed.

This place is in a nice location (Miracle Mile), nice atmosphere. But we did not have a good experience with our server (actually she was pretty rude) and I think it's overpriced for the quality and amount of food. Being health conscious and smaller portion is good, but prices are not reflected. Also their dessert is quite disappointment.

Impressive. I went for my girlfriend's mother's birthday and I immediately took a liking to this place the moment I stepped foot inside. A somewhat dark ambiance, 52 seasons is exactly what I look for when celebrating an occasion. Good food, class, and innovation. We sat at the Chef's Table, and walked past a circular bar (that had a piano in the center of it featuring a young girl wearing heels singing Rihanna/Coldplay covers; interesting) Once we sat down, the waiter introduced himself and wished a happy birthday to my girlfriend's mom. He then proceeded to serve us samplings of the duck; compliments of the owner. It was a polite (and tasty) notion. The food was delicious, chicken and pasta + red wine and I was good to go. We managed to save room for some chocolate tiramisu. Overall, I highly recommend this place to take your hot lover (or your hot lovers mom).

I was really excited to check out Seasons 52 since everything on their menu is under 475 calories and the menu changes seasonally. I also have been hearing about the flatbreads so I knew a trip to the restaurant was a must. First and foremost, I want to mention how nice all the employees were. They all seemed to be very focused on customer satisfaction, and really tried to make my experience at the restaurant great. To begin with my friend and I ordered one of their renowned flat breads. We went for the special of the week which was a gyro flatbread. The flatbread lacked a bit of the gyro flavor that I was hoping for, but overall I was really pleased with it. Next time I go I plan on trying another flatbread to see what else Seasons 52 has to offer. I had been told that since everything on the menu was under 475 calories I might not find the meal filling enough, so I was a bit concerned of whether or not I would be satisfied with my meal. My friend and I both ordered the spicy chicken chile rellano and I thought it was scrumptious. It was definitely filling and definitely spicy. I was really happy with my selection and I would recommend it to anyone who goes to the restaurant. At this point we were asked if we wanted to try one of the mini desserts, and being someone who never shies away from a good dessert, I was all for it. My friend immediately went for the strawberry shortcake and said it was great. I took the waitresses suggestion and had the Belgian chocolate rocky road. I also thought the dessert was great. All in all, I thought Seasons 52 was great and I was really happy with everything that I ordered. I can't wait till I get to go again and possibly try something from next seasons menu.

Went for valentines day, the ambiance is great for date nights. Subtle lighting and friendly staff. I highly recommend reserving a table because I heard the wait time was 2 hours for a guest that walked in (but it was v-day). We really enjoyed everything from appetizer to dessert. The food was light and didn't make me feel the need to rush to the bathroom or be rolled out. That being said, portion size was a little bit small for my liking. Although the feeling I mentioned above didn't happen, I could've had some more before getting there. That was the reason for the loss of a star. Otherwise I had a great time with the wife! Enjoy

Ventured to Seasons 52 (last night), and it was definitely not as good as my first experience there... while the service was EXCELLENT, and our waiter could not have been better, the food was sub-par with some exceptions... for appetizers: the curry chicken soup, the portobello mushroom flat bread and the shrimp & lobster spring rolls were spectacular... but the (seafood) entrees were just so-so, slightly cold and fairly tasteless. We also ordered a raw tuna salad, and it was completely unseasoned / lacked any dressing or "pizazz"... definitely disappointing, given the prices on many of the entrees. Best bet is to stick to appetizers (for sharing)... Also, be sure to take a winter coat (if you eat indoors), as the subzero temperature inside the restaurant was so overwhelming, that we could not enjoy the overall meal experience. BTW - mini desserts are great too!

The first time I came here it was about a month ago and ordered from the Miami spice menu. It was fantastic. We sat at the bar and the waitress spaced our meals out perfectly and the food was great. We went back last night and it was the complete opposite! We waited forever for the flatbread, it was good. Then midway through the flatbreads our salads came out. They were a huge pile of spinach with some dressing thrown over them. Not the same as last time. No nuts, sweet dressing or cheese. Just some hunks of pears on the side. They Sucked. Then we had to wait a long time for our main course. When it was time for desert we were only allowed one of the parfaits as opposed to two of them that were offered the first time we came. So confusing and never an explanation. Overall I won't go back. Not consistent and the guys that work behind the bar have some attitude. Not friendly. Maybe Friday nights are bad.

I had the filet mignon and was not very impressed with the food. I took a group of clients here. While the service was decent, the food was not all that. I can usually tolerate a restaurant when the Food is delicious and the service is not so good, but not the other way around. I'm very picky with my food, and if it's not hot and tasty, I will not be coming back.

Let me tell you about Seasons. This place makes me really want to go back because the people who work there are truly great. I went there with my best friend for a graduation dinner on a week night and although it was dead we still had a great time. We were seated and there was a handwritten card from "Gary", the owner I presume, congratulating me. Our waiter was sooo funny, helpful and just really entertaining and honest. He definitely listened to us and recommended great dishes. The whole concept of Seasons 52 is that they change their menu every season in order to use the freshest ingredients, which I think is extremely cool. I got the Cedar Plank dish with the Salmon, and had one of the flat breads (can't quite remember which one) as an appetizer. The flat bread was deeeeliciouss and just tasted perfect. While waiting for out entree we got to meet Gary! Who was walking around lighting candles and greeting everyone, I thanked him for the card (even though I feel like he didn't personally write it) and he was just soo sweet. My entree was the grilled salmon with asparagus, potatoes and carrots with lemon juice on top. Honestly, although I think the food was good..I didn't think it was great because I felt it could of used more seasoning, oddly enough. For dessert, they had individual mini desserts that you can choose from (like P.F. Changs). We ordered one each but this waiter was sweet enough to give us an extra one :) These were delicious. Pros: great atmosphere, nice ambience, great & welcoming staff, great location (Miracle Mile), cool concept, delicious dessert, piano player Cons: paying for parking (always a con), food was good but not great (which it should be great if you're paying that much for your meal), expensivvvvveee (Just my raspberry lemonade was around $5) Honestly, I can't wait to go back to try out the new menu, hopefully the food will please me the 2nd time around.

its hit or miss in the dinning area. Bar area is nice. usually caters to an older business crowd. But, the cocktails are great, and the food is well portioned and delicious. Flat breads deserve 5 plus stars! and their cosmos are pretty high up there as well!

Even though this is a chain, they deliver consistently excellent, freshly prepared food. This one has the best set up of the chain I've seen so far. A great start to a date, a great lunch break from shopping, or just a great place to eat when you are too lazy to find that next awesome hole in the wall.

Disappointing. My man and I came here because of all the great reviews, had a 3-course meal and a few drinks for about $90 - not worth it whatsoever. Though, to be fair, our waitress was wonderful even though we came in half an hour before close and stayed until about half an hour after. Had goat cheese ravioli for an appetizer; it was okay. Nothing special. I ordered pork tenderloin with broccoli and polenta for my main course and I didn't enjoy it. Honestly, everything on my plate was rather bland and tasteless. The man friend had lamb with mashed potatoes and asparagus; he ordered it medium and it was BLOODY. Definitely rare. It wasn't very good either. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were okay. The mini-desserts were cute and a good portion size, and they were good, but again, nothing special. Two stars come from the lovely service and the nice decor and ambience. Would not come back.

I was very excited to hear that my best friends were taking me here to celebrate my birthday, as I had heard very good things about this restaurant. I was not disappointed. Their menu changes throughout the year, the larger part changes four times a year according to the season, then there is a smaller, special menu that changes weekly, hence the name. The food was fresh, delicious and presented beautifully. The portions are just the right size. The restaurant inside is very romantic and comfortable, although the music can sometimes be a little loud if you are near the bar.

My girlfriend and I ate here last night, it was our first time at a Seasons 52 restaurant. Our waiter Joel was very nice, he explained the menu and pointed out different appetizers and wine. The flatbread was good, the dinners were great, and the desserts were too! We sat in the long because they had a pianist who was also singing, he played everything from Sinatra and Michael Buble to Jason Mraz. It was a great experience, and I would recommend this restaurant!

This place was awful....sadly I went there to take my mother for her birthday. Unfortunately with the horrible service, the tasteless food and the empty restaurant I don't know anyone who would go back. DON'T GO!!! RUN!!! Our waiter was nowhere to be found. After several minutes another waitress knowing how long we had been there decided to help us. We ordered wine and cocktails. She had to prepare our drinks because the bartender was too busy talking to co-workers. The food was tasteless and over cooked. It was so bad the Second Manager took care of our bill. As trendy and loaded with restaurants as Coral Gables is this place will not be around for long...

We celebrated a birthday with our sons here - the food was terrific, generous portions of really healthy food. Great welcome at the front door. I put a note in the reservation that it was my son's birthday, and they greeted him at the door with a personally signed birthday card, and brought a dessert to the table for him. The wine flight was not only good, but a good value. We had never been here before, but have already told many others about it and will definitely return!

Alex L.
On a sunday morning, when the restaurant is anything but full, I found the service to be sub-par. I find this problem exists at most of the chain restaurants in Florida in that they really don't put out the effort they need to in order to be a great restaurant and just end up being mediocre. We ended up waiting forever for one of the waitresses to actually take the order from our table. One of our coffees came with lipstick from the previous person who had the cup. Food was slightly below average. The limited items on the menu due to their calorie limit on entrees was disappointing. Too many options to choose from in Coral Gables. Avoid this place if you have the option.

Just over rated, long wait, bad service, cold food, and over priced, I have to say, if you looking to spend an evening in a place packed with people, noisy, this is your place, if your looking to have the best dinning experience, with great food and service, this is the wrong place.

Ron and I had an excellent dinner here, visiting from Naples tonight. The food was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and at a perfect pace. The generously portioned cocktails were made quickly and correctly. The service was top notch. I would highly recommend our waiter Joel who was witty, knowledgable and engaging. Great service can make all the difference in the world for an evening and this place had it together tonight for sure! We will go to the one in Naples too now that we see what this place can do. I only hope it is as good as the Miracle Mile location.

went not too long ago and all I can say is fantastic. Superb service, excellent portions and quality, very warm staff. Because it was a special occasion they even threw in some bubbly and a photo to remember. I can't think of any other place in Miami that is like this. Truly unique. A+ Food was delicious and for the money it's ok. Not the cheapest of places, but the food was superb and service was great, so that's ok. Truly a good experience. Will go back. Hard Truth.

I had no clue all their dishes were under 472 calories and was starving when I got there; so as you can probably imagine my meal wasn't really hunger satisfying. The place does have a nice ambiance, the food is good but nothing to brag about and the service is pretty top notch. Great for a light bite, a nice glass of wine & catchy tunes by the piano man.

I came here for dinner and was met by two of the nicest hostesses in any restaurant I have been to. The hostess that sat us talked a little about their wonderful desserts in shot glasses and advised that we get some because they were delicious. It's a beautiful dimly lit restaurant with a piano player at the bar. I wish I would have asked if he took requests. I will have to ask next time. By the way, yelpers of the male sex, this is a great restaurant for a date. It's very intimate. Do it! Our waitress was very attentive and sweet and explained the menu to us and talked about how the menu constantly changed hence the name Seasons 52. 52 weeks in a year, different seasons, different menu...get it? Get it? Ok, good. My friend and I started with a bowl of mussels, which were absolutely delicious! For my main entree I ordered the trout and my friend ordered filet mignon. By the way, a lot of their food is organic and under 475 calories, according to our waitress. Yay! My meal came with roasted potatoes and grilled fresh vegetables. My mouth is salivating just thinking about how incredible that trout was. It fell apart in my mouth. I am telling you kids, it was cooked to perfection! I ate every single piece of food on my plate. Seriously, I need to go back. And soon. For dessert I opted for the fresh fruit in a shot glass. You can't go wrong with fresh fruit. There were so many yummy choices though - cookies and creme, carrot cake, key lime pie, etc. I am cooking for you Key Lime Pie!!! I love the vibe of this restaurant, I love the food in this restaurant, I love this restaurant!

Simply phenomenal. From the flatbread to the desert, everything was fantastic. I had a seasonal dish, mediterranean Tuna that was simply awesome. The wife had the filet, cooked beautifully. Soft like butter. As an apetizer we had the chilled lobster and shrimp spring rolls that were insane. Price wasn't bad either. Dinner with drinks ran just under $100. Not bad

It was a Friday night and since I stayed late at work to finish several projects, my stomach was already in a bad mood. Therefore, after I finished, I wanted a drink and a small appetizer. It was the beginning of the weekend and the beginning of July 4th week. I wanted to go to a place where I can eat, have fast service and get out in a flash because my drive to West Kendall is long. So I decided Seasons 52. Upon looking at the menu, I decided on the Chicken Garlic flatbread comprised with balsamic onions, roasted red peppers, mozzarella cheese. Complimenting the flat bread, i ordered a nice cool glass of Riesling wine. What a treat for me since I don't drink alcohol often anymore. in the beginning of my meal, I was undecided to have a mini indulgence dessert but then I told my waitress to bring over the mini indulgence tray. Upon explaining to me all the varieties, she indicated that her favorite was the Pecan Pie with Vanilla Mousse mini indulgence, which I what I chose. It was delicious. Matter of fact, everything was delicious and go out of the restaurant in a decent amount of time. Another great night at Seasons 52!!

I will be hosting a rehearsal dinner for my son and his wife-to-be at Seasons52.in April 2013. After talking to several other restaurant event planners, I was frustrated and irritated with their unwillingness to be helpful and the attitude the conveyed that I should be grateful they would allow me to spend a couple thousand dollars in their restaurants. Then I was referred to Seasons52! Denise Erwin was wonderful, informative, flexible, and best of all, she was just plain nice. Anything I needed she could accommodate in away that satisfied me but was still within reason for the restaurant. She made me feel that my guests needs and wants were of primary importance and she made planning the event fun. I was to the point where I was dreading this party, but with Denise's help, I feel Seasons52 will make the event a success. After the party, I will add more to this review to let you know how it went, but if you are thinking about hosting an event, I encourage you to call Seasons52 to take the hassle out of party planning.

We've been looking forward to eating here for the longest. It was worth the wait. There is a MUST for reservations on a Saturday evening, the place gets packed (envision a Cheesecake factory with people standing around with pagers). Once you're in, you're good. We started off with a glass of Jam Jar Shiraz. Not your typical Shiraz, this one is served chilled. Trust me, tastes great for what you're about to enjoy. Heard lots about the flatbreads, and yes - they are amazing. We had the steak and cremini mushroom. It's just enough for two. Even if you're not a fan of blue cheese, it is absolutely great. We then shared a bowl of their buffalo chili, that was an instant hit. I wasn't too crazy about the pieces of breads they put in the chili, but overall if i had to rate it I'd say a 8.5. My fiancee and I went straight after to the main courses, I had the rainbow trout and she had the scallops. Not that the scallops were bad, but they were too grilled. The trout was simply amazing. We skipped on dessert (too full) and asked for the bill. Love the fact every dish is under 475, I wish there were more restaurants like this with more conscious of heavy calorie intake. We'll definitely visit again.

I love sitting at the bar. Love their tuna salad and flatbreads! The bartenders are great...Awesome dirty martini with blue cheese olives!

Just what the Gables needed, I really like this place. It gives me the illusion that I am somewhere else out of town, not miami. Not only is the food excellent and organic, but there's live piano bar entertainment. They have a pitcher of organic oranges sitting in vodka ready for martinis. I asked the bartender, thinking it was flavored water. Cant wait to try a martini with that stuff. Their menu is seasonal, always changing. I tried their flatbread and salad for lunch. Very pleased. Need to come back for dinner. Looks like a prime hapy hour location with a great piano bar.

Went here for lunch today since it was open with the nasty weather outside. Love the area where the restaurant is located. Our waiter was a super nice guy and knew his menu very well. Started off with corn soup and it was pretty good. Very fresh. I got the Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno and it was good. Lots of different tastes in there. Only thing that I didn't like was the mashed potatoes that I got. They weren't very good at all. Wife got the salmon and she liked it. All the ingredients were very fresh. Prices were fair and the ambiance was very nice. They update their menu every season for what is in season so everything is fresh. All in all a solid place to eat.

This place delivers every time. I have been here a few times, not as much as I would like. I came for lunch to enjoy their wine tasting menu. Yes, wine tasting for lunch is awesome. Not having to go back to work, PRICELESS. So here is the deal, they let you try 3 different wines of your choosing, they'll give you a glass of the one you like most and it includes a flatbread of your choice...ALL FOR 15 BUCKS!!! Not bad, right!?!?. I added the clam and shrimp cioppino, since I ended up choosing a white wine, and my lunch was complete. Add the fact that my girlfriend did not work that day, so we got to share a week day lunch and my lunch was perfect. Oh, and if you are wondering about the quality of the food and service, all amazing.

Seasons 52 has to be one of my consistently favorite restaurants. You ALWAYS get the highest quality meal and never have to completely blow a good diet. The specials are always divine and tasty. Their service is up to par with any fine dining restaurant. Their mini desserts are to die for -- favorite is pecan pie!!

Everything was almost 5 stars but I didn't think the food was more than 4 stars. Some said their food was dry, mine was too salty. Service was excellent and everything was fast, food tasted fresh, and we had a private room so that made the experience better. They gave us complimentary dessert ("for new year") and went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for everyone.

So I finally went to Seasons 52 a few weeks ago for dinner with my friend Barbie L. We got there around 6:30 p.m. and the place so busy the wait was about an hour and forty five minutes long. Because we really wanted to try the food but didn't want to wait until the next morning to eat, we opted for one of those tiny drink tables they have outside. I think they definitely need outdoor space heaters, at least during this time of year because although it isn't consistently cold during South Florida's "winter," we do have our share of chilly days. Aside from that, this place is pretty good. Our server, Heather, was very informative and an overall great waitress. The food is fairly inexpensive, especially for Coral Gables, and when you compare 52's prices to some of their obvious competitors (like Hillstone), it's a no-brainer. However, their drink prices are a bit inflated. It seemed to me like they're trying to make up for the cheap food by hiking up the prices of their booze. Fair enough, they're on Miracle Mile and I'm sure their rent is pretty high...but it's definitely something to keep in mind if you plan to throw back a few. To start, Barbie and I shared one of their flat bread specials which was a version of a gyro with lamb and some sort of yogurt sauce. It was pretty good! My only complaint is that it got cold ridiculously fast. Although maybe we should blame the lack of heaters for that... I then had the Maple Leaf Farms Duck Chop Salad, which was quite tasty. Barbie had the Housemade Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli which she said was also good. Sadly, we had no dessert. In sum, I'd say this place is pretty good. I'd go back again to try a few more of their dishes. But, if I'm planning on having more than one drink I might have to go elsewhere before or after. Lastly, watch out for the older papi-chulos hanging out at this place trolling for young women...they're relentless!

I'm definitely adding this restaurant to my list of Favorites. It is a beautiful restaurant with a romantic,casual and sophisticated atmosphere. It has a nice piano bar where you can drink, eat and enjoy the music,plus a main dinning room. You can also sit and eat outside. The service was excellent and the food was DELICIOUS!!! I enjoyed the Organic Baby Spinach Salad with the Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon and some wine, of course. I didn't have dessert, but they looked good. I really recommend this restaurant.

As a seasoned visitor, I was disappointed with my dinner. The lobster and shrimp spring rolls were great, wonderful pieces of lobster inside accompanied by a couple of savory dipping sauces. The BBQ chicken salad was a surprisingly good entree as the BBQ sauce was just enough to taste but not overwhelm. The steak, however, was ordered rare to medium-rare and arrived charred on the outside and medium on the inside. It was tough and tasted as though it had been sitting under warming lights for the better part of the evening instead of fresh off the grill.

Went for dinner with a childhood friend during Coral Gables Restaurant Week. The service was fabulous and so was the food. I had the tomato flatbread. Yummy !! I had the pork tenderloin for dinner. Perfection! Lastly, I had the mocha desert. Really Good. Our server was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Great Food! Great Service.

How have I not reviewed Seasons 52 yet?? Somehow my review slipped through my fingers... I will quickly fix this Many moons ago, I discovered Seasons 52 when they opened up. In fact, I visited them soon after they opened this location. When they first opened, the front facade of the restaurant stood out on the Mile. There wasn't anything that looked even remotely as modern with a touch of rustic. Inside, everything is impecable. Always clean, orderly, and everyone is EXTREMELY professional and polite. They will always adress you by your last name and even offer white or black linens at the table. Quick note, most people don't know why a restaurant would offer black or white linen. Don't feel bad. I didn't know either. The idea is that you won't get white lint (from white cloth) on your dark/black clothing; or visa-versa. Knowing is half the battle, G.I. Joe! I've found for best experience, you should make reservations. They certainly allow for walk-ins, but if it is a busy time, you may have to wait quite some time. Once in a while they do have a live piano player near the bar. During cold/winter times, they have a fancy looking fireplace by the door. All individual servings are less than 475 calories. If you are health nut, like I am, this is a dream. They are even able to make certain dishes to order to be conscious of salt, gluten, or other specific health needs. If you have one of those types of needs, call ahead to see how they can help accomodate your needs. Appetizers are mostly flatbreads... well, at least that's what I end up having because they are that good. I have also had the edamame with Japanese salt. I would recommend against having the "basic" flat bread. It's not bad, but just seems to feel incomplete. There is a wide variety of flavors and you should try any of them. When they are served, they are cut into 8 pieces, so plan accordingly on how much you would like to have. Usually one flat bread serves about 2 people. The edamame is great too. The Japanese salt gives it a little kick, but by no means is it bad by itself. Let's pause again for a moment to discuss what makes Seasons 52 special. The name of the restaurant explains how they work in a very self referential way. Every season (winter, fall, summer, spring) they change the main body of their menu. In addition, they have a weekly menu (52 weeks in a year) in which they change a smaller portion of their menu. There are staples that I've seen all year round, such as the Tiger Shrimp Penne pasta (which is very good) and the basic flat bread. The chef de cuisine makes their best attempt to match the season to the cuisine and local culture. I've had a variety of dishes and (weekly) specials. They are all filling without being overwhelming. Lots of great flavors. I would like to recommend one or two dishes, but it's difficult because they change it so often. Try something new and you won't regret it. Dessert... oh dangerous desserts. The have what is called "indulgences" as their dessert. They are essentially shot glasses full of various flavors. Carrot cake, Rocky Road, Pecan Pie, Fruits, Espresso cake... the list goes on and they are ALL great. Try two! 1/2 Appetizer [~240 calories] + Entree [475 calories] + 1 indulgence [~250 calories] = 1000 calories. Bottom Line: Guilt free and amazing service keeps me returning! Bottom Line:

As I stare at the bartender, thinking since he's a mere 36 inches away maybe he'll figure out I want a drink. Waiting and waiting and bam success. Finally after 5 minutes I have a bartender. He turned out to be rather helpful. And pointed me to the stuffed mushrooms with crab meat, and the roasted stuffed artichoke. Both were an Andy hit! The piano player, she was so hot and so sultry, I didn't even mind the flat notes. The entertainment puts this place at a whole new level. The cons, yes as you get older your vision is the first supposedly to go. In my case its an eye disease that is progressively darkening my world, but with no help from Seasons, it's virtually dark, with an unreadable menu! So for the love of God and all things holy, change your fonts! I like this place, the bar is the best place to eat, as you are surrounded by all things cool!

Came in for a late night dinner and was surprised to discover that everything on the menu was 450 calories or less. I had the scallops and risotto which was very good. We finished with one of the guilt-free sized desserts. There was a piano at the bar when we were there on Friday night.

One of my favorite restaurants in South Florida. So reasonably priced and the food is hands down AMAZING!!!!!! Nice place to celebrate birthdays too because you can go in their private dining room at no extra charge. I also love sitting at the bar and bring entertained by the pianist who sings Top 40 song.

I recently ventured to Seasons 52 as I was intrigued after many friends had recommended the restaurant. During Coral Gables restaurant week, I got to savor a variety of foods on a preset menu. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was extraordinary; my waiter was constantly checking on the table and gave great recommendations. The best recommendation was the mini deserts, mainly the Tres Leches. Every last bit was so delicious, I wanted another. I restrained myself; however, I left the restaurant content knowing that every item on the menu is under 495 calories! Definitely a place I have recommended to friends.

I really like this place. It is so nice inside, the decor is so elegant but not stuffy. They also have outside seating which is really nice on Miracle Mile. The food is awesome! Everything is healthy so you don't feel gross after eating it, even the desserts. Today was my 2nd time there and it was great. Service, food, speed, everything was on point. We had the shrimp and pineapple flatbread which was excellent, and i had the mussels which were really good. It came w/ garlic toast (only 2 pieces) which is perfect for portion control. Their desserts are amazing - another portion controlled item. I had the PB one today (again) b/c I am addicted to the stuff. It was yummy. I'll keep going back. I can't wait to try their spring menu which debut next week.

Health nut combined with trendy atmosphere. Translation: lot's of fresh "healthy" choices (under 475 cal) but prepared deliciously in a delightful ambiance. Menu changes according to seasons,and they have weekly specials, so every time you come back something new is on the menu. To start we had the Caramelized Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms (excellent), then we shared a Greek Salad (perfect). I chose the Wood-Roasted Pork Tenderloin and my wife took the Grilled Boneless Rainbow Trout as main entrees, both were tasty and cooked perfectly. Then we had two mini-deserts (only $2.50 each!), this rounded off our delightful dinning experience. Kudos to our server Sheena, great job, attentive and "simpatica". And don't forget to try the wines, we had an Italian Pinot Grigio and a South African Sauvignon Blanc, both matched our entrees magically. Being a demented foodie, I never though I would give 4 stars to a "healthy eatery" (praise to that type of place is usually reserved to the crowd who's skin is almost transparent, they read Karl Marx and believe Al Gore invented the internet). Cheers!

I went for Miami spice and I thought the food was just average. There was nothing special about it and the normal menu price is IMO, not worth the food. I did not leave thinking there was anything I would ever want to go back for. Between me and 2 others, we tried almost the entire Miami spice menu.

Adriel D.
Loved the ambiance and decor immediately, lots of fine wood, perfect lighting and spacious seating. Staff was refreshingly courteous and our server was always smiling and attentive. Shared three appetizers with my girlfriend: steak and mushroom flatbread (very good), tuna and avocado sushi roll (excellent), hummus with the most incredibly addictive long chips with sea salt. Had to eventually ask the server to take them away, because I was eating too much of them by the end of the meal, and I wanted to save space for dessert: they bring you a tray with a dozen small glasses filled with different desserts, very enticing and unique. I chose carrot cake, so moist and balanced I told my GF we needed to get that for our wedding. Her chosen dessert was very good but nothing like the carrot cake. Would be back tomorrow if I wasn't so much into not repeating places so fast.

Warm atmosphere with nicely furnished dining room and bar ruined by mediocre food in a chain owned by Red Lobster which shows in the same poor quality of ingredients as its' lower-end cousin, e.g. small shrimp, unimaginative appetizers, etc. Skip it and go to Houstons/Hillstone, Morton's, Ruths Chris or Sushi Samba down the block.

Came here with the ladies for coral gables restaurant week and it was delicious. Had the hawaiian martini which was exquisite. I started off with stuffed crab & shrimp mushrooms, really good, then had the mixed salad which had a flavorful dressing and finally for entree had the filet mignon with demi glaze with asparagus and carrots, it was tender and too die for. Finally i ended the night with the pecan pie shooter, omg cant wait to go back and have another one...Yummy!!!

Everything tastes so fresh! We got to the restaurant a little earlier than our reservation/rest of our party, so we sat at the bar for a drink - we decided on champagne (the Chartogne), which was lovely. When our party arrived, they glanced at the drink menu and started talking about their bordeaux selection...the bartender, Heather, who was...tending bar...overheard them and quickly offered a tasting of whichever ones they wanted to try out before we went to the table. Which was impressive! We settled up at the bar and headed to our table...which is where things were a little, less impressive. Our server, Danny, had us sitting there for a while, which I think is uncharacteristic for the place, since Patrick, the other bartender came over to apologize that our server hasn't been over to us yet, and asked if he could take our drink orders for him. Sure! We were on a double date, so to speak, so the other girlfriend and I ordered their organic strawberry basil martini before the dinner orders/during apps...HOLY DELICIOUS, btw. My boyfriend ordered a glass of the Cakebread '10 chardonnay, which is unusual for him, but he heard good things about it and gave it a try. (thumbs up, ps.) My friend's boyfriend ordered a glass of the Parenchere bordeaux - which we ordered a bottle of with dinner - great flavors! As an appetizer, we ordered the goat cheese and artichoke flat bread...it was more than enough for an appetizer - I don't have a huge appetite, so this was actually perfect for us all to share. The other couple had the seasonal special trout with tabouleh, and the sea scallops with pearl pasta, respectively. My boyfriend ordered the free-range veal porterhouse steak - which looked amazing - and I had the rainbow trout with seasonal veggies...SO good. I can vouch for the scallops also, as she let me try one, and they were prepared perfectly. Desserts - we caved and got those silly little mini indulgence things...we ordered the chocolate peanut butter, red velvet, strawberry shortcake, and key lime pie...and shared them, for the most part. My boyfriend and I also got their port wine to pair with the dessert - it wasn't the best port I've ever had, and I was kinda sad they only have ONE option, but it was still a good port. The aforementioned "less impressive" moments with the server, were due to his remarks...from "yeah we don't have that, where I used to work we did...but not this place" to "yeah, they could do better with that, but, what can ya do, ya know?" Kinda disheartening, and unprofessional, but we didn't let it ruin our meals! :D

It is great to have a good ambiance and excellent food option in Miami. The service also accordingly. The menu is incredible and with a unique variety. The season's menu is excellent, but the weekly ones are even better options. This months they even have a plus, the Miami Spice menu.

LOVE this restaurant! Was told there would be a wait, but they seated us right away when we told them it was my mom's birthday. Sangrias were great. We got caesar salad and rainbow trout which were delicious. Josh was a great waiter and very accommodating. Great ambiance, playing live piano music. Would definitely come back!!

Okay, so while Jaguar might be my favorite restaurant in the Grove.. Seasons 52 is by far my favorite in Coral Gables! Granted I've only been there once... but let me just start by saying how friendly and helpful the wait staff is. I told them about my shelfish allergy.. done. If it's your first time there they bring you little ceviche ish samplers of shrimp, but I got tuna! due to my allergy. Anyway, the waitress started by saying that everything on the menu is LESS THAN 475 CALORIES! I mean, WHAT? Really? Okay, you had me at less than 475 calories. Sold! Also the wine we had was delicious, some sort of pino grigio I wish I could remember. We ordered the tandoori chicken, about three came on a plate.. we ordered two servings for three people (oops!) do not do that, it's huge and really filling! We had some edamame, which was also pretty filling. For our mains we had an arugula salad (one of us hardy eats anything at all!) I had the salmon main salad (delicious!) The salmon was soo perfectly cooked and tasted great with the fruit and pumpkin seeds.. My friend had the cedar planked salmon. It was good and she enjoyed it, but I preferred my salmon to be honest. By the end of the meal I was so happy with everything, that I declared I could live here.. because really they have brunch, lunch and dinner.. I mean I want to try everything on the menu! By the way, I should mention that when we came in the music was way too loud and we mentioned this.. not actually directly to them, but they overheard us talking about it so they turned it down immediately. I mean how great is that?

Seasons 52 is definitely a different type of restaurant. It is one of my favorite restaurants on the Mile. Their menu changes according to what's in season and the best part.....everything on the menu is under 475 calories! Now if only I could stick to ordering only 1 item on the menu..... My favorite dish that I had tasted so far on the menu is the steak and cremini mushroom flatbread......it's amazing. I didn't think anything would top that until I tried a flatbread which was part of their weekly menu (they have a small weekly menu that changes every week). It was a mushroom, goat cheese with truffle oil flatbread and it was spectacular! I have also tried the cedar plank roasted salmon, I was not crazy about this dish. I don't think I like things cooked in cedar, did not like the wood taste. Anyhow, I have also had their goat cheese ravioli and it was very delicious. And of course their desserts are super yummy, I always want one of each!

Now that's what I'm talking about. Meet Camille; Server Extraordinaire! This visit has to be one of the best encounters with service I have seen. Seasons 52, an otherwise 4 star restaurant, gets five stars from me this trip because of the excellent service. Camille was polite, efficient, attentive, timely and clearly understood our requests. I can't say enough about how perfect the service was, so if you go, ask for her and you'll be pleased I'm sure. Salmon and pork tenderloin is pretty good. The deserts are a modest size, but super!

Background music was great. Fair amount of options without making it overwhelming. They were very accommodating of our 2 year old and even had food options not on the menu for her. Nice wine selection and a good price range. Food was good for how healthy everything is. Save room for dessert!

I went to Seasons 52 today, since it was one of the participating restaurants in Coral Gables Restaurant Week, and there were several thoughts floating around my head such as....."Loud ambience.... bland food.... outstanding service.... amazing desserts"! Oh my, this stream of consciousness overwhelms me. Nonetheless, my pros and cons were equal for this place, so I would like to give this place a solid 3.5 (okay, more like a 3 but only because I cannot give .5s). One of the hugest cons I have to say is that since the restaurant is very open. You can hear without failure what everyone at the surrounding tables is talking about. At my left, I had a 40 year old who was on his first date and was explaining the essentials of networking and how he had a subordinate who he was mentoring himself. The booth in front of me was a more eccentric group of three 50 year old somethings who were reminiscing about their previous trip to Greece. Hearing what everyone is saying around you can dampen any ambience. It seems that the majority of people who go here are those who go for networking. Not the ideal place if you would like to lounge around for lunch! I have mixed reviews about the food. For an appetizer, I had the vine ripe tomato flatbread. Perfect combination of salty and crunchy. Good with a side of olive oil. For my main entree, I had the blackened fish tacos. I have to admit that this was probably one of the worst things I had at the restaurant. "Worst" is such a strong word, so I'll refer to it as merely "could be better". I think it had mahi-mahi, but the fish was very bland. It definitely lacked flavor and could have used a little more lime. I also prefer crunchy tacos, so the soft taco shell was a let-down. The "saving" dish of the whole meal was their small indulgences. When they present you their desserts, they show you a bunch of shotglasses containing different sweet samples of goodness. I tried the pecan pie and red velvet, and it was divine! Perfect portion of ingredients. I would definitely come here again for the flatbreads and dessert; definitely not the fish tacos; although I feel that other items on the meny may taste better. As I conclude this review, I would like to say that the service here is absolutely outstanding! My waitress always made sure that I was taken care of. Thanks Ana F.! She gave me her card at the end of the meal. If I was judging on service alone, I would have given them a 5. But the loud ambience and fish tacos knocked them down a few points. I would definitely come here again. Great dessert, good flatbread, and amazing service! However, I think I might have to stay away from the fish tacos next time.

Been to all locations in south Florida and they're very consistent with their food and service. Food is always fresh, delicious flatbreads, the menu, besides a very nice variety, they change it often yet you can be assured the food is always good. Not sure many restaurants can pull off changing the menu often and still consistently delivery good food, but this restaurant does a great job at it. And the desserts? Well that's just like great icing in the cake. Enjoy! I always do.

I took a group of friends to their pre-opening dinner service. Walking into the restaurant, the hostess greeted us with a smile and said "Mr. Chao, your table is ready..." Granted that out of our group, I am the one that is the only one that looks like a Mr. Chao, it was nevertheless very welcoming. This level of service flowed throughout the entire staff. The atmosphere was very lively and everybody had a great vibe. It seemed as if everybody enjoyed working there. The decor reminds of Houstons restaurant right down the street, which to say is not a bad thing. The large sliding doors open right up to Miracle Mile and to the bar. We were seated in a booth that was right next to the bar. Even though there were plenty of people, the noise was subdued, thanks to proper acoustic design. I can't stand restaurants where you have to shout to make conversation. Here's an interesting design element in the men's restroom: there are large rectangular metal grates that you stand over when you are at the urinal. Below the grate is a drain. Is this made just in case you miss? If you had too many drinks and didn't make it to the toilet? The menu is simple, yet complete. The four of us tried each tried something different. Appetizers included roasted poblano pepper, shrimp and crab stuff mushroom, chicker skewers, and mussels. The stuffed mushrooms was definitely the hit of the bunch. The mushrooms had an intense woody flavor. Entrees included, seared scallops, lake trout, lamb chops, and the filet mignon. The scallops were seared to absolute perfection. The lake trout filet was large and tasty. The lamb chops were just ok. It didn't have the intense gamey flavor of really good lamb. The filet was cooked to perfection. It was extremely tender and perfectly sized. All of the main entrees are under 475 calories. Very impressive. An assortment of desserts all came in individual shot glasses. I couldn't remember what they were except for the carrot cake. As a very courteous gesture, the manager came by offered our group an after-dinner glass of wine. The wine was an absolute surprise. It was a 2006 Royal Tokaji Red Label 5 Puttonyos. It tasted like smooth buttery honey and perfectly complemented the meal. Because of my pre-opening invite, dinner was comped. We only paid for our alcoholic beverages. I will definitely be back to have lunch and dinner here again and again.

I have been to two other Seasons 52 restaurants (in Boca and Orlando), and this one absolutely impressed me. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and welcoming. When my friend and I sat down, our waitress asked if we had ever visited before... and since my friend hadn't, the chef brought us out a complimentary shrimp tasting on porcelain spoons. It was a lovely touch, even though neither of us eat shellfish. We both shared the rosemary and parmesean crispbread, and each ordered the tandoori chicken skewers. She and I loved our meals - we were never rushed, and our food was prepared perfectly. The mixed greens salad that comes with the skewers is delicious - I really love that dressing. For dessert, I got the rocky road mini indulgence, while she chose the key lime pie (both were excellent). Our waitress was also prompt and courteous, so our water glasses were never empty. Before we left, the manager made sure we enjoyed everything, and my friend and I both agreed that everyone was just so nice. It was a very pleasant, relaxing lunch... so needless to say, I didn't want to go back to work! I can't afford to come here all the time, but I certainly will visit again.

I was the lucky duck that got an invite to Seasons 52's preview lunch thanks to AMEX Gold so I took my friend for a lunch break on a Tuesday. First of all the decor has a very Colorado outdoorsy feel with a modern touch. Rock walls, wood beams matched with classy furnishings. You feel at home but still out for a special meal. What most impressed me was the discovery that every single dish on the menu whether lunch or dinner is promised to be under 500 calories. So this is a great place to take someone who is watching their weight but doesn't want to loose out on flavor and variety. As part of the promotion to have us there we each had to pick an appetizer, entree and dessert. The menu is extensive, offering seafood, flat breads, sandwiches, soup and salad combos and it was hard to pick what we wanted. Another great aspect of the menu is it changes every three months to reflect what is best in local seasonal foods. Our dishes included crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms which were a great warm and slightly cheesy start to our meal. Chicken Tortilla soup was good if you enjoy it as a savory and hearty dish. The scallops were cooked to perfection, served with Israeli couscous and steamed asparagus. I chose the tropical salad with shrimp rolls, the salad was so bold with flavor citrus, pineapple, edemame came together in a delightful dish, unfortunately it was such a flavorful salad it outshined the shrimp rolls where were a bland partner to the salad, the quality of everything served was great. For dessert we got to choose from their sweet ending desserts served in a small cup - for me the Meyer's lemon pound cake parfait was heavenly, tart and sweet! My friend chose the key lime pie cup and she said it was really good and the perfect finish to our meal. Service was extremely attentive, Joel was knowledgeable on the menu and tried to anticipate our requests. I really look forward to taking my husband to try our the rainbow trout on the menu as that is not something you find on most menus. In the end I would say this is a great addition to the choices on Miracle Mile.

Impressive spot. Everything on the menu is under 475 calories. Which had me thinking that the portions were going to be absurdly small, leaving me wanting to eat six of them to compensate for their calorie saving size. 475 calories is usually my first mouthful. Not so. I was good & full after the tuna noodle bowl, a nice size portion of fresh tuna over top of bok choi and Japanese noodles with mushrooms and a delicate ginger-sesame sauce. The flatbreads make a nice appetizer but are probably too small for an entree. Even the deserts are plenty enough size for one and hold the same calorie count, but you'd never know it. It all has to do with the way it's cooked, surprisingly not that they skimp on size, variety, ingredients, or flavor. The piano bar is nice and it seems like a good place for an after work drink too. The ambience in the restaurant makes me think of Napa. If you haven't tried, it's worth it.

The place was very nice and service very good. Clean and nice atmosphere. I had various flat breads which were ok. It's so thin that it feels like your eating nothing. Also had the shrimp risotto. It was ok. A bit over cooked and very little risotto which tasted ok. It was to dry and clumpy. The dessert stand was awesome thought. That was the best part.

I have eaten at Seasons 52 many times and always thoroughly enjoyed it - the food has always been great as well as the service. THis past Saturday, my family held my Baby Shower in the private room and it was SUPERB. Everything from the service to the food was outstanding. From the moment I walked in the door, they greeted me with smiles and had a gift for me (a little Seasons 52 onesie), took a picture of me holding it up and then even developed the picture, of which they gave me a copy. They were so incredibly friendly, and not just to me - everyone that I have spoken to since that day has told me what a great job they did and just how nice the staff was. We stayed well beyond the time we should have but they were not rude or rushing to get us out - in fact, one of the servers helped us carry out all the gifts at the end of the event. The food was very good - everything was served family style - in particular, the char grilled salmon with salad was OUTSTANDING. I am not a huge salmon fan but it was so good that I had seconds. It was lightly charred and served with mixed greens, peppers, mangos and a vinaigrette. Plenty of food! Like I said, this was not my first experience at Seasons 52 but I was again reminded of the fantastic service and food that this restaurant has to offer and I would recommend it over and over, whether you're going just for dinner or looking for a venue for a private event.

First time in the rest. Great server (Ana) we sat outside on a beautiful day. Had the steak flatbread which was very tasty. The soup of the day was ok but could have packed more taste. Had couple mimosas and passed on dessert although it looked very good Very pleased

Service is always personable and never rushed. Food is delicious and the place looks great. I have always enjoyed myself here whether I've gone with friends for a casual time at the bar or gathering for dinner.

Great food. They have a seasonal menu which lists the calorie counts for all of their dishes. One of the few chain restaurants that doesn't serve you microwaved meals. I had the buffalo burger and we shared some of their flatbreads. Both were delicious.

Fantastic service, good food, and the portion sizes are perfect! I've been to a few different locations and the food and atmosphere are consistently very nice along with the outstanding service and attention to detail. Food is "healthy" so it may not suit everyone's taste, however it is among the best of the higher end "chains".

Four of us dined on a Saturday evening to celebrate an 85th birthday. The two flatbreads were delicious (shrimp, chicken). The salmon salad entree also got raves and i loved my trout with whole carrots and roasted potatoes. My partner did nt enjoy the pasta shrimp dish whcih didn't even look appetizing. Desserts as usual were yummy and the birthday boy's was on the house. DP

The interior is nice, very much a chain restaurant though. Service was pleasant and attentive but it was annoying when our server used the exact same spiel, jokes and all, WORD FOR WORD, with several nearby tables. It seemed forced and cheesy. Ordered the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli with vegetables, roasted garlic, and fresh basil in a light tomato sauce. It was light, healthy and the perfect lunch option. It was actually less ravioli and more like veggies with goat cheese, not that I'm complaining or anything - I ate every last bite.. Bf had the mussels; they were alright but nothing special and kind of lacking flavor. We also had a side of brussel sprouts which we could have made better at home. I prefer my brussel sprouts to be a bit more crunchy but these were kind of soft and mushy. Had an excellent glass of ZD Chardonnay as well, which I was very excited to see on their menu. Great place to come with your family or for a light meal before headed out. Prices are reasonable for Coral Gables/Miami.
I can't fathom how people like this crappy flavorless food... I tried the one up in Tampa and it sucked. I gave this one a chance due to it's great reviews, and again, bland crappy food... Great service good atmosphere, but I came to eat and enjoy some food... I don't understand how it is so many people have such bad taste, it must be the location and all the cheesy wannabe foodies that exist in that area.. So many better options in the Gables than to be spending a dime on this chain.

Very pleased with Seasons 52. Not only was the staff able to handle a large party of notoriously particular-yet-indecisive diners with ease and patience, the food was great too! We were greeted and seated in a wonderful circular booth once our entire party had arrived. The host and server were professional, expeditious, and helpful.Two members in our party are very hard of hearing. It was difficult to hear the server because of his extremely quick and soft speaking voice, but I was able to persist and order my meal. Others in our party had to ask for clarification or just let words pass them by. The atmosphere is wonderful in Seasons 52. It is dark and romantic, yet lively because it accommodates groups well. A musician began playing and singing in the adjacent lounge area shortly after we arrived, which made it even more difficult to hear. Miami isn't known for its quiet restaurants, so what can you do. I was a little worried upon hearing that the restaurant doesn't use butter and that their dishes are relatively low on calories. I feared that I was going to spend my evening enduring tough, flavorless meat and accompaniments, but I was totally wrong. I got the pork tenderloin. It was absolutely delicious. We were there for a birthday celebration, and they brought out the tree of mini desserts at the end. I took only one even though the server offered more. That was a mistake! I had the peanut butter - chocolate get-up, and it was mouthwatering. It had the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and bitter between the chocolate sauce, peanut butter, and cream (ice and whip, if I recall correctly). Overall, I was very pleased with Seasons 52. I look forward to going back.

A+ for Service as always! I've been visiting Seasons ever since the opening month. The service has always been consistent. Even when it's packed they are always friendly and it's always worth the wait. The last visit was such an occasion where we didn't want to wait and opted for the bar on a Sunday Evening. As soon as we were seated our bartender/waitress was very receptive and greeted us immediately. She went over the menu and made suggestions and offered additional nutritional information. There was a piano singer that night and she was great. The atmosphere was lively, yet not too loud or overbearing. The food was consistent with how I've always found it, with one exception, my Filet Mignon. I requested medium temperature but it was very charred on the outside, still medium but I didn't care for the crisp outside. Appetizer soup of the day was filling. My friend had the Swordfish special, and it was cooked to perfection. Always love eating here because I never feel guilty after. It's appetizing and filling without leaving you overstuffed. The desserts are also the perfect size.

Must have a flatbread as an appetizer. Menu is always changing but try the specials. Deserts are small and full of taste. Indulge...

I've eaten at the Boca Raton location of Seasons 52 many times, but happened upon this location on the occasion of my sister's birthday. She was visiting from Virginia and staying with our folks in Coral Gables, so on Saturday, May 12, 2012 we left the kids with the grandparents and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Seasons 52. We shared two appetizers and two salads; the server was happy to give us extra plates for this purpose, and it was fun trying different things. The produce and fish were fresh and delicious; I love the way that Seasons 52 gently dresses the salads--I want to taste the lettuces, not an overpowering dressing. Our server was clearly in training; our booth was near the kitchen and we heard him being educated a bit by someone in a chef's jacket, but he wasn't so new that he didn't yet have a business card! He handed me as I paid the check a Season's 52 business card that read: "Gilbert Gonzalez, Server" and was imprinted with the address and phone number of the Miracle Mile location. He was polite and even though he didn't seem to recognize the wines when we ordered them, he brought the correct bottles and poured without incident. This being my sister's first meal at a Season's 52, she especially enjoyed the mini indulgence desserts which Mr. Gonzalez described and served with aplomb. Delicious wine, (mostly!) healthy food, and excellent service--what more could anyone want? I dropped some cash on this meal but when my sister emailed me after she returned home to say that this meal had been the highlight of her Florida vacation, I considered it money well spent.

If you want to have a GREAT quality food in VERY upscale environment - Seasons 52 must be among your choices...

This is a place that I like to go eat on the Mile. The food is always good and I don't feel guilty for what I eat since it is healthy and under 500 calories. I tend to take clients here too since the ambience is more upscale, they have an extensive wine menu and their menu has a lot to offer. As such I've tried an array of things -- their flatbreads are always good, so are their apps the shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms and seared tuna, their bison burger for lunch and their filet for dinner or the chicken are good as well. Their seared tuna salad is also good as well. The mini desserts are similar to PF Chang's if you have ever had those and quite tasty. I like that their menu is always rotating so their is always something new and different to try. I'm a fan --healthy, tasty and not too terribly expensive for the Gables.

Leslie S.
Excellent for those health conscious folks! All plates are under 475 calories and delicious! My husband and I have dined here several times and they have all been excellent experiences. They change their menu with every season so you can enjoy the foods that are in season.

The corn chowder and tomato flat bread were very good! I like that everything is healthy and low calorie. The food is good and the ambiance is very nice. I really enjoyed the live piano music as well. I'm a also a big fan of the little dessert cups! Yum!!

Creative and unique menu concept, beautiful restaurant, exceptional service and extensive wine list. Portobello, four cheese and truffle flatbread was amazing. Melissa working on the patio provided some of the best service we've had in Miami which was refreshing. We can't wait to go back and to bring friends!

Can I give 6 stars??? Everything was excellent. Excellent food, excellent wine list, excellent service!!!!! We were four, we had the salmon, the chicken, the lamb, and the quail; we all were delighted with our plates. Desserts...to die for and I usually don't eat dessert. Very well priced, wine, two appetizers, four main courses, four desserts, and three espressos $198. Not bad at all!!!!

I went with my boyfriend not too long ago since the place looks so nice in Miracle Mile. It has a big a beautiful bar. The restaurant itself is very pretty. The service is impeccable. The food is OK. I was expecting a little more taste to the food or maybe its just not my type of food. The menu is changed seasonly and has a variety of different foods. I ordered the burger they had and it was very small and not much taste to it. My boyfriend ordered a pasta which was mostly veggies. If you are a health nut and would like to go out to a nice restaurant and not feel bad about what you have eaten, then this is the place for you.

Matthew G.
I've never been dissatisfied! The food is amazing and always fresh. You should definitely get an appetizer and some desert, because the entrees are of course limited in calories (great for watching your weight!). The service is great and very friendly.

Anne M.
This is such a great restaurant, who ever came up with this idea is a genius. You can sample different foods and pair them with different wines and get a little taste of the entire menu without feeling like you over indulged. The flat breads are healthy and amazing and the desserts are a little slice of heaven and by that I mean you get a little slice of dessert and don't feel bad about it! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were knowledgeable and made some great suggestions!
LOCATION: My Hunny and I were in the mood to try something new and after reading a few reviews we decided to give Seasons 52 a try. When we arrived we were surprised of the location - right on Miracle Mile. The place was packed and everyone had a buzzer in hand. Boy, this place is going to give Houstons.. Hilstons (whatever) a run for their money! Nevermind the fact that we arrived 30 minutes early - something that we were proud of and almost never happens. Anyway we were HUNGRY! We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation time. DECOR: Cabin chic. EXPERIENCE: The waitress took her time telling us about the menu and how they have a new menu each week of the year- hence the 52 in the name. We were happy to hear that the meals are low calorie (475 to be exact) since we "try" to watch our weight. Finally a restaurant you can go to that doesn't add a pound of butter to every recipe - Sorry Paula Deen! The Manager was kind enough to come by towards the end of our meal. RECOMMENDATION: We had the Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread that everyone is raving about. My hunny loved it! I thought it was alright, no big deal. Kind of like a thin crust pizza. Entrees were good, not great. The small dessert cups are actually really good. I usually skip these kinds of desserts at other places like PF Changs - definitely try the Pecan Pie cup! Yummy! Overall I'd recommend the restaurant because you can go there, have a nice dinner without breaking the bank or the scale when you get home.

My girlfriend and I went here for a celebratory drink and I was impressed right away. We went on a Monday night when it was a bit slow but the "piano man" played on. I'm a musician so I always appreciate good live music, which this definitely was in it's own semi-cheesy but totally perfect way. My understanding is there are five different guys who come in and play, but the guy we saw was sensational and genuinely appreciative of our applause. He broke out a jazz cover of Enrique Iglesias's "Tonight I'm *ahem* Loving You" which really tickled us and a beautiful rendition of Christopher Cross's "Sailing." The drinks were very good and reasonably priced for the area. The dessert martinis were especially good. Which brings me to the desserts...I was a big fan of the mango cheesecake! I look forward to going back for dinner one of these nights, which also looked very good.

Went to Season's 52 yesterday afternoon for a lunch with my husband, hoping to begin the new year's weight loss resolutions correctly. Everything on the menu is 475 calories or less (including the sides that come with the plate). This is very good for the health conscious! I imagined that the food would come out miniscule for this amount of calories, but the plates were normal sized and the food was absolutely delicious. I could not believe the amount of flavors infused in a dish of so little calories. I would most definitely return.

Monica C.
Every girl has had a "I am on a diet" moment in her life. The worst that can happen when you are on a diet is to be invited out for a business lunch. However, Seasons 52 solves this for you. Every plate is guranteed to be under 475. The steak flat bread and the fish tacos were delish. I also tried the cookies and cream dessert which left me wanting more. To top it off, they now have a skinny martini. So on during that diet period (or not), head out to Seasons 52. You will not regret it.

Wow, is all I can say. Heard a lot about this place but was reluctant to try their healthy cuisine. The food was amazing, went for dinner and ordered off the Miami spice and everything was delicious and the portions were huge. Can't wait to go back !!

Been here numerous times! They offer a seasonal menu which is nice. The Fruit Martini is Amazing! The Flatbreads are Yummy. My favorite is the Garlic Chicken. The Ceviche is good but a little on the Spicy side! And they offer a variety of mini Desserts which gives you the option of eating more than one! They are delicious! All of them. The nicest thing about this restaurant is the Piano Player in the Bar area. He plays a variety of genres and even takes requests Lol!

I came her for dinner but would only recommend it for lunch and drinks (AND DESSERT!!!). I got scallops. I must not have paid attention to the (small) menu. I assumed the scallops would be pan seared with an amazing crust on them but when I got them they were grilled. They were cooked well, I was just disappointed that they were not what I was expecting. That however is not the fault of the restaurant. Our server was great. They have a good wine selection, but the best part of the meal was the flat breads and dessert! O-M-G, they came out with the tray of desserts and you can just point to what you want and get it right then and there (great marketing). I ended up getting the pecan pie and the berry cannoli. I also got to try everyone else's choices. Our table ended up telling the server to leave all the desserts there. The cannoli cup was BY FAR THE BEST CHOICE!!! I would go back just for the flat bread, cannoli and wine. Just reviewing it is making me hungry for more!

I've been here many times for lunch and have never reviewed it. They have a lot going for them, in my book. They are consistent. It's nice to go there and always get impeccable service and delicious food (healthy, too!!) I've had their buffalo burger, fish tacos, flat breads, cedar-plank salmon, and I've yet to be disappointed. Their individual-sized desserts are really great for when you're in the mood for a scaled-down indulgence.

Came with a party of 14 people and the food and service exceeded my expectations. Often with large parties it can be a little chaotic and courses can get delayed but that didn't happen. Food and service were excellent. Love that when u order wine by the glass they allow u to taste it and the bartender made suggestions. The servers were super friendly and patient with us. It was a really great choice for a large birthday dinner.

From an open and friendly kitchen visible to all visitors to a tasty menu that only boasts items 475 calories or less, Seasons is putting its mantra where our mouths are and not our pounds. I would have to say that the only problem is during dessert. The 'mini indulgences', which are 3 oz. shot glasses that range from fruity favorites such as key lime pie to chocolaty rocky road, make me look like the Cookie Monster gone wild. So maybe I can't have just, one, two, three, four...STOP JUDGING ME. Anyways, to me, this place never disappoints.

Went there with another couple on a Saturday night. We had 7:45 reservations and decided to get there early (7:30) and have a few drinks at the bar. Walked right up to the bar, sat down and enjoyed great bar service. At 8:30, we were still waiting for a table. we decided, since there was open seating around the bar, that we would just sit there and order. We dined for over an hour and a half and it was fantastic. From the flatbreads appetizers to the Scallops, the Veal, the Shrimp. All so very delicous. The the little desert shots! Amazing! Now, my two little nit-picks. First, we waited over 45 minutes past our reservation time before we took it upon ourseves to just sit in the bar. It really didn't seem that busy. Second, it was a very humid night and since we were sitting in the bar it was very hot. We asked the server if there was anything she could do and she stated that she would close one of the glass door that are in front. However, they have theses little bar tables out there and all of them had patrons so the couldn't close the doors. That aside, I would definitely return. The food was so good and everyone was so friendly that I can easily overlook two minor issues.

Veronica D.
WOW! what great food, from their selection of low calorie flat breads to their large selection of entrees under 450 calories. Not to mention their deserts that are perfectly portioned and brought to you ready to eat. Their service is also impeccable! I ordered the Fillet Mignon and unfortunately the kitchen messed up on the order twice. The manager comped my meal and the bottle of wine. He also made it a point to excuse the mistake a number of times. I was very impressed by the his professionalism and service recovery standards that he exemplified. I will definitely be coming back for another meal!!!!! yum yum yum!

Went for my birthday, they had a birthday card on the table for me. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered flatbread, the goat cheese ravioli, steak, wine . . . it was all perfect. Our waitress was a sweetheart gave us excellent service. Loved the piano at the bar & the decor was lovely. Can't wait to return.

Ting W.
Food here was great. I ordered a Sangria, then finished, then ordered another one. First one had strawberries all the way to the top, perfect mixture of all the ingredients. The second one tasted like they were trying to pull a fast one on me. Filled with grenadine and club soda with no fruit. Yuck, sent it back. The flat bread appetizers were good. Although I wouldn't say "to die for" and my pasta meal with shrimp was decent. I'd like to try other items.

Dianna R.
The best thing about Seasons 52 is the fresh menu! Vegetables are seasonal and fresh. And there are many organic, cage free options for various menu items. This is rare in a moderately priced restaurant. The service was ok - I think the servers are still new and learning. The live piano and singer in the bar area was great!! Can't beat a live piano!

Isabelle D.
The actually entree I had was not good at all. The only reason why I am giving them any stars at all is for their desserts. They are amazing. I will come again just for them. Probably drink at the bar and eat desserts, which is perfectly fine with me.

Is this my favorite place? No, but I will come here because it's healthy and it's in a good location for me. It's nice to know that everything is under 500 calories and you can taste it. I've been here for lunch and dinner and I cannot say that I've been "wow'ed" any of those times. I will say that they have the best edamame I've had because they actually give you a bowl of salt to dunk it in as opposed to coming pre-salted like everywhere else. I have had the stuffed shrimp with artichoke, which was decent. I also have tried the trout and the scallops. The scallops had a sweet flavor to it because of the sauce they used, it comes with asparagus and a pearl pasta which was also rather sweet. The trout is probably the better tasting dish I've had here, but it's generally not my seafood preference. I have yet to sit in the main dining room, because it's always full. Service could be better. In fact, they forgot to put in the order, so the manager took care of our desserts, coffee, and drinks. Please try the red velvet mini-dessert. You will not be disappointed. Interestingly, over the weekend, they had some live entertainment which was a guy playing a piano inside the bar. He kept stroking classic dinner hits, but it wasn't until he did a "I'm a Genie in a Bottle/ Ganster's Paradise" mash-up that he got any applause. Seasons 52 doesn't get a standing O from me, but more like a slow clap.

It all started looking through Yelp for a great place to eat.. Surely I found Seasons 52 and looked through some great reviews and off I was to try it out for myself! The location is great if you just want to walk around and enjoy the day, and once you get there, you are greeted by the nicest staff in Miami. The menu is full of food that is great ( and it changes through out the year, ask the waitress to give you the background), and also great for you. Everything is low calorie BUT do not get confused... it is awesome. They have a great list of Wines if your into that (we weren't but the waitress insisted that we did), and if your not I still recommend trying at least one, these guys know their stuff about it. The desserts... WOW. Run out there as soon as you can, its really worth it btw, ask for Heather... she will take care of all your questions and is a great waitress.

I ordered the lamb mini t-bone. The lamb was decent but was very difficult to eat with a fork and knife because of the bone. The asparagus was very crunchy and lacked taste for me. The mashed potatoes were EXTREMELY garlicky. Overall, I would recommend this dish.

Jennifer D.
This restaurant is extraordinary! The name says it all! The food changes by every season of the year to give you a fresh meal at every visit. Their are certain items that change every week, giving you the 52 weeks a year. On top of that everything is under 475 calories but that doesn't mean the food is tasteless, it's full of flavor, its just more like the "right portion" one should eat. My boyfriend and I had one of their marvelous flatbreads, mushroom and shrimp goat cheese appetizer, and the pork tenderloin, don't get scared! That goat cheese tastes amazing and the flatbreads are to die for. When you go ask for Heather she is VERY sweet and explains everything! Don't leave without a dessert! These little delicacies will leave you dying for more, but don't forget these are the right portion at a great price. :) enjoy!

My wife and I have to Season 52 twice in the last several months. Season 52 is an all organic restaurant and all of the meals are under 475 calories. We had the Filet Mignon, scallops and a salad. The servers are always nice and professional and the prices are reasonable. The only complaint I have is every time we go to Season 52 they act as if we need a reservation. But the restaurant is never full, its a little annoying but we overlook it because of the food and service.

I love the food and wine here. The concept is fab - every item on the menu is under 450 calories and they offer fresh, in-season vegetables, hence the name refers to 52 weeks of the year. Even the desserts are under 450 calories, and of course they are TINY. I always order a fish entree with vegetables. The flat breads are good too. The decor reminds me of an upscale ski lodge: dark woods, fireplace, dark leather chairs. Come for a nice happy hour near the bar (although they don't have any happy hour prices) or a romantic, candlelit dinner in the main dining area.

This place was a great find. My wife and I had passed by a few times but never had the chance to go. After reading some reviews, we decided to try it and were not let down. The food was amazing. We started with the lobster bisque from the specials menu. It's not a set item but if they have it I strongly recommend it. My wife had a tuna salad which was great and my son had grilled chicken from the kids menu (also very tasty). I had the Grouper Mayan (also from the specials menu) and it was excellent! I never knew 475 calories could taste so good. We finished the night with two deserts (each was served in what looked like big shot glasses). They bring a tray of 6 or 7 of them for you to choose from. The presentation of the food was perfect and the service was too. The entertainment was impressive as well. There was a woman playing the piano and singing popular songs which added to the whole experience. The piano is actually behind the bar. Great place. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

I could come here and stuff my face with flatbreads and leave 100% satisfied. Those things were amazing. The decor, the atmosphere,the service, the food: everything is great. The restaurant is huge! They have private dining rooms for parties, the main dining room with a view to the kitchen (in a somewhat cool way), and then the side bar with several booths and even a piano player playing different tunes. A nice place to dine, best for a special occasion.

Mediocre at best. Gets 2 stars bc of the location and the decor - it is very pretty inside. Went there with my bf and his fam. we all ordered diff things and tried a variety of the winter menu items - flatbreads, Mac n cheese, and goat cheese ravioli for appetizer and filet, beef tenderloins, lamb, and scallops for dinner. Eh - nothing really wowed us. Also, the waitress poured red wine all over my bf's dad. At least they offered to dry-clean his jacket...

I went here for my 30th Birthday and LOVED it! The food is great, the decor is lovely, and the service is top notch! I really have nothing negative to say about this place. They even gave me a souvenir photo of my party. Great way to remember my 30th. Thank you!!

I had a really great dining experience at Seasons 52. The service was excellent, as well as all of the menu items we ordered- they even brought us samples of the soups (which were amazing I must add) We sat outside, since we had a dog with us, and they even brought bread for the puppy. I thought that was super friendly. Kudos :) If you are having trouble picking what to eat, start off with one of the flatbreads. They are super light and full of flavor- We tried the Plum Tomato with basil...thin, crispy, a perfect starter! Everything looked super tasty on the menu, but here's my recommendation: go for the specials. I ordered a curry shrimp roll with avocado accompanied with a fresh mango and jicama salad with wild greens and a tangy tropical dressing- it was divine. It was perfect for a well balanced lunch. Super friendly service, pet friendly and delicious- I'll be back!

Yay, a Seasons 52 in the Gables! I have been a couple times to the location in Fort Lauderdale and I am a big fan. Last week I tried out the new spot with fellow yelper Janelle and my best friend. We went for lunch and there was no wait, but talk is get ready to wait if you come for dinner. Spicy -- Buffalo Chili -- perfect amount... and it had a little kick to it as well. Big chunks of meat in it, black beans, DELICIOUS BBQ Chicken Salad -- Yummy. I have had this before and again it was great. Greens, spinach, corn, bbq chicken, roasted red peppers, pumpkin seeds and blue cheese -- can it get any better? Desserts -- I love their selection plus the shot glasses are perfect when you just want something sweet after dinner but dont want an entire dessert. I had the key lime pie and I wanted more :) Medium -- Steak and mushroom flatbread -- it was pretty good considering i don't like mushrooms too much. Their flatbreads are a must get... love. Mild -- nothing really. My friends enjoyed their meals and their cocktails also :) If you are in the Gables this is a definite spot to check out!

Nice atmosphere, romantic lighting, and the smell of wood burning as you enter. Those were my first impressions. We only came here for drinks so I can not comment yet on the food. There was live piano music and singing which added to the lovely relaxing atmosphere. I'll be back for more.

Well - it happened again: another email follow up promising a live "fixer" of my experience... and nothing again! Ladies and gentlemen, Season 52 has a "robot-review-answerer". Pretty much in the vein of how their food is prepared :) Skip it!

The interior of this new restaurant sports an Arts and Crafts design via Greene and Greene. It is nice and warm and cozy thanks to lots of wood and stone and carpet. There are two nice large window walls that open completely to the sidewalk, one on the dining side and one on the bar side. It is a nice touch, especially this time of year when they can open the room to the street activity. The restaurants claim to fame is healthy eating and freshness, hence the name Seasons. They supposedly change the menu four times a year featuring seasonally appropriate fare and all of the menu items are under 475 calories. I was able to take advantage of the complementary dining offer twice for lunch. The first time I had the "Greek" Salad and the Grilled Swordfish Special. The salad was pretty good with large chunks of cucumber and feta and lots of kalamata olives but the transparent slices of tomato was pretty sad. The swordfish was cooked a bit more than I like it but it was not over done. It was served on a bed of bok choy, mushrooms and rice, both the fish and the vegetables were excellent. I had the shot of lemon pound cake for dessert. The desserts are minuscule in order to keep them under 475 calories. For my second lunch, I had the chili and the fish tacos. The large pieces of meat in the chili were a bit tough otherwise it was good but not Houston's good. The fish tacos suffered from being too healthy. The taco looked like it was whole wheat, but I am not positive, and the fish was grilled and not fried. It was no Baja Fish Taco but it could probably be saved by just changing the taco shell. The wine list is extensive with about 60 wines by the glass. Since they don't have a cruvinet I would hope that they have a lot of turnover on the wine otherwise there is a possibility that you may be ordering an old wine. Luckily, the wines that I had were very good if a bit overpriced based on the stingy pours. I had the Catena Malbeck, the Schug Pinot and the TENZ and Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blancs. The only disappointment was the TENZ, the Schug was excellent if really expensive. I must return and try some additional items, the seared scallops that the person sitting next to me ordered looked delicious.

The decor and ambience of the restaurant is so nice. It reminds me of a ski lodge! It's not loud inside, and the staff are so friendly the moment you walk in through the door, calling you by your name. The food is good. We had the artichoke stuffed shrimp and grilled swordfish and they were delicious. There is an excellent wine selection, and if you're afraid of buying a glass of wine that has the potential of gone bad, don't be. My table had three different wines and none of them had oxidized. Best part of the food: it's good for your calorie counting. Including the desserts. Which were excellent. I have a huge sweet tooth so I was skeptical about the size of the dessert being satisfying, but it truly was. I had the rocky road, and you think that little cup is only four bites but I managed to take at least 10. As far as price wise, it's not too bad. A glass of wine averaged around $11, the entree dishes were around $20, and I believe the desserts were around $8. I'll be back.

They are officially opening on the 15th of November, but for now, they are offering the opportunity to sample their menu and their service for the next few days. Very nice place, it will no doubt be a hit in Miracle Mile, the decor is unique and modern and obviously, thus far, the service has been flawless as they are in training and there is a visible presence at all times. Something tells me that this level of quality and service will remain and it will be a breath of fresh air in Miami, I will no doubt return and update this review as I become more acquainted with the place and they roll out in full force. Something that is uniquely cool is how they rotate their menu to match the season - As of right now, I have tried their scallops for appetizer and the Fillet Mignon and I can say that both dishes were absolutely fantastic. I work literally across the street from this place, so I am looking forward to being a regular here. Stay tuned - updates to come, but in the meantime definitely see for yourself...go to Seasons 52 and give it a try -

I really liked the atmosphere of the bar. It is very large with first come first serve seating. The guy playing the piano is really good and they have the volume just right. The service was great and our food came fast. Both my bf and I are very health conscious so we appreciate the thought behind this restaurant. We started with the flat bread which was tasty but could have been a bit more crisp. Then we had the stuffed mushrooms with shrimp and crab. The dish wasn't what I expected it was going to be (was thinking big mushrooms on a plate that would be stuffed) but it was still good. I think I would skip this the next time, though, and try something different. I had the scallops for dinner and my bf had the fish over rice. I would love to have the sauce for the fish with the scallops! Portions are what a portion should be, not what most people expect from a restaurant. Overall, both our meals were a bit above average, but when trying to stay under a certain number of calories, there is not too much that can be done! We each got one of the desserts and felt that the shot glass size was really filling. Overall, I thought this was a good place to go. I really appreciate the concept and I think you have to be aware of it before going, otherwise, you may feel disappointed. Seems like a great place to grab a drink!!! We will definitely go back :)

Gotta give 4 stars just cuz it's a pretty good place with healthy food. Can't beat the fact that most dishes are under 500kcal. That in its self is amazing. Service is always good. Very nice ambiance. The flatbreads are great!

I've been to this place a number of times and the more I go, the less I enjoy it. Last night beat the cake. While we were finishing our meal at a booth in the bar area, I "felt" someone, it was a man and a women, standing right over my left shoulder. He said "I don't mean to be rude, but we are waiting for your table". When my daughter and I came in we went to the hostess and told her a table for two and she had someone escort us over to our table. I don't know how this couple managed to just walk thru. Maybe they thought it was a sports bar! The food was just okay. I think the best "season" is the fall menu. Considering there are more places in the Gables that serve really good food, Seasons 52 needs to step up their game.

GREAT restaurant. Fresh ingredients, ever-changing menu with the season and what's naturally abundant at the time. Great calorie distribution, if you like that kinda thing. Portions are appropriate, including desert, which is under 200 cal. All such tasty food, well prepared, and moderately priced. Nice wine selection. Good music and atmosphere. Nice wait staff. A+ I always go here when in Miami, pretty much every month.

Went on Saturday 8/23/14 and tried their Miami Spice Menu, we got there right at 7pm and tehre was no waiting, we were seated immediately which was great on a Saturday night. First time visiting and will not be the last. The Spice menu is $39 per person for a 4 Course meal. We ordered both Flat Breads on the menu, include a Spinach and Raspberry Salad which was good if you like spinach, for entree tehy have 3 or 4 choices, we both ordered the 6oz Fliet and it was soooo good, melt in your mouth tender. Cooked to prefection. I ordered medium well as I do not like to see blood in my meat and it was tender all the way to the end. Comes with Veggies and Mashed Potatoes. For dessert they bring an assortment of shooters for you to choose one and after that big meal a small treat is just what you need. We ordered a bottle of wine and with taxes it was under $120 for 2 adutls and one child which is pretty reasonable for the Gables. Loved the live pianist and the service was awsome. Great place for meetingf or cocktals or dine in. Will be back for sure!

Its been quite some time since I found a place where the servers are all super friendly and so attentive. Drew, our server last night, is hands down the sweetest ever! Our dinner consisted of the seared tuna salad as the appetizer, which was excellent, and the lamb chops with mashed potatoes, which was also very good. Everything on the menu is supposed to be low calorie, but nothing tasted as if it was. For dessert I had the Oreo shot, which was delicious and just the right size!

The place is cozy and looks ill placed in Miami where most places are sleek and modern. The decor is a welcomed change to the usual except for the fabric on the chairs and booths which screams out 90s. I'm sure the restaurant will do well on mircale mile but for me I doubt I will go back often. It's great to have a healthy food option here but I left hungry and was not satisfied. The buffalo chili was delicious and a good portion but the flatbreads were almost nonexistent. I don't think it is humanely possible to roll out that dough anymore than they do. The crab stuffed mushroom were great and hard to believe not too caloric. I'm not a fan of the mini desserts however. I think if I am in the mood for a light lunch or a glass of wine and an appetizer I would head to Seasons 52 but if I am hungry and looking for a dinner spot I would never think to come here.

NEW FAV place on the mile! LOVE the piano player @ the bar! We have been several times now and the most memorable server so far has been Daniella, she rocked! Great service and this is my BIGGEST pet peeve! Since i am a snobby eater! I like what i like the way i like it, you know! Wine is always a great choice! I rather the bar "informal" side with outside sitting area than the "formal" dinner area.... THE FISH TACOS during lunch are fantastico! and the plum ripe tomato flat bread...DROOL! and top all the above goodness with (2 if you feel a sweet / sour tooth) Meyer Lemon dessert...ahhhh...LOVE in your mouth! nuff said!

Honestly, my wife wanted to try something new, which is a nice tradition we've started as of late. She had heard about this place from some family, and boy were they right about it. Fantastic food, REASONABLY priced (unlike most good food in Miracle Mile), and an atmosphere that will rival any of the Mile restaurants. Give this place enough time and it's bound to become a tourist must have, if you ask me. Since their menu varies seasonally, hard to tell if my recommendation will still be there when you go, but here goes. I had the Rainbow Trout, which I figured would be less tasty since it's not a native fish, but also was cheaper than some of the other seafood ($16). Honestly, I was REALLy surprised by how juicy and flavorful it was! Again, for a reasonable price!!

This place is great!! Everything is under 475 calories and majority of the dishes are organic. If you don't care about any of that - the food is extremely yummy. Their menu changes with the seasons and I think that's what keeps me coming back! Not only does their main course menu change but their drinks and dessert change as well. The flatbreads are a must. I've tried several things on the menu and everything is extremely tasteful. Don't forget to eat dessert! Great portion and great price. What I love about this place is that I don't leave feeling gross like I completely pigged out. The food is light, but filling at the same time. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to the next season. :)

i was a impressed with the decor and feel of the restaurant. dim lighting, cozy and tables far enough apart that it caters to some privacy. however as kelly o mentioned the fabric used to upholster the seats is outdated. i was a little underwhelmed with the food, but am genuinely excited to have a healthy option in the gables (which is otherwise a haven for steak houses and italian restaurants). i had the cuban flatbread which shockingly tasted exactly like a cuban sandwich. the stuffed mushrooms were awesome!! and the goat cheese ravioli was kind of small but delicious - you just really better like goat cheese, because the flavor is overpowering. had a taste of the chili which was one of the best ive ever had! i oredered the chocolate peanut butter mousse for dessert that i felt like licking the shot glass in came in because it was just that good!! overall the restaurant is nice, the service was eager (actually i was annoyed at how eager they were to clear our plates, even when there was still food on them) and the prices were fair. i think this is a great addition to the gables scene.

Went in for lunch on a Thursday, it was busy with business. I sat at the bar while I waited for my table and my friends to arrive. I ordered a Sunshine Martini, very delicious. They infuse their vodka and there are several types to try. We were seated promptly by the hostess, the server followed and was very nice and polite. We asked several questions and he was happy to give us plenty of info on the dish. Every item on the lunch menu is less than 475 calories which is nice if you are constantly dieting like I am. We ordered the caramelized crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, then proceeded to order. I had the fish tacos... they were delicious. My friend ordered the spicy chicken chile relleno which she let me try and it was great also. Just enough food to fill you up but not too excessive. Very nice atmosphere, helpful staff, very nice for anytime of the week.

First time there. Food was excellent,well prepared and quick service. Nice bar. The flatbreads were to die for.I couldn't believe each dish was under 475 calories. For those that seriously count calories this place should be your next dinner destination. Great caloric value. portions were just right and with the calorie savings I was able to have a dessert. We had swordfish, tuna tartar,scallops and trout, all of which were excellent choices. I can't wait to go back and eat more of their healthy and delicious choices.....and now for the deserts.. Our jaws dropped as they presented 12 transparent shot glasses, each filled with a unique and scrumptious dessert, we each ine dessert and we enjoyed every last bite. I have subsequently eaten there and its still great and exceeds expectations . It is so busy I have to sit at the bar. .....Sandor Lenner

The place is super nice...I love the decor, but most of all I love the food, we ordered appetizers, main course, salad and desert.I am sure that there is options for every appetite. They have a piano bar that makes the place even more likable. The atmosphere invites you to stay and taste the great organic selection, with low calories options. I really recommend this restaurant.

I really wanted to like this place when I walked in. The decor is very new school steakhouse with the dark wood and wine bottles everywhere. There is also a piano player which I thought was a nice touch. We got the flatbread with tomatoes and basil. It was subpar at best. The ends where burnt and the Parmesan cheese was also burnt. Next we had the roasted shrimp with pasta and the filet mignon. I tried the shrimp and it was delicious. I cannot say the same about my steak. It was low quality and rare in the center and well done on the outside. I also ordered the salad with raspberries and those where very good. Maybe this place is more of a salad and fish place. The mini desserts where very good and just the right size. The service was excellent and the staff was very accommodating. I really like the concept of this place where they keep in season and under 475 calories. I still don't know if I'll give them another chance.

I'll let eveyone else go on and on about the decor and food. I'm going to give you a tidbit that you can use on your next date to show you know a little something extra about this place. Notice the 52 etched onto the wine glasses? It's not just there to make sure you don't run off with the glass as a souvenir. Did you know that they etch the 52 on the wine glasses so that you will always get a consistent pour of 6 ozs regardless of the shape of the glass. :) I do love their mini-desserts. I'll take one of everything.

I love this place! I tried this place last weekend and already can't wait to go back. Both the food and the service were great. Anyone that goes must try the flatbreads. They're legit. The menu at seasons is interesting. First, it's seasonally inspired. Second, everything listed is under 475 calories. Nothing is low fat or low carb. It's just an appropriate portion.

A great place for a date, just make sure you do not share the entree and you have money to spend. The food was amazing but they serve too little to share. A little expensive as well but the service and restaurant it self was great.

Over Christmas break, I went here to meet some friends and catch up as well as try a new flavor in Coral Gables. I had already heard so many good things about this place that I was excited! But, I had hear that the service what somewhat slow. Depsite my hesitance, there we went... Dinner was great; I sampled the Maui Tuna Crunch Salad and loved it. The portion was perfect and not overwhelmingly large like in many other restaurants these days. The menu showed a selection of very healthy and tasty plates, but this is what caught my eye. I also, had a few glasses of wine, which were good, but a little on the expensive side. The bill was a little above what I like to pay for dinner, but all in all that was not my main complaint. Stay tuned so you can hear about the service! Our waitress was a lovely person; very sweet and attentive, but the service could not have been slower. Upon hearing that my friend wanted to receive the check as soon as possible, she proceeded to leave us waiting over 20 minutes to receive the check. While I realize the place was full that evening and they are or were a brand new restaurant working out the kinks, it's something the management should really anticipate and work against. Otherwise, I had a very pleasant evening and greatly enjoyed my meal. Specifically, while I was there I got a peek at their luxurious and spacious bar in a separate room entirely. I would like to try this out some time, hopefully soon. And, I may return for dinner in the future when I leave a little more time to wait and don't have my impatience stamped on my forehead :)

Everything about this place works... The service is perfect, the ambiance is amazing, the drinks are great and of course the food... It is such a pleasant experience to know that the food you are eating is healthy and not swimming is butter and fat. Some things t try... ... Stuffed Mushrooms ... Any Flat bread ... The Chili ... Any fish dish The menu is always changing like the seasons, so you will not get bored. You eat well and feel great after, what a novelty!!!

FIrst a warning - I got a parking ticket at 9:12 PM while enjoying my dinner at Seasons52. I was parked right outside the door. So parkers beware the CIty of Coral Gables is out fining you for parking while you are spending money in the local businesses..... at 9PM.... Really????? We had another great dinner at Seasons52 in Coral Gables. The service was excellent, the food as advertised, I had the salmon, prepared perfectly and tasty. We had a group of 11 ppl and all enjoyed their visit. As usual the mini desserts were great and a huge hit. Always a winner.

A good for you addition to Miracle Mile. I paid what looks to be the first of many visits to Seasons 52 this past Saturday. It was early so we had no problem grabbing a booth by the bar and proceeded to have a delicious and pleasant meal.Each of the dishes we tried were full of flavor and decent size portion (we were leary having heard this was a "healthy" spot. The Cuban flatbread (unique to this location) The goat cheese ravioli (so good) The fish tacos (yummy wheat tortilla and just enough kick) The tortilla soup (really tasty) The dessert are not only adorable, but delicious as well. All in all, I thought the menu was nicely varied and not overwhelming and I will certainly be back for more!

In a city where I am pretty consistently disappointed with service and quality, Seasons 52 is a very refreshing reminder that there are still some restaurants out there that get it. ***It should be noted that every dish on their menu is guaranteed to be 475 calories or less. They have extensive nutritional information on their website if you are closely monitoring your calorie intake. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by friendly staff that immediately took care of us. The decor was lovely and has a very warm, Colorado lodge feel. The staff is very attentive, very friendly and very capable. Their prices are very reasonable and you can make your meal as light or heavy as you like. The flatbreads are all delicious and would make a great light snack on their own. Their menu changes completely every 3 months to reflect what is in season and fresh at that time...an amazingly wonderful concept. They also have specials that change every week. The restaurant just feels healthy, fresh and overall...right. They have a lovely outdoor area where you can sit on a pleasant day or night and enjoy a glass of one of the 60 wines they offer by the glass (and of course a few flatbreads.) This is a place I very much look forward to returning to. As I mentioned before, they really got it right with the quality of service they provide...a rarity in Miami these days.

So I went to Season's 52 this past weekend with a large group of friends. I had never heard of it, but there are so many new restaurants popping up on the Mile lately, its hard to keep track of them. The restaurant has a nice upper scale ambiance, kind of like Carraba's. It is a chain that tries to feel like its not a chain. The theme of their menu is to use only fresh produce and meats that are in season. I would consider their menu to be American fusion of sorts. They were offering a pre-fixe menu this evening and I decided to go with it, just for the sake of being able to try a larger number of dishes. I started out with the mushroom caps stuffed with crab and shrimp, which I thought sounded good. When it came to us they were covered in mozzarella cheese and parsley, which made me apprehensive since seafood tends to be better when left to its own seasonings. The shrimp were half the size of cocktail shrimp and the tasted like sausage. It was quite odd to be eating shrimp, that looked like shrimp, but tasted exactly like sausage. It wasn't a good thing. Most everyone else in our group who ordered them thought they were pretty bad as well. One guy even joked about swallowing them whole with his beer because he was just hungry, however I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.... Since we were a large group (20 people) it understandably took awhile for our orders to arrive. Apparently they do not serve bread to ward off hungry lions at Season's 52. I really think any good restaurant should serve bread, its a great investment to keep customers from grumbling. The salad came next. It was a simple spinach salad with raspberries, gorgonzola cheese, and pinenuts. It had a vinagrette on it of some sort, it was actually quite sour and didn't really go well with the rest of the salad. Too many sour flavors and not enough sweet to balance it out properly. Again, fresh bread or croutons would work wonders here. I ordered the Salmon on a cedar plank for my entree and my husband ordered the Filet Mignon. My salmon was cooked to perfection and was lovely. Very interesting to see it cooked on a plank of cedar wood, I had never had salmon like this before. The meal came with steamed carrots, red potatoes, and steamed asparagus. Unfortunately they were not good. The carrots were bland, the potatoes were half way cooked, and the asparagus was tough and overcooked. The vegetables were only seasoned with the barest of salt and pepper. I think the chef wants you to appreciate the freshness of the vegetables and their natural flavors, which you probably could if they had been cooked properly. My husband's filet mignon was very good, nearly everyone else at the table ordered it as well. His vegetables had also been mistreated like mine, except for the mushrooms which were tasty. So he traded me his mushrooms for the half of my red potatoes that were cooked. The filet mignon came with a plum style barbeque sauce which I thought was a bit unconventional with a good quality steak. I had the mini Meyer lemon dessert in a cup and my husband had the Baklava. They were great and everyone else at the table loved their desserts. So the night ended well. The portions were full sized which is surprising as most restaurants try to skimp for pre-fix meals and the wait staff was pretty good. Their were a few small dings, it seemed they weren't used to managing large groups. Everyone had to ask for steak knives after their entrees arrived and the waitresses just slid them across the table without wrapping them in a napkin which I thought was a bit unsanitary. So a few pointers for a restaurant that is trying to be upscale. The food here is ok, but it seems like the menu was put together without testing it out on real people. Some things are good, but there is an overall blandness to most of the dishes which is disappointing since the idea of using seasonal/local foods seems like a good one. I would have much preferred going to Angelique which is also on the Mile and has excellent Euro fusion cuisine.

What a pleasant surprise. I was in the Miracle Mile area today around lunch and remembered hearing something about Seasons 52, so I thought I would stop by for a bite. I looked at the menu and thought 475 calories (everything is under 475 calories on the menu) - these must be some tiny portions! I was wrong. First, the chef brought out an amuse bouche of shrimp on top of a tropical salad. A very nice start. And quite the surprise considering that it was lunch. I then had the chipotle shrimp flat bread. Very good flavors - and honestly, a huge amount of it... and then the goat cheese raviolis came out. Once again, a very large portion and solid flavors. I'm shocked that these portions were under 475 calories - but apparently there is no frying and no butter in the preparation. Honestly, I didn't miss butter or frying. On top of it, the service was quite polite and attentive. The staff seem quite intent on ensuring everyone has a quality experience. I did sneak a peek at the dessert tray - and this is where portion control does kick in for the 475 calories... it all looked marvelous though... but shockingly I was full, and had a doggy bag to bring the extras home. Who would have thought?

I'm officially a fan of this tasty and healthy eatery. And I heart the fact that they change the menu every season. All about it. Try the mushroom flatbread, the burger and you can't leave without having the oreo dessert. Yumm!

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants, ever. Are you going to have to sit and wait forever for a table, even if you have a reservation? Yes. But it's so worth it. Once you're at a table they are super fast and take care of you. Last time we had Joel as our server and he was fantastic. Favorite drink: Strawberry Basil Fusion. Perfect hint of strawberry without being overly sweet and sugary. Tastes fresh. $11 which isn't all that bad considering they fill up your martini glass and then give you the shaker which has more drink in it. Yum. I also love that if you order wine at dinner the waiter will pour the glass at your table instead of doing it in the back. It's a nice touch. Favorite dish: Honestly- all of em! I've never had anything bad. These are my favorites: -Earthbound Farm's Organic Arugula Salad: big chunks of goat cheese, not too much dressing, love the beets -Caramelized Sea Scallops: last time I think there were 8 scallops on my plate cooked perfectly, i subbed spinach for the asparagus and it was sooo good -Tuna & Avocado Roll: this was on special when I went, just as good as anything I've had in a sushi restaurant -Spicy Chipotle Shrimp Flatbread: the smoky chipotle mixed with the sweet pineapple is so good Also, it's a sin if you don't get one of the mini indulgences. My favorites are the carrot cake and peanut butter chocolate ones.

A "very nice" experience overall. Very nice is the most impersonal term when describing food and probably the most overused words out of the servers mouth. Consistent with the feel of Coral Gables itself; artificial. The food however was tasty and appropriately priced for the flavor. Quantities quantities. I understand how they are able to sneak everything in under their calorie limit. ordered four appetizers total and two entrees for two people; leaving not a speck on any plate and eventually after an excess of chewing felt sated. Live piano player = WTF? is this a high end department store? piano is BEHIND the bar...... strange On a very positive note if you are looking for a table and a very negative note if you are sitting; the bar has booths and tables that are first come first serve. You have to walk around and see how far people are through their meal (which is where it is awkward to see people lingering and strategizing for your table) and hope you get lucky if you don't want to wait traditional style.... I was very lucky after being quoted 1.5 hours to wait less than 10 minutes. It did require me to postpone smiling so that I could sport my seriously don't even f*ing try it face....no one did try it.. and I got my table : ) I could feel disdain from a few servers who forgot they were servers and not models. Either that or they continue to suffer silently through the indignation from having to wait on people they find contemptible. Pretty servers who can smile through a massacre are not enough to convince me of anything. If you like everything all the time then you will love it here. If you are looking for amazing anything just keep looking. If you are trying to eat in a "very nice" atmosphere on the cheap... do it.. most expensive entree was only 25. And even with bitter servers the flavors of the food(which remain unaffected) are a fair trade for this price point.

Because of the short week, I had my regular lunch out with my boss and co-worker today. Together we all experienced the new Seasons 52 that just opened on Miracle Mile. I ordered the blackened fish tacos, a cappuccino, and couldn't turn down a double shot glass dessert of a mocha chocolate concoction thing once our server, Jeff, placed a large platter of an assortment of different desserts on our table and set up our doilies and spoons. Smart, Jeff. Smart. I thought everything was delicious and actually ate everything I was served! ..which makes me think most people wouldn't be satisfied with the portions at this restaurant considering I always eat half of what I'm served anywhere, usually. Everything here that is served is under 475 calories btw. I almost forgot-- you can make reservations online. Their site is user friendly and reservations can be made quite efficiently. (Word)

Everything on the menu is 475 calories or less and it all tastes fresh. The menus change with each season, offering ingredients that are in season. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, even if they are not assigned to your table. It was our first visit there and when the chef found out, he came personally to our table and gave us a complimentary shrimp appetizer. The manager came by to see how we were doing. Our waitress was wonderful, although she forgot my husband had mentioned it was my birthday. We weren't expecting anything except for them to sing happy birthday. She advised her manager of it, who then came to our table and apologized. It really was no big deal at all to us, yet they generously compensated us by taking all of the appetizers and desserts off of our bill, plus complimentary group pictures, and a $25 gift card! They totally exceeded our expectations.

I dined at seasons 52 recently and the food was definitely delicious, and all dishes are under 475 calories. The deserts were simply delectable and served appropriately in small cups, much like shot glasses. The service could use a little primping as the appetizers arrived before the wine and we had to ask for an ice bucket for our wine. Overall though, pretty good!

The restaurant is very nice inside. Quiet, classy! Nice wine selection, and the food was great! Lump crab stuffed mushrooms were amazing. Fillet Mignon and Pork loin cooked to perfection! Mini desserts are the perfect size and complement to the meal. Overall experience... perfect!

We are now sitting at the bar at Seasons 52. The service is great the food........not so hot. We both had the Mediterranean special fish. Tasteless snapper served with roughly 10 miniature shrimp on a bed of arugula and tabbouleh we asked for salt and pepper hot flakes anything to give this over done tasteless fish some energy some taste..... Something, anything. Seasons 52 is one of my favorites. Stay away from the specials until they find a new chef. Chef special is not.....

The atmosphere and ambiance of Seasons 52 was great, cozy feeling yet upscale. I always appreciate a place that has lower calorie options, especially one that has a whole menu full. Not a whole lot to choose from if you're a vegetarian (a plate that will fill you up anyway). I ordered the spinach and raspberry salad (small plate-not available as an entree) and it was very good. I also had a side of the corn on the cob - delicious and very well done where it didn't stick in your teeth. I am not impressed with the service. We had a table of 8 and you could just tell by our waitress' expressions she was overwhelmed and/or just annoyed to be working with a larger group (even though we made no extra/out of the ordinary requests). She didn't even bother to fill up anyone's waters or drinks. She just dropped off the check and bounced out of there. I always drink at least 2 glasses of water for dinner so I was feeling very thirsty and had to ask someone else. I would have expected better service out of this restaurant.

Not many restaurants like this, great location, great food, service and ambiance. Lets just start out with everything on the menu is less than 475 calories but sure does not taste that way. Menu is seasonal, hence "Seasons" 52. I have ate her numerous times at both the regular dining room and at a private chef's tasting table and menu. This is one of my go-to spots in Miami. I never feel guilty after leaving here, always full like my eating mission was accomplished but never overly stuffed that I need to unbuckle my belt and I love to eat. They feature a nice open kitchen so you know what is happening in the kitchen which for me is a major bonus. I recommend any of the flat bread pizzas for the appetizers they are out of this world ( I usually order 1 or 2 to take home after my meal.) Basically anything on the menu is going to be excellent, good wine list (most wines are sustainable). Make sure you do not leave without getting the shot glass sized desserts, the waiter/waitress comes to your table with over a dozen desserts all in shot glasses (less than 475 calories) all are exquisite. Overall great pick with plenty of options for the people who are conscious about what they are actually putting into their body.

Parking in the Gables on the weekend is always an issue. The interior was well designed and the decor was elegant. The wait staff was on top of the organic theme and noted that all entrees were less than 475 calories. Appetizers: The chicken stuffed Poblano pepper arrived a little cold but was still good. The crab & shrimp stuffed mushrooms were perfect. I ordered the Tuna med rare and it arrived medium +. The pork tenderloin was also overdone. The Sinskey pinot was not stored on its side and was served warmer than it should have been. They did provide a decanter upon request. The ambiance is excellent and our server was very attentive. The pianist playing pop tunes was a nice touch. Might be back.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Miami! All the dishes are super tasty, fresh and under 475 calories! It does't get any better than that. There's also a piano player that sings and plays piano at the bar, which makes for a great ambiance. Who does't love live music? The service is consistently good, the drinks are yummy, and the food never disappoints. They also change the menu according to the season, so there's always new items to try. I love the bbq chicken salad, and the flatbreads! You have to try a flatbread if you go! I also recommend that you try the Avaleda Vino Vherde, it's a white wine with a hint of sparkle/bubble, it's delicious!

You know, nothing was terrible but nothing was great. We won't be back because the prices really don't go with the so-so food. I'm a really small eater and even for me the portions were tiny. Sorry guys...your money is better spent somewhere else.

I love Seasons 52 in Fort Lauderdale, when I visited this location in Coral Gables my meal was disappointing. The flatbreads were good, but my main course cold, and tasteless. It made me not want to go back to Seasons 52, and that's a shame, because I was a fan for a long time.

Been meaning to write a review for this place, and have yet to go back But Yay! I'm a fan! Its a tasty spot for the health conscious and taste conscious. I had the goat cheese raviolis, which were light, fluffy and goat-cheesy. How on earth could it e less than 450 calories??? Who knows, don't ask - don't tell - just eat it! I also tried a few of the flatbreads which are also low calorie and yummmmsville. The Cuban one was really tasty and another one with mushrooms was quite light and flavorful. Short review because it's been so long since I've been there, but I know I have to make my way back soon!

this place is the definition of a well-run restaurant. the food is healthy, fresh, and they never get my order wrong!!! the wait can sometimes be long for a table, but they generally honor reservations very well. one time when we waited for awhile, the manager gave us gift cards and apologized profusely. THAT is how you get repeat customers. i get here whenever i have a chance! the dessert shots are so perfectly portioned so you don't overdo it... and the drinks are delicious as well.

Food under 475 calories? Good food under 475 calories? Great food under 475 calories? Plus nice wine selection! My dinner at Seasons 52 was all three of those. Certainly, it was food. Clearly, it was good, but only some of it was great. The Crab/Shrimp Mushrooms were delicious, maybe not as delicious as the cheese on the serving pan that I saw every table picking at when the mushrooms were all gone...deelish! The pork chops I got were pretty standard, not overly tasty but certainly good. The polenta that paired with it was actually really tasty, a good sub for a mashed potato puree. The rest of the table loved their meals and the ambiance, presentation of food and SERVICE does speak gourmet. My wife thought the Tuna Salad she got was more than fair in portion size and very tasty and a friend had a delicious looking filet mignon. We will be back and when I try something different, I hope to see another star, it's what I expect of the place.

I can't think of a better place to spend New Year's Eve!! This is our second year celebrating the big night out at Seasons 52, and thus far, it's been nothing but excellence! The seared ahi tuna (appetizer) was better than I expected... I followed that up with a caesar salad, which was just as good as I thought it would be. Our waiter recommended a nice Pinot Noir, which although on the rather pricey side was some of the best wine I've ever had! My boyfriend had the rainbow trout, and I opted for the pork medallions; both were spot on and very flavorful! To finish off the what seemed like a hundred course meal we each had a little dessert cup (epically priced at just $2.50 for flavor!)... The peanut butter cup had my mouth doing backflips! And with a constantly changing menu, you can NOT go wrong at Seasons 52!!
The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because the flatbread, wine, and dessert were phenomenal! Other than that, the food was bland. I ordered the spicy tandoori chicken skewers, and there was nothing spicy about them. My mom ordered the pork tenderloin, and it was cooked well but tasteless! I probably won't be going back again, unless it's for a flatbread!

I cannot believe they put a Seasons 52 in Miami! I love this place. The menu never gets old because it changes with the season and everything on the menu is under 475 calories. But you wouldn't believe it. All entrees are perfectly portioned and extremely delicious. You won't come across anything bland, tasteless, or over seasoned. The service is also amazing. If you are in the Coral Gables/Miracle Mile area make sure you stop here for lunch or dinner and prepare for a delicious meal.

Ate here last night for the first time and had a very enjoyable evening. The space is quite nice, with a beautiful main dining room and some private rooms off to the side. Bar area is great with lots of cozy booths and a piano player. Food and service were top notch. When you order wine by the glass, they bring the bottle to the table and offer you a sip first to make sure you like it, which is a very nice touch. All the dishes are low calorie and the prices are fair. They were packed on a Wednesday night so it seems the concept is a hit. Loved the mini desserts..only $2.50.

Not much to say here, it's ok. Food was ok, ate the scallops. Was suppose to come with pasta, but didn't. Came with couscous instead. Really boring plate, but tasty. Started with the flat bread and it was as if it was from California Pizza. Didn't stand out one bit. Really wasn't impressed with the food. Was hoping for a Flemings sort of vibem, but was about a few steps below that.

kristy f.
Not a fan. First of all, we sat at our table for 15-20 minutes before a server came to our table. Before someone even brought over water. No one even took our drink order, i had to finally call someone over to order a bottle of wine. And why have a gluten free menu if your not going to take it seriously. 7 of us went for dinner, 2 of us have to eat gluten free. But when the food came, no one knew which dishes were actually the gluten free ones! Needless to say, I left very sick.... I also thought the salmon i had was mediocre at best. At the end, the server was even rushing us out so they could re-sit the table! -disappointed

This is by far my favorite restaurant. My hubby and I had a great time. It was the perfect blend between casual and romantic. We had the Cuban Pita and my Hubby had a filet mignon, I had pork and everything was just to die for. We also had a bottle of wine which was delicious! The best part is that if you are on a diet every plate is under 475 calories. Who can beat that. Did I mention how great our waiter was?

I tried it because I got a $25 dining card from Amex and after going online to look at what it was I decided to try it for lunch. I went today at 3:30ish and the place was empty. Its an odd time to have lunch so I didn't think much of it. We sat outside and there was another table there with what seemed like the only other occupied table in the place. We were handed the menus when we walked in but it took a while for the server to come take our order. We ordered water which was brought over promptly and then I ordered a seared tuna app and a grilled wild salmon for my entree. My sister ordered an an app of some beans and mushrooms as well as an ahi tuna salad with salmon substituted for the tuna. The food took awhile to come out which is why I started looking around a little more and noticed there were like 6 tables at most that had people and the one next to us had already eaten. I wondered why our food was taking so long but if it was as good as I hoped I could forget the time it took to get my food. My seared tuna came and it was alright. I finished it and then after a while longer the rest came out. My salmon was the single worst salmon I've ever had. I wanna say it was an old piece of salmon since it smelled and tasted really fishy, which fresh salmon never should. It was on the specials menu and I know restaurants use this tactic to get rid of old food but mind you this entree came in at a hefty cost of $28 so I was thinking it would obviously be fresh, hence why I ordered it but boy was I wrong. I'm going back to avoiding fish on specials menus like the plague. My sister's app was forgettable, she took a few bites and left it. Her salad with the salmon substitution was good. Her non-wild salmon was better than mine and the piece was just as big. Her plate was only $14. I wouldn't have even paid that for mine. I wanted a beer and our server came by to the table next to us a few times while we were waiting for our food but didn't look our way once even though I kept looking at her and then saying excuse me when she would dart back inside from that table. She finally came by when someone from the kitchen brought out our food and I ordered my beer. I had practically finished my dish when my beer came. I kept scratching my head as to why the service was so bad even though the restaurant was practically empty. I'm surprised because of all the good reviews on here, especially some praising my servers excellent service. Service in this country tends to not be great which I've gotten used to but this one was just absolutely horrible especially given that the place was empty. My personal recommendation based on this experience, walk down two blocks to chicken kitchen and enjoy a good healthy cheap lunch there but if you want a nice restaurant, I wouldn't try this particular one. $75 for 2 people before tip considering what we got for it is an insult. I was half glad I had the $25 dining card and left a 10% tip. If our server hadn't at least brought quickly the water at the beginning and then espresso and the check at the end, she would've gotten no tip from me. Service: 1/5 Food: 1/5 for my wild salmon but 0/5 if you factor in the price. I have been to a few places that have made me want to start an account to review it on here because of how bad it was and seasons 52 was the one that actually made me do it, this is my 1st review. Its supposedly healthy seasonal food but I don't care what the theme is, when your seafood tastes old and you charge up the ying yang for it you won't be seeing me again.

Awhile ago I walked by this place while I was on a Random walk and said to myself " this place looks very nice only just walking by. Well two months later I end up Meeting a server there whose name is Sonia. She is a bartender / server. She told me all about this place and really made me want to come and really check it out. So I decided to take the trip to check it out! Have not been disappointed yet. The Tuna & avocado roll was simple but nothing shy of perfect. The flavors, textures, the way the rice was cooked, and the nori paper instead of traditional nori. The sous chef came out and talked to me for a few brief moments. Its been a great lunch experience so far! You watch the servers pass by they are all smiling the line is working fast and communicating like a well run kitchen should. The burger just came to the table. Presentation was very unique, tiered plates. It added a very cool look. Something I might try to replicate at my job. The burger was cooked perfect and tasted amazing! (the buffalo burger) with a side of brussel sprouts, although I like them caramelized, were cooked through but needed just a hint of salt to bring out the flavors in them. All and all it's a great place! Keep up the great work Season!!! I will be back!

Season's 52 is a rare finding in Miami. It's both healthy and delicious with fantastic menu offerings. We ordered the shrimp stuffed mushroom caps for an appetizer and filet mignon (perfectly cooked to order) for my entree. Both were well balanced and scrumptious. For dessert, we ordered a couple of minis including the pecan pie mini which was by far the best. Do yourself a favor and order the pecan pie mini. As an added bonus, the staff really makes you feel welcome. They're glad to have you and keep the highest standards for the food they put out. We have been back several times since our first visit and it's always been fantastic food and service!

First impression of this restaurant is very good...great Atmosphere, very good food and excellent service. We had a problem with our meals and the manager was at our table in less than a minute, very apologetic, more than an adequate response. If we lived here, we'd probably eat here at least every couple of weeks. Rotating menu is very clever and ensures a quality experience.

The only reason this place got 3 stars instead of 4 was because of the slow service. I sat there for 10-15 minutes waiting for a server...while the server who was outside passed me 3 times at least without even acknowledging me. Now, I know they were super slow...it was lunch time, it was just me and one other guy sitting outside. HOWEVER I do believe that it is the whole place's fault when a guest doesn't get greeted, or gets downright ignored. I was sat by the hostess - who should have let the server know that her section was seated. AND the manager was there..saw me get seated, then proceeded to not tell the server I was there. The other server who continued to come out and check on her guest also could have let my server know I was there. They place a coaster on your table so everyone knows you've been greeted....so it should have been obvious that I had not been. I had to flag down the server who was ignoring me, and then wait another 5 minutes for my server to finally show up. She wasn't even really friendly or apologetic. Just, "Are you ready to order?" No, actually, I've had time to study the menu and now I have questions! She did oblige and get me samples of both a soup and a wine (the wine selection is great, btw) and was relatively speedy the rest of my lunch. Still though. The whole thing took 1.5 hours. Who wants to spend 1.5 hours at lunch??? There are other places on Miracle Mile I'll go to first before visiting this place again. Yeah, it's delicious and beautiful, but I really hate being ignored.

A caveat: I am not much of a patron of franchises so my critique may be biased. My hypothesis: Americans are becoming obsessed with the notion that knowing your caloric intake determines whether you are deemed "healthy." I however do not subscribe to the calorie-counting culture; therefore, this bistro dishes are not worthy of celebration. The day that I wake up obese is the day that I will reconsider my position.. Overall, I walked away more impressed with the concept, wine, and the service than the food. I have been there twice for dinner out of convenience. I tried the tomato and shrimp flatbread and both times was more excited by the description than the sabor. Perhaps, they are cooking with canola instead of butter or olive oil to keep the calories down... For entrees, I tried the scallops and Pork tenderloin and it was good but not delicious. My friend had the Rainbow trout and we agreed that was the best entree. As for the desserts, the novelty supersedes the quality. Also, getting to the bathroom is a bit of a bottleneck. What I do like is that it is low-lit, the flatbread and desserts are easy to share so they score high on the "fun factor." Also, both the kitchen and the servers are open especialy when I inquired if the scallops were wet or dry-

Had dinner there for the first time last night. Simple healthy menu items with every item including dessert no more than 475 calories. Besides their food, the staff is incredibly friendly and pleasant. One of the friendliest if not the friendliest staff of any restaurant I have been to in Miami. Lorena waited on us and she was a pleasure. Definitely worth checking out.

My initial experience was good at this restaurant, is a different approach, where they try to focus on healthy food and everything below 475 calories but without leaving any of the good ingredients out. Staff is super helpful, the place is rather more classy and traditional than Miamesque, my experience was over a business lunch so wasn`t able to pay attention to all details or to over order in order to enter Yelp mode. Initially Ill give them 3 stars, just because they didnt surprise my palate, but Im completely open and looking forward to come back again and hopefully change it to a higher rating.

I have become a regular to this place, you will find me at the bar enjoying a live "piano man" after 6p and a friendly bar staff. The food is fresh, tasty and healthy. I have to second Jessica's comments "The menu at seasons is interesting. First, it's seasonally inspired. Second, everything listed is under 475 calories. Nothing is low fat or low carb. It's just an appropriate portion." I especially like the flatbreads and the salads. In short it is friendly enough to frequent and enjoy a good meal and great atmosphere.

so i finally made it out to season 52 last night after a networking event and i was quite satisfied. the atmosphere is fun and somewhat loud, but quite enough to have a nice conversation. a definite first date type of place. keep in mind that their under 500 calorie claim is for EACH item. the wines were reasonably priced, except for one ( priced at $90) the tuna crunch salad is amaziing! there flatbreads are great! and the stuffed mushroom with shrimp is great! and the deserts were awesome remember that 500 calorie claim??? well add it up... salad = 475 mushroom =550 flat bread = 475 desert = 375 totals 1,875 calories! i felt like such a fat ass! but at the end of the night, it was a good time. i'll definitely be visiting them agian and reservations are a must!!!!!

Went there for a date night with my wife. Very nice!. Totally new restaurant. Decor and ambiance gives a northeastern feel to the place. Great service. Good food but the fillet Mignon, my wife had, was great,( "melts in your mouth-great"). If you go; reserve thru Yelp- it's a great service. As I left my home, logged on to yelp, got address, reserved and when I got there we sat right away and felt like they knew me already. I will take there some Friends next time.

The place itself is lovely and the orange martini is great. Now everything else was awful. The bartender was rude and aloof as was the snooty piano player. I requested a song and she ignored me but a man flirted with her and he got his song right away!! The food was a disappointment.

I recently had a group dining event for about 50 guests at Seasons 52, to celebrate our marriage. We didn't want a church wedding, but instead wanted to have an event to bring our families and friends together. We were choosing between Seasons, Joe's Stone Crab, and Smith & Wollensky; but ended up on Seasons because of the healthier food, and we're glad we did (after the night was over, we realized that it was more than the food that made the night awesome, details below). The room: We rented out the Napa and Sonoma rooms, and there were four rectangular tables set up seating at least 10 people comfortably. The space was perfect for 50 guests; it wasn't too crowded, everyone described it as being "cozy". The decor was nice - same as the decor in the main dining area, and had a wall full of wine bottles which was cute. The lighting was a little brighter than in the main dining area, but it was perfect because of the type of event. Also the temperature in the room was perfect; I've been to places where its too cold or just hot, but none of that was an issue the whole night. The service: Our event started at 7pm, but my husband, myself and a few friends showed up about and hour early to set up some table arrangements. The manager and executive chef came over to meet us and told us if there was anything we needed to make the night perfect to let them know. We were also introduced to the wait staff assigned to us for the night - Enrique, Camille, Betsy, and one more whom I can't remember the name. They asked how we wanted the night structured, and we agreed on cocktails, appetizers, main course, dessert. Enrique was great and coordinated timing details such as when we wanted him to fire up the flatbreads while we were having cocktails and told us how long it would take so that we wouldn't be waiting too long for it; he was checking in with us at different points during the night to see how we were doing, etc. Overall the waiters did a phenomenal job in taking care of everyone, and was just on top of everything. The food: There are different menu options for group dining, and we chose the Cabernet Sauvignon menu. It came with flatbreads, appetizers, salad, main course, and dessert. It was served to us family style on silver platters, and it was delicious!!!!! Everyone was commenting on how great the food was. Overall: It was a great experience though the combination of ambiance, food, and service. Highly recommend Season's 52 if you need to have a flawless event.

I love the food at Seasons 52, however the bartenders are very rude at this location. My husband and I had dinner at this location over a month ago. We decided to have another drink after dinner, so we went to the bar. I took my martini from dinner with me. A bartender came up to my husband and asked him if he wanted something to drink. He ordered his cocktail. I then noticed that 3 bartenders kept looking at me and then talking to each other. One of them kept staring, so I asked if there something wrong. She said we didn't know where your drink came from. I made a joke and said across the street. Hello it's in your glass. She didn't seem to like it. I said you don't have to be so rude and her response was "you don't need to be so upset". She kept it going for at least a minute. Needless to say. I didn't have another drink. I would also like to add that we were there a month, or so prior to this visit. Our waiter was awesome. I would recommend not sitting next to the kitchen because there was a friend crawling on our waiter's arm. He handled it very well. We overlooked this because things happen, however rude service is not acceptable. I will enjoy Seasons 52 at another location.

Started lunch with a bang! The rosemary and parmesan flatbread was delicious! I had the goat cheese ravioli with veggies (asparagus, tomato, mushrooms). Flavorful and filling. Closed it off with a mini-dessert (a dessrt shot) of key lime, which was also good although I always prefer a bit more tart in my key lime. Service from door through table was excellent. This place is spot on for lunch.

Saturday Dec 3rd, the 4 of us friends went to Seasons 52. Valet greatly appreciated. Great atmosphere, nice setting restaurant to enjoy the best cosmopolitan and martini drinks. The bar tender was great! Dinner Nice booth, comfortable, clean, nice decor. We need the flashlight app to read the menu but love the lighting so don't change it but you could simply change your fonts on the menus. The staff was great. The food..., well the meats were perfectly cooked and tasted great! I would put less garlic in the mashed potatoes served with my lamb and ad a chop of lamb, 3 is simply not enough and I'm a 120 pd girl. The appetizer my girl friend and I had was the crab and shrimp stuffed mushroom witch was all wrong ....a little mushroom cap at the bottom, 2 hole shrimps under-cooked over and no crab, topped with cheese in a escargot dish. No seasoning, it tasted nothing. My husband had the Ahi tuna ... excellent. The service was fast, they brought the main course while our appetizers plates were still in front of us. Selection of wine is ok but no Italians...no Brunellos di Montalcino 2006, witch is my favorite. Over all it was a great evening 2 bottles of wine and a great dinner for $400.00 for the 4 of us. I will go back and recommend it , I love there concept of the healthy and seasonal cooking. Tanya

Went back and tried a buffalo burger this time with a side salad. Missed the quintessential french fries a bit but my first experience with a game meat was fantastic. I will caveat my reviews by saying i have never actually paid for a meal here (always makes it better) but so far still a fan!

Enjoyed the piano player within the bar. Nice loungy vive today. Excellent mojito, cosmo, bbq chicken salad and fish risotto. Oak wood buring in the background smells so good!

My girlfriends and I were looking for a nice place to go out to dinner, and this restaurant exceeded our expectations. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was very good, very attentive but never annoying, and the food well... it was incredible!!, It is a seasonal menu and all the entrees are under 475 calories, and don't you think that the portions are small because they are not... And then they have this little desserts that are mini versions of like pecan pie, or key lime pie, etc... So if you are like me that have a sweet tooth you can have your delicious desserts and don't feel guilty about it. So great place highly recommend everybody to try it.

A very nice option for gluten-free/celiac safe dining. The menu is pretty limited but I have never gotten sick from eating here. They appear to be very careful with their preparations of gluten-free foods. I am also dairy-free and since there is no butter in their kitchen, you can be sure that you won't get hidden sources of dairy after telling them to leave off cheese or sour cream. Always crowded and a little on the noisy side, which is why I don't give it five stars.

I have been to about 5 or 6 Seasons 52 restaurants and love them all. This is the first time in the Coral Gables store and the atmosphere was very nice with a young lady playing the piano. I had a pasta dish and glass of wine. Both were very nice and the pricing was on point. The service was a little spotty and cost them the 5th star. When taking inventory the bartender and counter should try to work together a little more so we do not have to flag her down. My 2 friends also enjoyed themselves and we will surely come again.

Went here for lunch for the first time yesterday. Wow. Food was amazing, service was great, it was clean and classy. I ordered the Mayan snapper, which I normally wouldn't order at a restaurant only because it's usually hard to get fresh fish that's cooked properly. This snapper was cooked to perfection and it tasted clean, very fresh, and was seasoned just right. I almost passed on dessert because I was so full but then our waitress came around with the display of desserts and we couldn't say no. I got the carrot cake and hubby got the pecan pie. Heaven!!! This is my new favorite restaurant.

I'm a HUGE fan. Have been here for dinner about four times already. The flatbreads are amazing. Mediterranean Shrimp Salad was awesome. Their scallops...to die for! I mostly come back for the Lake Sonoma Cabernet and entertainment of John Shack, piano player extraordinaire. Skip even making a reservation, and scope out the bar area, which is first come first serve and even has booth tables. Try to out-drink Sophia, and enjoy some eye-candy with Dan's hotness. Overall, great ambiance, great food, great people serving it...it doesn't get any better than this, people!

I started to give this place two stars since I went there a Thursday ago and service a was perfect and came back with my parents to an experience that started out awful was saved by the manager and then ruined again. I am giving it three stars because of Jeffrey the manager for trying. First off, I made my reservation at the desk the week before and requested a certain booth and waitress. I didn't get either and all I did in between was move my reservation back. This would have been fine except when I mentioned this to the hostess she snootily told me "Well, we don't have that in the reservation." Um, yes I realize that this is why I brought it to your attention. A more appropriate response would have been I am so sorry we do not have any more booths available tonight but I will make sure that it is in the commuter for next time which is what the manager eventually said. I come to Coral Gables to get away from South Beach attitude. We arrived early and for the first time ever I had to wait until my actual reservation time they almost always get you in. That part was fine but then when we were finally sat it took more than 20 minutes for a waiter to acknowledge, introduce themselves or bring us water. I finally flagged down a waitress whose table it wasn't and she got our waitress then she and the other waitress Diana stood next to our table and whispered to each other about how we were complaining (however they didn't whisper loud enough for me not to hear-clearly an amateur move and I was able to hear every single word which included things like "They say you didn't come introduce yourself and give them water and the other waitress being defensive and saying its not true." I am sure these conversations happen but do it outside the customers earshot. Finally, the manager came over and apologized and brought out our appetizers and soup fast. When he was paying attention everything was good. Towards the end of the meal it took forever -no one checked on our food, the check took a long time to come out and they originally forgot our hot water and tea. I am hoping this was just an off night for them since the week before I came and everything was perfect including my waitress. I really didn't appreciate the attitude from the hostess-the waitress eventually was nicer but still not that competent.

Joel was the most attentive and knowledgeable server I have had in a long time. From the moment we sat down he made us feel at home. We started with the Wine Tasting Special they have which is $15.00 per person ( this is only till 6pm) This includes a small tasting of 3 wines. Once you taste you choose 1 for a Full Glass and it comes with a Flat bread. We had the Garlic Chicken and Steak and Cremini it was delicious. We then participated in the Miami Spice Menu. The Menu was 4 Courses, I had the Tuna & Avocado Roll which was very flavorful. I then had the Steak Soup which was delicious and for the entree i chose the filet mignon which had the most amazing oaky and smoky and grilled flavor. I am a big steak person and I was in love with this steak, it was accompanied with veggies and mash potatoes. And we ended with the dessert shot which I had the Key lime Pie. All great selections and to top it all off they had a pianist playing in the back ground. I recommend this restaurant to any one in the Coral Gables area looking for a culinary delight and amazing service. You will walk out like we did with a smiling face and a full tummy. Thank you Joel for reminding us great service still exist. We will be back!

Everything on the menu is less than 475 calories. So don't order wine or beer or you'll blow your diet! They are know for their flat breads. Try the garlic chicken. As for entree, I had the cedar plank salmon. It was moist, HOT and cooked perfectly. We got there early and sat at the bar before dinner. I've never seen a piano behind the bar area. Yep, you heard me. The bartenders walk around someone playing a piano while they serve drinks. The bar was relatively empty and thus quiet. And if the flatbreads and salmon don't fill you up, you'll have room for dessert served in a shot glass for $2.50. You get a taste of one of their delicious desserts at about the 1/4 of the size. Genius move to serve them in the small size via the shot glass as a vessel.

This was my 1st visit. I had called ahead to make sure it was child friendly, I have 2 (3 year and a 1 1/2 years), the response was yes it is. It might be but not on a Friday night. It's very dark and no crayons to entertain kids, but that said everything else was fantastic. My son loves veggies and the chicken and broccoli dish was perfect for him and at the end they made him a fruit cut which was great. Our server was very knowledgable and great with recommendations especially when I had little time to look at the menu with my 2 little ones. The wine he selected for my dinner was spot on. I wish I could remember his name he was great. He worked Friday June 10, party of 5 we were seated close to kitchen and my son had chicken and broccoli he deserves a pat on the back. Can't wait to visit you again when I'm in Miami.

Highly recommend you check out this restaurant. A group of us went there yesterday for a friend's birthday lunch and the experience was great! In addition to fresh, delicious food, they took a group shot of us, printed the photo and gave it to us in a nice folder, as a memento, plus the birthday celebrant received a card. They REALLY care about their service. And with large groups, they give you an itemizes tab, with each person's individual orders separated as a subtotal, making it much easier to collect from each diner. If you have a group of friends or colleagues, you MUST check Seasons 52 out!

Delicious and the service was spot on. Each plate under 475 calories, but perfectly proportioned. Price for a nice lunch is really good. Had the spicy chicken stuffed pepper and it was amazing (this may change since the menu is always changing). I am definitely going back, and soon.

I agree with another poster here, the food is very healthy but if your hungry this is not the place to eat. Very small portions, but if your on a diet it works. If your hungry goto Houstons. Oh ya "killer service" ......lol

I wrote a review a long time ago, describing Seasons 52 as the best birthday experience I could have ever asked for. However, that was until we celebrated my husband's birthday there this past Friday night...this was even better!!! We sat in the piano bar/lounge since it's a more laid back atmosphere over there and we love live music. We had John the piano player last time on my birthday, and we were so excited to see him again! We COULD NOT believe that he instantly remembered our wedding song. As soon as we said hi to him, he greeted us back with the song and I almost cried! Everyone loved his energy and music selection! At the end of the night, he came around the bar and said hello to us, remembering our names! Unbelievable! Sarah and Jesus were so quick with the drinks and the food was delicious as always. The whole evening couldn't have been more perfect for my husband's birthday. Thank you again Seasons 52...nothing short of great. Stephanie

I went Seasons 52 with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The flatbread was really good...especially the flatbread one. But the most amazing of all that we tried was the vegetable platter. The flavor combinations were great.. I would definitely recommend the place especially to people looking for good vegetarian food.

Love the ambiance...the wide walk in doorway and the FLATBREAD! Crunchy just like I like it...And this may sound strange but I like the feel of the tables...smooth...and the just right height for dining pleasure...not too low with the chin on the table syndrome...seats comfy and even the barstools amenable for foot comfort...service wonderful...Houston's look out!

We just finished dinner. The food was horrible. Tuna tar tare was not fresh and had zero flavor. I ordered the sesame crusted tuna, probably the worst I have ever had. My husband ordered the free range veal porterhouse. It was tough as leather. The flavors were completely mismatched. Lastly, my poor daughter's flat bread was mediocre to say the least. How do you get cheese, bread and marinara wrong? Will definitely not return. Very disappointing!

This was an enjoyable dining experience. The concept of the resturant is that everything on the menu is supposed to be under 475 calories and the menu changes according to the seasons. Ordered all of the flatbreads in the appetizer section and also the raw tuna, I was quite satisfied with the taste of the food for being supposedly healthy. For my main entree, I ordered the Mayan Cobia, fish native to the Florida waters which was very tasty. Fish was light and flaky with good flavors. I didnt understand teh srilachi in the sauce though but it was good. For desert, i had the Pumpkin Pie with Gingerbread crust. Our party also ordered a red wine which was delicious. Funny since we're drinking CA wine in FL. I would definetly recommend this place. The only thing I would advise is to find parking somewhere as we ended up spending over $8.00 just on the meters outside.

Good value for money. Excellent service. Flat bread appetizer hit the spot. Salmon was prepared just right. Side vegtables very tasty. Nice concept on having mini-desserts and worth the $2.50 charge. Suggest making a reservation on weekend.

Oh how I was hoping I was going to like this place. While searching for a restaurant on yelp, I stumbled upon seasons 52 and noticed it had just opened. We decided to try it out. The restaurant looks beautiful inside and out, including a beautiful bar. The service is also pretty attentive. However, if you are looking for great food, this is not the place. After looking at the menu, neither of us found anything that really called our attention. Then we noticed it, the small disclaimer at the top of the menu. "all items on menu are under 500 calories." Here we go. We ordered a chicken flatbread which was probably the highlight of the meal. We then ordered the stuffed mushrooms as I am usually a huge fan of these, but I was very disappointed. Not only were they were tasteless, but they were burning in temperature. Then for the main course I really couldn't decide but opted for the scallops. The scallops themselves were ok, however the asparagus and the round pasta were not tasty. The spicy chile relleno was not bad but overall I would not go back to this place unless for only drinks. In my opinion, the menu should have more options even if it needs to stay on the healthy side.

Went for lunch with my sister and 2 year old son. The restaurant is nice but I was a little disappointed when I was told that there were no more high chairs, as they do not have that many. We were given a booth to somehow compensate for the high chair situation. When I asked for a children's menu or at least children options, they did not have any. The food was good but not very child friendly. I would rather have lunch at Houston's.

We went to this place two weeks ago and it was really good from start to finish. My only complaint is that it's VERY loud. We were in a booth and I can only imagine how it would have been out at an open table. Our waiter, Marco, was excellent and very professional. He kept his eye on us without hovering, knew everything about everything on the menu and was efficient. The kitchen was pushing food out quickly so we got our entree before finishing the salads but it wasn't terrible. My choice was the pork tenderloin, which was perfectly cooked and moist. The flatbreads were delish, the wine list was good and the little desserts are the perfect end to a good meal. This past weekend, we went to a Seasons 52 in Central Florida and had another excellent experience. I ordered the salmon this time and it was so mild and tasty. My dinner mates had trout and said it was perfectly cooked. Though the place was packed, it was less noisy as the piano person's music was toned down. We'll definitely return to any Seasons 52 anywhere.

I was happy to hear that Seasons 52 was opening in Coral Gables and looked forward to going there. I love their concept; however, I don't know if the execution always meets my expectations. I have been there for lunch twice and both times, the service was very good and attentive. Atmosphere is muted, with lots of dark wood. The bar seemed to be popular with tables outside. Where I think this restaurant misses getting 5 stars is the food; it's good but not great. I had the vegetable soup that was ok, but the bowl was only half-full; I suppose it's to keep the calorie count down. Other lunch items I had were the chicken caesar sandwich on pita with a side salad and the barbeque chicken salad. In both cases the chicken was very tender and of high quality. Salads were nice with high quality ingredients. But there was nothing special or savory about the dishes and their flavors. Good, but not great. Coffee and desserts were very good.

Holy mother of flatbreads!! FINALLY checked this place out after months of wanting to go and it definitely did NOT disappoint. The decor is warm and cozy with a fire in the foyer and great lighting throughout. Service was impeccable, the two times we were there we were seated promptly and waited on extremely quickly. Drinks and water were out in no time. Our waiter(s) were very knowledgeable regarding the menu as well as the extensive wine list. Being a HUGE wino, I love the fact that there are some obscure wines there. I had the opportunity to try out a couple of new reds based on waiter recommendations and was very impressed. We had the steak and crimini mushroom flatbread for appetizer as well as the chili and OMG they were amazing. This coming from a NON mushroom lover. It was so good that I ordered a second one for lunch the next day. On one occasion I had a pork chop over sweet potato mash that was out of control and the other day a mahi, also outstanding. Dessert was pecan pie on one day and key lime the other. Both were the right portion to satisfy my sweet tooth without making me feel like a fat ass. :) Overall I loved Seasons and would definitely return. They run a tight ship and it shows. Wonderful experience both times.

I was totally disappointed by this place. Went for "happy hour" with my boyfriend and his family, only to find out that they do not have a happy hour...EVER! It was Friday at 5:00 pm...Happy Hour is an unspoken rule at this time and Season's 52 unfortunately broke that rule! I got a martini with vodka, grapefruit juice, and agave nectar. Although it was delicious, it was $13 which to me, is a bit too much...especially at a Happy Hour time! Here is what was ordered on the table.... Cuban Flatbread - the best thing I ate, pretty good. Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms - gross...the shrimp was like a rubber band! Edemame - average Pork Tenderloin - My boyfriend got this and it was okay...really small portion though for the price BBQ Chicken Salad - Had a bite of this and it was okay...nothing special Also...the atmosphere was extremely boring. I felt like I was on a cruise ship dining room for someones 70th birthday party. The crowd is comprised of those in their 60s and 70s, which for this energetic 24 years old, can get a bit sleepy. The piano player, who plays inside the bar (very weird) gets an A for effort but would have been better to listen to when trying to fall asleep...wah wah wahhh! Overall, I don't think I'll be back. I think it is overpriced for the portion size AND the food is extremely bland and boring. Their whole 500 calories or less on the menu items is a good idea in theory, but the chef needs to find more ways to add flavor and not calories because the food is really lacking in the "MMMMMM" factor we all want on a Friday night out for dinner!

Went with my entire family for my parent's anniversary. Party of 14. The food was delicious and sensible, both in price & nutrition! You would never believe out is healthy for you because it just tastes so good! As you can expect, with such a large party there were a few ordering glitches, but the servers did not try to cover up any problems, but rather they immediately informed us of the problem and comped us quite a few goodies to make up for the 5 minute delay in receiving entrees! I can't wait to return in a smaller party!

The restaurant is clean and dark and a little noisy. The server was friendly and attentive. The salad with chicken was very fresh and flavorful. The rotisserie chicken was well seasoned and had nice caramelization on the skin. The maple glaze was delicious. The mashed potatoes needed some seasoning.

We planned a celebratory dinner with another couple and picked Seasons 52 on a friend's recommendation. I looked at the menu online ( hi, I'm Type A ) and was debating between the cedar plank salmon or the filet mignon. We arrived a little early for our reservation and were promptly sat in a nice booth in the corner. I was delighted to learn it was the first day of Miami Spice month (months?) and both the salmon AND steak were on the special menu. Our server was attentive, went into detail about the regular menu and the specials and barely gave the Miami spice menu a nod. (I've heard terrible things about Miami spice but I was pleasantly surprised this time around.) For $39 I got the appetizer, salad, entree, and two small desserts. You really can't go wrong with that. Although I did the math and I probably only saved $10. If it hadn't been Miami spice, I would have still ordered a salad with my entree, probably not a appetizer so honestly it's up to how big of an appetite you've worked up. I got the chicken pesto flatbread- pretty average, tasty nonetheless. The spinach salad was fresh, light, and filling. I went for the filet mignon. I ordered medium but came out more well than medium, still ate it, still tasted good, but would have preferred a juicier steak tbh. The desserts were good, mostly cream or mouse topped with cocoa, chocolate or some sugary, fluffy substance. Everyone else ordered off of the regular menu, everything looked delicious, smelled delicious, and the conversation pretty much ceased after our food came out. That's always a good sign.

I had heard awesome reviews about Seasons 52. A group of friends invited us to dinner and this is the place they chose. The decor is impecable, I was a little scared because I thought it would be expensive. For my surprise, the prices were reasonable. I decided to split a rack of lamb with the hubby because it was already 10:30pm. The lamb was perfectly cooked, seared on the outside and juicy on the inside. Next time I go I will eat a whole rack. Mashed potatoes were ok, all the dishes at Seasons 52 are under 475 calories so the mash is not inundated in butter. The veggies were delicious as well. I can't wait to go back to Seasons 52 here in California and try many more of their dishes.

German M.
I have to say Season's 52 was very accommodating in changing the reservation from a group of 4 to 6 a few days before Valentine's Day. Upon arrival we were promptly seated. We tried the steak and blue cheese as well as the cheddar and short rib flat breads and they were delish. You can't go wrong with any of them. I didn't have the mushroom bisque but I heard only great things about the perfectly cooked mushrooms -- so I craved it a little, I'm not gonna lie. For the main course I had the filet mignon which was extremely juicy but not cooked to order. The sides were just as good. The service was very slow and sort of inattentive -- perhaps because we were a group of 6. However, everybody left very satisfied after the small dessert shots.

I have been wanting to eat here for a while, and finally got the opportunity when someone gave me a gift card. We went at lunch time, were seated right away, and our server came right over. Our server, Misael, was EXCELLENT!! Really, really great server! We both started with some delicious tea - with lemonade. SO good. And, we got a tomato/basil flatbread appetizer. That is a MUST. It's very thin and light and delicious. I would go back here just to have it again! I ordered the Vegetarian Tasting (quinoa-citrus salad, soft taco, vegetables, cedar-roasted tofu, tropical salsa). It came with the tofu, quinoa salad (cold), a soft taco with beans, broccoli, corn salad (cold), and some kind of sweet salsa on top of the tofu. Everything was so delicious and flavored perfectly. I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but they drizzled it (lightly) with something, and you could taste that it was grilled - SO good. The tofu was prepared perfectly, and the corn salad was good too. As for the quinoa and corn salad, both are served cold. It is just MY preference for things to be warm or hot - so I didn't care for that aspect of it. But, I don't mean to take anything away from how good it tasted; just not my choice for cold. My friend had a similar veg dish, (Cedar Plank Roasted Tofu choice of asparagus, carrots, broccoli or cremini mushrooms, and roasted crushed potatoes) but her's came with these AMAZING skinny carrots. OMG, they were SO good. My dish was $15.50, and her's was around $12-something. The prices are a tad high, but, I knew that going in. If you are a vegetarian, be sure to ask for the separate vegetarian menu - some of it is the same as the regular, but there is a separate menu - also for vegans. Now, let's talk about the desserts. You MUST order dessert. They are small treats, and are only $3. Each one looked better than the next; we settled on 3: Blueberry/lemon, dark chocolate-something, and, OMG, the peanut butter. You MUST get the peanut butter - soooo good. They were ALL very good - a really nice way to end your meal. The restaurant is clean, and the decor is upscale (but not snooty!) and welcoming. It's a little dim in there, but that was fine. If I had to describe the restaurant, I would just call it a little upscale, with delicious, fresh-tasting, real food. I have read all the reviews and there's something I don't get - others say the portions are small. Both our plates were not small, and we even took some home (and, I'm a big eater!). So, that aspect of the other reviews, I don't agree with. We definitely came away very full from our meal. One thing I do agree with the other reviewers, and that's that it's a bit pricey. I don't love paying that much for a meal, but it was really fresh and good - so I guess you get what you pay for. Again, the service was exemplary! We weren't in a hurry, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We finished our appetizer, then shortly after that, the food came out. It is not a rushed place at all - it's laid back and comfortable. All good! I have nothing bad to say.

I will love giving more stars and I might. Nevertheless, the gentlemen toilets did not had any hand tissue. Having an automatic dispenser will go a long way to make the patrons keeping their hands from flagging the air all around to dry.

The only thing I can really say I like about this place are the flatbreads. Pretty much everything else - all other food, service, prices, portions, etc. seem to be really lacking. I work pretty close to this location and have come here a couple of times, either for meetings with customers or just to get away from the office with some coworkers. The service is consistently, excruciatingly slow. I have the same problem with a handful of places in the gables. I would say 90% of people are sitting down to have lunch during the week on their lunch break. Why do you think it's ok for a meal to take nearly two hours? Today we sat down with six people. Aside from the long wait times for everything, I would say we had 3 plates that still had at least half the food on them by the time the meal was over. That's saying a lot considering how small the portions are. Even those of us who finished our food (myself included) didn't have much to say except that it was "OK". Not really any reason to come back. And even though I felt my food was ok, I found myself with a stomachache not long after. The whole concept of this place is light fare - everything on the menu has 475 calories or less. This is great except a) the food is lacking in flavor b) portions are fairly small and c) they still cost as much as a large plate of full calorie food. I've definitely had better, cheaper healthy food elsewhere.

Great atmosphere, upscale decor, fresh delicious food yet a bit pricey for just any day casual lunch. Service was good, waiter was knowledgeable about menu items.

I gotta say that I am not a fan of chain restaurants but I Love This Place! The desserts are perfect in size and decadent( my fave is the smores!) Service is incredible with all the servers and bartenders being amazing and friendly. I love the flat breads and my husband and I have been slowly trying them all. The entrees are a little pricey but the trick to dining here is to get a couple of their delicious appetizers and maybe share an entree salad ( they are gigantic! Try the salmon one) and if you are still hungry, split an entree. Always try the chef's suggestion. The menu changes according to what's in season and everything is fresh. Lemonade refills are free :)

One of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The type of place you know you can count on for consistently great food and service. Love the ambiance of the restaurant as well. And the fact it's healthy is the cherry on top! Recommend the flatbreads, the scallops, and the mahi tuna crunch salad. And for dessert, love the peanut butter!! Though all are amazing.

The Quick: Very trendy and romantic restaurant (all locations), great food and fun concept, all for under 475 calories per dish. Great chain that doesn't feel like a chain. The Details: The concept is unique and refreshing, they have four different main menus, one for each season, then they have different specials each week of the year... hence the 52, Seasons 52. I love that every time you go there's something new on the menu to be tried and devoured. They are also known for their extensive wine list, from average wines to an extremely high price point. They really do have something to fit everyone's budget. It is a very sexy and appealing restaurant, perfect for a date or even for group. It's also located on a great block where you can stroll around and window shop, or sit outside under the strings of lights and people watch. Every time I've gone I've tried something different, as the menu changes each week. Overall, every flatbread we have tried has been absolutely delicious. Very flavorful and crispy. The scallops were amazing, and the desserts are always the perfect portion of sweetness, served in big shot glasses. Just keep in mind since each dish has to be in the specified calorie range, they are normal human sized portions... So you'll want an appetizer to share. The only thing I didn't love was the duck lettuce wrap tacos (pictured). It was good but it honestly would have been better on a crispy panini with jam. I should have splurged for the duck sandwich since each dish is still under 475 calories anyway. The Damage: A little pricey, since you have to get a flatbread/ appetizer to split (they're the best part!) We went for lunch with 5 people and spent $125 + tip for 5 entrees, 2 flatbreads, and one soup. There wasn't a lunch menu though, so we ordered regular priced entrees. It wouldn't have been much more expensive for dinner, so it's more reasonable for dinner.

I absolutely loved my experience last night. The service was good, the ambiance was warm and perfect for unwinding. I ordered the Maui Tuna Crunch salad, which was delightful. The combination of fruits and vegetables was so refreshing yet flavorful, and I like the texture the nuts added to the salad. I also tried a slice of the must have flat breads and it was like a little piece of cheesy heaven in my mouth. Best of all the menu overall seems pretty healthy yet delicious and included the amount of calories in each dish. This was perfect for my situation since I happen to be on a diet which involves counting calories.

This is a nice place to come for dinner or happy hour. It is located on Miracle Mile and the restaurant itself is nicely decorated. One of the things I like the most is the bar area, they have somebody playing the piano in the evenings. The music is loud enough that you can hear it but also low enough that you can hear each other's conversations. The thing about this place is that meals are under 475 calories, the plates are delicious but also have the right portion so you can eat guilt-free.

If you are planning to go to this restaurant, please be sure to be an anorexic 15 year old white girl or make a pit stop at the nearest fast food joint before, during, and after you make your order. You'll likely still leave there wishing for more substance (or anything at all). The portions were so small I found myself wishing the waiter would fall face first into the candle so I could take a bite off this freshly grilled churrasco and avoid certain death by seasonal starvation. I understand the plates are marketed as small, and under 500 calories, but next time I think I'll stick to making a peanut butter sandwich. It is more filling and many times cheaper. To keep the rating fair and balanced I feel obligated to make at least one good comment about the restaurant and it is that the water there was plentiful (and more filling than the food.)

Food tasted great and natural. Portions were on the small side and the menu items were rather pricey especially the drinks. The variety on the menu is great but if your looking to spend less than 20 dollars a plate you will feel limited. Either way, Seasons 52 may not give you the most bang for your buck but the quality is consistent and superb.

Great spot!!.... me and my gf went there for dinner tonight and it was amazing. Fresh food and beautiful decor. The tomato avocado salad was out of this world and the scallops with corn risotto was even better. Def will be coming back soon!

Food is excellent, the menu states how many calories each dish has, cocktails are amazing- my favorite is the dirty martini- extra dirty with the blue cheese stuffed olives! The best part would be the dessert selection, make sure you try the carrot cake and pecan pie!! Service is great, regardless of group size. They also have private rooms for events!

We came to eat next door at Red Koi and could hear a piano playing from our table with great music. We decided to stop by and found a fantastic bar with a revolving piano. The pianist new many songs. Unfortunately he told us that this will be his last week playing there as they will be turning it into a "trendier/hip bar with house music" (his words).

Seasons 52 is a great place to have a drink, meet people and have a relaxing evening with background music and nice ambiance...for dinner? Well, don't go too hungry, even though the food is tasty and delicious, the portions are very small. Our group was starving, thank goodness we started with different types of appetizers (loved the flat breads), so by the time our small portion arrived, it was ok. Although I think my husband left hungry, but he is a big eater... ; - /
Went to Seasons 52 during Coral Gables Restaurant Week and eating here was the best decision! The food was great from beginning to end. Hands down the BEST restaurant in Coral Gables!

Went here for my birthday with a friend and it was great!! Super nice ambience with a great selection of food, cocktails and desserts (all under 475 calories - big plus!). I recommend: - Lump Crab, Roasted Shrimp & Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms - Cedar-Plank Roasted Salmon - Hawaiian Pineapple Cosmopolitan - The desserts!! They came in tiny little cute cups and I wanted to try them all! But I didn't want to be such a fatty. So my friend and I got the Key Lime, Smores, and Carrot Cake (complimentary for our birthdays). I am usually not a Key Lime person b/c it's too tart, but OMGOSH...this is a must try! It was delicious!! The other two were great too. I'm glad I had a second stomach for dessert :) My friend's Shrimp Cavatappi Pasta was just OK, I don't think he liked it that much.

Oh what a night! Our Valentine's night started with a bang. Literally. As we valet parked our car and headed towards the restaurant, we heard a car crash and turned to realize that it was our car that had hit another. The valet guy had backed in to oncoming traffic without a second glance. As my husband dealt with calling the police, I went in to Seasons to let them know that we would obviously be late for our reservation. The hostesses expressed extreme surprise and sympathy and graciously held our reservation while we dealt with the valet and the police. Fast forward an hour and we were finally seated. I can honestly say that this was one of our best dining experiences ever. Every employee from our server, Misael, to Chef Matt, to the manager, Fernando, did everything in their power to make up for our disastrous valet experience. I'll add here that the valet is operated by a separate company and has no affiliation with the restaurant, but that didn't matter to the staff at Seasons 52. Complimentary glasses of champagne and our choice of flatbread to start the meal and we instantly forgot about our valet mishap. Our specialty cocktails were delicious. (I fell in love with Makers Mark all over again.) I would have given them the full five stars except hubby had to send his steak back twice. The chef and my hubby did not see eye to eye on the definition of "medium well." But our server was quick to offer complimentary coffee and dessert. Overall, I love the fact that Seasons 52 worked so hard to clear our minds of the valet incident even though it was clearly not their fault. We will definitely be back! And we will definitely not valet park.

We dined at the Seasons 52 in downtown Coral Gables on a busy Thursday night in late March. It's been two years at least since we visited this popular restaurant in the heart of Miracle Mile. Once again we were delighted across the board with menu, service and atmosphere. The menu is somewhat limited, but for a reason. They go seasonal and do not disappoint plus all the main food fare (including the flatbreads) is under 475 calories across the board. The venison chop, an occasional menu treat esp. in winter was rare and seasoned perfectly (lightly so not to interrupt that very unique flavor); the turkey skewer presented chunks of well marinated charcoaled tender meat accompanied by a cucumber vinaigrette salad, the sesame grilled salmon was fresh and cooked perfectly and the chunky lump crab, shrimp and spinach stuffed in mushrooms(served as an appetizer) was crab intense ditto the blackened steak and blue cheese flat bread (also served as an appetizer. We ordered one chefs special mushroom puree soup which was a tad bland but with a surfeit of differing shrooms. The bottle of wine chosen was a perfect companion to all four diners food. The Kettel One vodka martini typically sizable and perfectly mixed. You can also enjoy a glass of cava in the bar area. Happily we had room when the desert tray with its individual parfaits. Our friends tried the mini desserts (which consist of red velvet, pumpkin cinnamon pie, chocolate peanut butter mousse) and they were astonished. Service is seamless. Easy and Attentive. Prices at Seasons 52 belie its upscale atmosphere. Affordable and a wide variety across the menu from $9 to $25. Parking in Coral Gables is always a trial, however there's a sizable municipal lot behind this restaurant and we've always found a spot quickly. Pay kiosks are all around the lot.
Short version: Get the apps and dessert, skip the main course. Long version: I enjoyed the dimly lit interior with the faux heavy timber framing, and the black bean chili was as good as Mima's with a subtly spicy kick. This restaurant chain advertises its cuisine as being flavorful yet healthy and the chili appetizer keeps that promise. The presentation was also beautiful. Likewise with the strawberry dessert shot and accompanying balsamic vinegar reduction. It wasn't obnoxiously sweet and let you notice the different flavors. The main course of chicken made me wonder if I momentarily went to a different restaurant and is the reason why I'm taking off a star. While it had enough of a background maple glaze seasoning the presentation on my plate was actually a bit plain. It almost looked like what I would make at home. The accompanying vegetables were fine, fresh and crispy though.

The moment you step into the restaurant you feel like you're in NY, in a warm, and inviting environment. The hostess is friendly and tall! The waiter Jesus was pleasant and attentive. I ordered several diffrerent dishes (arugula salad, hummus, roma tomato flatbread, duck and fish tacos). The food was very fresh and I'd recommend everything I ordered minus the korean duck lettuce wraps. It was a little bland. Overall the restaurant was very clean and I agree with all the other yelpers-- flatbread was delicious!!

I have to say after reading all the yelp reviews I had big expectations for this place. I love the idea of only serving things that are in season and the fact that everything was low calorie really enticed me to pick this place for my anniversary. Unfortunately I was extremely underwhelmed. First, for such a busy restaurant there was an extreme lack of seating in the waiting area. I understand that they wanted to maximize their dining space but some outside tables or longer couches would really help. Second, although we explained that we were celebrating a special occasion and didn't mind waiting eventhough we had a reservation we were sat with a private party of 15+ on one side and another birthday party with 8 guest on the other. Our server was obviously overwhelmed and timed our meal terribly. I really can't forgive bad service when the prices are this high. Clearly this restaurant is used to a lot of people so the servers should be used to hanlding a large amount of tables. On to the most important part, the food. I had the honey glazed chicken and it really lacked flavor. The chicken came out dry with over cooked with underseasoned veggies drowned in some type of gravy, and poorly mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had some type of fish which he said had a nice smokey flavor but lacked much else. The highlight of the evening, and really the only bright spot of the night was the dessert. Perfectly sized and nicely prepared with just the right amount of frosting. Interestingly enough desserts are usually the weak point of the meal not the star, but I'm certainly not complaining. All in all I probably wouldn't return or recommend this establishment to anyone. Save yourself the time and effort and find another place to eat.

Easily mine and my boyfriend's FAVORITE place. We always go for the "Flights and Flatbread" special before 6 pm, where you are given a taste of 3 different wines and a flatbread for only 15-20$ a person (depending on which flight of wines you choose). At the end, you get to decide which wine was your favorite and you are served a full glass of that wine. The flatbreads are to die for!! Our favorites are the chicken pesto one and the steak and blue cheese one. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water! Overall, GREAT food, GREAT service, GREAT ambiance. It's a definite MUST TRY.

So today is a special day for my girlfriend and I. I decided to make reservations for this place for tonight at 8. The receptionist was super sweet and took down my information. We showed up thirty minutes early but we were seated immediately. Manny was my waiter and he was sweet. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. They were good but no flavor. My girlfriend ordered the pork tenderloin and asked if the mashed potatoes had the skin on them he answered no but he was wrong. I ordered the cedar plank salmon which was cooked well but my side was just vegetables. I understand the concept of keeping the dinner plates under 452 calories but my food sucked. The food was so unimpressive. I've heard nothing but good things but I hated everything. I was super disappointed. I will not come here again.

I had a really great time here! I got the lobster flat bread and a side of scallops. Really loved the wine selection and the server was probably one of the best I've ever had. Expected to pay much more than what we did. Would absolutely return!

First time last time Seasons 52 Coral Gables. Great location and nice ambiance. Miguel the server was inexperienced and brought my dinner during appetizers.. Had to return it so that I could wait for the rest of the party to get their food! Wine was ordered (flight wine ) I had to ask for final glass several times before it was brought... Wine glass empty??? it never occurred to him to refill or ask after several visits to table...Soup asparagus was absolutely awful no taste at all!!!! Bland as hospital food is usually... Not even salt and pepper could fix it! We all had the same soup party of 6... We all had the same conclusion.... We had to ask Miguel several times for bread. Flat bread lobster was good but I could get that anywhere nothing to scream about....definitely not Gables caliber .. Completely disappointed!

I have always loved Seasons 52 and have reviewed them before for their impeccable service, healthy food items, and amazing wine list. But I now, yet AGAIN, feel compelled to write a review as this has to do directly with an event that my friend and I attended last night for Coral Gables Restaurant week. Seasons 52 hosted a private wine tasting and flat bread sampling. This was according to the email i received but we were pleasantly surprised to find that is was waaaaaay more than advertised. The private room was "roomy" with plenty of space to walk around and mingle. 3 stations were set up: a red wine sation, a white wine station, and the food station. The food consisted not only of all their delicious flatbreads (they are becoming almost famous for them) but they also allowed us to sample pork tenderloins and spicy chicken skewers that were absolutely delicious. The food kept coming till the last person left! They also brought out a sample of their mini indulgences towards the end which we were not at all expecting. A very sweet ending to a delicious sampling of very. very good food. The wine stations had 3 wines each for you to sample and then have a full pour of your favorite. They were all exceptional and they did a great job of getting wines that would appeal to wine drinkers at any level. Now comes the part where I share what the REAL treat of the night was... THE SERVICE. Katherine was manning the red wine station. There wasn't a single pour that didn't come with an extensive explanation as to how that particular grape is cultivated, what food to pair it with, etc.. she was so knowledgeable, friendly, and really, really helpful. She didn't seem annoyed when people bombarded her with questions. She displayed pure professionalism the entire time. Dawn at the white wine station was just as great. Always smiling and willing to answer any and all questions pertaining to the white wines. Her station was one of the lonlier ones since as you know, everyone loves a good red - but there she was, patiently waiting and very happy that you stopped by. And then there was Enrique.... ooooooh Enrique! He welcomed all the guests to the event and got things started. He made sure that EVERYONE without exception had some food on their plate and when he saw you struggling with an empty plate on one hand and a glass of wine in another, he made sure to take your plate. There were other servers, and of course, they too were great, but these 3 really stood out and in my opinion, are the reason that Seasons 52 has the reputation it has. These young people are service oriented, professional, friendly, accommodating, and in short, embody what I wish every server would. Keep it up guys and GOOD JOB SEASONS 52 for knowing how to host an awesome event and knowing exactly WHO can get it done!

This is one my favorite places to eat. Almost every item it's healthy and has less than 500 cal. The local is spacious and welcoming. Every single time I walk in there's big groups and plenty of family. The staff is excellent. The wine & cocktail selection is big enough. So far the hummus, the play breads from the appetizers are excellent. The soups are delicious I juts tasted the asparagus and it was delicious. All the salads are great, the trout plate, the vegetarian plate and the fish tacos are a no miss. Then comes the dessert part. They present it in shot glasses, so are small enough not to harm much your diet and there's like 8 options. Price point it's on the expensive but your eating healthy side but you won't go bankrupt either. Try it !

Overall, Season's 52 was a solid experience. My husband and I were looking for a vegetarian restaurant (in addition to my gluten and dairy allergies). Their menu was a little bit inefficient since they have separate menus for gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan. It was a bit overwhelming for me since a majority of the gluten-free menu was non-vegetarian. However, our server quickly found someone who could manage it and make recommendations. We ordered the duo hummus for an appetizer, and I found the texture to be a little rough. We had the warm beet salad, which was good and the vegetarian entree which was good as well and the restaurant accommodated my food allergies greatly in this meal. If you go to the restaurant, i would recommend sitting in the main room or room adjoining to the bar. We were put in an add-on room, which was freezing. I complained several times, and 2 other tables near us complained about how cold it was too.

A really nice restaurant on the mile. I come here every occasion and I really like it. Although today I say I the restaurant part I find it even more enjoyable when you go and sit in the bar area, for its much more livelier. On Fridays they have a piano man here and he's great. The food is great and very well done although I find it a bit pricey. For example, they're sushi rolls are almost 11 dollars, and if you're only going for that it would be better to go to Yuga or Su-Shin. All in all this is a nice place to come after work or with friends to enjoy a nice meal.

Really recommend this place if you're looking for a pleasant meal and a comfortable environment... Go for the lobster flatbread or the scallops, which are amazing. I especially like the Miami Crunchy Tuna Salad, also. It's just laid-back, and the atmosphere adds to the experience.

The food here is excellent. The prices are not bad at all. The food is fresh and the desserts are great. Overall it was an excellent dinner and I would definitely recommend it. We usually go to the one outside Roosevelt Field. It is nice to know that they have this one here when we are visiting Miami.

Seasons 52 is great for us health conscious folks, as it boasts about its below-475-calorie menu items and oil-controlled entrees. Don't let the "healthy" label fool you though-- everything that I've eaten here has been full of flavor! I also love the fact that the menu changes seasonally. On this particular evening my table began with the Prince Edward Mussels Marinara, which were out of this world. For myself I ordered the mixed greens salad complete with pumpkin seeds (for the fall season :) ) and the Cedar Plank Salmon with broccoli and asparagus. It's normally served with potatoes, but I subbed out that side for double veggies instead. I loved the atmosphere of this location, and it's always great to stroll around Miracle Mile afterwards. Just make sure you make a reservation before you decide to go!

I expected a lot from this place hearing about it from fellow coworkers. I have to say I was unimpressed. I ordered The Greek Salad, a steak flatbread and a Shrimp bruschetta, with the exception of the bruschetta, everything else was either dry or bland. Definitely not giving this place a second chance

I Love this place. Its ambiance is very upscale for a chain restaurant and the food never disappoints take advantage of there changing seasonal menus and dinner is not complete without a mini indulgences. I go with my husband for a quite evening or with the kids for a family dinner. The restaurant is huge noise level average so you really can't disturb anyone. They have live piano music which is usually very good. Cons: Parking in the Gables sucks especially on weekends. The restaurant wait can be up to a hour

We have been going to Seasons 52 for dinner for years now, and the food/service was so good, that we decided to have our wedding rehearsal dinner here, too! In short, it was absolutely incredible. Our main contact person was Denise, and she was so nice, helpful and responsive. We blocked off a few of the private rooms for the party, which was about 60 people, and everyone had an incredible time. Most importantly, the food was PERFECT! Everyone raved about it - from the salmon, shrimp, pasta, and steak, to the vegetables and flatbread and DESSERT! We will certainly be coming back for dinners and other events. Thank you so much for everything!

Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The only thing holding it back from a 5th star is the food is good but doesn't have a wow factor. I had the rainbow trout...no complaints at all, but it just didn't wow me. I guess that's because this is more of a health conscious restaurant, which is actually fine by me. Btw, most portions are smaller but the trout is one of the biggest items on the menu if you're looking for a filling meal.

I've always said, "if old people fine there, it's good" for some reason there were lots of seniors and my theory was proven yet again. Everything was amazing! This place has such a cozy atmosphere despite being a pretty big restaurant. There was live piano and singing which was very nice. I had the humus with peppers and with mint. It was really good! My daughter ordered a butter nut squash soup which was ah mazing and non- creamy which I love! I do not like being served a big bowl or cup of heavy cream. I tried the rainbow trout which was surprising to me that they had because I have only seen this in Utah and Cali. It was butterflied open and grilled to perfection. It was so so good! My son had bone in lamb covered in Kona coffee and although it's a little hard to get the meat off the bones it's very tasty and well prepared. My daughter opted for the chicken skewers appetizer with apple slaw and it was divine ! They have an great selection on the menu sure to please everyone, even gluten free ! The deserts.., oh the deserts!! At only $2.50 each these little heaven in a cup deserts are just insanely good! You will know what I mean! They are not over bearing and just enough to get your sweet fix and just decadent! Our server was great and super attentive. I'm coming back here more often it's a great place! Oh and it will not break the bank! Considering the quality it's very reasonably priced!

I had always wanted to try this place. I have heard nothing but greatness about this place from my friends. I was very disappointed. We arrived on a Saturday for our 445 reservation. I made one because i was expecting the place to be packed. It was not. It was very empty. Well...i mean it is an odd time to eat. We were seated right away where we requested. We wanted something outside since the day was so nice. It was about 10 minutes before the waiter approached our table. We gave him our appetizer order (the vegan hummus) and our drink order. he came back with my drink about 10 minutes later. we gave him our dinner order since we were ready. About 15 minutes after that, we got our appetizer. it was good. the waiter checked in with us 25 minutes later and took our empty appetizer plate. the hummus was really good. He told us that our food would be out soon. I was getting restless. it had already been a long time. the food came. we ordered the maple glazed chicken which came with vegetables and mashed potatoes, the vegan vegetables and pasta and the final plate was the shrimp cavatappi pasta. none of us liked our dishes. my plate, the maple glazed chicken, was very dry. i hated the taste of the glaze. the potatoes were actually good. the glaze was so overpowering that i couldn't discern the mishmash veggies on my plate. Oh! We had also ordered the crushed mashed potatoes. they were terrible and dry. we ate begrudgingly. the waiter never came by to check on us. our plates were taken away by the hostess. we waited to get our bill from our waiter. we didnt want dessert bc it would have taken forever to get there. we just wanted to get out of there. we were there for a total of 2 hours and a half. i could have driven to orlando and had something from epcot's food and wine festival for that amount of time. Service and food were terrible. Prices are like cheesecake factory prices. Never coming back.

Went for a birthday dinner and they definitely give a nice touch to the birthday person with a happy birthday card. The ambiance is very nice and all of their food taste really fresh. We started with a flatbread of short ribs and cheddar and it has really good flavors that you would normally not think to put together but very tasty. I had the lump crab wedge for dinner and it was very light and refreshing. I also tasted the Sea Scallops with risotto and it is worth ordering!

Came to the bar for a drink and order a couple of Belvenie 12yrs on the rocks. When we ordered the check each scotch was priced at $31... What a ripoff. The server should have told us it was priced that high. Very disrespectful.

Healthy food that taste this darn good, oh yes I loved this place. I had this place bookmarked but was not rushing to get there figuring hubby would never get full on 475 calories of food. The hostess was very nice and took us to a very comfy booth. Our server greeted us quickly. Really liked the soft wood tones throughout, classy touch. At one point in between dinner I hear music I look up and see a guy playing the spinning piano and singing. Super cool. We started with chicken pesto flatbread and oh was it delicious. The ingredients are so fresh and so was the chicken. I ordered a bottle of Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc which paired perfectly with everything we ate. Great wine from Marlborough, New Zealand. If you choose to order this please appreciate the beautiful bouquet it has, amazing. Sniff & Savor. I ordered the Corvina because the waiter said it was fanatasic. A smooth curry sauce over the top that I did enjoy even though I am not a big fan of curry. The Corvina was light very fresh and had great flavor. Hubby ordered the seared Tuna, wow this was by far the very best seared Tuna I have ever had. Then the adorable little deserts for $2.50, oh geez rocky road was amazing! Service was excellent, loved the ambience, older crowd for sure even a few cougars haning out at the bar ha ha. This place would be a perfect five star for me if they had a better red wine selection especially selections of more Pinot Noir, Burgundy's and Viognier. For the caliber of the service, food and decor step up the wine list would be my suggestion. Can not wait to go back with my daughter she will love it.

I love this place. The whole concept of freshness based on what's in season is truly inspiring. The whole set up, the lighting, decorations, the ambience... It all sets the theme that's for sure. We had a fairly large group, and shared the artichoke flatbread. Great little appetizer for everyone to share although we had to get two. I chose to order the filet mignon with mashed sweet potato and asparagus. I'm telling you.. This was the best cut of meat I have had in a long time. Seasoned with a mushroom sauce, it was not over buttered or over salted like many other places prepare steak, I literally used a butter knife to cut my steak! I also tried the scallops which were delicious as well. For desert they brought out a large tray with many different little cups for us to choose. Although a great idea....I honestly find this unsanitary given they take back the ones you didn't choose and re-serve them to someone else. I enjoyed the smores and the carrot cake. The service was ok.. Although he disappeared for quite some time in the middle of our meal and we needed another bottle of wine, it's important to make sure everyone has a drink when their meal comes. Besides that we had a great time and left feeling content!

I met with my cousin for dinner to catch up and talk some business. Maria, our server, was GREAT ! Congrats on her intuition and quick handling of the fact the wine my cousin was drinking had run out. She quickly bought him an alternate. She gave us space to talk and only came by to check precisely when needed. Kudos to her. The food, the menu, the attention is perfect !!

We came just for coffee and desert. Took forever to seat us. Finally they found an empty table by bar( among the many empty ones) . We were seated at a booth and had a man waiter that was basically careless and never bother to take care of us. We told him we came for coffee and desert and he never brought us the desert tray. Also never offered us water . It was very hard to get his attention the whole time we were there even to ask for the check. I know food is nice but this waiter needs to go.

Any place that offers delicious entrees, ALL at 475 calories or less, plus top notch drinks, an elegant and comfortable ambiance, plus a piano player at the bar is going to get top ratings in my book. This is my favorite place to come in the Gables. The drinks are mixed perfectly. The food is amazing (Rainbow Trout on the menu right now is incredible). And I keep coming back to the pianist at the bar. It just adds a nice touch to the place. Strongly recommend for dates, drinks after work, business dinners.

Karla V.
With a healthy menu, appropriate portions, and delicious tiny desserts, this restaurant is a go too when in the Gables. It has a large seating area and full bar, so waiting for a table is typically not an issue. While its a chain, the food still stands apart and most dishes, if not all, are under 500 calories. What a bonus! The food is simple and clean and the ambiance is still relatively intimate, while the restaurant is large. I have been for lunch and dinner both, each meal pretty good with the flatbreads and steamed veggies as the highlights. Give this place a chance when in a group and looking for a lighter meal accompanied by a delicious glass of wine!

Why not five stars? The place was nearly empty, I had to wait for a table for around 15 minutes, which makes no sense at all when there were perfectly placed tables all around. The lobster flat bread I ordered was cold although it tasted good. And the wild salmon was half the size it should be. It's probably that way so they can keep the calories at the top for the menu. Two stars for: Danielle, the extremely kind waitress and The s'mores dessert paired with the Rioja wine.

Made a Yelp booking for Saturday night. Seated after 5 minutes in a quiet supine room which was perfect for a business and social dinner. We have dined at two other cities in the chain and they are consistent in service and food quality. Have to give them 5 stars!

Went for last weekend of summer lunch menu and Miami spice. Food selection was ample and generous in size. I had the corn soup, burger, tots and key lime pie. Service here is always on point. Great ambiance and tasty food!

Coral Gables is full of great quality restaurants. Therefore, the Yelpies event could have not been in a better location to experience a great dish after the event. Jessica and I are trying to eat healthier since we are on the working out and cross-fit fix. Therefore with all meals under 500 calories we were immediately drawn to Seasons 52. Upon arrival there was not wait time and we were immediately seated. The server was outstanding. She had a full knowledge of the menu and what the specials were for the day. In addition, she was able to describe the dishes on the menu to the exact detail. Jessica went with the Roasted Chicken and I went with the Corn Risotto and Scallops. In addition, we went with the bacon and blue cheese flatbread and white bean chicken chili. The flatbread was very good! Crispy on the bottom yet soft on the top, the bacon and blue cheese was not over powering but just right to make the dish come together. Topped with arugula on top, it was a very good appetizer if your looking for something light and not to heavy. The chili was darn good as well, the chicken was and white bean paired very well together and again a light appetizer if your not looking for something to fill you up before you entree. The Roasted chicken was very flavorful and quite chunky lots of meat in one small chicken I thought to myself. It had the right combination of species and seasoning. The vegetables especially the tomatoes were sweet and tangy and as always the balsamic pairs very well with the tomatoes. The Corn Risotto was spectacular! The texture was just right! The Scallops were cooked to perfection as well. It didn't have the sandy flavor that other restaurants have or that squishy bland flavor. These were grilled just right where the texture of the scallop and flavor were exactly how they needed to be. Very delicious dish the combination of the seafood and risotto is one of my parings there is in dining. I capped it off with a doppio expresso and the night could not have ended better. Comparing Seasons 52 to other restaurant's I can see how there dishes are under 500 calories. They don't cook with lots of sodium or other spices or ingredients that add inches to your waste, so the normal flavor that you would have on some of there dishes compared to other restaurants is lacking, but that's the cost of healthy clean eating. Nevertheless, I understand the philosophy and concept and the food taste great for the calories your consuming. Great Work !

This place was amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious. The freshness of the food was defiantly a delight. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The server knew the menu and the specials very well. That must be hard since the menu changes weekly. Josh our server was very helpful when it came to picking out a sweet red wine. I will defiantly be back and also trying the location when I'm in NY as well.

Seasons 52 is always a safe bet for reasonably priced, light and veg friendly fare. Such a chick place. Had the most perfect lunch on the Coral Gables restaurant week fix price menu. My waiter was great and timed each course just right. Started with the roasted tomato flat bread. Crispy, thin crust, non-greasy, golden brown, tossed with just the right amount of finely chopped fresh basil. Loved it. The crunchy tuna salad was solid. Tuna just barely seared, thinly sliced and a great quality dark red piece of "meat". I loved that they grilled the pineapple and mango before tossing them into the greens. My orange quinoa salad should have been called a quinoa barley salad, as it was 50/50. Barley is not the right choice for this dish as it is too starchy and made for a strange mealy texture. I did like the tiny dices of apple in the salad but it needed more citrus flavor. Of course, the mini dessert shots are irresistible and the most genius invention ever. You get so many different layers of flavor and texture in that tiny glass, without hating yourself afterwards. Now, I am a fan of big desserts, even shamefully oversized ones, but this way you get to sample two or even three if you're like me and can't just pick one. The chocolate s'mores dessert is a must try. Rich dark chocolate mousse topped with crumbled graham crackers and a marshmallow. The only problem I had was that my tongue isn't long enough to lick the shot glass. The pecan pie shot is a lot sweeter. Vanilla custard topped with crunchy pecan pie filling and whipped cream, yummers. All of that for less than $20 makes me very happy.

Great food, ambiance, and service! The chicken pesto flatbread was delicious. The Miami spice menu was a pretty good deal. Overall very happy with my experience at the restaurant.

The desserts are cute and taste fine. However - service was soooo slow around 4pm. Unacceptable. Seems like the decor is made for an older men's club. Reminds me of Ruby Tuesdays. Prices are reasonable except for their cocktails. Those are more pricey.

Updating my review. Food quality is going up. The food is tasting delicious. I had the tuna crunch and it was so tasty. Flatbreads are always A+ and the desserts. I love me some pecan mini indulgence

I really love this place, honestly don't have anything negative to say. I ordered the tuna salad (can't recall the official name) and one of their flatbreads. The portions are fairly large on the salad which is nice for a change. The staff are very friendly and patient. I was there with an old friend and we were literally the last to leave. No rush at all, the waiter picked up on the fact that no, we weren't ready to order and didn't hassle us every 5 minutes. Also, not to mention, the calories are right there! So it makes healthy eating much easier.

I have been here many times and never disappointed. The service is always attentive and the menu changes with the season. We had wild salmon which was delicious and filet mignon which was perfectly cooked. And the small dessert idea is brilliant. A bit of sweet after the meal.

I love it here. One of my favorite chain restaurants. There is a piano player, great wine selections, and a very pleasant staff. Its definitely a nice place for lunch or dinner. With a setting that is warm (their fire pit in the winter rocks), sophisticated, and intimate, and a menu offering a variety of fresh and yummy options that change every season (how cool) and are under 475 calories- what isn't there to love? Of course if you eat an appetizer, soup, an entree, and dessert, its not under 475... but you still would've enjoyed quality food and not feel uncomfortably overstuffed after 3 courses like you may feel at other restaurants where its greasy and the portions are unrealistic. Though I have taken one of my friends here and she was still hungry after dinner. So the portions here are not large, but for me, personally, I can share a flatbread and an appetizer, finish an entree, and have a dessert and am full and satisfied. So... Flatbreads are a must and they are all good! ..All of them. Shrimp cavatappi shrimp pasta, their grilled scallops, rainbow trout, and filet mignon are delicious entree options. I think in the winter they have venison...i thought I wouldn't like "gamey"meat but its pretty good :) Its kind of funny, usually after dinner, the server will bring you the tray of desserts without even asking if you want it. They think they're slick...But I end up with dessert every time haha. These mini indulgences as they are small and just the right amount of dessert (supposedly...) are amazing!!! My favorites are the Chocolate peanut butter torte and the pecan pie with vanilla bean mousse. Perfect ending to the meal ;)

The music and noise level is gentle and compliments the delicious, healthy, and light dishes. Happy hour includes delightful cocktails and small plates. Inside is comfortable, and staff are friendly and courteous. And the Strawberry Basil Infusion cocktail is to die for!

Best place on The Mile. Amazing flatbreads, fresh salads, super quick service and great ambiance. Love this place for amazing cocktails after shopping or a sophisticated sit- down with friends. Menu changes but everything is fresh and delicious. Their salads are seriously to die for, anything with arugula is amazing. Yum!

Went with some friends. It was my first time but definitely not my last. Everything was delish I had the scallops risotto with caramelized Brussels sprouts, lobster flat bread, and rasp cannoli shot for dessert. Did I mention TWO hawian pineapple cosmos mmmmm. Our waiter was awesome and mad us laugh the whole time. We went at 4:30 no wait at all. Over all a FABULOUS experience

Seasons 52 holds a special place in my yelp-heart. Very private elegant and tasty dinner restaurant in the heart of coral gables (Miracle Mile). They have seasonal menus, meaning the food is always fresh and authentic. I would definitely recommend anyone to try to flatbreads, so delicious. Service is fine although on busy nights you may have to wait 15 min before your table is ready. The Jazz piano guy by the bar is a great addition. Would recommend.

Although I've heard and seen Seasons 52 restaurants in other cities, I'd never visited one before. So when I came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pretty impressed right off the bat with the wide variety of vegetarian options -- and the presence of a separate vegetarian menu altogether. The ambiance in the restaurant is very relaxed, with mood lighting and a huge space to work with. The decor is very nice and this could easily be a place for a classy date. I came for lunch with friends and we had the tomato flatbread (pretty good, not overly greasy, good level of basil but I wasn't over the top about this dish), the vegetarian tasting menu (quinoa-citrus salad, soft taco (black beans, roasted peppers, feta cheese, mole poblano, tomatillo salsa), grilled vegetables, cedar-roasted tofu, tropical salsa). I loved everything on the tasting menu except for the cedar roasted tofu and the soft taco (it was good, but not great). Finally, we finished with 3 of their dessert shooters. We split the Belgian Chocolate S'more, Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Honey, and the Pecan Pie with Vanilla Bean Mousse. All were equally rich, flavorful, and balanced. And the portion sizes are just right so you are satisfied with the amount of sweet indulgence without feeling sick from too much sugar. They have many more flavors which I definitely want to go back and try! All in all, I think this was a great find for American food in Miami, and bonus points for vegan and vegetarian options which are few and far between down here.

Overall great experience. Considering what I've read about small portions and everything being under 500 calories, I thought maybe I would've been unsatisfied. But no. It was just right. The Cedar plank salmon is fantastic! Goat cheese ravioli was excellent!! My girlfriends lamb was slightly overcooked but overall the food was very good and very flavorful. The place has a warm feel to it and just a great dining experience. The only downside if there truly was one, was that our server seemed a bit rushed with us. Saturday night and they were very busy.

NPS = 8 Not really a fan of chain restaurants, but this one was great! It was my first time visiting a Seasons 52 and I had an amazing experience. If you pass by this Seasons 52, definitely ask for Daniella! She was the best. I definitely recommend the lobster flat bread (however, since the menu changes so often it might not be on the menu) as an appetizer. The beet salad was fantastic as an appetizer as well. The balsamic vinaigrette it comes with is to die for. The roasted chicken was great and I recommend having it with glass of Mer Soleil chardonnay. Great! For dessert, their selection of shot-glass desserts is great. You get your taste of sweet minus the momentous calories. I tried the chocolate peanut-butter one and my girlfriend had the carrot cake one. Both were wonderful. If in the Coral Gables area, give this place a try.

My mom and I decided to come here for late lunch today . I picked the place based on the concept of having the menu selection with less than 450 calories per plate . I think this is an awesome way to catch people's attention since now days we are all worried about healthy eating and calories lol we ordered the raspberry and the mint lemonade . Super refreshing . Totally recommend it . Both detoxifying drinks in there own way . Chicken Flat bread was delish . I loved the fact that they cook the salmon in a piece of wood , this way it absorbs that woody taste while been cooked in the oven . My favorite parts of restaurants is of course dessert . I appreciate that they were shots not a huge piece . This way you can try them all :)

I actually really like coming to seasons 52. The only place ill sit here is the bar. The dining room is just eerily quiet for my taste, but the bar is always pleasant. The piano player behind the bar adds a lot to the ambiance- though I must say I much prefer the younger player on Mondays and Tuesdays to the older man that plays there the other days of the week. My bartenders have always been quick and attentive, readily offering their suggestions and pouring nice cocktails. The small shaker on the side with nearly a full martini glass of the cocktail extra is a real treat. The food doesn't daaaazzzle me here, but for a restaurant I've been frequenting more often- I don't want a huge heavy meal and a high check. The portions are perfect. I recently had the steak salad, chicken skewers, and pork tenderloin. I would order each one again. The chicken skewer app was surprisingly large and the price point was totally agreeable. The beets with wasabi dip were seriously underwhelming though. They could benefit from an orange or honey glaze- and I'm a beet lover! I cannot come here without ordering one of their small delicious desserts. I love the rocky road and carrot cake. Overall seasons 52 consistently delivers.

The restaurant is nice. The food is good. But the only bad thing was the service. The server was nice and seemed concerned but it took 40 minutes to get him to come back and ask for desert. Once he was gone he was gone. We were not in a hurry so it wasn't a big deal but it was a little annoying to just seat there and wait around. The food was good, we did however just order appetizers and drink drinks. The flatbreads are great and warm caprese salad is awesome. The entrees did not seem impressive so we just ordered a fee appetizers. I think we made the right choice. Anyhow, this place is great for drinks and appetizers... I wouldn't do full on dinner here though.

My wife and I have been here numerous times before. We enjoy the ambiance, and the great service. I usually get the sea scallops which are usually amazing (and their best dish in my opinion) but today I wanted to try something different so I got the venison. I was willing to pay extra because I realize it comes from New Zealand, but I was disappointed in the dish. First the portions were ridiculously small (I get the low calorie part of the menu but you should price the item based on value). It was a SINGLE solitary chop with very little meat on it. To make matters worse it lacked flavor. The garnish, sweet potato mashed, also lacked flavor. How hard is it to screw up one of the most delicious meats and sweet potatoes? The lamb chop looked like a larger quantity of food, obviously I'm not sure how it tastes but it looked ok.
Excellent service and food. The flat bread, salmon and scallops are perfection. Good drinks as well. Yes!

Celebrated a birthday there in a group. The food was great, the drinks mixed by a master, and the service was great....until we got the check and decided to stick around and chat since it seemed to be a slow night and we had just dropped almost Five hundred dollars to include a 20% tip. Our waiter "Michael" inexplicably disengaged never asking if anyone in a group of 8 wanted more water. After yakking away for over an hour we all left parched and thirsty, hence 3 stars instead of 5.

I have been to Season's 52 quite a few times in the past, but never this location. It worked out quite well because we had just attended Yelp's 10 year anniversary event at the Coral Gables Museum just a block up. We chose to dine here because both Erick and I are on a 30 day clean eating plan and as delectable as the items looked at our event, I just couldn't eat any of it. :-( We walked in and were able to be seated right away. Our server greeted us and took our drink orders. For the appetizer Erick ordered a cup of the white chicken chili soup and the bacon and blue cheese flat bread. Our appetizers arrived fairly quickly. I tasted a bite if Erick's soup and it was very good! I only had one bite because I have to watch my sodium intake during these 30 days. I sampled a bite of the flatbread and it was quite delicious and the flavors blended very well together. For my entree I was between the roasted chicken or the scallops with corn risotto. Guilted by my conscience and carb intake, I went with the chicken. The portion was very generous and had a lot of meat. It was accompanied by tomatoes and bits of ciabatta crouton. The croutons and tomatoes were drizzled with balsamic vinegar which is diet approved. The chicken was so meaty and full of so much flavor and very generously portioned and accompanied with the sides it made for the perfect healthy meal. We had to skip on the desserts for obvious reasons, but the s'mores dessert shot was calling my name and I made a mental note for my next visit.

Hosted our office holiday lunch on 12/18 for the fourth year in a row. This year the group was bigger (22) and the service was even better. Everything was on point, no delays, no hiccups. Food and drinks were served quickly and on point...our staff was happy and so was I. The names of our waitresses slip my mind but they deserve kudos and recognition. Thank u to Seasons 52 and we will see u next year again.

Overall not bad....I had the ahà tuna, pretty good. The mer soleil wine was divine best wine I had in my life and I have had quite a few.the seabass was sadly disappointing... My expectations were so high but crush.over cooked way to citrusy for my taste,but the wine made up for half of the meal.I would recommend this probably only for their drinks and appetizers

Look, we really like this place especially for Friday night happy hour. One of the things I like the most is the piano player. Live entertainment. It's really awesome. I just learned tonight this is being eliminated. I am really disappointed. It is a distinguishing feature of this place. It really adds atmosphere. Darden, please don't do this.

Service: Amazing service. Our waiter was first very understanding when we decided to change tables. He then gave us excellent recommendations and really knew the menu as well. He was very attentive, but not on the verge of annoying. It was my friend's birthday, and they brought out the cake with candles lit without me having to ask them to. When only one of our friends ordered the curry soup, he gave the rest of us samples to try. I cannot recommend this guy enough! Drinks: If you buy their cocktails they will serve it to you with the shaker, so really you're paying for 2 drinks worth. I got their pomegranate margarita which I would recommend to those who like sweet yet strong drinks. Food: First, we got their signature tomato flatbread. One is enough to feed 4 people and it alone can serve as a meal. I also got the scallops with asparagus. Delicious. Dessert: You have a choice to pick one of their mini indulgences and for the b-day girl a choice of 2. They were all very delicious but I would recommend the pecan and mocha chocolate. I will definitely be coming back to this place. This place offers 4 seasonal varieties and changes their menu each week. In addition, everything is under 475 calories! Can't wait to see what else they offer.

Visited the Miami location and can honestly say, this is the type of restaurant I was looking for, Tyler was our waiter he was very attentive and had a great sense of humor! He recommended a few items and they were all delicious! We did the wine flights and they were all really good, I preferred the Oaky Merlot, along with the roasted tomatoes flat bread, filet mignon, and triple chocolate rocky road and mocha desserts! I am hoping the location here in LA is just as good, can't wait to go back!

Need reservations but the food, drinks and service are excellent! The trout was delicious and moist, the carrots and potatoes were not over-cooked and mushy, the crab lump salad has just the right mix of salad dressing and ingredients, and the mini-desserts are delicious yet just the right size. Service: excellent (a rarity for large Miami restaurants) ... attentive, cordial, eager to be of service! A definite "repeat" over and over ...

It was a long overdue girls' night out. We started with the artichoke and goat cheese flatbread and a couple bottles of wine sitting at the outside sidewalk tables. After an hour of catching up on the "cheez" and a little people watching, we moved inside for dinner. I had the salmon with a sweet glaze and it was simply amazing. Then we shared the mini desserts. Awesome food and excellent service! Plus so much better when shared with good friends, lots of laughter and too much wine. :)

I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was excellent. I read many great reviews about the food being low in calories so decided to try it. We had the ravioli appetizer which was very delicious. My entree was the steak flatbread, a must try. For my dessert I had the mini s'mores cake super yummy. Everything was great but the best part is leaving dinner content but without leaving super stuffed. It's the perfect meal. A must try in the mile!

This location is excellent! My husband and I recently celebrated our tenth anniversary here. The food and service were perfect. Also, when I made a reservation, they asked if this was for a special occasion and I told them. The restaurant treated us to glasses of champagne and free dessert! Talk about knowing how to make an impression so customers come back -- my husband is already asking when we should go again! If you can, ask for Shawn as your waiter. He has that perfect balance of being attentive without being in our faces!

Last night was my third time visiting and I continue to see myself visiting this wonderful restaurant! It's currently Miami Spice and last night was day one. As always, the service was spectacular and the vibe in the restaurant reminds you of home- super relaxing yet thrilling (because of the food and drinks). The appetizers were delicious but the gem was the filet mignon! I had it well done but it was still juicy and full of flavor- thus the chefs there know how to properly cook meat. And the deserts- wow!! What an amazing experience and I highly recommend this restaurant :)

10 years ago this would have been a five star restaurant. In 2013 it is A-Ok, not because the restaurant isn't good but because there are so many good restaurants in Miami and across the country. The space is lovely, the music nice. The food was pleasant and enjoyable but not a knockout. The service was fine -- except for the server dumping the salad in my dinner companion's lap. The server apologized. The waiter came over and apologized. Then manager came over and apologized and offered free dessert. No thanks. Bottom line is that two weeks later, I really can't remember what I ate.

Great place to have healthy and tasty food. We shared the lobster and mozzarella flatbread to start with and it was very good. The dough is very thin and crunchy. The spicy sauce on top was really good. I wish they would have more lobster (shredded). Then we each had the cedar plank salmon with vegetables and crushed potato (one tiny potato). The salmon was very well cooked, served on the piece of smoked wood, with a mini container of grilled veggies (young carrots, green asparagus, orange beets and the crushed potato). On the side, there is a light creamy dill sauce. It was very good. For dessert, they offer a selection of 10 mini desserts (verrine - served in a shot glass). My friend picked the chocolate smores and it looked delicious. Very healthy lunch with good service. It's a great place!

YOU MUST GO TO SEASONS 52 FOR LUNCH DURING CORAL GABLES RESTAURANT WEEK (ENDS ON JUNE 30TH) My boyfriend and I had the best lunch at Seasons 52 today. We visited Seasons 52 for Coral Gables Restaurant Week. During Coral Gables Restaurant Week (which ends on June 30th), they have a three course menu for a really cheap price. $15 for selected appetizer, lunch, and dessert!!! I ordered Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread for an appetizer, Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno for a main course, and Mini Indulgences for a dessert. My boyfriend ordered Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli, Blackened Fish Tacos, and Mini Indulgences. We assumed the portions would be smaller since the price was really cheap so we added Ahi Tuna Tartare as another appetizer. It turned out that the size of the portions remained the same (which is the perfect size - not too big, not too smalll - each dish contains under 500 calories). Ahi Tuna Tartare was AMAZING. I generally don't like raw fish but I had to try this one because of the way they displayed the food, so beautiful. It's a little pricey - $12 for 3 tunas. But that probably means they used real fish instead of fake ones like a lot of cheap sushi restaurants do. Seasons 52's flatbreads are amazing - Ripe Plum Tomato was perfect for appetizer. It looks like it's big because it's so wide but the crust is so thin that you don't get too full unlike a lot of restaurants who offer so much food/calories for appetizer. Our main course - Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno and Blackened Fish Tacos were great too. Blackened Fish Tacos was nothing special, just like any other taco fish you see at any other restaurants, but healthier at Seasons 52. Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno was so amazing! YUM YUM YUM!! Like the name says it's spicy chicken chile relleno, but inside of a green pepper with mozzarella cheese on top! The size was perfect too! Everything fit inside of a green pepper. Seasons 52's famous dessert - mini indulgences - never fail to disappoint me. With 8 different kinds of desserts, you can pick the flavor you like the most. I had always liked Seasons 52 but today, this restaurant became my favorite. Healthy, a lot of choices, and cheap price!! Can it get any better? I calculated the calories of all the foods I consumed at Seasons 52 today. It turns out to be around 1070 calories - which is pretty good for a three course menu!!

Did the Chef's Tasting Table Menu. The Ft. Lauderdale location does not do it so we had to drive south for it. There is a separate semi private room they hold it in. (SEE PHOTOS) As expected, it was a wonderful experience. The rate was $79.00 per person (without the wine pairing). We brought our own wine($14.00 corkage fee) The meal is set up with an amuse bouche to start which is brought out by the chef and where he introduces himself. It is then followed by appetizers and 4 courses after that ending with their mini indulgences desserts. This was our lineup: AMUSE BOUCHE: seared scallop ceviche (refreshing and delicious) APPETIZERS:chipotle shrimp flatbread/artichoke & goat cheese flatbread/ seared tuna with ginger relish. The tuna was perfect and it had a side of cucumber salad and wasabi which was really good! Both flatbreads were good but the shrimp one was a tad better. FIRST COURSE:cedar plank roasted salmon & scallops. Probably the only big fault of the night was that the salmon was a bit overcooked but it was all very good. SECOND COURSE: organic arugula beet salad with goat cheese, cranberries and pistachios.They forgot the pistachios but otherwise was fantastic. THIRD COURSE: Sonoma goat cheese ravioli. Completely different than any I have ever had. It was very light with a tomato broth under it all. FOURTH COURSE: Mesquite grilled surf & turf. Lamb t bone and artichoke stuffed shrimp with yukon gold truffle mashed and red wine sauce. Divine. Too bad I was already SO full to finish it. They then brought out a tower of their mini desserts. We started to pick from them but we were told the entire thing was for us. Wow. It was about 3-4 per person. I have never had more than 2 during a visit. When we whined (I blame it on the a-a-a-a-alcohol) about the healthy looking fruit one he happily obliged to bring out other ones to replace it with. They even whipped up new pecan ones for us. Needless to say, service was top notch the entire night! And we are a tough crowd to please. Well, at least, I am. Our waiter and servers were all great and added to the great experience. If I had to change anything at all it would be the background music. Apparently all Seasons 52's have a singer/pianist and although they have all been good, they have not been good enough to last the 4 hours we were there (or have been in the past). Only acceptable in small doses.It becomes a bit much and starts to become annoying. We only realized towards the last 1/2 hour that there is a volume control in the semi private room which we could have shut off. Oh well, live and learn. It happened recently while dining in the Ft. Lauderdale location as well. I initially it must have been kareoke. Ooops. Luckily we were so loud ourselves that we were mostly distracted from it. Overall a wonderful experience I would love to have once again. I think it was priced well and worth every penny. Great job Seasons 52!

I thought the food was yummy. Well presented and very well portion. I had the lobster bisque and OMG extremely well made. My girlfriend had the oak grilled filet. I had the seasonal grilled salmon. Both very tasty very well made :) the dessert presentation was excellent and we tried 4 of them. My favorite by far was the mochiato dessert. The service was great. The servers are trained well and serve the food with care and never crossed there arms or bodies between me and my girlfriend. The price point was good as well... Her and I paid 120 with tip and we had drinks as well. The atmosphere was buzzing and jumping for a Thursday the room had great energy. Go there and go often it was excellent

Seasons 52 is an amazing restaurant! Let me convince you to go there..now! 1. The atmosphere: The second you walk into Seasons you are immediately relaxed by the very cool looking fireplace by the door. The booths are so comfortable and you can really make it a dress up night or come casual. You will fit in either way! It is also fun to sit near the kitchen and you can see them cooking some of the food. 2. Service: The service is excellent. The waitstaff is always very friendly and helpful. The wait for food can sometimes be a bit long as it is crowded, but it is so delicious it is worth it! 3. Menu: They have an absolutely creative menu that offers superb options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The menu changes based on the seasons so I feel like there is always something added when I visit. 4. Food: The vegetable soup is so fresh tasting with tons of hearty vegetables. The salads are on the smaller side, but are full of the best seasonal ingredients. I have never had more perfectly grilled and seasoned veggies in my life! The flatbreads are super tasty and not greasy at all. They are light and tasty. You can't forget the desserts! Oh my goodness! The desserts are in these little cups so you can give everything a taste. They are all so delicious that I can never choose just one! Between mousses, lime cake, and lots of chocolate, everyone will find something he or she truly enjoys! The lime has the perfect amount of tangy and sweetness, the mousse is perfectly fluffy, and the chocolate is delectable and creamy. This restaurant is the perfect combination of healthy, delicious, and fresh. It is surely a top Miami restaurant choice!

Great food for a great price. Had the pesto chicken flatbread, cheese ravioli, and a key lime pie mini for dessert. Delicious! Only thing I would change would be the raspberry lemonade that I had. It was not very good. Other than that, great food and the service was great also.

I went to Seasons 52 after it was recommended to me by several people. Arrived 10/9/14 with a colleague about 7:30pm and was promptly seated. We ordered the Quail and the pork loin entrees. The quail was so tough you could have throw it through a bank window and then used the pork loin to pry the drawer open to steal the tellers money. Terrible! On the good side, the service was exceptional, it's too bad we went there for the food. Perhaps the chefs were just having a bad night. Never again!

The food was delicious ! I had a filet mignon with mashed potatoes, asparagus glazed with a red wine sauce. The desserts come in small glasses, they all look delicious! And they also have the option of fresh fruit as a dessert. I was not too happy with the service though, the waitress was very helpful with the menu options but they did not bring us any water and one of our forks had a chunk of food on it which is unacceptable, especially since this restaurant is somewhat pricey. This wasn't enough to say I would never go back, it definitely did not ruin my experience. I loved loved loved the food! So I will definitely be going back! Hopefully soon!!

Having dinner at Seasons 52 was an absolute delight! Exceptional service from the minute we walked through the door. I made a reservation using "open table" on yelp. I recommend this 100% especially on a busy Friday or Saturday night. The wine selection was great! If you're a fan of Pinot Gris, I suggest "King Estate"-it was amazing. On to the good stuff: FOOD! First off, every item on the menu is under 475 calories! Now don't let that fool you or turn you off, the choices are excellent!!! Recommendations: You mustmustmust have a flatbread. Any type of flatbread. My favorite is the steak, mushroom, spinach, and blue cheese flatbread. If you want something tropical try the ceviche. Shrimp, scallop, coconut, red onion, pineapple, and jalapeño! Oh my! Soo good!! Shrimp with lemon basil sauce and veggies was AMAZING!!!! I will definitely be getting this dish again. Mini indulgences desserts are absolutely amazing. Red velvet was my favorite!!! Great decor, food, drinks, and service! What else can you ask for???

I have never left a restaurant in such a foul mood before. Let me start off by saying this is not a review about the food. The food is fine: not crazy great, not awful. The service however? Left the worst taste in my mouth (pun intended). We had reservations for 8:30. We get there at 8:15. No one says: your table is being set, please be patient. And usually when you're 15 minutes early, a well-run restaurant can still seat you. 15 minutes later, I'm dogging the host for seating four tables before us (granted they were there before us) and a table who walked in after us. Finally, PAST our reservation time, a hostess walks up and apologizes for the delay and our table will be ready shortly. And then 20 minutes after we've walked in, we're finally seated next to five empty tables. Thanks a lot Seasons 52. Orders are taken, it's our first time dining here. We get our drinks and lobster flatbread quickly. FYI: that was not enough lobster on a $15 dish. We get a quick howwastheflatbread and we answer with the required fine. And then we don't see our waitress or any food for another hour. ONE HOUR, our dirty app dish still in front of us and empty water (and drink) glasses later, the runner comes with three out of four dishes. I have to not only tell him one of the dishes is wrong (shrimp risotto instead of shrimp pasta), but one of us is missing our dish.. I fear for the runner because I sound like I'm about to rip his head off. After the rest of my party has eaten half of their meal, the waitress finally shows up with my missing entree, mumbles a sorry and then runs off. Ever heard of asking how we're doing? Maybe getting us another drink or refilling our water? Possibly comping us for completely forgetting to include our missing dish? Nope. By the time we finish, we don't even bother with the lauded mini desserts. It takes forever to flag our waitress to get the check (unsurprising), leaving cash because using a card would probably have taken another good half hour. Is hanger clouding my decision? Sadly, no. Let me end by saying, it WAS Christmas Eve. But despite how busy or understaffed you are, management should teach you to check in with your guests with a smile and explanation of the delay (and refill of drinks). The only saving grace about this atrocious service is that the runner stopped by to make sure we received our missing dish; that probably had nothing to do with Seasons 52 management, but just plain ol' good manners.

I like the concept of this restaurant, The menu changes every season to feature food the is fresh. Most of the meals are under 500 calories. They have a nice wine selection. And a nice decor. It is a chain restaurant and I prefer restaurants that are local and not chains. But this is a well done chain. Staff is professional and it is a well managed restaurant.

Awesome place. We came here with our family and friends after we got married at the court house. The food was wonderful...I love how all of the dishes are cooked with fresh organic ingredients. The portions are on the smaller side but I prefer quality over quantity any day. We ended up running into rick Scott governor of FL. Had a nice chat with him in a really classy place. Will definitely go back there again.

Birthday dinner was here and I did not regret one thing about it! Our server was fantastic, the food was exquisite, the ambiance was great with the live piano player and her sultry voice...well, it was unforgettable! I recommend the BBQ Chicken salad- I know, sounds so common but it's filling and so delicious! The dessert presentation is quite clever as it makes you want to eat all of them (you'll have to go in order to find out what I'm talking about!) but the all chocolate one is perfection in a cup! It's not too chocolate-y, it's just right. The menu choices are delicious and everything is under 475 calories which makes looking good very easy!

Seasons 52 is a great restaurant for those looking for a fresh and healthy meal. Everything on the menu has nutritional info listed, all the ingredients are gathered from local farms (supposedly), and the menu rotates seasonally, so there are always new items to try. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and has an excellent bar with live music at nights. I have had a bit of everything on the menu, soups, flat breads, steaks, pork loins, fish, desserts - and they are all great. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that while everything is great, nothing leaps out as being amazing. I will say that the tomato basil soup is amazing (when available), and the flat breads are excellent.

Looking for a Miami Spice menu to try out in the Gables, this was the winner. I had never been before but always heard great things. If you're going in to play along with the whole low calorie, health bit deal, then don't do Miami Spice. However, if you're looking to have a really good meal with excellent service in a nice atmosphere, then this is the place. We arrived at 7 on a Tuesday night to an almost empty dining area. However, by the time we left, the place was packed. They scored points in my book for flat out giving you the Miami Spice menu, unlike some restaurants that try to hide it. We had the tuna and avocado roll, stuffed mushrooms, salad, filet mignon and key lime and chocolate mousse desserts. I can't say I disliked one thing that I tried. We left so full but not disappointed. It's an awesome deal (a $33 dinner menu) for Miami Spice, but I will definitely be back on a regular night.

Such a good casual lunch kept simple yet delicious. Wine of the day was good deal unexpected service impeccably courteous
First of all, I love food. This is a restaurant trying to market healthy food which it fails at miserably. I have never had a more tasteless and un-satisfying meal in all my life. They took a juicy buffalo burger that was supposed to be cooked medium rare, cooked it to the consistency of a hockey puck, and put it on a stale, cardboard tasting, whole grain bun. They served said hockey puck with a thimble full of what was supposed to be truffle sauce to try to give it some semblance of flavor. The tots were fried chunks of tofu that again had zero flavor. I imagine this food is what they fed inmates at Alcatraz, #prisonriot. One star because they did have good service. If you enjoy food that tastes good this is NOT the place for you.

Seasons 52 is pretty delicious, although after checking out their nutritional information online I'm a little turned off by how healthy they claim to be. All of their dishes are under 475 calories. That is per dish. Ordering an appetizer, entree, side dish and dessert can run you over 1500 calories before even getting to a drink. Also, low calorie does not mean low fat and especially not low sodium, but that's what you get in most restaurants. With that said, it is pretty easy to make good and healthy choices here. They have plenty of vegetarian friendly dishes, and the portions are just right. My husband and I came to dinner on a week night with our toddler, and the staff was really accommodating. The ambiance is a little romantic, but nothing kills that like a kid shouting, "DANCE!" when the pianist began to play.

I went to Seasons 52 during my lunch break yesterday. Their whole shtick is in-season, healthy food (all menu items under 475 calories. I ordered the jalapeno braised beef tacos. They were abut $10 and absolutely amazing. Great flavor and a lot of food - was hard to believe that the whole thing was under 475 cal. The ambiance was great and the service was good too. I definitely plan to return.

To start off I was a disappointed that you guys had no bread at the begining of the meal, it was my Dads Birthday so I expected a great culinary experience for the price unfortunately not so!! The service was good but not great they're was a point that we never saw our server and the restaurant wasnt even busy. The food was very so so nothing out of this world very dissapointing also decided to do a super fruit Martini nothing great tasted better Martinis. Dessert was also very lame for such an expensive place all they had was these little samplers of dessert to choose from at least mine was good it was strawberry something with a piece of Cannoli, On a Good note the Piano player was great so at least that made the food bearable. So I was definetly dissapointed after all the great Yelp reviews I expected more from such a high scale restaurant.

My hubby and I headed for Seasons 52 to celebrate the last hurrah of the Miami Spice 2012 season :( The sadness is for the end of the season, not for our experience at the restaurant. In fact, we chose this particular place because it never disappoints. They have consistently good food and we were very glad to learn that they decided to participate in Miami Spice this year. From an earlier experience, we knew that their Miami Spice Menu included some of the most popular items of their regular menu and the portions are generous, so you will feel satisfied at the end of the meal. One thing that you have to keep in mind when you go there is that their menu changes frequently, but it's so expansive that there is always something for everyone. This time I started my meal with the ripe plum tomato flatbread with fresh basil, roasted garlic, and melted Parmesan cheese. I really liked it. Besides, I was so hungry that my hubby was able to grab only one piece before I threatened to kill him if he touched my food again. The flatbread is really thin and crispy and the tomatoes and basil were definitely fresh. If you go to Seasons 52 try one of their flatbreads, they have a great selection and they are always yummy. For his appetizer my hubby ordered the roasted shrimp, lump crab and spinach stuffed mushrooms. This appetizer was delicious and very original. It comes served in the type of dish that is normally reserved for escargot. Each little hole has a serving of mushroom and a whole shrimp with layered spinach, crab and parmesan cheese. One of my new favorite things there. We both wanted to have soup, but we didn't like any of the two options they had so he went with the baby spinach salad with seasonal pears, toasted pine nuts, and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. I love fruit in a salad, so this hit the right spot for me. I know this sounds a little too healthy for us, but we were just starting the meal. I also ordered a salad for my second course :/ but I went with the mixed greens, toasted pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, cucumbers, and white balsamic vinaigrette. It was okay, but I'm not really into ordering salads unless they have tortilla chips and generous servings of chicken, cheese, bacon, chicharrones, truffles or any other similar light topping :) The good thing is that we were only half way through our meal and our entrees didn't disappoint. My hubby had the char crust fillet mignon with cremini mushrooms, rainbow carrots, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes. Ok, I confess that when he excused himself to the bathroom, I ate half his steak and all of the mashed potatoes. But I rearranged everything before he came back and he didn't notice anything missing :) He is a rookie! For my (second?) entree I had the caramelized sea scallops with roasted asparagus, and sun-dried tomato-mushroom pasta. The scallops were yummy! perfectly cooked, moist inside, nicely seared outside, just the right combination of sweet and savory. The pasta was really original. I thought it was israeli couscous at first but then realized it was pasta. It was nice and tender and I cleaned out the plate before my hubby got to try anything (grrr....he had been warned!). Desserts at Seasons 52 are like Christmas to me. They bring you eight (yes, eight) different desserts in shot glasses for you to pick one. Well, not me, I chose a bit more than one and ate them too. My rookie hubby watched them disappear quickly one by one... This was a great way to end a very gratifying Miami Spice Season in 2012.

I just LOVE Seasons 52. I am not a fan of chains at all but boy this restaurant does not disappoint. The menu is seasonal which I love and everything is under 475 calories...WHAT? yes I said it! 475 calories, get ready to eat your heart out! I love the portion sizes as at any other restaurant I have to say a prayer and hope to god that I don't have a heart attack after my meal as the sizes are HUUUUGE. Here, nope, you don't have to say your prayers! The waiter was really friendly and made some jokes throughout the meal. He was attentive and no complains about him. We had the organic pomegranate acai blueberry iced tea which was delish! They charged us $4.25 each (we all had this drink) and he informed me that they sell it in whole foods so today I went to buy some and they were $1.35 there. HUGE difference....I understand it's a restaurant but STILL they are buying it at wholesale prices so there is no excuse to rack it up that much! I digress...onto the meal. We had edamame which was good and all 3 of us had the BBQ chicken with green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes. Now, I usually do NOT eat chicken but I did some research on where their chickens are from and it is like the first certified humane chicken farm in the US and I kept googling if there were any people that found out otherwise behind the scenes and reported it but everything turned up really well. Way to go Seasons 52! It was really good and you could tell that the meat had no hormones or additives in it. I've also had the shrimp with pasta dish in the past which was also mmm-mmm-good! We skipped on the dessert and headed to Misha's cupcakes but they did look pretty tasty here!! Next time next time....

The food here was excellent. I had the lobster bisque as an appetizer and it was VERY good. As an entree I had the Maui Ahi Tuna Crunch Salad, which had grilled pineapple, seared tuna, & almonds with a toasted sesame dressing. It was very good, but a bit plain, in my opinion. I also had a very delicious glass of Riesling (Selbach-Oster QbA) which was amazing! My husband had the Mayan Grouper with a black bean salad that added a tropical flavor to it which he really enjoyed and my son had a very generous portion sized children's grilled chicken and vegetables platter. For dessert we had a peanut butter something or the other and another called Rocky Road which was my favorite. What I liked the most about this place was the entertainment. Tonight they had a young woman playing the piano and singing. I'm not sure if it was my melancholic mood, but she played beautifully and sang equally great. She transformed songs that play on the radio as dance and even hip hop songs into jazzy/bluesy almost depressing melodies, which for this particular night was exactly what my ear wanted. From Usher to Camila, along with the tasteful decor and dim lighting, her talent made the ambiance of this restaurant a very pleasant one. Overall, great experience. You should try it.

The clever concept raises the bar on everyday retaurants. The food is good, healthy and well prepared. The staff is expertly trained. While Seasons 52 will never make the James Beard Best list! It is a place you can eat each week without getting bored.

I was very impressed after my lunch here! Walking in there is definitely a steakhouse ambiance but don't be fooled the menu is 5 stars healthy gourmet and surprisingly delicious! At 475 calories a plate this is the perfect place to share a few plates and not balloon up the calories. Our waiter Donavan was definitely the hostess with the mostess. He recommended me a great cocktail, the pomegranate martini, I absolutely loved it. It was refreshing but not to sweet nor overly salty like a margarita. The food was fresh and light but yet delicious. We devoured every dish including the mini indulgent desserts, a must try! Great lunch spot...can't wait to come back for dinner!

I tried Seasons 52 at the suggestion of several coworkers who raved about the place. I will admit that when I heard the dishes were all 475 calories I wasn't expecting much flavor. However I was pleasantly surprised. We started off with the Blackened Steak & Blue Cheese flatbread which was very good. For the entree we had the Springer Mountain Farm All-Natural BBQ Chicken and Swordfish. Both were flavorful and considerably sized portions. The size of our Pecan Pie and Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse was just right to make us feel content and not overly stuffed. The service was also on point.

Hadn't had such a great dining experience in awhile! From the moment we walked in, service was impeccable. We arrived a bit earlier than our reservation and sat for a little while at the bar, the bartender was really good and the drinks were well made. We were promptly seated at the time of our reservation, the ambiance is quite inviting and romantic. Noise level is enough to be able to carry a conversation. Now onto the food...we tried the Plum Tomato Flatbread, Shrimp and lobster stuffed mushrooms and my date had the fillet mignon. Everything was delicious! This place has a new fan! can't wait to go back.

I don't know where to start with this review... should I tell you how awesome it was to have a sweet and attentive waiter first? Or how nice it is to sit back and enjoy a meal while worrying a teeny bit less about the calorie count? Or maybe I should skip straight to dessert and tell you how I housed two decadent and delicious dessert shots before my dining partner had time to look up from his. Wherever I start this review it's going to end at the same glowing description of a much needed evening out. This was a cheat meal that didn't make me feel like I had cheated at all. Seasons 52 has taken healthy to a finer dining level. While you may be put off by smaller portion sizes, stop and remember they've done that on purpose to keep their entrees under 475 calories. I'm willing to pay an extra buck or two for that and a more seasonally focused menu, which they also boast. They change their weekly specials 52 times a year (which is why their name is Seasons 52). I definitely recommend making a reservation since we heard people waiting upwards of 45 minutes on a Saturday night. I can't wait to come back here and try different parts of their menu. Dinner on this trip was the pork tenderloin and the scallops -- both entrees were delicious! I stopped and noted that nothing tasted like it had MSG in it, a welcomed surprise I'll tell you! If you're looking for a date night that won't bust your belt, come to Seasons 52 -- you'll feel fancy without feeling flabby!

The first thing that struck me upon walking in is that this restaurant does not feel very "Miami." It's a rather large, handsome, dimly lit, brick & wood affair. There are quite a few tables and booths, and to the left of the restaurant sits a stately, substantial bar with live piano music (at least when I was there on Sunday night). It looks and feels like something I would expect in Aspen or Vail. The only things missing are hooks for winter coats, and snow bunnies in stretch pants sitting at the bar. Service is amiable to say the least - and very Houstons-like with the entire staff clad in black. The food? I'll get to that in a second. I just have to come right out and say it, though - this place is not "cool." It's by no means the urban-chic that seems to be so ubiquitous in Miami right now. In fact, it seems to be a bit of a throwback, beginning with the patrons - let's just say that the median age here seems to be pretty high. By no means will this place set your little hipster hearts aflutter. The menu is a modest one-pager, wine list on the front. It seemed to be a nice list. Beers on offer are a bit lame, though they do have Cigar City's Jai-Alai. I didn't see a cocktail menu, though I suspect they are capable of mixing up some excellent "classic" cocktails. I'll test this suspicion out someday. I think the idea here is healthy, yet flavorful, fine dining, with a menu that changes by the season (hence, the name). None of the entrees top 475 calories, and that's true of the apps, too. I was in my Yelp review mode, so I was hoping to order as much as I thought I could eat. I started out with a seasonal roasted squash plate ($3.75!) and the grilled steak and cremini mushroom flatbread. The winter squash was tasty and very simple. There were meaty slabs of what I think were butternut, acorn and delicata varieties. When was the last time you had such a healthy appetizer? I was a big fan of the flatbread - extremely thin crust with equally thin slices of steak, chunks of mushroom and dabs of melted blue cheese. After that, I had the wood roasted pork tenderloin, and I was impressed. The succulent, moist pork medallions were perfectly cooked to medium (as noted by the server), not at all overdone and dry as pork sometimes can be. It carried with it a slight hint of maple and rosemary. The meat rested on a bed of polenta, spinach and more cremini mushrooms - a subtle dish, no doubt, but very well-executed. Desserts come in shot glasses for $2.50. I love this concept. They come out with a tray of 7-8 of them, and hand them to you on the spot when you choose. I went with the pecan pie-in-a-shot-glass. It was great, how could pecan pie not be? I also loved the vanilla mousse underneath the "pie" part, that was a nice touch. And yes, your shot glass is 475 calories or less, though I'm guessing that they all scrape up against that 475 calorie ceiling ;) I'm looking forward to coming back. I think we need more restaurants like this in Miami.

Some one in management just ruined one of the best places in Miami by getting rid of the piano player. We used to love it. Have spent thousands of dollars over the last years and the reason, the only place in town with a piano bar. We went Sunday, it was ridiculous. Instead of fine entertainment there was a liquor display. Seasons neither has the best food nor best wine, you got rid of the best thing you had going. Won't be going back, its now like a funeral parlor.

I tried it because I got a $25 dining card from Amex and after going online to look at what it was I decided to try it for lunch. I went today at 3:30ish and the place was empty. Its an odd time to have lunch so I didn't think much of it. We sat outside and there was another table there with what seemed like the only other occupied table in the place. We were handed the menus when we walked in but it took a while for the server to come take our order. We ordered water which was brought over promptly and then I ordered a seared tuna app and a grilled wild salmon for my entree. My sister ordered an an app of some beans and mushrooms as well as an ahi tuna salad with salmon substituted for the tuna. The food took awhile to come out which is why I started looking around a little more and noticed there were like 6 tables at most that had people and the one next to us had already eaten. I wondered why our food was taking so long but if it was as good as I hoped I could forget the time it took to get my food. My seared tuna came and it was alright. I finished it and then after a while longer the rest came out. My salmon was the single worst salmon I've ever had. I wanna say it was an old piece of salmon since it smelled and tasted really fishy, which fresh salmon never should. It was on the specials menu and I know restaurants use this tactic to get rid of old food but mind you this entree came in at a hefty cost of $28 so I was thinking it would obviously be fresh, hence why I ordered it but boy was I wrong. I'm going back to avoiding fish on specials menus like the plague. My sister's app was forgettable, she took a few bites and left it. Her salad with the salmon substitution was good. Her non-wild salmon was better than mine and the piece was just as big. Her plate was only $14. I wouldn't have even paid that for mine. I wanted a beer and our server came by to the table next to us a few times while we were waiting for our food but didn't look our way once even though I kept looking at her and then saying excuse me when she would dart back inside from that table. She finally came by when someone from the kitchen brought out our food and I ordered my beer. I had practically finished my dish when my beer came. I kept scratching my head as to why the service was so bad even though the restaurant was practically empty. I'm surprised because of all the good reviews on here, especially some praising my servers excellent service. Service in this country tends to not be great which I've gotten used to but this one was just absolutely horrible especially given that the place was empty. My personal recommendation based on this experience, walk down two blocks to chicken kitchen and enjoy a good healthy cheap lunch there but if you want a nice restaurant, I wouldn't try this particular one. $75 for 2 people before tip considering what we got for it is an insult. I was half glad I had the $25 dining card and left a 10% tip. If our server hadn't at least brought quickly the water at the beginning and then espresso and the check at the end, she would've gotten no tip from me. Service: 1/5 Food: 1/5 for my wild salmon but 0/5 if you factor in the price. I have been to a few places that have made me want to start an account to review it on here because of how bad it was and seasons 52 was the one that actually made me do it, this is my 1st review. Its supposedly healthy seasonal food but I don't care what the theme is, when your seafood tastes old and you charge up the ying yang for it you won't be seeing me again.

Season's 52 is a rare finding in Miami. It's both healthy and delicious with fantastic menu offerings. We ordered the shrimp stuffed mushroom caps for an appetizer and filet mignon (perfectly cooked to order) for my entree. Both were well balanced and scrumptious. For dessert, we ordered a couple of minis including the pecan pie mini which was by far the best. Do yourself a favor and order the pecan pie mini. As an added bonus, the staff really makes you feel welcome. They're glad to have you and keep the highest standards for the food they put out. We have been back several times since our first visit and it's always been fantastic food and service!

First impression of this restaurant is very good...great Atmosphere, very good food and excellent service. We had a problem with our meals and the manager was at our table in less than a minute, very apologetic, more than an adequate response. If we lived here, we'd probably eat here at least every couple of weeks. Rotating menu is very clever and ensures a quality experience.

Consistent healthy and tasty! Good service and what more would you ask for? It's a great addidition to Coral Gables!

All organic and beautiful restaurant but portions are too small for my husband and I.

The food is good and feels fresh and healthy. The flatbreads are great. I love that they keep their menu updated to what is in season. The drinks are spectacular.

The only reason this place got 3 stars instead of 4 was because of the slow service. I sat there for 10-15 minutes waiting for a server...while the server who was outside passed me 3 times at least without even acknowledging me. Now, I know they were super slow...it was lunch time, it was just me and one other guy sitting outside. HOWEVER I do believe that it is the whole place's fault when a guest doesn't get greeted, or gets downright ignored. I was sat by the hostess - who should have let the server know that her section was seated. AND the manager was there..saw me get seated, then proceeded to not tell the server I was there. The other server who continued to come out and check on her guest also could have let my server know I was there. They place a coaster on your table so everyone knows you've been greeted....so it should have been obvious that I had not been. I had to flag down the server who was ignoring me, and then wait another 5 minutes for my server to finally show up. She wasn't even really friendly or apologetic. Just, "Are you ready to order?" No, actually, I've had time to study the menu and now I have questions! She did oblige and get me samples of both a soup and a wine (the wine selection is great, btw) and was relatively speedy the rest of my lunch. Still though. The whole thing took 1.5 hours. Who wants to spend 1.5 hours at lunch??? There are other places on Miracle Mile I'll go to first before visiting this place again. Yeah, it's delicious and beautiful, but I really hate being ignored.

A caveat: I am not much of a patron of franchises so my critique may be biased. My hypothesis: Americans are becoming obsessed with the notion that knowing your caloric intake determines whether you are deemed "healthy." I however do not subscribe to the calorie-counting culture; therefore, this bistro dishes are not worthy of celebration. The day that I wake up obese is the day that I will reconsider my position.. Overall, I walked away more impressed with the concept, wine, and the service than the food. I have been there twice for dinner out of convenience. I tried the tomato and shrimp flatbread and both times was more excited by the description than the sabor. Perhaps, they are cooking with canola instead of butter or olive oil to keep the calories down... For entrees, I tried the scallops and Pork tenderloin and it was good but not delicious. My friend had the Rainbow trout and we agreed that was the best entree. As for the desserts, the novelty supersedes the quality. Also, getting to the bathroom is a bit of a bottleneck. What I do like is that it is low-lit, the flatbread and desserts are easy to share so they score high on the "fun factor." Also, both the kitchen and the servers are open especialy when I inquired if the scallops were wet or dry-

Had dinner there for the first time last night. Simple healthy menu items with every item including dessert no more than 475 calories. Besides their food, the staff is incredibly friendly and pleasant. One of the friendliest if not the friendliest staff of any restaurant I have been to in Miami. Lorena waited on us and she was a pleasure. Definitely worth checking out.
(4)Ketsia J.
Good food! Enjoyed the Flat Breads immensely... appreciate the concept of being health conscious. The service was great and so is the wine selection. Great stand by if you need a place to eat with friends with a nice ambience.
(3)Juan Jose D.
My initial experience was good at this restaurant, is a different approach, where they try to focus on healthy food and everything below 475 calories but without leaving any of the good ingredients out. Staff is super helpful, the place is rather more classy and traditional than Miamesque, my experience was over a business lunch so wasn`t able to pay attention to all details or to over order in order to enter Yelp mode. Initially Ill give them 3 stars, just because they didnt surprise my palate, but Im completely open and looking forward to come back again and hopefully change it to a higher rating.
(3)emran a.
Very good overall. A- I'd say. Very surprised to find out that it is a high crime restaurant according to officer. In the Gables? Must be the economy. Watch your purses and wallets!
(4)Adam P.
Great atmosphere, wonderful service, justifiable pricing, & enjoyable food. The restaurant succeeds beyond the gimmick of the calorie count. Unfortunately some entrees need improvement. I would not hesitate to return here though. Heather is an exceptional server.
(4)Bruce S.
We went with another couple and had a really good time. The drinks were excellent. We all ordered something different and everyone enjoyed their dishes. The chard, salmon, and scallops were especially tasty. No complaints!!
(5)John H.
I have become a regular to this place, you will find me at the bar enjoying a live "piano man" after 6p and a friendly bar staff. The food is fresh, tasty and healthy. I have to second Jessica's comments "The menu at seasons is interesting. First, it's seasonally inspired. Second, everything listed is under 475 calories. Nothing is low fat or low carb. It's just an appropriate portion." I especially like the flatbreads and the salads. In short it is friendly enough to frequent and enjoy a good meal and great atmosphere.
(5)Kyrene G.
Nice place with good food. Me and my husband went for lunch and were pleased with the food and service. They have live music on occasions.
(4)Peter A.
so i finally made it out to season 52 last night after a networking event and i was quite satisfied. the atmosphere is fun and somewhat loud, but quite enough to have a nice conversation. a definite first date type of place. keep in mind that their under 500 calorie claim is for EACH item. the wines were reasonably priced, except for one ( priced at $90) the tuna crunch salad is amaziing! there flatbreads are great! and the stuffed mushroom with shrimp is great! and the deserts were awesome remember that 500 calorie claim??? well add it up... salad = 475 mushroom =550 flat bread = 475 desert = 375 totals 1,875 calories! i felt like such a fat ass! but at the end of the night, it was a good time. i'll definitely be visiting them agian and reservations are a must!!!!!
(4)Mario K.
Went there for a date night with my wife. Very nice!. Totally new restaurant. Decor and ambiance gives a northeastern feel to the place. Great service. Good food but the fillet Mignon, my wife had, was great,( "melts in your mouth-great"). If you go; reserve thru Yelp- it's a great service. As I left my home, logged on to yelp, got address, reserved and when I got there we sat right away and felt like they knew me already. I will take there some Friends next time.
(4)Jacqueline R.
The place itself is lovely and the orange martini is great. Now everything else was awful. The bartender was rude and aloof as was the snooty piano player. I requested a song and she ignored me but a man flirted with her and he got his song right away!! The food was a disappointment.
(2)Cristy M.
I really like the food at Seasons 52. Everything I have had has been excellent. The flatbreads seem to be the most popular. We had one and they really were good. The amiance is nice.
(4)Tony D.
Started lunch with a bang! The rosemary and parmesan flatbread was delicious! I had the goat cheese ravioli with veggies (asparagus, tomato, mushrooms). Flavorful and filling. Closed it off with a mini-dessert (a dessrt shot) of key lime, which was also good although I always prefer a bit more tart in my key lime. Service from door through table was excellent. This place is spot on for lunch.

I recently had a group dining event for about 50 guests at Seasons 52, to celebrate our marriage. We didn't want a church wedding, but instead wanted to have an event to bring our families and friends together. We were choosing between Seasons, Joe's Stone Crab, and Smith & Wollensky; but ended up on Seasons because of the healthier food, and we're glad we did (after the night was over, we realized that it was more than the food that made the night awesome, details below). The room: We rented out the Napa and Sonoma rooms, and there were four rectangular tables set up seating at least 10 people comfortably. The space was perfect for 50 guests; it wasn't too crowded, everyone described it as being "cozy". The decor was nice - same as the decor in the main dining area, and had a wall full of wine bottles which was cute. The lighting was a little brighter than in the main dining area, but it was perfect because of the type of event. Also the temperature in the room was perfect; I've been to places where its too cold or just hot, but none of that was an issue the whole night. The service: Our event started at 7pm, but my husband, myself and a few friends showed up about and hour early to set up some table arrangements. The manager and executive chef came over to meet us and told us if there was anything we needed to make the night perfect to let them know. We were also introduced to the wait staff assigned to us for the night - Enrique, Camille, Betsy, and one more whom I can't remember the name. They asked how we wanted the night structured, and we agreed on cocktails, appetizers, main course, dessert. Enrique was great and coordinated timing details such as when we wanted him to fire up the flatbreads while we were having cocktails and told us how long it would take so that we wouldn't be waiting too long for it; he was checking in with us at different points during the night to see how we were doing, etc. Overall the waiters did a phenomenal job in taking care of everyone, and was just on top of everything. The food: There are different menu options for group dining, and we chose the Cabernet Sauvignon menu. It came with flatbreads, appetizers, salad, main course, and dessert. It was served to us family style on silver platters, and it was delicious!!!!! Everyone was commenting on how great the food was. Overall: It was a great experience though the combination of ambiance, food, and service. Highly recommend Season's 52 if you need to have a flawless event.

I love the food at Seasons 52, however the bartenders are very rude at this location. My husband and I had dinner at this location over a month ago. We decided to have another drink after dinner, so we went to the bar. I took my martini from dinner with me. A bartender came up to my husband and asked him if he wanted something to drink. He ordered his cocktail. I then noticed that 3 bartenders kept looking at me and then talking to each other. One of them kept staring, so I asked if there something wrong. She said we didn't know where your drink came from. I made a joke and said across the street. Hello it's in your glass. She didn't seem to like it. I said you don't have to be so rude and her response was "you don't need to be so upset". She kept it going for at least a minute. Needless to say. I didn't have another drink. I would also like to add that we were there a month, or so prior to this visit. Our waiter was awesome. I would recommend not sitting next to the kitchen because there was a friend crawling on our waiter's arm. He handled it very well. We overlooked this because things happen, however rude service is not acceptable. I will enjoy Seasons 52 at another location.

Saturday Dec 3rd, the 4 of us friends went to Seasons 52. Valet greatly appreciated. Great atmosphere, nice setting restaurant to enjoy the best cosmopolitan and martini drinks. The bar tender was great! Dinner Nice booth, comfortable, clean, nice decor. We need the flashlight app to read the menu but love the lighting so don't change it but you could simply change your fonts on the menus. The staff was great. The food..., well the meats were perfectly cooked and tasted great! I would put less garlic in the mashed potatoes served with my lamb and ad a chop of lamb, 3 is simply not enough and I'm a 120 pd girl. The appetizer my girl friend and I had was the crab and shrimp stuffed mushroom witch was all wrong ....a little mushroom cap at the bottom, 2 hole shrimps under-cooked over and no crab, topped with cheese in a escargot dish. No seasoning, it tasted nothing. My husband had the Ahi tuna ... excellent. The service was fast, they brought the main course while our appetizers plates were still in front of us. Selection of wine is ok but no Italians...no Brunellos di Montalcino 2006, witch is my favorite. Over all it was a great evening 2 bottles of wine and a great dinner for $400.00 for the 4 of us. I will go back and recommend it , I love there concept of the healthy and seasonal cooking. Tanya

Went back and tried a buffalo burger this time with a side salad. Missed the quintessential french fries a bit but my first experience with a game meat was fantastic. I will caveat my reviews by saying i have never actually paid for a meal here (always makes it better) but so far still a fan!
(4)Rene S.
Enjoyed the piano player within the bar. Nice loungy vive today. Excellent mojito, cosmo, bbq chicken salad and fish risotto. Oak wood buring in the background smells so good!
(5)Denisse M.
My girlfriends and I were looking for a nice place to go out to dinner, and this restaurant exceeded our expectations. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was very good, very attentive but never annoying, and the food well... it was incredible!!, It is a seasonal menu and all the entrees are under 475 calories, and don't you think that the portions are small because they are not... And then they have this little desserts that are mini versions of like pecan pie, or key lime pie, etc... So if you are like me that have a sweet tooth you can have your delicious desserts and don't feel guilty about it. So great place highly recommend everybody to try it.
(5)Marielle G.
A very nice option for gluten-free/celiac safe dining. The menu is pretty limited but I have never gotten sick from eating here. They appear to be very careful with their preparations of gluten-free foods. I am also dairy-free and since there is no butter in their kitchen, you can be sure that you won't get hidden sources of dairy after telling them to leave off cheese or sour cream. Always crowded and a little on the noisy side, which is why I don't give it five stars.
(4)Ron B.
I have been to about 5 or 6 Seasons 52 restaurants and love them all. This is the first time in the Coral Gables store and the atmosphere was very nice with a young lady playing the piano. I had a pasta dish and glass of wine. Both were very nice and the pricing was on point. The service was a little spotty and cost them the 5th star. When taking inventory the bartender and counter should try to work together a little more so we do not have to flag her down. My 2 friends also enjoyed themselves and we will surely come again.
(4)K J.
Went here for lunch for the first time yesterday. Wow. Food was amazing, service was great, it was clean and classy. I ordered the Mayan snapper, which I normally wouldn't order at a restaurant only because it's usually hard to get fresh fish that's cooked properly. This snapper was cooked to perfection and it tasted clean, very fresh, and was seasoned just right. I almost passed on dessert because I was so full but then our waitress came around with the display of desserts and we couldn't say no. I got the carrot cake and hubby got the pecan pie. Heaven!!! This is my new favorite restaurant.
(5)Jim L.
Had a terrific Miami Spice special sampler menu and the food was excellent!

I started to give this place two stars since I went there a Thursday ago and service a was perfect and came back with my parents to an experience that started out awful was saved by the manager and then ruined again. I am giving it three stars because of Jeffrey the manager for trying. First off, I made my reservation at the desk the week before and requested a certain booth and waitress. I didn't get either and all I did in between was move my reservation back. This would have been fine except when I mentioned this to the hostess she snootily told me "Well, we don't have that in the reservation." Um, yes I realize that this is why I brought it to your attention. A more appropriate response would have been I am so sorry we do not have any more booths available tonight but I will make sure that it is in the commuter for next time which is what the manager eventually said. I come to Coral Gables to get away from South Beach attitude. We arrived early and for the first time ever I had to wait until my actual reservation time they almost always get you in. That part was fine but then when we were finally sat it took more than 20 minutes for a waiter to acknowledge, introduce themselves or bring us water. I finally flagged down a waitress whose table it wasn't and she got our waitress then she and the other waitress Diana stood next to our table and whispered to each other about how we were complaining (however they didn't whisper loud enough for me not to hear-clearly an amateur move and I was able to hear every single word which included things like "They say you didn't come introduce yourself and give them water and the other waitress being defensive and saying its not true." I am sure these conversations happen but do it outside the customers earshot. Finally, the manager came over and apologized and brought out our appetizers and soup fast. When he was paying attention everything was good. Towards the end of the meal it took forever -no one checked on our food, the check took a long time to come out and they originally forgot our hot water and tea. I am hoping this was just an off night for them since the week before I came and everything was perfect including my waitress. I really didn't appreciate the attitude from the hostess-the waitress eventually was nicer but still not that competent.

Joel was the most attentive and knowledgeable server I have had in a long time. From the moment we sat down he made us feel at home. We started with the Wine Tasting Special they have which is $15.00 per person ( this is only till 6pm) This includes a small tasting of 3 wines. Once you taste you choose 1 for a Full Glass and it comes with a Flat bread. We had the Garlic Chicken and Steak and Cremini it was delicious. We then participated in the Miami Spice Menu. The Menu was 4 Courses, I had the Tuna & Avocado Roll which was very flavorful. I then had the Steak Soup which was delicious and for the entree i chose the filet mignon which had the most amazing oaky and smoky and grilled flavor. I am a big steak person and I was in love with this steak, it was accompanied with veggies and mash potatoes. And we ended with the dessert shot which I had the Key lime Pie. All great selections and to top it all off they had a pianist playing in the back ground. I recommend this restaurant to any one in the Coral Gables area looking for a culinary delight and amazing service. You will walk out like we did with a smiling face and a full tummy. Thank you Joel for reminding us great service still exist. We will be back!
(5)Kevin B.
Everything on the menu is less than 475 calories. So don't order wine or beer or you'll blow your diet! They are know for their flat breads. Try the garlic chicken. As for entree, I had the cedar plank salmon. It was moist, HOT and cooked perfectly. We got there early and sat at the bar before dinner. I've never seen a piano behind the bar area. Yep, you heard me. The bartenders walk around someone playing a piano while they serve drinks. The bar was relatively empty and thus quiet. And if the flatbreads and salmon don't fill you up, you'll have room for dessert served in a shot glass for $2.50. You get a taste of one of their delicious desserts at about the 1/4 of the size. Genius move to serve them in the small size via the shot glass as a vessel.

A little pricey, but fabulous food under 500 calories!

This was my 1st visit. I had called ahead to make sure it was child friendly, I have 2 (3 year and a 1 1/2 years), the response was yes it is. It might be but not on a Friday night. It's very dark and no crayons to entertain kids, but that said everything else was fantastic. My son loves veggies and the chicken and broccoli dish was perfect for him and at the end they made him a fruit cut which was great. Our server was very knowledgable and great with recommendations especially when I had little time to look at the menu with my 2 little ones. The wine he selected for my dinner was spot on. I wish I could remember his name he was great. He worked Friday June 10, party of 5 we were seated close to kitchen and my son had chicken and broccoli he deserves a pat on the back. Can't wait to visit you again when I'm in Miami.

Incredible flat breads. Wow enjoyed. Great place.

Went there for my wife's birthday and the service and attention to detail were amazing. And yes the food was wonderful as well! They really went out of their way to make my wife's birthday dinner special. I can't wait to go back!
(5)Natalie I.
I like the concept of this restaurant, The menu changes every season to feature food the is fresh. Most of the meals are under 500 calories. They have a nice wine selection. And a nice decor. It is a chain restaurant and I prefer restaurants that are local and not chains. But this is a well done chain. Staff is professional and it is a well managed restaurant.
(3)Marvin A.
The food was exceptional and very fresh.
(3)Shibei R.
Awesome place. We came here with our family and friends after we got married at the court house. The food was wonderful...I love how all of the dishes are cooked with fresh organic ingredients. The portions are on the smaller side but I prefer quality over quantity any day. We ended up running into rick Scott governor of FL. Had a nice chat with him in a really classy place. Will definitely go back there again.
(4)Virginia M.
Birthday dinner was here and I did not regret one thing about it! Our server was fantastic, the food was exquisite, the ambiance was great with the live piano player and her sultry voice...well, it was unforgettable! I recommend the BBQ Chicken salad- I know, sounds so common but it's filling and so delicious! The dessert presentation is quite clever as it makes you want to eat all of them (you'll have to go in order to find out what I'm talking about!) but the all chocolate one is perfection in a cup! It's not too chocolate-y, it's just right. The menu choices are delicious and everything is under 475 calories which makes looking good very easy!
(5)Ivette R.
Wow Wow Wow can u believe how good Seasons 52 is Oh my God.I went to Seasons 52 in Miracle Mile today and I loved the food
(5)David A.
Seasons 52 is a great restaurant for those looking for a fresh and healthy meal. Everything on the menu has nutritional info listed, all the ingredients are gathered from local farms (supposedly), and the menu rotates seasonally, so there are always new items to try. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and has an excellent bar with live music at nights. I have had a bit of everything on the menu, soups, flat breads, steaks, pork loins, fish, desserts - and they are all great. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that while everything is great, nothing leaps out as being amazing. I will say that the tomato basil soup is amazing (when available), and the flat breads are excellent.
(4)Jorge R.
Lobster flat bread was very tasteful, had the trout & wife had the tuna salad with a tomato bisque. All very delicious. Server was very helpful & courteous, will be going back soon.

There is no jazz here or piano player. Please fix that.

Looking for a Miami Spice menu to try out in the Gables, this was the winner. I had never been before but always heard great things. If you're going in to play along with the whole low calorie, health bit deal, then don't do Miami Spice. However, if you're looking to have a really good meal with excellent service in a nice atmosphere, then this is the place. We arrived at 7 on a Tuesday night to an almost empty dining area. However, by the time we left, the place was packed. They scored points in my book for flat out giving you the Miami Spice menu, unlike some restaurants that try to hide it. We had the tuna and avocado roll, stuffed mushrooms, salad, filet mignon and key lime and chocolate mousse desserts. I can't say I disliked one thing that I tried. We left so full but not disappointed. It's an awesome deal (a $33 dinner menu) for Miami Spice, but I will definitely be back on a regular night.

Such a good casual lunch kept simple yet delicious. Wine of the day was good deal unexpected service impeccably courteous

I've been to Seasons 52 several times and even hosted my office holiday dinner in their private room - I have yet to be let down and have been impressed from day 1. This last time was for my birthday dinner celebration with some friends and was great. As of matter of fact, I have had the same dish the last 2 times I have been there and has been excellent. Their appetizer selection is good and highly recommend the hummus and the goat cheese and artichoke flatbread. My main dish recommendation is certainly the Lamb T-bone chops; you have to have these medium rare to medium - the balsamic vinegar reduction is what brings the gamy flavor of the chops together. The edges and outside were perfectly seared and the inside was tender and flavorful - so great that it leaves you with no choice but to pick up the chop and finish it off by hand. Of course there is only great things to say about their particular way of dessert presentation, portions and selections; on these the rocky road, carrot cake and kit lime pie are my personal favorites. The ambiance is always great with either a small live band or musician playing which gives is a very nice vibe. If there is one improvement that should be considered is on the wait staff, unfortunately the last 2 times, it has been below par in comparison with the food - Thus far there is no doubt that it will be the food that will keep me coming back. Individual Ratings: Ambiance: 4.3 Wine List/Bar: 4.3 Food: 4.5 Service: 3.5 Bon Appétit...
(4)Jim Y.
First of all, I love food. This is a restaurant trying to market healthy food which it fails at miserably. I have never had a more tasteless and un-satisfying meal in all my life. They took a juicy buffalo burger that was supposed to be cooked medium rare, cooked it to the consistency of a hockey puck, and put it on a stale, cardboard tasting, whole grain bun. They served said hockey puck with a thimble full of what was supposed to be truffle sauce to try to give it some semblance of flavor. The tots were fried chunks of tofu that again had zero flavor. I imagine this food is what they fed inmates at Alcatraz, #prisonriot. One star because they did have good service. If you enjoy food that tastes good this is NOT the place for you.
(1)Carlos I.
Great service love the lobster tail for under $9 can't wait to sink my teeth into another one of those! Drinks are great too my girlfriend dies for their apple tinis and the flatbreads are great! The Pesto chicken one is my favorite of them all.
(5)Nydia M.
Seasons 52 is pretty delicious, although after checking out their nutritional information online I'm a little turned off by how healthy they claim to be. All of their dishes are under 475 calories. That is per dish. Ordering an appetizer, entree, side dish and dessert can run you over 1500 calories before even getting to a drink. Also, low calorie does not mean low fat and especially not low sodium, but that's what you get in most restaurants. With that said, it is pretty easy to make good and healthy choices here. They have plenty of vegetarian friendly dishes, and the portions are just right. My husband and I came to dinner on a week night with our toddler, and the staff was really accommodating. The ambiance is a little romantic, but nothing kills that like a kid shouting, "DANCE!" when the pianist began to play.

My hubby and I headed for Seasons 52 to celebrate the last hurrah of the Miami Spice 2012 season :( The sadness is for the end of the season, not for our experience at the restaurant. In fact, we chose this particular place because it never disappoints. They have consistently good food and we were very glad to learn that they decided to participate in Miami Spice this year. From an earlier experience, we knew that their Miami Spice Menu included some of the most popular items of their regular menu and the portions are generous, so you will feel satisfied at the end of the meal. One thing that you have to keep in mind when you go there is that their menu changes frequently, but it's so expansive that there is always something for everyone. This time I started my meal with the ripe plum tomato flatbread with fresh basil, roasted garlic, and melted Parmesan cheese. I really liked it. Besides, I was so hungry that my hubby was able to grab only one piece before I threatened to kill him if he touched my food again. The flatbread is really thin and crispy and the tomatoes and basil were definitely fresh. If you go to Seasons 52 try one of their flatbreads, they have a great selection and they are always yummy. For his appetizer my hubby ordered the roasted shrimp, lump crab and spinach stuffed mushrooms. This appetizer was delicious and very original. It comes served in the type of dish that is normally reserved for escargot. Each little hole has a serving of mushroom and a whole shrimp with layered spinach, crab and parmesan cheese. One of my new favorite things there. We both wanted to have soup, but we didn't like any of the two options they had so he went with the baby spinach salad with seasonal pears, toasted pine nuts, and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. I love fruit in a salad, so this hit the right spot for me. I know this sounds a little too healthy for us, but we were just starting the meal. I also ordered a salad for my second course :/ but I went with the mixed greens, toasted pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, cucumbers, and white balsamic vinaigrette. It was okay, but I'm not really into ordering salads unless they have tortilla chips and generous servings of chicken, cheese, bacon, chicharrones, truffles or any other similar light topping :) The good thing is that we were only half way through our meal and our entrees didn't disappoint. My hubby had the char crust fillet mignon with cremini mushrooms, rainbow carrots, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes. Ok, I confess that when he excused himself to the bathroom, I ate half his steak and all of the mashed potatoes. But I rearranged everything before he came back and he didn't notice anything missing :) He is a rookie! For my (second?) entree I had the caramelized sea scallops with roasted asparagus, and sun-dried tomato-mushroom pasta. The scallops were yummy! perfectly cooked, moist inside, nicely seared outside, just the right combination of sweet and savory. The pasta was really original. I thought it was israeli couscous at first but then realized it was pasta. It was nice and tender and I cleaned out the plate before my hubby got to try anything (grrr....he had been warned!). Desserts at Seasons 52 are like Christmas to me. They bring you eight (yes, eight) different desserts in shot glasses for you to pick one. Well, not me, I chose a bit more than one and ate them too. My rookie hubby watched them disappear quickly one by one... This was a great way to end a very gratifying Miami Spice Season in 2012.

A plus for me all around. My wife and I have been here for lunch several times and we have always had a good experience. Food has always been fresh.

I went to Seasons 52 during my lunch break yesterday. Their whole shtick is in-season, healthy food (all menu items under 475 calories. I ordered the jalapeno braised beef tacos. They were abut $10 and absolutely amazing. Great flavor and a lot of food - was hard to believe that the whole thing was under 475 cal. The ambiance was great and the service was good too. I definitely plan to return.
(5)Belinda B.
Katherine! Katherine! Katherine! Great service from the minute we entered! Perfect pairing of wine to complement lunch. Attentive to needs of adults and children. 12 happy diners! I enjoyed the brazino and the desserts. Thank you for a great birthday lunch!

To start off I was a disappointed that you guys had no bread at the begining of the meal, it was my Dads Birthday so I expected a great culinary experience for the price unfortunately not so!! The service was good but not great they're was a point that we never saw our server and the restaurant wasnt even busy. The food was very so so nothing out of this world very dissapointing also decided to do a super fruit Martini nothing great tasted better Martinis. Dessert was also very lame for such an expensive place all they had was these little samplers of dessert to choose from at least mine was good it was strawberry something with a piece of Cannoli, On a Good note the Piano player was great so at least that made the food bearable. So I was definetly dissapointed after all the great Yelp reviews I expected more from such a high scale restaurant.

Nice restaurant, decent food but our table service was not very good. I had to walk up to the waiter to get his attention after 10 min of waiting!

I just LOVE Seasons 52. I am not a fan of chains at all but boy this restaurant does not disappoint. The menu is seasonal which I love and everything is under 475 calories...WHAT? yes I said it! 475 calories, get ready to eat your heart out! I love the portion sizes as at any other restaurant I have to say a prayer and hope to god that I don't have a heart attack after my meal as the sizes are HUUUUGE. Here, nope, you don't have to say your prayers! The waiter was really friendly and made some jokes throughout the meal. He was attentive and no complains about him. We had the organic pomegranate acai blueberry iced tea which was delish! They charged us $4.25 each (we all had this drink) and he informed me that they sell it in whole foods so today I went to buy some and they were $1.35 there. HUGE difference....I understand it's a restaurant but STILL they are buying it at wholesale prices so there is no excuse to rack it up that much! I digress...onto the meal. We had edamame which was good and all 3 of us had the BBQ chicken with green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes. Now, I usually do NOT eat chicken but I did some research on where their chickens are from and it is like the first certified humane chicken farm in the US and I kept googling if there were any people that found out otherwise behind the scenes and reported it but everything turned up really well. Way to go Seasons 52! It was really good and you could tell that the meat had no hormones or additives in it. I've also had the shrimp with pasta dish in the past which was also mmm-mmm-good! We skipped on the dessert and headed to Misha's cupcakes but they did look pretty tasty here!! Next time next time....
(4)Ana S.
Great environment and customer service. I love the Brussels sprouts there, they are absolutely amazing!! Also they have live music right by the bar which is great for a calm night accompanied by a glass of wine.
(5)Jacky G.
The food here was excellent. I had the lobster bisque as an appetizer and it was VERY good. As an entree I had the Maui Ahi Tuna Crunch Salad, which had grilled pineapple, seared tuna, & almonds with a toasted sesame dressing. It was very good, but a bit plain, in my opinion. I also had a very delicious glass of Riesling (Selbach-Oster QbA) which was amazing! My husband had the Mayan Grouper with a black bean salad that added a tropical flavor to it which he really enjoyed and my son had a very generous portion sized children's grilled chicken and vegetables platter. For dessert we had a peanut butter something or the other and another called Rocky Road which was my favorite. What I liked the most about this place was the entertainment. Tonight they had a young woman playing the piano and singing. I'm not sure if it was my melancholic mood, but she played beautifully and sang equally great. She transformed songs that play on the radio as dance and even hip hop songs into jazzy/bluesy almost depressing melodies, which for this particular night was exactly what my ear wanted. From Usher to Camila, along with the tasteful decor and dim lighting, her talent made the ambiance of this restaurant a very pleasant one. Overall, great experience. You should try it.
(4)Leon K.
The clever concept raises the bar on everyday retaurants. The food is good, healthy and well prepared. The staff is expertly trained. While Seasons 52 will never make the James Beard Best list! It is a place you can eat each week without getting bored.
(3)Jackie S.
I was very impressed after my lunch here! Walking in there is definitely a steakhouse ambiance but don't be fooled the menu is 5 stars healthy gourmet and surprisingly delicious! At 475 calories a plate this is the perfect place to share a few plates and not balloon up the calories. Our waiter Donavan was definitely the hostess with the mostess. He recommended me a great cocktail, the pomegranate martini, I absolutely loved it. It was refreshing but not to sweet nor overly salty like a margarita. The food was fresh and light but yet delicious. We devoured every dish including the mini indulgent desserts, a must try! Great lunch spot...can't wait to come back for dinner!
(5)Sandra M.
I tried Seasons 52 at the suggestion of several coworkers who raved about the place. I will admit that when I heard the dishes were all 475 calories I wasn't expecting much flavor. However I was pleasantly surprised. We started off with the Blackened Steak & Blue Cheese flatbread which was very good. For the entree we had the Springer Mountain Farm All-Natural BBQ Chicken and Swordfish. Both were flavorful and considerably sized portions. The size of our Pecan Pie and Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse was just right to make us feel content and not overly stuffed. The service was also on point.
(4)Katerina S.
Seasons 52 has to be one of my consistently favorite restaurants. You ALWAYS get the highest quality meal and never have to completely blow a good diet. The specials are always divine and tasty. Their service is up to par with any fine dining restaurant. Their mini desserts are to die for -- favorite is pecan pie!!
(5)Richard S.
Everything was almost 5 stars but I didn't think the food was more than 4 stars. Some said their food was dry, mine was too salty. Service was excellent and everything was fast, food tasted fresh, and we had a private room so that made the experience better. They gave us complimentary dessert ("for new year") and went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for everyone.

How have I not reviewed Seasons 52 yet?? Somehow my review slipped through my fingers... I will quickly fix this Many moons ago, I discovered Seasons 52 when they opened up. In fact, I visited them soon after they opened this location. When they first opened, the front facade of the restaurant stood out on the Mile. There wasn't anything that looked even remotely as modern with a touch of rustic. Inside, everything is impecable. Always clean, orderly, and everyone is EXTREMELY professional and polite. They will always adress you by your last name and even offer white or black linens at the table. Quick note, most people don't know why a restaurant would offer black or white linen. Don't feel bad. I didn't know either. The idea is that you won't get white lint (from white cloth) on your dark/black clothing; or visa-versa. Knowing is half the battle, G.I. Joe! I've found for best experience, you should make reservations. They certainly allow for walk-ins, but if it is a busy time, you may have to wait quite some time. Once in a while they do have a live piano player near the bar. During cold/winter times, they have a fancy looking fireplace by the door. All individual servings are less than 475 calories. If you are health nut, like I am, this is a dream. They are even able to make certain dishes to order to be conscious of salt, gluten, or other specific health needs. If you have one of those types of needs, call ahead to see how they can help accomodate your needs. Appetizers are mostly flatbreads... well, at least that's what I end up having because they are that good. I have also had the edamame with Japanese salt. I would recommend against having the "basic" flat bread. It's not bad, but just seems to feel incomplete. There is a wide variety of flavors and you should try any of them. When they are served, they are cut into 8 pieces, so plan accordingly on how much you would like to have. Usually one flat bread serves about 2 people. The edamame is great too. The Japanese salt gives it a little kick, but by no means is it bad by itself. Let's pause again for a moment to discuss what makes Seasons 52 special. The name of the restaurant explains how they work in a very self referential way. Every season (winter, fall, summer, spring) they change the main body of their menu. In addition, they have a weekly menu (52 weeks in a year) in which they change a smaller portion of their menu. There are staples that I've seen all year round, such as the Tiger Shrimp Penne pasta (which is very good) and the basic flat bread. The chef de cuisine makes their best attempt to match the season to the cuisine and local culture. I've had a variety of dishes and (weekly) specials. They are all filling without being overwhelming. Lots of great flavors. I would like to recommend one or two dishes, but it's difficult because they change it so often. Try something new and you won't regret it. Dessert... oh dangerous desserts. The have what is called "indulgences" as their dessert. They are essentially shot glasses full of various flavors. Carrot cake, Rocky Road, Pecan Pie, Fruits, Espresso cake... the list goes on and they are ALL great. Try two! 1/2 Appetizer [~240 calories] + Entree [475 calories] + 1 indulgence [~250 calories] = 1000 calories. Bottom Line: Guilt free and amazing service keeps me returning! Bottom Line:
(5)Andy D.
As I stare at the bartender, thinking since he's a mere 36 inches away maybe he'll figure out I want a drink. Waiting and waiting and bam success. Finally after 5 minutes I have a bartender. He turned out to be rather helpful. And pointed me to the stuffed mushrooms with crab meat, and the roasted stuffed artichoke. Both were an Andy hit! The piano player, she was so hot and so sultry, I didn't even mind the flat notes. The entertainment puts this place at a whole new level. The cons, yes as you get older your vision is the first supposedly to go. In my case its an eye disease that is progressively darkening my world, but with no help from Seasons, it's virtually dark, with an unreadable menu! So for the love of God and all things holy, change your fonts! I like this place, the bar is the best place to eat, as you are surrounded by all things cool!
(4)Amie G.
Came in for a late night dinner and was surprised to discover that everything on the menu was 450 calories or less. I had the scallops and risotto which was very good. We finished with one of the guilt-free sized desserts. There was a piano at the bar when we were there on Friday night.
(4)Lisa A.
One of my favorite restaurants in South Florida. So reasonably priced and the food is hands down AMAZING!!!!!! Nice place to celebrate birthdays too because you can go in their private dining room at no extra charge. I also love sitting at the bar and bring entertained by the pianist who sings Top 40 song.
(5)Sabrina L.
Hadn't had such a great dining experience in awhile! From the moment we walked in, service was impeccable. We arrived a bit earlier than our reservation and sat for a little while at the bar, the bartender was really good and the drinks were well made. We were promptly seated at the time of our reservation, the ambiance is quite inviting and romantic. Noise level is enough to be able to carry a conversation. Now onto the food...we tried the Plum Tomato Flatbread, Shrimp and lobster stuffed mushrooms and my date had the fillet mignon. Everything was delicious! This place has a new fan! can't wait to go back.
(5)Mio F.
This place is in a nice location (Miracle Mile), nice atmosphere. But we did not have a good experience with our server (actually she was pretty rude) and I think it's overpriced for the quality and amount of food. Being health conscious and smaller portion is good, but prices are not reflected. Also their dessert is quite disappointment.
(3)Lincoln B.
This is mine and my wife's favorite place to have date night. The ambiance is elegant and the rates are not what you would expect. We love that the menu is constantly changing.
(5)Eugenio R.
One of my favorite places in Miami. I go almost every week and service is always great (very rare in Miami even in the best restaurants). Food is very well thought and the mini indulgences are a perfect way to end a meal. At the bar, Jesus and Sarah always makes us feel at home - The piano is just a big plus for me.
(5)Patrick L.
The first thing that struck me upon walking in is that this restaurant does not feel very "Miami." It's a rather large, handsome, dimly lit, brick & wood affair. There are quite a few tables and booths, and to the left of the restaurant sits a stately, substantial bar with live piano music (at least when I was there on Sunday night). It looks and feels like something I would expect in Aspen or Vail. The only things missing are hooks for winter coats, and snow bunnies in stretch pants sitting at the bar. Service is amiable to say the least - and very Houstons-like with the entire staff clad in black. The food? I'll get to that in a second. I just have to come right out and say it, though - this place is not "cool." It's by no means the urban-chic that seems to be so ubiquitous in Miami right now. In fact, it seems to be a bit of a throwback, beginning with the patrons - let's just say that the median age here seems to be pretty high. By no means will this place set your little hipster hearts aflutter. The menu is a modest one-pager, wine list on the front. It seemed to be a nice list. Beers on offer are a bit lame, though they do have Cigar City's Jai-Alai. I didn't see a cocktail menu, though I suspect they are capable of mixing up some excellent "classic" cocktails. I'll test this suspicion out someday. I think the idea here is healthy, yet flavorful, fine dining, with a menu that changes by the season (hence, the name). None of the entrees top 475 calories, and that's true of the apps, too. I was in my Yelp review mode, so I was hoping to order as much as I thought I could eat. I started out with a seasonal roasted squash plate ($3.75!) and the grilled steak and cremini mushroom flatbread. The winter squash was tasty and very simple. There were meaty slabs of what I think were butternut, acorn and delicata varieties. When was the last time you had such a healthy appetizer? I was a big fan of the flatbread - extremely thin crust with equally thin slices of steak, chunks of mushroom and dabs of melted blue cheese. After that, I had the wood roasted pork tenderloin, and I was impressed. The succulent, moist pork medallions were perfectly cooked to medium (as noted by the server), not at all overdone and dry as pork sometimes can be. It carried with it a slight hint of maple and rosemary. The meat rested on a bed of polenta, spinach and more cremini mushrooms - a subtle dish, no doubt, but very well-executed. Desserts come in shot glasses for $2.50. I love this concept. They come out with a tray of 7-8 of them, and hand them to you on the spot when you choose. I went with the pecan pie-in-a-shot-glass. It was great, how could pecan pie not be? I also loved the vanilla mousse underneath the "pie" part, that was a nice touch. And yes, your shot glass is 475 calories or less, though I'm guessing that they all scrape up against that 475 calorie ceiling ;) I'm looking forward to coming back. I think we need more restaurants like this in Miami.
(5)Henry L.
Some one in management just ruined one of the best places in Miami by getting rid of the piano player. We used to love it. Have spent thousands of dollars over the last years and the reason, the only place in town with a piano bar. We went Sunday, it was ridiculous. Instead of fine entertainment there was a liquor display. Seasons neither has the best food nor best wine, you got rid of the best thing you had going. Won't be going back, its now like a funeral parlor.
(3)Megan H.
First time here and I had a wonderful experience. Great staff, food, and dessert. Def coming back! Nice portions, too!
(5)Vanessa S.
I don't know where to start with this review... should I tell you how awesome it was to have a sweet and attentive waiter first? Or how nice it is to sit back and enjoy a meal while worrying a teeny bit less about the calorie count? Or maybe I should skip straight to dessert and tell you how I housed two decadent and delicious dessert shots before my dining partner had time to look up from his. Wherever I start this review it's going to end at the same glowing description of a much needed evening out. This was a cheat meal that didn't make me feel like I had cheated at all. Seasons 52 has taken healthy to a finer dining level. While you may be put off by smaller portion sizes, stop and remember they've done that on purpose to keep their entrees under 475 calories. I'm willing to pay an extra buck or two for that and a more seasonally focused menu, which they also boast. They change their weekly specials 52 times a year (which is why their name is Seasons 52). I definitely recommend making a reservation since we heard people waiting upwards of 45 minutes on a Saturday night. I can't wait to come back here and try different parts of their menu. Dinner on this trip was the pork tenderloin and the scallops -- both entrees were delicious! I stopped and noted that nothing tasted like it had MSG in it, a welcomed surprise I'll tell you! If you're looking for a date night that won't bust your belt, come to Seasons 52 -- you'll feel fancy without feeling flabby!
(4)Nino R.
Since every option on the menu is under 475, I knew coming in that I wasn't going to find anything worthy of a grown man's appetite. I had to settle for a Piedmontese Sirloin Steak. What that translates to is buffalo steak. It's very lean with nothing in the way of fat to help with the flavor profile. It was definitely a stark contrast to my previous night's meal of a bone-in ribeye at Fleming's. But, if you're having dinner with a bunch of your girls, then you are going to love this place! Seriously, how can you go wrong with so many low calorie options? I think I drank more calories here than I ate. For a man, I can't recommend this place to you at all. I'd much rather have a meal at a steakhouse, Hillstone, or even a Cuban restaurant. But if you're with someone that's calorie-conscious and you still want to have a night out at an upscale venue, then I can't think of a better option than Seasons 52. The bar is nicely appointed with a piano player serving as your nightly entertainment and there are half a dozen or so tables on the patio if people watching is your thing. Steak is my thing...
(3)Karen B.
Went last night for a bite with hubby. We decided to sit outside the bar on the sidewalk, it was a bit dark inside for my tastes. Our server, Joel S. Was fantastic, very personable, knowledgeable and thorough. We started with the proscuitto and cheese flatbread, excellent, and the ahi tartar, better than excellent. Then we ordered the scallops with asparagus and risotto and the steak fillet cooked rare+. Both were very tasty and filling. We finished the meal with three of the tasty sampler desserts, the best being the key lime pie. Overall a great dining experience and particularly liked the piano player, he sang well, low key and familiar songs. We will definitely come back next time we visit Miami.
(5)Michael M.
Really great restaurant. This was my first time with my wife and a friend. The atmosphere was very nice, went during lunch (1:45pm). it's pretty big, and it's just a beautiful spot in the middle of Coral Gables Miracle Mile. Our server Andrew was super, he gave us a sample of one of the desserts to try which was very tasty, not filling or too sweet. I had the flatbread pesto chicken, very well cooked and nice presentation (took pictures). Wife had the maple glazed chicken which is a pretty big portion but she liked it. For appetizer we had the chicken skewers which were well cooked, almost fell off the skewer they were so tender and juicy. The lemonade is awesome, handmade, very fresh, again not very sweet. Most lemonades leave me wanting to drink a big cup of water after because of the sugar. Thanks Seasons 52, we will be back :) P.S. The dessert was awesome!
(4)Rachel P.
Had such a great experience last night at Seasons 52 and couldn't wait to YELP about it! Made a reservation on Opentable an hour prior which was very helpful to not have to wait more than 5 min. once we arrived. We sat at the bar and watched the piano player and ordered some delicious martinis. I love the dark chocolate espresso one!! Also, you really get 2 for the price of 1, so don't let the $13 price scare you off. For dinner we tried several different flatbreads, organic salads, corn soup, and the salmon dinner. All were excellent. We can't wait to return!!!
(5)Delia N.
Discovered this place by accident. We have been back multiple times. Love the food. Many healthy options. Flatbreads are wonderful. Good service every time. Great decor. The wood fire grill makes the place smell awesome. Leave room for dessert.
(5)Eli G.
Flat Breads - Good Entrees - Okay Desserts - Great yelp.com/biz_photos/iu0n… Cool concept that everything is under 475 calories. The desserts cheat with their tiny portions.
(3)Calvin C.
I guess its a good thing that everything on their menu is LESS THAN 475 CALORIES. But I found myself leaving there consuming MORE THAN 1400 :( Yelpers recommended the flat bread so I ordered the steak and cremini mushroom and it was good (see uploaded photo). While waiting for my main dish to come out I ended up ordering a second one from their weekly special menu. It was a mushroom, goat cheese with truffle oil and it was amazing (see uploaded photo). My hunger would of been satisfied with both flat bread but my spicy chicken chile relleno came out (see photo uploaded). It gave me a hard look so I had to finish it off :D. The dish was not as good as the flat bread. They have miniature desserts that they brought over but I had to pass on it. Writing this review during lunch hour is making me crave for the flat breads.
(4)Eli S.
Portions are small, super expensive, food tasted like nothing, hostess are rude, this was the only place during the Miracle Mile Carnival not allowing the use of the restrooms now this shows the kind of management they have I will never go here.
(1)Joann C.
So I am not a calorie counter by any means, but this is a great place for those that are. Be warned, just because every dish is less X calories, does not mean you can order twice as many appetizers or desserts as you normally...especially the desserts! (Desserts come in tiny little cups and are oh so pretty and sound so delicious. And they are! But every time I go me and my friends just say.."1 of each", which really defeats the purpose of seasons 52! hahaha flat bread is highly recommended. Pretty yummy and one of the highlights of the meal. There is something to be said about a dish that has an extra X calories because they used more butter or cream, but considering the health factor, the dishes are pretty good! Additionally, the restaurant itself looks very nice and upscale, without influencing the prices!
(4)Debbie C.
I booked for a graduation dinner here since it's one of the few kitchens that opened until 11PM. My party was running late. I called ahead and they were gracious enough to wait for us! Our waiters were pleasant and chatty. We were seated quickly and well taken care of! The food came out in a timely manner. My party ordered almost everything on the menu, so I can confidently say we enjoyed our meals! Flatbreads were a nice and light starter. Loved the veal and scallops. The filet was excellent. And of course...dessert was amazing! Even my grandparents (traditional Chinese folk) were complimented their cooking and portions. Of all restaurants, Seasons 52 does an excellent job in getting all three courses in! I am definitely looking forward to having dinner here again! Thank you Seasons 52 for taking such good care of us!
(4)Beatriz A.
This place leaves a lot to be desired. The hostess sat us by a large party with screaming children even though there were many other tables available. The restaurant wasn't very busy but the waiter took over 10 minutes to come out and ask for our drink order. I ordered my steak medium but it came out well done. I don't expect the service nor the food to be 5 stars at this place but I expected better than what we received. I will not be returning.
(2)Frank T.
Enjoyed the filet with mashed potatoes and spinach. Washed it with a Pomegranate Margarita Martini! Can't wait to go back...
(5)Jordan N.
I'm undecided on whether this place should be two or three stars - between "Meh and A-OK." I liked the service and the concept. The vibe is nice in a formal-casual chain-restaurant type of way. But I can't really give this place a higher rating since the food is on the bland side and the portions are on the small side for the price. And as for the food, the only thing I could really recommend to date after coming here two times is the flatbread that is served here. And maybe also the drinks. For other things, I'd much rather walk to its less-healthy, but more scrumptious tasting sister restaurant, Houston's/Hillstone, farther down the Mile. I can't say I'd return, but if someone I know wants to be back here, I wouldn't throw a fit.
(3)Steven R.
Health conscious? Then why or why did I have gastric distress both visits to this way over priced place? Sat down with a date, ordered a shrimp cocktail, awful small, warm shrimp and poor service to boot. I have tried the bar several times, I do like the piano player of Wednesdays and Thursdays, but now I am tiered of getting ripped off with the wine offerings and pricing. Imagine, they tout their fine wine offerings, by their resident expert, bull, he is no expert except in fattening the bottom line, not many, if any decent wines. As you can read, I am not impressed with other reviews, just telling it like is. You would do yourself a favor by going a little ways further to Prime, just down the road.

Since I was in town, my boyfriend's parents decided to have another date night with us (dinner) before i go home. Yay! Actually it was not too bad. Atmosphere is okay, good for having a romantic dinner. Got to sit near the kitchen and was watching the cooks prepare the food. Cool. Menu is not much, one page including the specials, the back are alcoholic drinks. Price on the other hand is a little steep but it is semi fancy restaurant so it is a given. The food is pretty good. Smaller servings (depending on meals) but gives you a full tummy. Our server was semi attentive but also forgetful at most times. She brought 2 iced teas instead of one and forgot the water. She said she was going to bring it but never did until asked twice. She also had to ask twice (make sure) on what we ordered. The lump of crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms appetizer was definitely great. Perfect for a couple pairing or if you're really hungry just for you. Shrimp ceviche (i believe) just like the stuffed mushrooms it was in small quantity. Anyway the bf and his parents seem to enjoy it but it wasn't the greatest ceviche out there. The main entree grilled chicken with tamarind sauce, broccoli, and mashed sweet potato (mine) was very good. It was the perfect proportion. I actually thought I wouldn't love the sweet mashed potatoes, wrong. Rainbow trout with potato wedges and carrots (bf/ his mom) was excellent as well. As soon as I sampled some from my bf I found a new fish to eat and it was not overly seasoned either. Salad & Chili (his dad) was just a simple salad nothing fancy and from what I heard about the chili it was alright. At the end of our meal I was surprised on what came out, our desserts. We did not even ask for any and our server came out with a tray of their million dollar desserts. It was in shot glasses and their were different flavors. You just pick what flavors you want or get the whole tray. The cannoli raspberry was great and rocky road seemed to chocolatey for me. Although it was good and I wish I could of tried all of it.

The live piano playing in the bar is the best experience in this restaurant ! And the service was well tentative ... Must say I was impressed! Will come back and do it over again ... Carl Evans was a great pianist!
(5)Jorge P.
Benn here several times. Every time it has been great, except for today. Went today a 4PM. The place was empty. The service was irritatingly slow. The lettuce and tomatoes in my salad were stale and the steak was cold. Looked like what I was served had been there since lunchtime. Very disappointed.
(1)Gaby S.
I came here for lunch last week and i absolutely loved my experience here. I have been anticipating trying this place and finally had the opportunity to come during my lunch break and try it. Let me go on by saying that at any time of day this place is always packed. we thought we were not going to be able to get a seat quickly but the hostess was very accomodating and got us to a table quickly. The waitress was very friendly and explained everything in the menu very well. We opted to get the flatbreads which were both very good. I got the steak and mushroom one which was great, although i would have liked for it to have some sauce or something on it for a little extra flavor. The mini desserts are also really good if you want something sweet but dont want to over indulge yourself. I havent been here for dinner, but when i do ill make sure to update my review.
(4)Stephen G.
Impressive. I went for my girlfriend's mother's birthday and I immediately took a liking to this place the moment I stepped foot inside. A somewhat dark ambiance, 52 seasons is exactly what I look for when celebrating an occasion. Good food, class, and innovation. We sat at the Chef's Table, and walked past a circular bar (that had a piano in the center of it featuring a young girl wearing heels singing Rihanna/Coldplay covers; interesting) Once we sat down, the waiter introduced himself and wished a happy birthday to my girlfriend's mom. He then proceeded to serve us samplings of the duck; compliments of the owner. It was a polite (and tasty) notion. The food was delicious, chicken and pasta + red wine and I was good to go. We managed to save room for some chocolate tiramisu. Overall, I highly recommend this place to take your hot lover (or your hot lovers mom).

I was really excited to check out Seasons 52 since everything on their menu is under 475 calories and the menu changes seasonally. I also have been hearing about the flatbreads so I knew a trip to the restaurant was a must. First and foremost, I want to mention how nice all the employees were. They all seemed to be very focused on customer satisfaction, and really tried to make my experience at the restaurant great. To begin with my friend and I ordered one of their renowned flat breads. We went for the special of the week which was a gyro flatbread. The flatbread lacked a bit of the gyro flavor that I was hoping for, but overall I was really pleased with it. Next time I go I plan on trying another flatbread to see what else Seasons 52 has to offer. I had been told that since everything on the menu was under 475 calories I might not find the meal filling enough, so I was a bit concerned of whether or not I would be satisfied with my meal. My friend and I both ordered the spicy chicken chile rellano and I thought it was scrumptious. It was definitely filling and definitely spicy. I was really happy with my selection and I would recommend it to anyone who goes to the restaurant. At this point we were asked if we wanted to try one of the mini desserts, and being someone who never shies away from a good dessert, I was all for it. My friend immediately went for the strawberry shortcake and said it was great. I took the waitresses suggestion and had the Belgian chocolate rocky road. I also thought the dessert was great. All in all, I thought Seasons 52 was great and I was really happy with everything that I ordered. I can't wait till I get to go again and possibly try something from next seasons menu.

Went for valentines day, the ambiance is great for date nights. Subtle lighting and friendly staff. I highly recommend reserving a table because I heard the wait time was 2 hours for a guest that walked in (but it was v-day). We really enjoyed everything from appetizer to dessert. The food was light and didn't make me feel the need to rush to the bathroom or be rolled out. That being said, portion size was a little bit small for my liking. Although the feeling I mentioned above didn't happen, I could've had some more before getting there. That was the reason for the loss of a star. Otherwise I had a great time with the wife! Enjoy

I have gone to this restaurant several times and each time it does not fail to please. With the rotating seasonal menu, a nice wine list and finger-licking good desserts- you gotta try this place.
(5)Tom W.
It's all good. Service impeccable. Flatbreads, mini deserts and the spread of assorted main courses for our group of 40.

Ventured to Seasons 52 (last night), and it was definitely not as good as my first experience there... while the service was EXCELLENT, and our waiter could not have been better, the food was sub-par with some exceptions... for appetizers: the curry chicken soup, the portobello mushroom flat bread and the shrimp & lobster spring rolls were spectacular... but the (seafood) entrees were just so-so, slightly cold and fairly tasteless. We also ordered a raw tuna salad, and it was completely unseasoned / lacked any dressing or "pizazz"... definitely disappointing, given the prices on many of the entrees. Best bet is to stick to appetizers (for sharing)... Also, be sure to take a winter coat (if you eat indoors), as the subzero temperature inside the restaurant was so overwhelming, that we could not enjoy the overall meal experience. BTW - mini desserts are great too!
(3)Mavis J.
Freshest food ever!! Great presentation! Had Flat bread chicken pesto and Greek salad. My friend had cedar plank salmon! Some of the very best! Nice ambience! Live music! Outdoor seating as well!! Friendly service!! Highly recommend!
(4)Giovanna H.
Good food for healthy food seekers. Good ambiance, mostly older crowd. Food was very good.
(4)Randall P.
good food, good service. Pleasing atmosphere and live entertainment with a lively aura.
(5)Turly H.
Nice dinning environment. Food came with big discs but in small portions. I ordered grilled jumbo shrimp penne pasta. Well seasoned but the pastas overcooked. In addition, ripe plum tomato flatbread was burned and tasted like expired chips... Overall, this dinner was a disappointment.
(2)Coral S.
The food was phenomenal! Great service & attention. Our server Tyler was so nice & so professional. Very attentive! We will definitely be coming back!
(5)Michael A.
The first time I came here it was about a month ago and ordered from the Miami spice menu. It was fantastic. We sat at the bar and the waitress spaced our meals out perfectly and the food was great. We went back last night and it was the complete opposite! We waited forever for the flatbread, it was good. Then midway through the flatbreads our salads came out. They were a huge pile of spinach with some dressing thrown over them. Not the same as last time. No nuts, sweet dressing or cheese. Just some hunks of pears on the side. They Sucked. Then we had to wait a long time for our main course. When it was time for desert we were only allowed one of the parfaits as opposed to two of them that were offered the first time we came. So confusing and never an explanation. Overall I won't go back. Not consistent and the guys that work behind the bar have some attitude. Not friendly. Maybe Friday nights are bad.
(2)Faustino S.
I was able to reserve a table through my phone very easily. The food was excellent, very tasty and healthy. Great wine and overall environment. The waiter was extremely friendly and attentive.
(5)Laura D.
I had the filet mignon and was not very impressed with the food. I took a group of clients here. While the service was decent, the food was not all that. I can usually tolerate a restaurant when the Food is delicious and the service is not so good, but not the other way around. I'm very picky with my food, and if it's not hot and tasty, I will not be coming back.
(2)Justin W.
Let me tell you about Seasons. This place makes me really want to go back because the people who work there are truly great. I went there with my best friend for a graduation dinner on a week night and although it was dead we still had a great time. We were seated and there was a handwritten card from "Gary", the owner I presume, congratulating me. Our waiter was sooo funny, helpful and just really entertaining and honest. He definitely listened to us and recommended great dishes. The whole concept of Seasons 52 is that they change their menu every season in order to use the freshest ingredients, which I think is extremely cool. I got the Cedar Plank dish with the Salmon, and had one of the flat breads (can't quite remember which one) as an appetizer. The flat bread was deeeeliciouss and just tasted perfect. While waiting for out entree we got to meet Gary! Who was walking around lighting candles and greeting everyone, I thanked him for the card (even though I feel like he didn't personally write it) and he was just soo sweet. My entree was the grilled salmon with asparagus, potatoes and carrots with lemon juice on top. Honestly, although I think the food was good..I didn't think it was great because I felt it could of used more seasoning, oddly enough. For dessert, they had individual mini desserts that you can choose from (like P.F. Changs). We ordered one each but this waiter was sweet enough to give us an extra one :) These were delicious. Pros: great atmosphere, nice ambience, great & welcoming staff, great location (Miracle Mile), cool concept, delicious dessert, piano player Cons: paying for parking (always a con), food was good but not great (which it should be great if you're paying that much for your meal), expensivvvvveee (Just my raspberry lemonade was around $5) Honestly, I can't wait to go back to try out the new menu, hopefully the food will please me the 2nd time around.
(4)Espicubi E.
its hit or miss in the dinning area. Bar area is nice. usually caters to an older business crowd. But, the cocktails are great, and the food is well portioned and delicious. Flat breads deserve 5 plus stars! and their cosmos are pretty high up there as well!
(5)Shelby S.
Even though this is a chain, they deliver consistently excellent, freshly prepared food. This one has the best set up of the chain I've seen so far. A great start to a date, a great lunch break from shopping, or just a great place to eat when you are too lazy to find that next awesome hole in the wall.
(5)Anna H.
Disappointing. My man and I came here because of all the great reviews, had a 3-course meal and a few drinks for about $90 - not worth it whatsoever. Though, to be fair, our waitress was wonderful even though we came in half an hour before close and stayed until about half an hour after. Had goat cheese ravioli for an appetizer; it was okay. Nothing special. I ordered pork tenderloin with broccoli and polenta for my main course and I didn't enjoy it. Honestly, everything on my plate was rather bland and tasteless. The man friend had lamb with mashed potatoes and asparagus; he ordered it medium and it was BLOODY. Definitely rare. It wasn't very good either. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were okay. The mini-desserts were cute and a good portion size, and they were good, but again, nothing special. Two stars come from the lovely service and the nice decor and ambience. Would not come back.
(2)Anne-Marie B.
I was very excited to hear that my best friends were taking me here to celebrate my birthday, as I had heard very good things about this restaurant. I was not disappointed. Their menu changes throughout the year, the larger part changes four times a year according to the season, then there is a smaller, special menu that changes weekly, hence the name. The food was fresh, delicious and presented beautifully. The portions are just the right size. The restaurant inside is very romantic and comfortable, although the music can sometimes be a little loud if you are near the bar.
(4)Mitch A.
My girlfriend and I ate here last night, it was our first time at a Seasons 52 restaurant. Our waiter Joel was very nice, he explained the menu and pointed out different appetizers and wine. The flatbread was good, the dinners were great, and the desserts were too! We sat in the long because they had a pianist who was also singing, he played everything from Sinatra and Michael Buble to Jason Mraz. It was a great experience, and I would recommend this restaurant!
(5)Michelle G.
This place was awful....sadly I went there to take my mother for her birthday. Unfortunately with the horrible service, the tasteless food and the empty restaurant I don't know anyone who would go back. DON'T GO!!! RUN!!! Our waiter was nowhere to be found. After several minutes another waitress knowing how long we had been there decided to help us. We ordered wine and cocktails. She had to prepare our drinks because the bartender was too busy talking to co-workers. The food was tasteless and over cooked. It was so bad the Second Manager took care of our bill. As trendy and loaded with restaurants as Coral Gables is this place will not be around for long...
(1)Mary W.
We celebrated a birthday with our sons here - the food was terrific, generous portions of really healthy food. Great welcome at the front door. I put a note in the reservation that it was my son's birthday, and they greeted him at the door with a personally signed birthday card, and brought a dessert to the table for him. The wine flight was not only good, but a good value. We had never been here before, but have already told many others about it and will definitely return!
(5)Alex L.
On a sunday morning, when the restaurant is anything but full, I found the service to be sub-par. I find this problem exists at most of the chain restaurants in Florida in that they really don't put out the effort they need to in order to be a great restaurant and just end up being mediocre. We ended up waiting forever for one of the waitresses to actually take the order from our table. One of our coffees came with lipstick from the previous person who had the cup. Food was slightly below average. The limited items on the menu due to their calorie limit on entrees was disappointing. Too many options to choose from in Coral Gables. Avoid this place if you have the option.
(2)Alyse S.
This was the perfect location for my medical school graduation lunch. Service was great, food was delicious and we loved our experience. I would definitely go back and have another meal. I also liked the fact that they had a vegan menu for my Aunt and they are über accommodating for those with dietary needs.
(5)Giovanni P.
Great restaurant and ambiance. Must go there with an appetite. The flat breads are great and so is the regular food. Low calorie meals as well so it cant get better than that!!
(5)Niniva S.
Just over rated, long wait, bad service, cold food, and over priced, I have to say, if you looking to spend an evening in a place packed with people, noisy, this is your place, if your looking to have the best dinning experience, with great food and service, this is the wrong place.
(1)mike c.
Ron and I had an excellent dinner here, visiting from Naples tonight. The food was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and at a perfect pace. The generously portioned cocktails were made quickly and correctly. The service was top notch. I would highly recommend our waiter Joel who was witty, knowledgable and engaging. Great service can make all the difference in the world for an evening and this place had it together tonight for sure! We will go to the one in Naples too now that we see what this place can do. I only hope it is as good as the Miracle Mile location.
(5)Michael C.
went not too long ago and all I can say is fantastic. Superb service, excellent portions and quality, very warm staff. Because it was a special occasion they even threw in some bubbly and a photo to remember. I can't think of any other place in Miami that is like this. Truly unique. A+ Food was delicious and for the money it's ok. Not the cheapest of places, but the food was superb and service was great, so that's ok. Truly a good experience. Will go back. Hard Truth.
(5)Alejandra M.
I had no clue all their dishes were under 472 calories and was starving when I got there; so as you can probably imagine my meal wasn't really hunger satisfying. The place does have a nice ambiance, the food is good but nothing to brag about and the service is pretty top notch. Great for a light bite, a nice glass of wine & catchy tunes by the piano man.
(3)Nicole A.
I came here for dinner and was met by two of the nicest hostesses in any restaurant I have been to. The hostess that sat us talked a little about their wonderful desserts in shot glasses and advised that we get some because they were delicious. It's a beautiful dimly lit restaurant with a piano player at the bar. I wish I would have asked if he took requests. I will have to ask next time. By the way, yelpers of the male sex, this is a great restaurant for a date. It's very intimate. Do it! Our waitress was very attentive and sweet and explained the menu to us and talked about how the menu constantly changed hence the name Seasons 52. 52 weeks in a year, different seasons, different menu...get it? Get it? Ok, good. My friend and I started with a bowl of mussels, which were absolutely delicious! For my main entree I ordered the trout and my friend ordered filet mignon. By the way, a lot of their food is organic and under 475 calories, according to our waitress. Yay! My meal came with roasted potatoes and grilled fresh vegetables. My mouth is salivating just thinking about how incredible that trout was. It fell apart in my mouth. I am telling you kids, it was cooked to perfection! I ate every single piece of food on my plate. Seriously, I need to go back. And soon. For dessert I opted for the fresh fruit in a shot glass. You can't go wrong with fresh fruit. There were so many yummy choices though - cookies and creme, carrot cake, key lime pie, etc. I am cooking for you Key Lime Pie!!! I love the vibe of this restaurant, I love the food in this restaurant, I love this restaurant!
(5)Javier L.
Simply phenomenal. From the flatbread to the desert, everything was fantastic. I had a seasonal dish, mediterranean Tuna that was simply awesome. The wife had the filet, cooked beautifully. Soft like butter. As an apetizer we had the chilled lobster and shrimp spring rolls that were insane. Price wasn't bad either. Dinner with drinks ran just under $100. Not bad
(5)Henry L.
Not sure what's going on in the kitchen tonight. Unusually long wait even with a reservation. The entree took almost an hour and was cold. I'll pass next time. Much better restaurants in Coral Gables.
(2)Rory C.
Overall great restaurant. Food was excellent.. Reasonable prices. Atmosphere is good. I would recommend.. Definitely going back
(4)Yessy M.
I love sitting at the bar. Love their tuna salad and flatbreads! The bartenders are great...Awesome dirty martini with blue cheese olives!

It was a Friday night and since I stayed late at work to finish several projects, my stomach was already in a bad mood. Therefore, after I finished, I wanted a drink and a small appetizer. It was the beginning of the weekend and the beginning of July 4th week. I wanted to go to a place where I can eat, have fast service and get out in a flash because my drive to West Kendall is long. So I decided Seasons 52. Upon looking at the menu, I decided on the Chicken Garlic flatbread comprised with balsamic onions, roasted red peppers, mozzarella cheese. Complimenting the flat bread, i ordered a nice cool glass of Riesling wine. What a treat for me since I don't drink alcohol often anymore. in the beginning of my meal, I was undecided to have a mini indulgence dessert but then I told my waitress to bring over the mini indulgence tray. Upon explaining to me all the varieties, she indicated that her favorite was the Pecan Pie with Vanilla Mousse mini indulgence, which I what I chose. It was delicious. Matter of fact, everything was delicious and go out of the restaurant in a decent amount of time. Another great night at Seasons 52!!

I will be hosting a rehearsal dinner for my son and his wife-to-be at Seasons52.in April 2013. After talking to several other restaurant event planners, I was frustrated and irritated with their unwillingness to be helpful and the attitude the conveyed that I should be grateful they would allow me to spend a couple thousand dollars in their restaurants. Then I was referred to Seasons52! Denise Erwin was wonderful, informative, flexible, and best of all, she was just plain nice. Anything I needed she could accommodate in away that satisfied me but was still within reason for the restaurant. She made me feel that my guests needs and wants were of primary importance and she made planning the event fun. I was to the point where I was dreading this party, but with Denise's help, I feel Seasons52 will make the event a success. After the party, I will add more to this review to let you know how it went, but if you are thinking about hosting an event, I encourage you to call Seasons52 to take the hassle out of party planning.
(5)Yoav T.
Very nice experience for meat lovers :-) Creative dishes and fine food. Try the flat chicken - it is interesting and made well.
(4)Adalberto M.
We've been looking forward to eating here for the longest. It was worth the wait. There is a MUST for reservations on a Saturday evening, the place gets packed (envision a Cheesecake factory with people standing around with pagers). Once you're in, you're good. We started off with a glass of Jam Jar Shiraz. Not your typical Shiraz, this one is served chilled. Trust me, tastes great for what you're about to enjoy. Heard lots about the flatbreads, and yes - they are amazing. We had the steak and cremini mushroom. It's just enough for two. Even if you're not a fan of blue cheese, it is absolutely great. We then shared a bowl of their buffalo chili, that was an instant hit. I wasn't too crazy about the pieces of breads they put in the chili, but overall if i had to rate it I'd say a 8.5. My fiancee and I went straight after to the main courses, I had the rainbow trout and she had the scallops. Not that the scallops were bad, but they were too grilled. The trout was simply amazing. We skipped on dessert (too full) and asked for the bill. Love the fact every dish is under 475, I wish there were more restaurants like this with more conscious of heavy calorie intake. We'll definitely visit again.
(4)Michelle L.
Just what the Gables needed, I really like this place. It gives me the illusion that I am somewhere else out of town, not miami. Not only is the food excellent and organic, but there's live piano bar entertainment. They have a pitcher of organic oranges sitting in vodka ready for martinis. I asked the bartender, thinking it was flavored water. Cant wait to try a martini with that stuff. Their menu is seasonal, always changing. I tried their flatbread and salad for lunch. Very pleased. Need to come back for dinner. Looks like a prime hapy hour location with a great piano bar.
(5)Deka M.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!! best restaurant on miracle mile low calorie but big on taste and flavor comfortable, cool atmosphere great staff and service the $2.50 dessert shooters are a dangerously wonderful idea will be going back over and over and over and over......
(5)Izzat A.
Went here for lunch today since it was open with the nasty weather outside. Love the area where the restaurant is located. Our waiter was a super nice guy and knew his menu very well. Started off with corn soup and it was pretty good. Very fresh. I got the Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno and it was good. Lots of different tastes in there. Only thing that I didn't like was the mashed potatoes that I got. They weren't very good at all. Wife got the salmon and she liked it. All the ingredients were very fresh. Prices were fair and the ambiance was very nice. They update their menu every season for what is in season so everything is fresh. All in all a solid place to eat.
(4)Lester M.
This place delivers every time. I have been here a few times, not as much as I would like. I came for lunch to enjoy their wine tasting menu. Yes, wine tasting for lunch is awesome. Not having to go back to work, PRICELESS. So here is the deal, they let you try 3 different wines of your choosing, they'll give you a glass of the one you like most and it includes a flatbread of your choice...ALL FOR 15 BUCKS!!! Not bad, right!?!?. I added the clam and shrimp cioppino, since I ended up choosing a white wine, and my lunch was complete. Add the fact that my girlfriend did not work that day, so we got to share a week day lunch and my lunch was perfect. Oh, and if you are wondering about the quality of the food and service, all amazing.
(4)Leslie G.
Must have dessert!!!!!!!
(4)Elizabeth H.
I recently ventured to Seasons 52 as I was intrigued after many friends had recommended the restaurant. During Coral Gables restaurant week, I got to savor a variety of foods on a preset menu. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was extraordinary; my waiter was constantly checking on the table and gave great recommendations. The best recommendation was the mini deserts, mainly the Tres Leches. Every last bit was so delicious, I wanted another. I restrained myself; however, I left the restaurant content knowing that every item on the menu is under 495 calories! Definitely a place I have recommended to friends.
(5)Stephanie G.
So I finally went to Seasons 52 a few weeks ago for dinner with my friend Barbie L. We got there around 6:30 p.m. and the place so busy the wait was about an hour and forty five minutes long. Because we really wanted to try the food but didn't want to wait until the next morning to eat, we opted for one of those tiny drink tables they have outside. I think they definitely need outdoor space heaters, at least during this time of year because although it isn't consistently cold during South Florida's "winter," we do have our share of chilly days. Aside from that, this place is pretty good. Our server, Heather, was very informative and an overall great waitress. The food is fairly inexpensive, especially for Coral Gables, and when you compare 52's prices to some of their obvious competitors (like Hillstone), it's a no-brainer. However, their drink prices are a bit inflated. It seemed to me like they're trying to make up for the cheap food by hiking up the prices of their booze. Fair enough, they're on Miracle Mile and I'm sure their rent is pretty high...but it's definitely something to keep in mind if you plan to throw back a few. To start, Barbie and I shared one of their flat bread specials which was a version of a gyro with lamb and some sort of yogurt sauce. It was pretty good! My only complaint is that it got cold ridiculously fast. Although maybe we should blame the lack of heaters for that... I then had the Maple Leaf Farms Duck Chop Salad, which was quite tasty. Barbie had the Housemade Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli which she said was also good. Sadly, we had no dessert. In sum, I'd say this place is pretty good. I'd go back again to try a few more of their dishes. But, if I'm planning on having more than one drink I might have to go elsewhere before or after. Lastly, watch out for the older papi-chulos hanging out at this place trolling for young women...they're relentless!
(4)Aida A.
I'm definitely adding this restaurant to my list of Favorites. It is a beautiful restaurant with a romantic,casual and sophisticated atmosphere. It has a nice piano bar where you can drink, eat and enjoy the music,plus a main dinning room. You can also sit and eat outside. The service was excellent and the food was DELICIOUS!!! I enjoyed the Organic Baby Spinach Salad with the Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon and some wine, of course. I didn't have dessert, but they looked good. I really recommend this restaurant.
(5)Big Daddy V.
As a seasoned visitor, I was disappointed with my dinner. The lobster and shrimp spring rolls were great, wonderful pieces of lobster inside accompanied by a couple of savory dipping sauces. The BBQ chicken salad was a surprisingly good entree as the BBQ sauce was just enough to taste but not overwhelm. The steak, however, was ordered rare to medium-rare and arrived charred on the outside and medium on the inside. It was tough and tasted as though it had been sitting under warming lights for the better part of the evening instead of fresh off the grill.
(3)Betty M.
Went for dinner with a childhood friend during Coral Gables Restaurant Week. The service was fabulous and so was the food. I had the tomato flatbread. Yummy !! I had the pork tenderloin for dinner. Perfection! Lastly, I had the mocha desert. Really Good. Our server was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Great Food! Great Service.
(5)Faby P.
I really like this place. It is so nice inside, the decor is so elegant but not stuffy. They also have outside seating which is really nice on Miracle Mile. The food is awesome! Everything is healthy so you don't feel gross after eating it, even the desserts. Today was my 2nd time there and it was great. Service, food, speed, everything was on point. We had the shrimp and pineapple flatbread which was excellent, and i had the mussels which were really good. It came w/ garlic toast (only 2 pieces) which is perfect for portion control. Their desserts are amazing - another portion controlled item. I had the PB one today (again) b/c I am addicted to the stuff. It was yummy. I'll keep going back. I can't wait to try their spring menu which debut next week.
(5)Alexandre H.
Health nut combined with trendy atmosphere. Translation: lot's of fresh "healthy" choices (under 475 cal) but prepared deliciously in a delightful ambiance. Menu changes according to seasons,and they have weekly specials, so every time you come back something new is on the menu. To start we had the Caramelized Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms (excellent), then we shared a Greek Salad (perfect). I chose the Wood-Roasted Pork Tenderloin and my wife took the Grilled Boneless Rainbow Trout as main entrees, both were tasty and cooked perfectly. Then we had two mini-deserts (only $2.50 each!), this rounded off our delightful dinning experience. Kudos to our server Sheena, great job, attentive and "simpatica". And don't forget to try the wines, we had an Italian Pinot Grigio and a South African Sauvignon Blanc, both matched our entrees magically. Being a demented foodie, I never though I would give 4 stars to a "healthy eatery" (praise to that type of place is usually reserved to the crowd who's skin is almost transparent, they read Karl Marx and believe Al Gore invented the internet). Cheers!
(4)Elle M.
I went for Miami spice and I thought the food was just average. There was nothing special about it and the normal menu price is IMO, not worth the food. I did not leave thinking there was anything I would ever want to go back for. Between me and 2 others, we tried almost the entire Miami spice menu.
(3)Moi M.
Been to all locations in south Florida and they're very consistent with their food and service. Food is always fresh, delicious flatbreads, the menu, besides a very nice variety, they change it often yet you can be assured the food is always good. Not sure many restaurants can pull off changing the menu often and still consistently delivery good food, but this restaurant does a great job at it. And the desserts? Well that's just like great icing in the cake. Enjoy! I always do.
(5)Luis C.
Excellent food and ambiance, they took a little to serve the food and the place wasn't even packed, but the wait worth.
(4)Megan D.
Everything tastes so fresh! We got to the restaurant a little earlier than our reservation/rest of our party, so we sat at the bar for a drink - we decided on champagne (the Chartogne), which was lovely. When our party arrived, they glanced at the drink menu and started talking about their bordeaux selection...the bartender, Heather, who was...tending bar...overheard them and quickly offered a tasting of whichever ones they wanted to try out before we went to the table. Which was impressive! We settled up at the bar and headed to our table...which is where things were a little, less impressive. Our server, Danny, had us sitting there for a while, which I think is uncharacteristic for the place, since Patrick, the other bartender came over to apologize that our server hasn't been over to us yet, and asked if he could take our drink orders for him. Sure! We were on a double date, so to speak, so the other girlfriend and I ordered their organic strawberry basil martini before the dinner orders/during apps...HOLY DELICIOUS, btw. My boyfriend ordered a glass of the Cakebread '10 chardonnay, which is unusual for him, but he heard good things about it and gave it a try. (thumbs up, ps.) My friend's boyfriend ordered a glass of the Parenchere bordeaux - which we ordered a bottle of with dinner - great flavors! As an appetizer, we ordered the goat cheese and artichoke flat bread...it was more than enough for an appetizer - I don't have a huge appetite, so this was actually perfect for us all to share. The other couple had the seasonal special trout with tabouleh, and the sea scallops with pearl pasta, respectively. My boyfriend ordered the free-range veal porterhouse steak - which looked amazing - and I had the rainbow trout with seasonal veggies...SO good. I can vouch for the scallops also, as she let me try one, and they were prepared perfectly. Desserts - we caved and got those silly little mini indulgence things...we ordered the chocolate peanut butter, red velvet, strawberry shortcake, and key lime pie...and shared them, for the most part. My boyfriend and I also got their port wine to pair with the dessert - it wasn't the best port I've ever had, and I was kinda sad they only have ONE option, but it was still a good port. The aforementioned "less impressive" moments with the server, were due to his remarks...from "yeah we don't have that, where I used to work we did...but not this place" to "yeah, they could do better with that, but, what can ya do, ya know?" Kinda disheartening, and unprofessional, but we didn't let it ruin our meals! :D
(4)Sandra M.
It is great to have a good ambiance and excellent food option in Miami. The service also accordingly. The menu is incredible and with a unique variety. The season's menu is excellent, but the weekly ones are even better options. This months they even have a plus, the Miami Spice menu.
(5)Christy L.
LOVE this restaurant! Was told there would be a wait, but they seated us right away when we told them it was my mom's birthday. Sangrias were great. We got caesar salad and rainbow trout which were delicious. Josh was a great waiter and very accommodating. Great ambiance, playing live piano music. Would definitely come back!!
(5)Sheryl C.
Always a crowd pleaser.
(5)Adriel D.
Loved the ambiance and decor immediately, lots of fine wood, perfect lighting and spacious seating. Staff was refreshingly courteous and our server was always smiling and attentive. Shared three appetizers with my girlfriend: steak and mushroom flatbread (very good), tuna and avocado sushi roll (excellent), hummus with the most incredibly addictive long chips with sea salt. Had to eventually ask the server to take them away, because I was eating too much of them by the end of the meal, and I wanted to save space for dessert: they bring you a tray with a dozen small glasses filled with different desserts, very enticing and unique. I chose carrot cake, so moist and balanced I told my GF we needed to get that for our wedding. Her chosen dessert was very good but nothing like the carrot cake. Would be back tomorrow if I wasn't so much into not repeating places so fast.

Warm atmosphere with nicely furnished dining room and bar ruined by mediocre food in a chain owned by Red Lobster which shows in the same poor quality of ingredients as its' lower-end cousin, e.g. small shrimp, unimaginative appetizers, etc. Skip it and go to Houstons/Hillstone, Morton's, Ruths Chris or Sushi Samba down the block.

Came here with the ladies for coral gables restaurant week and it was delicious. Had the hawaiian martini which was exquisite. I started off with stuffed crab & shrimp mushrooms, really good, then had the mixed salad which had a flavorful dressing and finally for entree had the filet mignon with demi glaze with asparagus and carrots, it was tender and too die for. Finally i ended the night with the pecan pie shooter, omg cant wait to go back and have another one...Yummy!!!

Frequent eater here. Yes, it's a chain but it manages to refresh itself every time. Love that the choices are all in the "good" calorie option. And love, love, the little desserts.

I went with my boyfriend not too long ago since the place looks so nice in Miracle Mile. It has a big a beautiful bar. The restaurant itself is very pretty. The service is impeccable. The food is OK. I was expecting a little more taste to the food or maybe its just not my type of food. The menu is changed seasonly and has a variety of different foods. I ordered the burger they had and it was very small and not much taste to it. My boyfriend ordered a pasta which was mostly veggies. If you are a health nut and would like to go out to a nice restaurant and not feel bad about what you have eaten, then this is the place for you.
(3)Matthew G.
I've never been dissatisfied! The food is amazing and always fresh. You should definitely get an appetizer and some desert, because the entrees are of course limited in calories (great for watching your weight!). The service is great and very friendly.

Okay, so while Jaguar might be my favorite restaurant in the Grove.. Seasons 52 is by far my favorite in Coral Gables! Granted I've only been there once... but let me just start by saying how friendly and helpful the wait staff is. I told them about my shelfish allergy.. done. If it's your first time there they bring you little ceviche ish samplers of shrimp, but I got tuna! due to my allergy. Anyway, the waitress started by saying that everything on the menu is LESS THAN 475 CALORIES! I mean, WHAT? Really? Okay, you had me at less than 475 calories. Sold! Also the wine we had was delicious, some sort of pino grigio I wish I could remember. We ordered the tandoori chicken, about three came on a plate.. we ordered two servings for three people (oops!) do not do that, it's huge and really filling! We had some edamame, which was also pretty filling. For our mains we had an arugula salad (one of us hardy eats anything at all!) I had the salmon main salad (delicious!) The salmon was soo perfectly cooked and tasted great with the fruit and pumpkin seeds.. My friend had the cedar planked salmon. It was good and she enjoyed it, but I preferred my salmon to be honest. By the end of the meal I was so happy with everything, that I declared I could live here.. because really they have brunch, lunch and dinner.. I mean I want to try everything on the menu! By the way, I should mention that when we came in the music was way too loud and we mentioned this.. not actually directly to them, but they overheard us talking about it so they turned it down immediately. I mean how great is that?

Seasons 52 is definitely a different type of restaurant. It is one of my favorite restaurants on the Mile. Their menu changes according to what's in season and the best part.....everything on the menu is under 475 calories! Now if only I could stick to ordering only 1 item on the menu..... My favorite dish that I had tasted so far on the menu is the steak and cremini mushroom flatbread......it's amazing. I didn't think anything would top that until I tried a flatbread which was part of their weekly menu (they have a small weekly menu that changes every week). It was a mushroom, goat cheese with truffle oil flatbread and it was spectacular! I have also tried the cedar plank roasted salmon, I was not crazy about this dish. I don't think I like things cooked in cedar, did not like the wood taste. Anyhow, I have also had their goat cheese ravioli and it was very delicious. And of course their desserts are super yummy, I always want one of each!
(4)Anne M.
This is such a great restaurant, who ever came up with this idea is a genius. You can sample different foods and pair them with different wines and get a little taste of the entire menu without feeling like you over indulged. The flat breads are healthy and amazing and the desserts are a little slice of heaven and by that I mean you get a little slice of dessert and don't feel bad about it! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were knowledgeable and made some great suggestions!

I went to Seasons 52 today, since it was one of the participating restaurants in Coral Gables Restaurant Week, and there were several thoughts floating around my head such as....."Loud ambience.... bland food.... outstanding service.... amazing desserts"! Oh my, this stream of consciousness overwhelms me. Nonetheless, my pros and cons were equal for this place, so I would like to give this place a solid 3.5 (okay, more like a 3 but only because I cannot give .5s). One of the hugest cons I have to say is that since the restaurant is very open. You can hear without failure what everyone at the surrounding tables is talking about. At my left, I had a 40 year old who was on his first date and was explaining the essentials of networking and how he had a subordinate who he was mentoring himself. The booth in front of me was a more eccentric group of three 50 year old somethings who were reminiscing about their previous trip to Greece. Hearing what everyone is saying around you can dampen any ambience. It seems that the majority of people who go here are those who go for networking. Not the ideal place if you would like to lounge around for lunch! I have mixed reviews about the food. For an appetizer, I had the vine ripe tomato flatbread. Perfect combination of salty and crunchy. Good with a side of olive oil. For my main entree, I had the blackened fish tacos. I have to admit that this was probably one of the worst things I had at the restaurant. "Worst" is such a strong word, so I'll refer to it as merely "could be better". I think it had mahi-mahi, but the fish was very bland. It definitely lacked flavor and could have used a little more lime. I also prefer crunchy tacos, so the soft taco shell was a let-down. The "saving" dish of the whole meal was their small indulgences. When they present you their desserts, they show you a bunch of shotglasses containing different sweet samples of goodness. I tried the pecan pie and red velvet, and it was divine! Perfect portion of ingredients. I would definitely come here again for the flatbreads and dessert; definitely not the fish tacos; although I feel that other items on the meny may taste better. As I conclude this review, I would like to say that the service here is absolutely outstanding! My waitress always made sure that I was taken care of. Thanks Ana F.! She gave me her card at the end of the meal. If I was judging on service alone, I would have given them a 5. But the loud ambience and fish tacos knocked them down a few points. I would definitely come here again. Great dessert, good flatbread, and amazing service! However, I think I might have to stay away from the fish tacos next time.

Flatbread special is always on point....delicious and filling meal is a $13 special which also includes two glasses of wine of your choice!

My wife and I have to Season 52 twice in the last several months. Season 52 is an all organic restaurant and all of the meals are under 475 calories. We had the Filet Mignon, scallops and a salad. The servers are always nice and professional and the prices are reasonable. The only complaint I have is every time we go to Season 52 they act as if we need a reservation. But the restaurant is never full, its a little annoying but we overlook it because of the food and service.

Ate here for lunch--everything was delicious! Will be back!

I took a group of friends to their pre-opening dinner service. Walking into the restaurant, the hostess greeted us with a smile and said "Mr. Chao, your table is ready..." Granted that out of our group, I am the one that is the only one that looks like a Mr. Chao, it was nevertheless very welcoming. This level of service flowed throughout the entire staff. The atmosphere was very lively and everybody had a great vibe. It seemed as if everybody enjoyed working there. The decor reminds of Houstons restaurant right down the street, which to say is not a bad thing. The large sliding doors open right up to Miracle Mile and to the bar. We were seated in a booth that was right next to the bar. Even though there were plenty of people, the noise was subdued, thanks to proper acoustic design. I can't stand restaurants where you have to shout to make conversation. Here's an interesting design element in the men's restroom: there are large rectangular metal grates that you stand over when you are at the urinal. Below the grate is a drain. Is this made just in case you miss? If you had too many drinks and didn't make it to the toilet? The menu is simple, yet complete. The four of us tried each tried something different. Appetizers included roasted poblano pepper, shrimp and crab stuff mushroom, chicker skewers, and mussels. The stuffed mushrooms was definitely the hit of the bunch. The mushrooms had an intense woody flavor. Entrees included, seared scallops, lake trout, lamb chops, and the filet mignon. The scallops were seared to absolute perfection. The lake trout filet was large and tasty. The lamb chops were just ok. It didn't have the intense gamey flavor of really good lamb. The filet was cooked to perfection. It was extremely tender and perfectly sized. All of the main entrees are under 475 calories. Very impressive. An assortment of desserts all came in individual shot glasses. I couldn't remember what they were except for the carrot cake. As a very courteous gesture, the manager came by offered our group an after-dinner glass of wine. The wine was an absolute surprise. It was a 2006 Royal Tokaji Red Label 5 Puttonyos. It tasted like smooth buttery honey and perfectly complemented the meal. Because of my pre-opening invite, dinner was comped. We only paid for our alcoholic beverages. I will definitely be back to have lunch and dinner here again and again.

I have been to two other Seasons 52 restaurants (in Boca and Orlando), and this one absolutely impressed me. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and welcoming. When my friend and I sat down, our waitress asked if we had ever visited before... and since my friend hadn't, the chef brought us out a complimentary shrimp tasting on porcelain spoons. It was a lovely touch, even though neither of us eat shellfish. We both shared the rosemary and parmesean crispbread, and each ordered the tandoori chicken skewers. She and I loved our meals - we were never rushed, and our food was prepared perfectly. The mixed greens salad that comes with the skewers is delicious - I really love that dressing. For dessert, I got the rocky road mini indulgence, while she chose the key lime pie (both were excellent). Our waitress was also prompt and courteous, so our water glasses were never empty. Before we left, the manager made sure we enjoyed everything, and my friend and I both agreed that everyone was just so nice. It was a very pleasant, relaxing lunch... so needless to say, I didn't want to go back to work! I can't afford to come here all the time, but I certainly will visit again.

I was the lucky duck that got an invite to Seasons 52's preview lunch thanks to AMEX Gold so I took my friend for a lunch break on a Tuesday. First of all the decor has a very Colorado outdoorsy feel with a modern touch. Rock walls, wood beams matched with classy furnishings. You feel at home but still out for a special meal. What most impressed me was the discovery that every single dish on the menu whether lunch or dinner is promised to be under 500 calories. So this is a great place to take someone who is watching their weight but doesn't want to loose out on flavor and variety. As part of the promotion to have us there we each had to pick an appetizer, entree and dessert. The menu is extensive, offering seafood, flat breads, sandwiches, soup and salad combos and it was hard to pick what we wanted. Another great aspect of the menu is it changes every three months to reflect what is best in local seasonal foods. Our dishes included crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms which were a great warm and slightly cheesy start to our meal. Chicken Tortilla soup was good if you enjoy it as a savory and hearty dish. The scallops were cooked to perfection, served with Israeli couscous and steamed asparagus. I chose the tropical salad with shrimp rolls, the salad was so bold with flavor citrus, pineapple, edemame came together in a delightful dish, unfortunately it was such a flavorful salad it outshined the shrimp rolls where were a bland partner to the salad, the quality of everything served was great. For dessert we got to choose from their sweet ending desserts served in a small cup - for me the Meyer's lemon pound cake parfait was heavenly, tart and sweet! My friend chose the key lime pie cup and she said it was really good and the perfect finish to our meal. Service was extremely attentive, Joel was knowledgeable on the menu and tried to anticipate our requests. I really look forward to taking my husband to try our the rainbow trout on the menu as that is not something you find on most menus. In the end I would say this is a great addition to the choices on Miracle Mile.
(4)Randy F.
Impressive spot. Everything on the menu is under 475 calories. Which had me thinking that the portions were going to be absurdly small, leaving me wanting to eat six of them to compensate for their calorie saving size. 475 calories is usually my first mouthful. Not so. I was good & full after the tuna noodle bowl, a nice size portion of fresh tuna over top of bok choi and Japanese noodles with mushrooms and a delicate ginger-sesame sauce. The flatbreads make a nice appetizer but are probably too small for an entree. Even the deserts are plenty enough size for one and hold the same calorie count, but you'd never know it. It all has to do with the way it's cooked, surprisingly not that they skimp on size, variety, ingredients, or flavor. The piano bar is nice and it seems like a good place for an after work drink too. The ambience in the restaurant makes me think of Napa. If you haven't tried, it's worth it.
(4)Erik G.
The place was very nice and service very good. Clean and nice atmosphere. I had various flat breads which were ok. It's so thin that it feels like your eating nothing. Also had the shrimp risotto. It was ok. A bit over cooked and very little risotto which tasted ok. It was to dry and clumpy. The dessert stand was awesome thought. That was the best part.

I have eaten at Seasons 52 many times and always thoroughly enjoyed it - the food has always been great as well as the service. THis past Saturday, my family held my Baby Shower in the private room and it was SUPERB. Everything from the service to the food was outstanding. From the moment I walked in the door, they greeted me with smiles and had a gift for me (a little Seasons 52 onesie), took a picture of me holding it up and then even developed the picture, of which they gave me a copy. They were so incredibly friendly, and not just to me - everyone that I have spoken to since that day has told me what a great job they did and just how nice the staff was. We stayed well beyond the time we should have but they were not rude or rushing to get us out - in fact, one of the servers helped us carry out all the gifts at the end of the event. The food was very good - everything was served family style - in particular, the char grilled salmon with salad was OUTSTANDING. I am not a huge salmon fan but it was so good that I had seconds. It was lightly charred and served with mixed greens, peppers, mangos and a vinaigrette. Plenty of food! Like I said, this was not my first experience at Seasons 52 but I was again reminded of the fantastic service and food that this restaurant has to offer and I would recommend it over and over, whether you're going just for dinner or looking for a venue for a private event.

The have a great healthy menu. That goes along with great service and decor.

This was on excellent place to bring some business guests. Great food and wine. Service was excellent and even Chef Keith visited our table. When in Miami I will make sure to return.
(5)Boris G.
First time in the rest. Great server (Ana) we sat outside on a beautiful day. Had the steak flatbread which was very tasty. The soup of the day was ok but could have packed more taste. Had couple mimosas and passed on dessert although it looked very good Very pleased
(4)Wl M.
Service is always personable and never rushed. Food is delicious and the place looks great. I have always enjoyed myself here whether I've gone with friends for a casual time at the bar or gathering for dinner.
(5)Dexter M.
Great food. They have a seasonal menu which lists the calorie counts for all of their dishes. One of the few chain restaurants that doesn't serve you microwaved meals. I had the buffalo burger and we shared some of their flatbreads. Both were delicious.
(5)Zach A.
Fantastic service, good food, and the portion sizes are perfect! I've been to a few different locations and the food and atmosphere are consistently very nice along with the outstanding service and attention to detail. Food is "healthy" so it may not suit everyone's taste, however it is among the best of the higher end "chains".
(4)Deborah P.
Four of us dined on a Saturday evening to celebrate an 85th birthday. The two flatbreads were delicious (shrimp, chicken). The salmon salad entree also got raves and i loved my trout with whole carrots and roasted potatoes. My partner did nt enjoy the pasta shrimp dish whcih didn't even look appetizing. Desserts as usual were yummy and the birthday boy's was on the house. DP
(4)Megan G.
The interior is nice, very much a chain restaurant though. Service was pleasant and attentive but it was annoying when our server used the exact same spiel, jokes and all, WORD FOR WORD, with several nearby tables. It seemed forced and cheesy. Ordered the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli with vegetables, roasted garlic, and fresh basil in a light tomato sauce. It was light, healthy and the perfect lunch option. It was actually less ravioli and more like veggies with goat cheese, not that I'm complaining or anything - I ate every last bite.. Bf had the mussels; they were alright but nothing special and kind of lacking flavor. We also had a side of brussel sprouts which we could have made better at home. I prefer my brussel sprouts to be a bit more crunchy but these were kind of soft and mushy. Had an excellent glass of ZD Chardonnay as well, which I was very excited to see on their menu. Great place to come with your family or for a light meal before headed out. Prices are reasonable for Coral Gables/Miami.
(3)Myner G.
I have heard a lot of hype about this place so I popped in for lunch the other day. I must say the actual set up and décor is on point and this is a great spot for lunch in the Gables. The only thing is that they like to make you wait, there were plenty of open tables I was able to see from where I was and yet we had to wait about 15 minutes even though we had reservations. Once we were seated, we got our menus and when I saw the prices I was shocked that it was pretty damn cheap compared to what I was expecting. I'm really big on customer service and it seems like people in Miami tend to be rude and can't figure it out. Our server Alanna had a huge smile and had the cheerleader approach. She made some good recommendations and I never once was out of water. This is the perfect spot for a nice lunch with out over paying. There are a lot of items for under $11 and if you do want something a little nicer they have some for $16-$18. The one thing I noticed all the dishes seem fairly healthy and fresh. Nothing is over salted and they actually go pretty light on the salt which is not normal in Miami, Latin's seem to douse everything with Salt and Garlic. Another great thing is they have some pretty good beers and they have premium Micros for under $6. Recommendations: Farmer markets vegetable plate Black Mussels Trout fillet Rosemary parmesan crispbread Drink: Jai Alai IPA Score Card: Service 5 stars Décor 4 stars Beer 5 stars Food 4 stars Having to wait 20 minute while it was not crowded 2 stars
(3)Stacy S.
Creative and unique menu concept, beautiful restaurant, exceptional service and extensive wine list. Portobello, four cheese and truffle flatbread was amazing. Melissa working on the patio provided some of the best service we've had in Miami which was refreshing. We can't wait to go back and to bring friends!
(5)Eloise R.
Loved the food here. Went with a large group and the service was very good, quick and courteous. We tried different dishes and everyone liked what they ate. Also enjoyed the decor and ambiance.
(5)Libert R.
Can I give 6 stars??? Everything was excellent. Excellent food, excellent wine list, excellent service!!!!! We were four, we had the salmon, the chicken, the lamb, and the quail; we all were delighted with our plates. Desserts...to die for and I usually don't eat dessert. Very well priced, wine, two appetizers, four main courses, four desserts, and three espressos $198. Not bad at all!!!!

Very pleased with Seasons 52. Not only was the staff able to handle a large party of notoriously particular-yet-indecisive diners with ease and patience, the food was great too! We were greeted and seated in a wonderful circular booth once our entire party had arrived. The host and server were professional, expeditious, and helpful.Two members in our party are very hard of hearing. It was difficult to hear the server because of his extremely quick and soft speaking voice, but I was able to persist and order my meal. Others in our party had to ask for clarification or just let words pass them by. The atmosphere is wonderful in Seasons 52. It is dark and romantic, yet lively because it accommodates groups well. A musician began playing and singing in the adjacent lounge area shortly after we arrived, which made it even more difficult to hear. Miami isn't known for its quiet restaurants, so what can you do. I was a little worried upon hearing that the restaurant doesn't use butter and that their dishes are relatively low on calories. I feared that I was going to spend my evening enduring tough, flavorless meat and accompaniments, but I was totally wrong. I got the pork tenderloin. It was absolutely delicious. We were there for a birthday celebration, and they brought out the tree of mini desserts at the end. I took only one even though the server offered more. That was a mistake! I had the peanut butter - chocolate get-up, and it was mouthwatering. It had the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and bitter between the chocolate sauce, peanut butter, and cream (ice and whip, if I recall correctly). Overall, I was very pleased with Seasons 52. I look forward to going back.
(4)Kiki L.
A+ for Service as always! I've been visiting Seasons ever since the opening month. The service has always been consistent. Even when it's packed they are always friendly and it's always worth the wait. The last visit was such an occasion where we didn't want to wait and opted for the bar on a Sunday Evening. As soon as we were seated our bartender/waitress was very receptive and greeted us immediately. She went over the menu and made suggestions and offered additional nutritional information. There was a piano singer that night and she was great. The atmosphere was lively, yet not too loud or overbearing. The food was consistent with how I've always found it, with one exception, my Filet Mignon. I requested medium temperature but it was very charred on the outside, still medium but I didn't care for the crisp outside. Appetizer soup of the day was filling. My friend had the Swordfish special, and it was cooked to perfection. Always love eating here because I never feel guilty after. It's appetizing and filling without leaving you overstuffed. The desserts are also the perfect size.
(5)Jose G.
Must have a flatbread as an appetizer. Menu is always changing but try the specials. Deserts are small and full of taste. Indulge...
(4)Lynn P.
I've eaten at the Boca Raton location of Seasons 52 many times, but happened upon this location on the occasion of my sister's birthday. She was visiting from Virginia and staying with our folks in Coral Gables, so on Saturday, May 12, 2012 we left the kids with the grandparents and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Seasons 52. We shared two appetizers and two salads; the server was happy to give us extra plates for this purpose, and it was fun trying different things. The produce and fish were fresh and delicious; I love the way that Seasons 52 gently dresses the salads--I want to taste the lettuces, not an overpowering dressing. Our server was clearly in training; our booth was near the kitchen and we heard him being educated a bit by someone in a chef's jacket, but he wasn't so new that he didn't yet have a business card! He handed me as I paid the check a Season's 52 business card that read: "Gilbert Gonzalez, Server" and was imprinted with the address and phone number of the Miracle Mile location. He was polite and even though he didn't seem to recognize the wines when we ordered them, he brought the correct bottles and poured without incident. This being my sister's first meal at a Season's 52, she especially enjoyed the mini indulgence desserts which Mr. Gonzalez described and served with aplomb. Delicious wine, (mostly!) healthy food, and excellent service--what more could anyone want? I dropped some cash on this meal but when my sister emailed me after she returned home to say that this meal had been the highlight of her Florida vacation, I considered it money well spent.
(5)Vachagan Y.
If you want to have a GREAT quality food in VERY upscale environment - Seasons 52 must be among your choices...
(4)Kristy K.
This is a place that I like to go eat on the Mile. The food is always good and I don't feel guilty for what I eat since it is healthy and under 500 calories. I tend to take clients here too since the ambience is more upscale, they have an extensive wine menu and their menu has a lot to offer. As such I've tried an array of things -- their flatbreads are always good, so are their apps the shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms and seared tuna, their bison burger for lunch and their filet for dinner or the chicken are good as well. Their seared tuna salad is also good as well. The mini desserts are similar to PF Chang's if you have ever had those and quite tasty. I like that their menu is always rotating so their is always something new and different to try. I'm a fan --healthy, tasty and not too terribly expensive for the Gables.
(4)Leslie S.
Excellent for those health conscious folks! All plates are under 475 calories and delicious! My husband and I have dined here several times and they have all been excellent experiences. They change their menu with every season so you can enjoy the foods that are in season.
(4)Kristy C.
The corn chowder and tomato flat bread were very good! I like that everything is healthy and low calorie. The food is good and the ambiance is very nice. I really enjoyed the live piano music as well. I'm a also a big fan of the little dessert cups! Yum!!
(4)Jamie N.
I really liked the atmosphere of the bar. It is very large with first come first serve seating. The guy playing the piano is really good and they have the volume just right. The service was great and our food came fast. Both my bf and I are very health conscious so we appreciate the thought behind this restaurant. We started with the flat bread which was tasty but could have been a bit more crisp. Then we had the stuffed mushrooms with shrimp and crab. The dish wasn't what I expected it was going to be (was thinking big mushrooms on a plate that would be stuffed) but it was still good. I think I would skip this the next time, though, and try something different. I had the scallops for dinner and my bf had the fish over rice. I would love to have the sauce for the fish with the scallops! Portions are what a portion should be, not what most people expect from a restaurant. Overall, both our meals were a bit above average, but when trying to stay under a certain number of calories, there is not too much that can be done! We each got one of the desserts and felt that the shot glass size was really filling. Overall, I thought this was a good place to go. I really appreciate the concept and I think you have to be aware of it before going, otherwise, you may feel disappointed. Seems like a great place to grab a drink!!! We will definitely go back :)
(4)Alex B.
Gotta give 4 stars just cuz it's a pretty good place with healthy food. Can't beat the fact that most dishes are under 500kcal. That in its self is amazing. Service is always good. Very nice ambiance. The flatbreads are great!
(4)sheryl a.
I've been to this place a number of times and the more I go, the less I enjoy it. Last night beat the cake. While we were finishing our meal at a booth in the bar area, I "felt" someone, it was a man and a women, standing right over my left shoulder. He said "I don't mean to be rude, but we are waiting for your table". When my daughter and I came in we went to the hostess and told her a table for two and she had someone escort us over to our table. I don't know how this couple managed to just walk thru. Maybe they thought it was a sports bar! The food was just okay. I think the best "season" is the fall menu. Considering there are more places in the Gables that serve really good food, Seasons 52 needs to step up their game.
(3)Rachel S.
Nice atmosphere, romantic lighting, and the smell of wood burning as you enter. Those were my first impressions. We only came here for drinks so I can not comment yet on the food. There was live piano music and singing which added to the lovely relaxing atmosphere. I'll be back for more.
(4)Misha M.
Well - it happened again: another email follow up promising a live "fixer" of my experience... and nothing again! Ladies and gentlemen, Season 52 has a "robot-review-answerer". Pretty much in the vein of how their food is prepared :) Skip it!
(1)felicia k.
GREAT restaurant. Fresh ingredients, ever-changing menu with the season and what's naturally abundant at the time. Great calorie distribution, if you like that kinda thing. Portions are appropriate, including desert, which is under 200 cal. All such tasty food, well prepared, and moderately priced. Nice wine selection. Good music and atmosphere. Nice wait staff. A+ I always go here when in Miami, pretty much every month.
(5)Irene O.
Went on Saturday 8/23/14 and tried their Miami Spice Menu, we got there right at 7pm and tehre was no waiting, we were seated immediately which was great on a Saturday night. First time visiting and will not be the last. The Spice menu is $39 per person for a 4 Course meal. We ordered both Flat Breads on the menu, include a Spinach and Raspberry Salad which was good if you like spinach, for entree tehy have 3 or 4 choices, we both ordered the 6oz Fliet and it was soooo good, melt in your mouth tender. Cooked to prefection. I ordered medium well as I do not like to see blood in my meat and it was tender all the way to the end. Comes with Veggies and Mashed Potatoes. For dessert they bring an assortment of shooters for you to choose one and after that big meal a small treat is just what you need. We ordered a bottle of wine and with taxes it was under $120 for 2 adutls and one child which is pretty reasonable for the Gables. Loved the live pianist and the service was awsome. Great place for meetingf or cocktals or dine in. Will be back for sure!
(5)Samir V.
I can't fathom how people like this crappy flavorless food... I tried the one up in Tampa and it sucked. I gave this one a chance due to it's great reviews, and again, bland crappy food... Great service good atmosphere, but I came to eat and enjoy some food... I don't understand how it is so many people have such bad taste, it must be the location and all the cheesy wannabe foodies that exist in that area.. So many better options in the Gables than to be spending a dime on this chain.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Meet Camille; Server Extraordinaire! This visit has to be one of the best encounters with service I have seen. Seasons 52, an otherwise 4 star restaurant, gets five stars from me this trip because of the excellent service. Camille was polite, efficient, attentive, timely and clearly understood our requests. I can't say enough about how perfect the service was, so if you go, ask for her and you'll be pleased I'm sure. Salmon and pork tenderloin is pretty good. The deserts are a modest size, but super!

Background music was great. Fair amount of options without making it overwhelming. They were very accommodating of our 2 year old and even had food options not on the menu for her. Nice wine selection and a good price range. Food was good for how healthy everything is. Save room for dessert!
(4)Stephanie S.
Amazing food! Deserts were great! Great portion size
(5)Luis A.
Great place. Nice atmosphere and excellent service. The Branzino and the Cedar Plank Salmon were outstanding. They also had an excellent choice of mini desserts, which were the perfect size to avoid over indulgence.
(5)Michele M.
Amazing!!!! All around cant believe the food was so good and good for me. Not a heavy meal. Filet mignot was really really good and the pecan dessert to die for. Still can't believe it was under 475 calories

On Saturday night, my friend and I decided to have dinner in the Gables area. We decided on Seasons 52 since I had never been there. The restaurant's décor was absolutely lovely and classy. Since we did not have reservations, we were slated to wait 1 hour, however, the hostess recommended we wait by the bar area. Luckily a booth opened up in the bar area and we were seated right away. Next time, I would make reservations. The service was exceptional. Our waitress checked on us several times throughout the meal and even though it was a packed house, our waitress did not skip a beat. She was efficient and friendly. The food..everything is under 475 calories, you basically get great quality food without the added calories. Also, each season brings in a new menu; we picked items from their autumn menu. We started out with the Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread and OMG, how good is this. It is a flatbread with melted parmesan cheese, spices and tomato's that sits atop a thin crust flatbread. It is amazing. For dinner, I chose the Oak Grilled Filet Mignon. The filet mignon was served with mashed potatoes, asparagus and carrots. Everything was cooked to my liking. I ordered the filet mignon medium rare and it was juicy, soft and tender. The mashed potatoes and vegetables were cooked perfectly. The meal was absolutely delish. For dessert, we had three of the mini desserts: red velvet, pumpkin cinnamon pie and a chocolate peanut butter mousse. Words can't describe how good these desserts were. Each one had a unique taste and the only flaw is that they are served in the mini glasses. Entertainment: the restaurant had a piano inside the bar with a singer, who sung beautifully to the great classics. The restaurant and food were just amazing. The portions are just right and although you are full you don't have that heavy feeling in your stomach. I definitely recommend this place. It is on the pricey side but I believe worth it. I can't wait to return and try items from their other menus.

LOCATION: My Hunny and I were in the mood to try something new and after reading a few reviews we decided to give Seasons 52 a try. When we arrived we were surprised of the location - right on Miracle Mile. The place was packed and everyone had a buzzer in hand. Boy, this place is going to give Houstons.. Hilstons (whatever) a run for their money! Nevermind the fact that we arrived 30 minutes early - something that we were proud of and almost never happens. Anyway we were HUNGRY! We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation time. DECOR: Cabin chic. EXPERIENCE: The waitress took her time telling us about the menu and how they have a new menu each week of the year- hence the 52 in the name. We were happy to hear that the meals are low calorie (475 to be exact) since we "try" to watch our weight. Finally a restaurant you can go to that doesn't add a pound of butter to every recipe - Sorry Paula Deen! The Manager was kind enough to come by towards the end of our meal. RECOMMENDATION: We had the Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread that everyone is raving about. My hunny loved it! I thought it was alright, no big deal. Kind of like a thin crust pizza. Entrees were good, not great. The small dessert cups are actually really good. I usually skip these kinds of desserts at other places like PF Changs - definitely try the Pecan Pie cup! Yummy! Overall I'd recommend the restaurant because you can go there, have a nice dinner without breaking the bank or the scale when you get home.

My girlfriend and I went here for a celebratory drink and I was impressed right away. We went on a Monday night when it was a bit slow but the "piano man" played on. I'm a musician so I always appreciate good live music, which this definitely was in it's own semi-cheesy but totally perfect way. My understanding is there are five different guys who come in and play, but the guy we saw was sensational and genuinely appreciative of our applause. He broke out a jazz cover of Enrique Iglesias's "Tonight I'm *ahem* Loving You" which really tickled us and a beautiful rendition of Christopher Cross's "Sailing." The drinks were very good and reasonably priced for the area. The dessert martinis were especially good. Which brings me to the desserts...I was a big fan of the mango cheesecake! I look forward to going back for dinner one of these nights, which also looked very good.

Went to Season's 52 yesterday afternoon for a lunch with my husband, hoping to begin the new year's weight loss resolutions correctly. Everything on the menu is 475 calories or less (including the sides that come with the plate). This is very good for the health conscious! I imagined that the food would come out miniscule for this amount of calories, but the plates were normal sized and the food was absolutely delicious. I could not believe the amount of flavors infused in a dish of so little calories. I would most definitely return.
(4)Monica C.
Every girl has had a "I am on a diet" moment in her life. The worst that can happen when you are on a diet is to be invited out for a business lunch. However, Seasons 52 solves this for you. Every plate is guranteed to be under 475. The steak flat bread and the fish tacos were delish. I also tried the cookies and cream dessert which left me wanting more. To top it off, they now have a skinny martini. So on during that diet period (or not), head out to Seasons 52. You will not regret it.
(5)Michelle M.
Wow, is all I can say. Heard a lot about this place but was reluctant to try their healthy cuisine. The food was amazing, went for dinner and ordered off the Miami spice and everything was delicious and the portions were huge. Can't wait to go back !!
(5)Elba D.
Been here numerous times! They offer a seasonal menu which is nice. The Fruit Martini is Amazing! The Flatbreads are Yummy. My favorite is the Garlic Chicken. The Ceviche is good but a little on the Spicy side! And they offer a variety of mini Desserts which gives you the option of eating more than one! They are delicious! All of them. The nicest thing about this restaurant is the Piano Player in the Bar area. He plays a variety of genres and even takes requests Lol!
(4)Maxine V.
I came her for dinner but would only recommend it for lunch and drinks (AND DESSERT!!!). I got scallops. I must not have paid attention to the (small) menu. I assumed the scallops would be pan seared with an amazing crust on them but when I got them they were grilled. They were cooked well, I was just disappointed that they were not what I was expecting. That however is not the fault of the restaurant. Our server was great. They have a good wine selection, but the best part of the meal was the flat breads and dessert! O-M-G, they came out with the tray of desserts and you can just point to what you want and get it right then and there (great marketing). I ended up getting the pecan pie and the berry cannoli. I also got to try everyone else's choices. Our table ended up telling the server to leave all the desserts there. The cannoli cup was BY FAR THE BEST CHOICE!!! I would go back just for the flat bread, cannoli and wine. Just reviewing it is making me hungry for more!
(4)Jessica E.
Never a disappointment. The red velvet mini dessert is divine. Service is always great.
(4)Alina R.
I've been here many times for lunch and have never reviewed it. They have a lot going for them, in my book. They are consistent. It's nice to go there and always get impeccable service and delicious food (healthy, too!!) I've had their buffalo burger, fish tacos, flat breads, cedar-plank salmon, and I've yet to be disappointed. Their individual-sized desserts are really great for when you're in the mood for a scaled-down indulgence.
(5)Cc R.
Delicious meals that aren't too heavy, and perfectly-sized desserts! Plus, the pianist is amazing. I love that they change their menu with the seasons, too.
(4)Patricia W.
Came with a party of 14 people and the food and service exceeded my expectations. Often with large parties it can be a little chaotic and courses can get delayed but that didn't happen. Food and service were excellent. Love that when u order wine by the glass they allow u to taste it and the bartender made suggestions. The servers were super friendly and patient with us. It was a really great choice for a large birthday dinner.
(5)s s.
This is among my favorite restaurants in coral gables. The food is consistently delicious and the healthy, fresh options are amazing. Prices are a little bit high but you won't find anything comparable nearby.
(4)Michelle B.
From an open and friendly kitchen visible to all visitors to a tasty menu that only boasts items 475 calories or less, Seasons is putting its mantra where our mouths are and not our pounds. I would have to say that the only problem is during dessert. The 'mini indulgences', which are 3 oz. shot glasses that range from fruity favorites such as key lime pie to chocolaty rocky road, make me look like the Cookie Monster gone wild. So maybe I can't have just, one, two, three, four...STOP JUDGING ME. Anyways, to me, this place never disappoints.

Went there with another couple on a Saturday night. We had 7:45 reservations and decided to get there early (7:30) and have a few drinks at the bar. Walked right up to the bar, sat down and enjoyed great bar service. At 8:30, we were still waiting for a table. we decided, since there was open seating around the bar, that we would just sit there and order. We dined for over an hour and a half and it was fantastic. From the flatbreads appetizers to the Scallops, the Veal, the Shrimp. All so very delicous. The the little desert shots! Amazing! Now, my two little nit-picks. First, we waited over 45 minutes past our reservation time before we took it upon ourseves to just sit in the bar. It really didn't seem that busy. Second, it was a very humid night and since we were sitting in the bar it was very hot. We asked the server if there was anything she could do and she stated that she would close one of the glass door that are in front. However, they have theses little bar tables out there and all of them had patrons so the couldn't close the doors. That aside, I would definitely return. The food was so good and everyone was so friendly that I can easily overlook two minor issues.
(4)Veronica D.
WOW! what great food, from their selection of low calorie flat breads to their large selection of entrees under 450 calories. Not to mention their deserts that are perfectly portioned and brought to you ready to eat. Their service is also impeccable! I ordered the Fillet Mignon and unfortunately the kitchen messed up on the order twice. The manager comped my meal and the bottle of wine. He also made it a point to excuse the mistake a number of times. I was very impressed by the his professionalism and service recovery standards that he exemplified. I will definitely be coming back for another meal!!!!! yum yum yum!
(5)Maria B.
Went for my birthday, they had a birthday card on the table for me. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered flatbread, the goat cheese ravioli, steak, wine . . . it was all perfect. Our waitress was a sweetheart gave us excellent service. Loved the piano at the bar & the decor was lovely. Can't wait to return.
(4)Ting W.
Food here was great. I ordered a Sangria, then finished, then ordered another one. First one had strawberries all the way to the top, perfect mixture of all the ingredients. The second one tasted like they were trying to pull a fast one on me. Filled with grenadine and club soda with no fruit. Yuck, sent it back. The flat bread appetizers were good. Although I wouldn't say "to die for" and my pasta meal with shrimp was decent. I'd like to try other items.
(3)Dianna R.
The best thing about Seasons 52 is the fresh menu! Vegetables are seasonal and fresh. And there are many organic, cage free options for various menu items. This is rare in a moderately priced restaurant. The service was ok - I think the servers are still new and learning. The live piano and singer in the bar area was great!! Can't beat a live piano!
(4)Isabelle D.
The actually entree I had was not good at all. The only reason why I am giving them any stars at all is for their desserts. They are amazing. I will come again just for them. Probably drink at the bar and eat desserts, which is perfectly fine with me.
(3)Lourdes W.
Is this my favorite place? No, but I will come here because it's healthy and it's in a good location for me. It's nice to know that everything is under 500 calories and you can taste it. I've been here for lunch and dinner and I cannot say that I've been "wow'ed" any of those times. I will say that they have the best edamame I've had because they actually give you a bowl of salt to dunk it in as opposed to coming pre-salted like everywhere else. I have had the stuffed shrimp with artichoke, which was decent. I also have tried the trout and the scallops. The scallops had a sweet flavor to it because of the sauce they used, it comes with asparagus and a pearl pasta which was also rather sweet. The trout is probably the better tasting dish I've had here, but it's generally not my seafood preference. I have yet to sit in the main dining room, because it's always full. Service could be better. In fact, they forgot to put in the order, so the manager took care of our desserts, coffee, and drinks. Please try the red velvet mini-dessert. You will not be disappointed. Interestingly, over the weekend, they had some live entertainment which was a guy playing a piano inside the bar. He kept stroking classic dinner hits, but it wasn't until he did a "I'm a Genie in a Bottle/ Ganster's Paradise" mash-up that he got any applause. Seasons 52 doesn't get a standing O from me, but more like a slow clap.
(3)Kenny G.
It all started looking through Yelp for a great place to eat.. Surely I found Seasons 52 and looked through some great reviews and off I was to try it out for myself! The location is great if you just want to walk around and enjoy the day, and once you get there, you are greeted by the nicest staff in Miami. The menu is full of food that is great ( and it changes through out the year, ask the waitress to give you the background), and also great for you. Everything is low calorie BUT do not get confused... it is awesome. They have a great list of Wines if your into that (we weren't but the waitress insisted that we did), and if your not I still recommend trying at least one, these guys know their stuff about it. The desserts... WOW. Run out there as soon as you can, its really worth it btw, ask for Heather... she will take care of all your questions and is a great waitress.
(5)Josh M.
I ordered the lamb mini t-bone. The lamb was decent but was very difficult to eat with a fork and knife because of the bone. The asparagus was very crunchy and lacked taste for me. The mashed potatoes were EXTREMELY garlicky. Overall, I would recommend this dish.
(4)Jennifer D.
This restaurant is extraordinary! The name says it all! The food changes by every season of the year to give you a fresh meal at every visit. Their are certain items that change every week, giving you the 52 weeks a year. On top of that everything is under 475 calories but that doesn't mean the food is tasteless, it's full of flavor, its just more like the "right portion" one should eat. My boyfriend and I had one of their marvelous flatbreads, mushroom and shrimp goat cheese appetizer, and the pork tenderloin, don't get scared! That goat cheese tastes amazing and the flatbreads are to die for. When you go ask for Heather she is VERY sweet and explains everything! Don't leave without a dessert! These little delicacies will leave you dying for more, but don't forget these are the right portion at a great price. :) enjoy!
(5)Katherine M.
I love the food and wine here. The concept is fab - every item on the menu is under 450 calories and they offer fresh, in-season vegetables, hence the name refers to 52 weeks of the year. Even the desserts are under 450 calories, and of course they are TINY. I always order a fish entree with vegetables. The flat breads are good too. The decor reminds me of an upscale ski lodge: dark woods, fireplace, dark leather chairs. Come for a nice happy hour near the bar (although they don't have any happy hour prices) or a romantic, candlelit dinner in the main dining area.
(5)Andres R.
This place was a great find. My wife and I had passed by a few times but never had the chance to go. After reading some reviews, we decided to try it and were not let down. The food was amazing. We started with the lobster bisque from the specials menu. It's not a set item but if they have it I strongly recommend it. My wife had a tuna salad which was great and my son had grilled chicken from the kids menu (also very tasty). I had the Grouper Mayan (also from the specials menu) and it was excellent! I never knew 475 calories could taste so good. We finished the night with two deserts (each was served in what looked like big shot glasses). They bring a tray of 6 or 7 of them for you to choose from. The presentation of the food was perfect and the service was too. The entertainment was impressive as well. There was a woman playing the piano and singing popular songs which added to the whole experience. The piano is actually behind the bar. Great place. Will definitely be visiting again soon.
(4)Christina M.
While I am not a big fan of chain restaurants, this one was really good! I love that they cook only with seasonal foods! We showed up late, almost 11 p.m. but our food was very good and the service was on point.
(4)Natasha M.
I could come here and stuff my face with flatbreads and leave 100% satisfied. Those things were amazing. The decor, the atmosphere,the service, the food: everything is great. The restaurant is huge! They have private dining rooms for parties, the main dining room with a view to the kitchen (in a somewhat cool way), and then the side bar with several booths and even a piano player playing different tunes. A nice place to dine, best for a special occasion.
(5)Ivette B.
Mediocre at best. Gets 2 stars bc of the location and the decor - it is very pretty inside. Went there with my bf and his fam. we all ordered diff things and tried a variety of the winter menu items - flatbreads, Mac n cheese, and goat cheese ravioli for appetizer and filet, beef tenderloins, lamb, and scallops for dinner. Eh - nothing really wowed us. Also, the waitress poured red wine all over my bf's dad. At least they offered to dry-clean his jacket...
(2)Janina A.
I went here for my 30th Birthday and LOVED it! The food is great, the decor is lovely, and the service is top notch! I really have nothing negative to say about this place. They even gave me a souvenir photo of my party. Great way to remember my 30th. Thank you!!
(5)Sandra E.
I had a really great dining experience at Seasons 52. The service was excellent, as well as all of the menu items we ordered- they even brought us samples of the soups (which were amazing I must add) We sat outside, since we had a dog with us, and they even brought bread for the puppy. I thought that was super friendly. Kudos :) If you are having trouble picking what to eat, start off with one of the flatbreads. They are super light and full of flavor- We tried the Plum Tomato with basil...thin, crispy, a perfect starter! Everything looked super tasty on the menu, but here's my recommendation: go for the specials. I ordered a curry shrimp roll with avocado accompanied with a fresh mango and jicama salad with wild greens and a tangy tropical dressing- it was divine. It was perfect for a well balanced lunch. Super friendly service, pet friendly and delicious- I'll be back!

The interior of this new restaurant sports an Arts and Crafts design via Greene and Greene. It is nice and warm and cozy thanks to lots of wood and stone and carpet. There are two nice large window walls that open completely to the sidewalk, one on the dining side and one on the bar side. It is a nice touch, especially this time of year when they can open the room to the street activity. The restaurants claim to fame is healthy eating and freshness, hence the name Seasons. They supposedly change the menu four times a year featuring seasonally appropriate fare and all of the menu items are under 475 calories. I was able to take advantage of the complementary dining offer twice for lunch. The first time I had the "Greek" Salad and the Grilled Swordfish Special. The salad was pretty good with large chunks of cucumber and feta and lots of kalamata olives but the transparent slices of tomato was pretty sad. The swordfish was cooked a bit more than I like it but it was not over done. It was served on a bed of bok choy, mushrooms and rice, both the fish and the vegetables were excellent. I had the shot of lemon pound cake for dessert. The desserts are minuscule in order to keep them under 475 calories. For my second lunch, I had the chili and the fish tacos. The large pieces of meat in the chili were a bit tough otherwise it was good but not Houston's good. The fish tacos suffered from being too healthy. The taco looked like it was whole wheat, but I am not positive, and the fish was grilled and not fried. It was no Baja Fish Taco but it could probably be saved by just changing the taco shell. The wine list is extensive with about 60 wines by the glass. Since they don't have a cruvinet I would hope that they have a lot of turnover on the wine otherwise there is a possibility that you may be ordering an old wine. Luckily, the wines that I had were very good if a bit overpriced based on the stingy pours. I had the Catena Malbeck, the Schug Pinot and the TENZ and Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blancs. The only disappointment was the TENZ, the Schug was excellent if really expensive. I must return and try some additional items, the seared scallops that the person sitting next to me ordered looked delicious.
(4)Andrea S.
The decor and ambience of the restaurant is so nice. It reminds me of a ski lodge! It's not loud inside, and the staff are so friendly the moment you walk in through the door, calling you by your name. The food is good. We had the artichoke stuffed shrimp and grilled swordfish and they were delicious. There is an excellent wine selection, and if you're afraid of buying a glass of wine that has the potential of gone bad, don't be. My table had three different wines and none of them had oxidized. Best part of the food: it's good for your calorie counting. Including the desserts. Which were excellent. I have a huge sweet tooth so I was skeptical about the size of the dessert being satisfying, but it truly was. I had the rocky road, and you think that little cup is only four bites but I managed to take at least 10. As far as price wise, it's not too bad. A glass of wine averaged around $11, the entree dishes were around $20, and I believe the desserts were around $8. I'll be back.
(5)Miguel F.
Yay, a Seasons 52 in the Gables! I have been a couple times to the location in Fort Lauderdale and I am a big fan. Last week I tried out the new spot with fellow yelper Janelle and my best friend. We went for lunch and there was no wait, but talk is get ready to wait if you come for dinner. Spicy -- Buffalo Chili -- perfect amount... and it had a little kick to it as well. Big chunks of meat in it, black beans, DELICIOUS BBQ Chicken Salad -- Yummy. I have had this before and again it was great. Greens, spinach, corn, bbq chicken, roasted red peppers, pumpkin seeds and blue cheese -- can it get any better? Desserts -- I love their selection plus the shot glasses are perfect when you just want something sweet after dinner but dont want an entire dessert. I had the key lime pie and I wanted more :) Medium -- Steak and mushroom flatbread -- it was pretty good considering i don't like mushrooms too much. Their flatbreads are a must get... love. Mild -- nothing really. My friends enjoyed their meals and their cocktails also :) If you are in the Gables this is a definite spot to check out!
(4)Gustavo A. L.
They are officially opening on the 15th of November, but for now, they are offering the opportunity to sample their menu and their service for the next few days. Very nice place, it will no doubt be a hit in Miracle Mile, the decor is unique and modern and obviously, thus far, the service has been flawless as they are in training and there is a visible presence at all times. Something tells me that this level of quality and service will remain and it will be a breath of fresh air in Miami, I will no doubt return and update this review as I become more acquainted with the place and they roll out in full force. Something that is uniquely cool is how they rotate their menu to match the season - As of right now, I have tried their scallops for appetizer and the Fillet Mignon and I can say that both dishes were absolutely fantastic. I work literally across the street from this place, so I am looking forward to being a regular here. Stay tuned - updates to come, but in the meantime definitely see for yourself...go to Seasons 52 and give it a try -
(5)Ted H.
Had lunch here and was impressed with the seasonal menu. Be sure to also check out the daily specials. The desserts are excellent and come in appropriately small portions.
(4)Lorely B.
Been meaning to write a review for this place, and have yet to go back But Yay! I'm a fan! Its a tasty spot for the health conscious and taste conscious. I had the goat cheese raviolis, which were light, fluffy and goat-cheesy. How on earth could it e less than 450 calories??? Who knows, don't ask - don't tell - just eat it! I also tried a few of the flatbreads which are also low calorie and yummmmsville. The Cuban one was really tasty and another one with mushrooms was quite light and flavorful. Short review because it's been so long since I've been there, but I know I have to make my way back soon!
(4)Monica A.
this place is the definition of a well-run restaurant. the food is healthy, fresh, and they never get my order wrong!!! the wait can sometimes be long for a table, but they generally honor reservations very well. one time when we waited for awhile, the manager gave us gift cards and apologized profusely. THAT is how you get repeat customers. i get here whenever i have a chance! the dessert shots are so perfectly portioned so you don't overdo it... and the drinks are delicious as well.
(5)Danny E.
Food under 475 calories? Good food under 475 calories? Great food under 475 calories? Plus nice wine selection! My dinner at Seasons 52 was all three of those. Certainly, it was food. Clearly, it was good, but only some of it was great. The Crab/Shrimp Mushrooms were delicious, maybe not as delicious as the cheese on the serving pan that I saw every table picking at when the mushrooms were all gone...deelish! The pork chops I got were pretty standard, not overly tasty but certainly good. The polenta that paired with it was actually really tasty, a good sub for a mashed potato puree. The rest of the table loved their meals and the ambiance, presentation of food and SERVICE does speak gourmet. My wife thought the Tuna Salad she got was more than fair in portion size and very tasty and a friend had a delicious looking filet mignon. We will be back and when I try something different, I hope to see another star, it's what I expect of the place.
(3)Tawny P.
I can't think of a better place to spend New Year's Eve!! This is our second year celebrating the big night out at Seasons 52, and thus far, it's been nothing but excellence! The seared ahi tuna (appetizer) was better than I expected... I followed that up with a caesar salad, which was just as good as I thought it would be. Our waiter recommended a nice Pinot Noir, which although on the rather pricey side was some of the best wine I've ever had! My boyfriend had the rainbow trout, and I opted for the pork medallions; both were spot on and very flavorful! To finish off the what seemed like a hundred course meal we each had a little dessert cup (epically priced at just $2.50 for flavor!)... The peanut butter cup had my mouth doing backflips! And with a constantly changing menu, you can NOT go wrong at Seasons 52!!
(5)Donald M.
Tonight we went for my mother's birthday.. all entree's are supposed to be under 500 calories.. we did the set dinner for $35. four course meal... appetizer... salad... entrée... dessert... the flat bread was by far my fav app, chicken skewers are ok, but only 3... shrimp stuffed mushrooms were my next fav, come 6... both salads were delicious, mixed greens and the spinach salad... entrée... the fillet mignon was excellent... the salmon is delicious as well... as for dessert, they serve "mini indulgences" i had the chocolate & peanut butter one... carrot cake was good, pecan was great! cookies and cream one had an Oreo in it... fantastic! if its your birthday (it was my mothers) they give you an extra "mini indulgence" and a card hand written by the server, as well as a group photo which the print on the spot for you... GREAT FRIENDLY personal touch... all in all. a great time.
(5)Laura A.
The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because the flatbread, wine, and dessert were phenomenal! Other than that, the food was bland. I ordered the spicy tandoori chicken skewers, and there was nothing spicy about them. My mom ordered the pork tenderloin, and it was cooked well but tasteless! I probably won't be going back again, unless it's for a flatbread!
(3)Jenna M.
I cannot believe they put a Seasons 52 in Miami! I love this place. The menu never gets old because it changes with the season and everything on the menu is under 475 calories. But you wouldn't believe it. All entrees are perfectly portioned and extremely delicious. You won't come across anything bland, tasteless, or over seasoned. The service is also amazing. If you are in the Coral Gables/Miracle Mile area make sure you stop here for lunch or dinner and prepare for a delicious meal.
(5)Andrew J.
Ate here last night for the first time and had a very enjoyable evening. The space is quite nice, with a beautiful main dining room and some private rooms off to the side. Bar area is great with lots of cozy booths and a piano player. Food and service were top notch. When you order wine by the glass, they bring the bottle to the table and offer you a sip first to make sure you like it, which is a very nice touch. All the dishes are low calorie and the prices are fair. They were packed on a Wednesday night so it seems the concept is a hit. Loved the mini desserts..only $2.50.
(4)Adrian P.
Not much to say here, it's ok. Food was ok, ate the scallops. Was suppose to come with pasta, but didn't. Came with couscous instead. Really boring plate, but tasty. Started with the flat bread and it was as if it was from California Pizza. Didn't stand out one bit. Really wasn't impressed with the food. Was hoping for a Flemings sort of vibem, but was about a few steps below that.
(2)Janelle B.
Its been quite some time since I found a place where the servers are all super friendly and so attentive. Drew, our server last night, is hands down the sweetest ever! Our dinner consisted of the seared tuna salad as the appetizer, which was excellent, and the lamb chops with mashed potatoes, which was also very good. Everything on the menu is supposed to be low calorie, but nothing tasted as if it was. For dessert I had the Oreo shot, which was delicious and just the right size!

The place is cozy and looks ill placed in Miami where most places are sleek and modern. The decor is a welcomed change to the usual except for the fabric on the chairs and booths which screams out 90s. I'm sure the restaurant will do well on mircale mile but for me I doubt I will go back often. It's great to have a healthy food option here but I left hungry and was not satisfied. The buffalo chili was delicious and a good portion but the flatbreads were almost nonexistent. I don't think it is humanely possible to roll out that dough anymore than they do. The crab stuffed mushroom were great and hard to believe not too caloric. I'm not a fan of the mini desserts however. I think if I am in the mood for a light lunch or a glass of wine and an appetizer I would head to Seasons 52 but if I am hungry and looking for a dinner spot I would never think to come here.

NEW FAV place on the mile! LOVE the piano player @ the bar! We have been several times now and the most memorable server so far has been Daniella, she rocked! Great service and this is my BIGGEST pet peeve! Since i am a snobby eater! I like what i like the way i like it, you know! Wine is always a great choice! I rather the bar "informal" side with outside sitting area than the "formal" dinner area.... THE FISH TACOS during lunch are fantastico! and the plum ripe tomato flat bread...DROOL! and top all the above goodness with (2 if you feel a sweet / sour tooth) Meyer Lemon dessert...ahhhh...LOVE in your mouth! nuff said!

Honestly, my wife wanted to try something new, which is a nice tradition we've started as of late. She had heard about this place from some family, and boy were they right about it. Fantastic food, REASONABLY priced (unlike most good food in Miracle Mile), and an atmosphere that will rival any of the Mile restaurants. Give this place enough time and it's bound to become a tourist must have, if you ask me. Since their menu varies seasonally, hard to tell if my recommendation will still be there when you go, but here goes. I had the Rainbow Trout, which I figured would be less tasty since it's not a native fish, but also was cheaper than some of the other seafood ($16). Honestly, I was REALLy surprised by how juicy and flavorful it was! Again, for a reasonable price!!

This place is great!! Everything is under 475 calories and majority of the dishes are organic. If you don't care about any of that - the food is extremely yummy. Their menu changes with the seasons and I think that's what keeps me coming back! Not only does their main course menu change but their drinks and dessert change as well. The flatbreads are a must. I've tried several things on the menu and everything is extremely tasteful. Don't forget to eat dessert! Great portion and great price. What I love about this place is that I don't leave feeling gross like I completely pigged out. The food is light, but filling at the same time. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to the next season. :)

Was greeted by our fantastic waitress Lorena who made the evening and the experience. Great on suggestions and service. This place is a must and smart on your waistline. Love the whole concept. Make sure you get Lorena!

i was a impressed with the decor and feel of the restaurant. dim lighting, cozy and tables far enough apart that it caters to some privacy. however as kelly o mentioned the fabric used to upholster the seats is outdated. i was a little underwhelmed with the food, but am genuinely excited to have a healthy option in the gables (which is otherwise a haven for steak houses and italian restaurants). i had the cuban flatbread which shockingly tasted exactly like a cuban sandwich. the stuffed mushrooms were awesome!! and the goat cheese ravioli was kind of small but delicious - you just really better like goat cheese, because the flavor is overpowering. had a taste of the chili which was one of the best ive ever had! i oredered the chocolate peanut butter mousse for dessert that i felt like licking the shot glass in came in because it was just that good!! overall the restaurant is nice, the service was eager (actually i was annoyed at how eager they were to clear our plates, even when there was still food on them) and the prices were fair. i think this is a great addition to the gables scene.

Went in for lunch on a Thursday, it was busy with business. I sat at the bar while I waited for my table and my friends to arrive. I ordered a Sunshine Martini, very delicious. They infuse their vodka and there are several types to try. We were seated promptly by the hostess, the server followed and was very nice and polite. We asked several questions and he was happy to give us plenty of info on the dish. Every item on the lunch menu is less than 475 calories which is nice if you are constantly dieting like I am. We ordered the caramelized crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, then proceeded to order. I had the fish tacos... they were delicious. My friend ordered the spicy chicken chile relleno which she let me try and it was great also. Just enough food to fill you up but not too excessive. Very nice atmosphere, helpful staff, very nice for anytime of the week.

First time there. Food was excellent,well prepared and quick service. Nice bar. The flatbreads were to die for.I couldn't believe each dish was under 475 calories. For those that seriously count calories this place should be your next dinner destination. Great caloric value. portions were just right and with the calorie savings I was able to have a dessert. We had swordfish, tuna tartar,scallops and trout, all of which were excellent choices. I can't wait to go back and eat more of their healthy and delicious choices.....and now for the deserts.. Our jaws dropped as they presented 12 transparent shot glasses, each filled with a unique and scrumptious dessert, we each ine dessert and we enjoyed every last bite. I have subsequently eaten there and its still great and exceeds expectations . It is so busy I have to sit at the bar. .....Sandor Lenner

The food is always fresh and tasty, and service is great.
(5)Remy L.
Season's 52 is always a good pick for lunch with coworkers. Great service, great flow and great original food. Worth the trip.
(5)Arlynes H.
The place is super nice...I love the decor, but most of all I love the food, we ordered appetizers, main course, salad and desert.I am sure that there is options for every appetite. They have a piano bar that makes the place even more likable. The atmosphere invites you to stay and taste the great organic selection, with low calories options. I really recommend this restaurant.
(5)Mercy D.
We absolutely love this place. Everything is delicious. The service is excellent. Daniella was our waitress and she never missed a beat. The decor is also very trendy. Live music at the bar. Definitely on my list of restaurants that I love.

yummy!!!!
(4)Natasha S.
I really wanted to like this place when I walked in. The decor is very new school steakhouse with the dark wood and wine bottles everywhere. There is also a piano player which I thought was a nice touch. We got the flatbread with tomatoes and basil. It was subpar at best. The ends where burnt and the Parmesan cheese was also burnt. Next we had the roasted shrimp with pasta and the filet mignon. I tried the shrimp and it was delicious. I cannot say the same about my steak. It was low quality and rare in the center and well done on the outside. I also ordered the salad with raspberries and those where very good. Maybe this place is more of a salad and fish place. The mini desserts where very good and just the right size. The service was excellent and the staff was very accommodating. I really like the concept of this place where they keep in season and under 475 calories. I still don't know if I'll give them another chance.
(2)J M.
I'll let eveyone else go on and on about the decor and food. I'm going to give you a tidbit that you can use on your next date to show you know a little something extra about this place. Notice the 52 etched onto the wine glasses? It's not just there to make sure you don't run off with the glass as a souvenir. Did you know that they etch the 52 on the wine glasses so that you will always get a consistent pour of 6 ozs regardless of the shape of the glass. :) I do love their mini-desserts. I'll take one of everything.
(5)Jessica R.
I love this place! I tried this place last weekend and already can't wait to go back. Both the food and the service were great. Anyone that goes must try the flatbreads. They're legit. The menu at seasons is interesting. First, it's seasonally inspired. Second, everything listed is under 475 calories. Nothing is low fat or low carb. It's just an appropriate portion.
(5)Miggy F.
Very healty and tasty, a bit pricy for the what you get, but you can't go wrong with this place for a light lunch!

Over Christmas break, I went here to meet some friends and catch up as well as try a new flavor in Coral Gables. I had already heard so many good things about this place that I was excited! But, I had hear that the service what somewhat slow. Depsite my hesitance, there we went... Dinner was great; I sampled the Maui Tuna Crunch Salad and loved it. The portion was perfect and not overwhelmingly large like in many other restaurants these days. The menu showed a selection of very healthy and tasty plates, but this is what caught my eye. I also, had a few glasses of wine, which were good, but a little on the expensive side. The bill was a little above what I like to pay for dinner, but all in all that was not my main complaint. Stay tuned so you can hear about the service! Our waitress was a lovely person; very sweet and attentive, but the service could not have been slower. Upon hearing that my friend wanted to receive the check as soon as possible, she proceeded to leave us waiting over 20 minutes to receive the check. While I realize the place was full that evening and they are or were a brand new restaurant working out the kinks, it's something the management should really anticipate and work against. Otherwise, I had a very pleasant evening and greatly enjoyed my meal. Specifically, while I was there I got a peek at their luxurious and spacious bar in a separate room entirely. I would like to try this out some time, hopefully soon. And, I may return for dinner in the future when I leave a little more time to wait and don't have my impatience stamped on my forehead :)
(3)David C.
Everything about this place works... The service is perfect, the ambiance is amazing, the drinks are great and of course the food... It is such a pleasant experience to know that the food you are eating is healthy and not swimming is butter and fat. Some things t try... ... Stuffed Mushrooms ... Any Flat bread ... The Chili ... Any fish dish The menu is always changing like the seasons, so you will not get bored. You eat well and feel great after, what a novelty!!!

FIrst a warning - I got a parking ticket at 9:12 PM while enjoying my dinner at Seasons52. I was parked right outside the door. So parkers beware the CIty of Coral Gables is out fining you for parking while you are spending money in the local businesses..... at 9PM.... Really????? We had another great dinner at Seasons52 in Coral Gables. The service was excellent, the food as advertised, I had the salmon, prepared perfectly and tasty. We had a group of 11 ppl and all enjoyed their visit. As usual the mini desserts were great and a huge hit. Always a winner.
(4)Christine V.
love that place , specially the bar area where you can enjoy a glass of cava with a amazing flat bread !
(5)Janet D.
A good for you addition to Miracle Mile. I paid what looks to be the first of many visits to Seasons 52 this past Saturday. It was early so we had no problem grabbing a booth by the bar and proceeded to have a delicious and pleasant meal.Each of the dishes we tried were full of flavor and decent size portion (we were leary having heard this was a "healthy" spot. The Cuban flatbread (unique to this location) The goat cheese ravioli (so good) The fish tacos (yummy wheat tortilla and just enough kick) The tortilla soup (really tasty) The dessert are not only adorable, but delicious as well. All in all, I thought the menu was nicely varied and not overwhelming and I will certainly be back for more!
(4)Oz F.
Been to this Seasons 52 twice, once (weekend dinner) the service and food was fantastic. My second visit (Saturday morning lunch) the service was awful and food was average at best. I would probably visit again for dinner but never again for lunch.
(3)Michael B.
In a city where I am pretty consistently disappointed with service and quality, Seasons 52 is a very refreshing reminder that there are still some restaurants out there that get it. ***It should be noted that every dish on their menu is guaranteed to be 475 calories or less. They have extensive nutritional information on their website if you are closely monitoring your calorie intake. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by friendly staff that immediately took care of us. The decor was lovely and has a very warm, Colorado lodge feel. The staff is very attentive, very friendly and very capable. Their prices are very reasonable and you can make your meal as light or heavy as you like. The flatbreads are all delicious and would make a great light snack on their own. Their menu changes completely every 3 months to reflect what is in season and fresh at that time...an amazingly wonderful concept. They also have specials that change every week. The restaurant just feels healthy, fresh and overall...right. They have a lovely outdoor area where you can sit on a pleasant day or night and enjoy a glass of one of the 60 wines they offer by the glass (and of course a few flatbreads.) This is a place I very much look forward to returning to. As I mentioned before, they really got it right with the quality of service they provide...a rarity in Miami these days.

So I went to Season's 52 this past weekend with a large group of friends. I had never heard of it, but there are so many new restaurants popping up on the Mile lately, its hard to keep track of them. The restaurant has a nice upper scale ambiance, kind of like Carraba's. It is a chain that tries to feel like its not a chain. The theme of their menu is to use only fresh produce and meats that are in season. I would consider their menu to be American fusion of sorts. They were offering a pre-fixe menu this evening and I decided to go with it, just for the sake of being able to try a larger number of dishes. I started out with the mushroom caps stuffed with crab and shrimp, which I thought sounded good. When it came to us they were covered in mozzarella cheese and parsley, which made me apprehensive since seafood tends to be better when left to its own seasonings. The shrimp were half the size of cocktail shrimp and the tasted like sausage. It was quite odd to be eating shrimp, that looked like shrimp, but tasted exactly like sausage. It wasn't a good thing. Most everyone else in our group who ordered them thought they were pretty bad as well. One guy even joked about swallowing them whole with his beer because he was just hungry, however I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.... Since we were a large group (20 people) it understandably took awhile for our orders to arrive. Apparently they do not serve bread to ward off hungry lions at Season's 52. I really think any good restaurant should serve bread, its a great investment to keep customers from grumbling. The salad came next. It was a simple spinach salad with raspberries, gorgonzola cheese, and pinenuts. It had a vinagrette on it of some sort, it was actually quite sour and didn't really go well with the rest of the salad. Too many sour flavors and not enough sweet to balance it out properly. Again, fresh bread or croutons would work wonders here. I ordered the Salmon on a cedar plank for my entree and my husband ordered the Filet Mignon. My salmon was cooked to perfection and was lovely. Very interesting to see it cooked on a plank of cedar wood, I had never had salmon like this before. The meal came with steamed carrots, red potatoes, and steamed asparagus. Unfortunately they were not good. The carrots were bland, the potatoes were half way cooked, and the asparagus was tough and overcooked. The vegetables were only seasoned with the barest of salt and pepper. I think the chef wants you to appreciate the freshness of the vegetables and their natural flavors, which you probably could if they had been cooked properly. My husband's filet mignon was very good, nearly everyone else at the table ordered it as well. His vegetables had also been mistreated like mine, except for the mushrooms which were tasty. So he traded me his mushrooms for the half of my red potatoes that were cooked. The filet mignon came with a plum style barbeque sauce which I thought was a bit unconventional with a good quality steak. I had the mini Meyer lemon dessert in a cup and my husband had the Baklava. They were great and everyone else at the table loved their desserts. So the night ended well. The portions were full sized which is surprising as most restaurants try to skimp for pre-fix meals and the wait staff was pretty good. Their were a few small dings, it seemed they weren't used to managing large groups. Everyone had to ask for steak knives after their entrees arrived and the waitresses just slid them across the table without wrapping them in a napkin which I thought was a bit unsanitary. So a few pointers for a restaurant that is trying to be upscale. The food here is ok, but it seems like the menu was put together without testing it out on real people. Some things are good, but there is an overall blandness to most of the dishes which is disappointing since the idea of using seasonal/local foods seems like a good one. I would have much preferred going to Angelique which is also on the Mile and has excellent Euro fusion cuisine.

What a pleasant surprise. I was in the Miracle Mile area today around lunch and remembered hearing something about Seasons 52, so I thought I would stop by for a bite. I looked at the menu and thought 475 calories (everything is under 475 calories on the menu) - these must be some tiny portions! I was wrong. First, the chef brought out an amuse bouche of shrimp on top of a tropical salad. A very nice start. And quite the surprise considering that it was lunch. I then had the chipotle shrimp flat bread. Very good flavors - and honestly, a huge amount of it... and then the goat cheese raviolis came out. Once again, a very large portion and solid flavors. I'm shocked that these portions were under 475 calories - but apparently there is no frying and no butter in the preparation. Honestly, I didn't miss butter or frying. On top of it, the service was quite polite and attentive. The staff seem quite intent on ensuring everyone has a quality experience. I did sneak a peek at the dessert tray - and this is where portion control does kick in for the 475 calories... it all looked marvelous though... but shockingly I was full, and had a doggy bag to bring the extras home. Who would have thought?
(4)Lilyvania M.
I'm officially a fan of this tasty and healthy eatery. And I heart the fact that they change the menu every season. All about it. Try the mushroom flatbread, the burger and you can't leave without having the oreo dessert. Yumm!
(4)L M.
Hands down one of my favorite restaurants, ever. Are you going to have to sit and wait forever for a table, even if you have a reservation? Yes. But it's so worth it. Once you're at a table they are super fast and take care of you. Last time we had Joel as our server and he was fantastic. Favorite drink: Strawberry Basil Fusion. Perfect hint of strawberry without being overly sweet and sugary. Tastes fresh. $11 which isn't all that bad considering they fill up your martini glass and then give you the shaker which has more drink in it. Yum. I also love that if you order wine at dinner the waiter will pour the glass at your table instead of doing it in the back. It's a nice touch. Favorite dish: Honestly- all of em! I've never had anything bad. These are my favorites: -Earthbound Farm's Organic Arugula Salad: big chunks of goat cheese, not too much dressing, love the beets -Caramelized Sea Scallops: last time I think there were 8 scallops on my plate cooked perfectly, i subbed spinach for the asparagus and it was sooo good -Tuna & Avocado Roll: this was on special when I went, just as good as anything I've had in a sushi restaurant -Spicy Chipotle Shrimp Flatbread: the smoky chipotle mixed with the sweet pineapple is so good Also, it's a sin if you don't get one of the mini indulgences. My favorites are the carrot cake and peanut butter chocolate ones.

A "very nice" experience overall. Very nice is the most impersonal term when describing food and probably the most overused words out of the servers mouth. Consistent with the feel of Coral Gables itself; artificial. The food however was tasty and appropriately priced for the flavor. Quantities quantities. I understand how they are able to sneak everything in under their calorie limit. ordered four appetizers total and two entrees for two people; leaving not a speck on any plate and eventually after an excess of chewing felt sated. Live piano player = WTF? is this a high end department store? piano is BEHIND the bar...... strange On a very positive note if you are looking for a table and a very negative note if you are sitting; the bar has booths and tables that are first come first serve. You have to walk around and see how far people are through their meal (which is where it is awkward to see people lingering and strategizing for your table) and hope you get lucky if you don't want to wait traditional style.... I was very lucky after being quoted 1.5 hours to wait less than 10 minutes. It did require me to postpone smiling so that I could sport my seriously don't even f*ing try it face....no one did try it.. and I got my table : ) I could feel disdain from a few servers who forgot they were servers and not models. Either that or they continue to suffer silently through the indignation from having to wait on people they find contemptible. Pretty servers who can smile through a massacre are not enough to convince me of anything. If you like everything all the time then you will love it here. If you are looking for amazing anything just keep looking. If you are trying to eat in a "very nice" atmosphere on the cheap... do it.. most expensive entree was only 25. And even with bitter servers the flavors of the food(which remain unaffected) are a fair trade for this price point.

Because of the short week, I had my regular lunch out with my boss and co-worker today. Together we all experienced the new Seasons 52 that just opened on Miracle Mile. I ordered the blackened fish tacos, a cappuccino, and couldn't turn down a double shot glass dessert of a mocha chocolate concoction thing once our server, Jeff, placed a large platter of an assortment of different desserts on our table and set up our doilies and spoons. Smart, Jeff. Smart. I thought everything was delicious and actually ate everything I was served! ..which makes me think most people wouldn't be satisfied with the portions at this restaurant considering I always eat half of what I'm served anywhere, usually. Everything here that is served is under 475 calories btw. I almost forgot-- you can make reservations online. Their site is user friendly and reservations can be made quite efficiently. (Word)
(5)Michelle J.
Everything on the menu is 475 calories or less and it all tastes fresh. The menus change with each season, offering ingredients that are in season. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, even if they are not assigned to your table. It was our first visit there and when the chef found out, he came personally to our table and gave us a complimentary shrimp appetizer. The manager came by to see how we were doing. Our waitress was wonderful, although she forgot my husband had mentioned it was my birthday. We weren't expecting anything except for them to sing happy birthday. She advised her manager of it, who then came to our table and apologized. It really was no big deal at all to us, yet they generously compensated us by taking all of the appetizers and desserts off of our bill, plus complimentary group pictures, and a $25 gift card! They totally exceeded our expectations.
(5)Priscila L.
I dined at seasons 52 recently and the food was definitely delicious, and all dishes are under 475 calories. The deserts were simply delectable and served appropriately in small cups, much like shot glasses. The service could use a little primping as the appetizers arrived before the wine and we had to ask for an ice bucket for our wine. Overall though, pretty good!
(4)Eric L.
The restaurant is very nice inside. Quiet, classy! Nice wine selection, and the food was great! Lump crab stuffed mushrooms were amazing. Fillet Mignon and Pork loin cooked to perfection! Mini desserts are the perfect size and complement to the meal. Overall experience... perfect!
(5)Karina D.
Never a disappointment. ) Can't go wrong in the very exclusive and so affordable dining venue. With the countless Seasons 52 Restaraunts opening accross the States, there is no reason not stop by & try low cal dishes... A must!!!
(5)Anthony M.
Menu has great selection of under 500 calorie dishes which is great for the carloie conscious. The cider plank salmon was excellent.
(4)Melissa R.
I love this place! I always sit at the bar and enjoy the music being played by the pianist as well as the great service from Sarah & Jesus! And before I pay my tab I make sure to order one of there several choices of desserts which never disappoint me. :)
(5)Robert D.
As good as it gets!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Flat Breads are all amazing and the goat cheese ravoili is incredible.
(5)Miami Diva D.
excellent food! It's nice to go somewhere and not have to count my calories because they do it for me. The waiter training had drastically improved. That's a big deal for me!
(4)Raul V.
A great place for a date, just make sure you do not share the entree and you have money to spend. The food was amazing but they serve too little to share. A little expensive as well but the service and restaurant it self was great.
(4)John B.
We are now sitting at the bar at Seasons 52. The service is great the food........not so hot. We both had the Mediterranean special fish. Tasteless snapper served with roughly 10 miniature shrimp on a bed of arugula and tabbouleh we asked for salt and pepper hot flakes anything to give this over done tasteless fish some energy some taste..... Something, anything. Seasons 52 is one of my favorites. Stay away from the specials until they find a new chef. Chef special is not.....
(1)Danielle D.
The atmosphere and ambiance of Seasons 52 was great, cozy feeling yet upscale. I always appreciate a place that has lower calorie options, especially one that has a whole menu full. Not a whole lot to choose from if you're a vegetarian (a plate that will fill you up anyway). I ordered the spinach and raspberry salad (small plate-not available as an entree) and it was very good. I also had a side of the corn on the cob - delicious and very well done where it didn't stick in your teeth. I am not impressed with the service. We had a table of 8 and you could just tell by our waitress' expressions she was overwhelmed and/or just annoyed to be working with a larger group (even though we made no extra/out of the ordinary requests). She didn't even bother to fill up anyone's waters or drinks. She just dropped off the check and bounced out of there. I always drink at least 2 glasses of water for dinner so I was feeling very thirsty and had to ask someone else. I would have expected better service out of this restaurant.
(3)Annette A.
This place is amazing! Ambiance is great! Food is outstanding everytime I go!
(5)Tough C.
I love Seasons 52 in Fort Lauderdale, when I visited this location in Coral Gables my meal was disappointing. The flatbreads were good, but my main course cold, and tasteless. It made me not want to go back to Seasons 52, and that's a shame, because I was a fan for a long time.
(2)David L.
Not many restaurants like this, great location, great food, service and ambiance. Lets just start out with everything on the menu is less than 475 calories but sure does not taste that way. Menu is seasonal, hence "Seasons" 52. I have ate her numerous times at both the regular dining room and at a private chef's tasting table and menu. This is one of my go-to spots in Miami. I never feel guilty after leaving here, always full like my eating mission was accomplished but never overly stuffed that I need to unbuckle my belt and I love to eat. They feature a nice open kitchen so you know what is happening in the kitchen which for me is a major bonus. I recommend any of the flat bread pizzas for the appetizers they are out of this world ( I usually order 1 or 2 to take home after my meal.) Basically anything on the menu is going to be excellent, good wine list (most wines are sustainable). Make sure you do not leave without getting the shot glass sized desserts, the waiter/waitress comes to your table with over a dozen desserts all in shot glasses (less than 475 calories) all are exquisite. Overall great pick with plenty of options for the people who are conscious about what they are actually putting into their body.

Parking in the Gables on the weekend is always an issue. The interior was well designed and the decor was elegant. The wait staff was on top of the organic theme and noted that all entrees were less than 475 calories. Appetizers: The chicken stuffed Poblano pepper arrived a little cold but was still good. The crab & shrimp stuffed mushrooms were perfect. I ordered the Tuna med rare and it arrived medium +. The pork tenderloin was also overdone. The Sinskey pinot was not stored on its side and was served warmer than it should have been. They did provide a decanter upon request. The ambiance is excellent and our server was very attentive. The pianist playing pop tunes was a nice touch. Might be back.
(3)Vicki G.
Had chance to re-view Seasons last night and will take back the "not impressed." Had superb service from Kat and tried fabulous new bites personally brought out by Mark (Exec Chef)! Nice craft beer selection and delicious dessert. Ran a little late and staff was very accommodating.
(3)Julie G.
This is one of my favorite places to eat in Miami! All the dishes are super tasty, fresh and under 475 calories! It does't get any better than that. There's also a piano player that sings and plays piano at the bar, which makes for a great ambiance. Who does't love live music? The service is consistently good, the drinks are yummy, and the food never disappoints. They also change the menu according to the season, so there's always new items to try. I love the bbq chicken salad, and the flatbreads! You have to try a flatbread if you go! I also recommend that you try the Avaleda Vino Vherde, it's a white wine with a hint of sparkle/bubble, it's delicious!
(5)Wendy H.
You know, nothing was terrible but nothing was great. We won't be back because the prices really don't go with the so-so food. I'm a really small eater and even for me the portions were tiny. Sorry guys...your money is better spent somewhere else.
(2)Yvette G.
Holy mother of flatbreads!! FINALLY checked this place out after months of wanting to go and it definitely did NOT disappoint. The decor is warm and cozy with a fire in the foyer and great lighting throughout. Service was impeccable, the two times we were there we were seated promptly and waited on extremely quickly. Drinks and water were out in no time. Our waiter(s) were very knowledgeable regarding the menu as well as the extensive wine list. Being a HUGE wino, I love the fact that there are some obscure wines there. I had the opportunity to try out a couple of new reds based on waiter recommendations and was very impressed. We had the steak and crimini mushroom flatbread for appetizer as well as the chili and OMG they were amazing. This coming from a NON mushroom lover. It was so good that I ordered a second one for lunch the next day. On one occasion I had a pork chop over sweet potato mash that was out of control and the other day a mahi, also outstanding. Dessert was pecan pie on one day and key lime the other. Both were the right portion to satisfy my sweet tooth without making me feel like a fat ass. :) Overall I loved Seasons and would definitely return. They run a tight ship and it shows. Wonderful experience both times.
(4)J S.
We just finished dinner. The food was horrible. Tuna tar tare was not fresh and had zero flavor. I ordered the sesame crusted tuna, probably the worst I have ever had. My husband ordered the free range veal porterhouse. It was tough as leather. The flavors were completely mismatched. Lastly, my poor daughter's flat bread was mediocre to say the least. How do you get cheese, bread and marinara wrong? Will definitely not return. Very disappointing!
(1)Mallory S.
I was totally disappointed by this place. Went for "happy hour" with my boyfriend and his family, only to find out that they do not have a happy hour...EVER! It was Friday at 5:00 pm...Happy Hour is an unspoken rule at this time and Season's 52 unfortunately broke that rule! I got a martini with vodka, grapefruit juice, and agave nectar. Although it was delicious, it was $13 which to me, is a bit too much...especially at a Happy Hour time! Here is what was ordered on the table.... Cuban Flatbread - the best thing I ate, pretty good. Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms - gross...the shrimp was like a rubber band! Edemame - average Pork Tenderloin - My boyfriend got this and it was okay...really small portion though for the price BBQ Chicken Salad - Had a bite of this and it was okay...nothing special Also...the atmosphere was extremely boring. I felt like I was on a cruise ship dining room for someones 70th birthday party. The crowd is comprised of those in their 60s and 70s, which for this energetic 24 years old, can get a bit sleepy. The piano player, who plays inside the bar (very weird) gets an A for effort but would have been better to listen to when trying to fall asleep...wah wah wahhh! Overall, I don't think I'll be back. I think it is overpriced for the portion size AND the food is extremely bland and boring. Their whole 500 calories or less on the menu items is a good idea in theory, but the chef needs to find more ways to add flavor and not calories because the food is really lacking in the "MMMMMM" factor we all want on a Friday night out for dinner!

Went with my entire family for my parent's anniversary. Party of 14. The food was delicious and sensible, both in price & nutrition! You would never believe out is healthy for you because it just tastes so good! As you can expect, with such a large party there were a few ordering glitches, but the servers did not try to cover up any problems, but rather they immediately informed us of the problem and comped us quite a few goodies to make up for the 5 minute delay in receiving entrees! I can't wait to return in a smaller party!

My flatbread was a good size and very tasty but the service was poor. I asked for garlic and never received it and we had to go to the bar for refills on our soda. It an average restaurant with average food and poor service which isn't justified since it wasn't busy for lunch.

We came to eat next door at Red Koi and could hear a piano playing from our table with great music. We decided to stop by and found a fantastic bar with a revolving piano. The pianist new many songs. Unfortunately he told us that this will be his last week playing there as they will be turning it into a "trendier/hip bar with house music" (his words).

Seasons 52 is a great place to have a drink, meet people and have a relaxing evening with background music and nice ambiance...for dinner? Well, don't go too hungry, even though the food is tasty and delicious, the portions are very small. Our group was starving, thank goodness we started with different types of appetizers (loved the flat breads), so by the time our small portion arrived, it was ok. Although I think my husband left hungry, but he is a big eater... ; - /

We planned a celebratory dinner with another couple and picked Seasons 52 on a friend's recommendation. I looked at the menu online ( hi, I'm Type A ) and was debating between the cedar plank salmon or the filet mignon. We arrived a little early for our reservation and were promptly sat in a nice booth in the corner. I was delighted to learn it was the first day of Miami Spice month (months?) and both the salmon AND steak were on the special menu. Our server was attentive, went into detail about the regular menu and the specials and barely gave the Miami spice menu a nod. (I've heard terrible things about Miami spice but I was pleasantly surprised this time around.) For $39 I got the appetizer, salad, entree, and two small desserts. You really can't go wrong with that. Although I did the math and I probably only saved $10. If it hadn't been Miami spice, I would have still ordered a salad with my entree, probably not a appetizer so honestly it's up to how big of an appetite you've worked up. I got the chicken pesto flatbread- pretty average, tasty nonetheless. The spinach salad was fresh, light, and filling. I went for the filet mignon. I ordered medium but came out more well than medium, still ate it, still tasted good, but would have preferred a juicier steak tbh. The desserts were good, mostly cream or mouse topped with cocoa, chocolate or some sugary, fluffy substance. Everyone else ordered off of the regular menu, everything looked delicious, smelled delicious, and the conversation pretty much ceased after our food came out. That's always a good sign.

I had heard awesome reviews about Seasons 52. A group of friends invited us to dinner and this is the place they chose. The decor is impecable, I was a little scared because I thought it would be expensive. For my surprise, the prices were reasonable. I decided to split a rack of lamb with the hubby because it was already 10:30pm. The lamb was perfectly cooked, seared on the outside and juicy on the inside. Next time I go I will eat a whole rack. Mashed potatoes were ok, all the dishes at Seasons 52 are under 475 calories so the mash is not inundated in butter. The veggies were delicious as well. I can't wait to go back to Seasons 52 here in California and try many more of their dishes.
(4)German M.
I have to say Season's 52 was very accommodating in changing the reservation from a group of 4 to 6 a few days before Valentine's Day. Upon arrival we were promptly seated. We tried the steak and blue cheese as well as the cheddar and short rib flat breads and they were delish. You can't go wrong with any of them. I didn't have the mushroom bisque but I heard only great things about the perfectly cooked mushrooms -- so I craved it a little, I'm not gonna lie. For the main course I had the filet mignon which was extremely juicy but not cooked to order. The sides were just as good. The service was very slow and sort of inattentive -- perhaps because we were a group of 6. However, everybody left very satisfied after the small dessert shots.

I have been wanting to eat here for a while, and finally got the opportunity when someone gave me a gift card. We went at lunch time, were seated right away, and our server came right over. Our server, Misael, was EXCELLENT!! Really, really great server! We both started with some delicious tea - with lemonade. SO good. And, we got a tomato/basil flatbread appetizer. That is a MUST. It's very thin and light and delicious. I would go back here just to have it again! I ordered the Vegetarian Tasting (quinoa-citrus salad, soft taco, vegetables, cedar-roasted tofu, tropical salsa). It came with the tofu, quinoa salad (cold), a soft taco with beans, broccoli, corn salad (cold), and some kind of sweet salsa on top of the tofu. Everything was so delicious and flavored perfectly. I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but they drizzled it (lightly) with something, and you could taste that it was grilled - SO good. The tofu was prepared perfectly, and the corn salad was good too. As for the quinoa and corn salad, both are served cold. It is just MY preference for things to be warm or hot - so I didn't care for that aspect of it. But, I don't mean to take anything away from how good it tasted; just not my choice for cold. My friend had a similar veg dish, (Cedar Plank Roasted Tofu choice of asparagus, carrots, broccoli or cremini mushrooms, and roasted crushed potatoes) but her's came with these AMAZING skinny carrots. OMG, they were SO good. My dish was $15.50, and her's was around $12-something. The prices are a tad high, but, I knew that going in. If you are a vegetarian, be sure to ask for the separate vegetarian menu - some of it is the same as the regular, but there is a separate menu - also for vegans. Now, let's talk about the desserts. You MUST order dessert. They are small treats, and are only $3. Each one looked better than the next; we settled on 3: Blueberry/lemon, dark chocolate-something, and, OMG, the peanut butter. You MUST get the peanut butter - soooo good. They were ALL very good - a really nice way to end your meal. The restaurant is clean, and the decor is upscale (but not snooty!) and welcoming. It's a little dim in there, but that was fine. If I had to describe the restaurant, I would just call it a little upscale, with delicious, fresh-tasting, real food. I have read all the reviews and there's something I don't get - others say the portions are small. Both our plates were not small, and we even took some home (and, I'm a big eater!). So, that aspect of the other reviews, I don't agree with. We definitely came away very full from our meal. One thing I do agree with the other reviewers, and that's that it's a bit pricey. I don't love paying that much for a meal, but it was really fresh and good - so I guess you get what you pay for. Again, the service was exemplary! We weren't in a hurry, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We finished our appetizer, then shortly after that, the food came out. It is not a rushed place at all - it's laid back and comfortable. All good! I have nothing bad to say.

I will love giving more stars and I might. Nevertheless, the gentlemen toilets did not had any hand tissue. Having an automatic dispenser will go a long way to make the patrons keeping their hands from flagging the air all around to dry.

The only thing I can really say I like about this place are the flatbreads. Pretty much everything else - all other food, service, prices, portions, etc. seem to be really lacking. I work pretty close to this location and have come here a couple of times, either for meetings with customers or just to get away from the office with some coworkers. The service is consistently, excruciatingly slow. I have the same problem with a handful of places in the gables. I would say 90% of people are sitting down to have lunch during the week on their lunch break. Why do you think it's ok for a meal to take nearly two hours? Today we sat down with six people. Aside from the long wait times for everything, I would say we had 3 plates that still had at least half the food on them by the time the meal was over. That's saying a lot considering how small the portions are. Even those of us who finished our food (myself included) didn't have much to say except that it was "OK". Not really any reason to come back. And even though I felt my food was ok, I found myself with a stomachache not long after. The whole concept of this place is light fare - everything on the menu has 475 calories or less. This is great except a) the food is lacking in flavor b) portions are fairly small and c) they still cost as much as a large plate of full calorie food. I've definitely had better, cheaper healthy food elsewhere.
(2)Jessica G.
Great wine and service! Chilean Sea Bass is great!
(4)Freya P.
Great atmosphere, upscale decor, fresh delicious food yet a bit pricey for just any day casual lunch. Service was good, waiter was knowledgeable about menu items. Took two of my colleagues for Birthday lunch and we all left satisfied and happy. The lump crab wedge salad was (still is lol) mouthwatering. Definitely recommend for any special occasion.
(4)Nicolette R.
Really versatile menu! I love that they put all of the calories on the menu too and have tons of low calories options. The lighting is very dim inside, though and it can take a while for the server to come check on the table. Overall good food and great atmosphere.
(3)Emily R.
The restaurant is clean and dark and a little noisy. The server was friendly and attentive. The salad with chicken was very fresh and flavorful. The rotisserie chicken was well seasoned and had nice caramelization on the skin. The maple glaze was delicious. The mashed potatoes needed some seasoning.
(3)R H.
Went for last weekend of summer lunch menu and Miami spice. Food selection was ample and generous in size. I had the corn soup, burger, tots and key lime pie. Service here is always on point. Great ambiance and tasty food!
(5)Alexandra L.
The Quick: Very trendy and romantic restaurant (all locations), great food and fun concept, all for under 475 calories per dish. Great chain that doesn't feel like a chain. The Details: The concept is unique and refreshing, they have four different main menus, one for each season, then they have different specials each week of the year... hence the 52, Seasons 52. I love that every time you go there's something new on the menu to be tried and devoured. They are also known for their extensive wine list, from average wines to an extremely high price point. They really do have something to fit everyone's budget. It is a very sexy and appealing restaurant, perfect for a date or even for group. It's also located on a great block where you can stroll around and window shop, or sit outside under the strings of lights and people watch. Every time I've gone I've tried something different, as the menu changes each week. Overall, every flatbread we have tried has been absolutely delicious. Very flavorful and crispy. The scallops were amazing, and the desserts are always the perfect portion of sweetness, served in big shot glasses. Just keep in mind since each dish has to be in the specified calorie range, they are normal human sized portions... So you'll want an appetizer to share. The only thing I didn't love was the duck lettuce wrap tacos (pictured). It was good but it honestly would have been better on a crispy panini with jam. I should have splurged for the duck sandwich since each dish is still under 475 calories anyway. The Damage: A little pricey, since you have to get a flatbread/ appetizer to split (they're the best part!) We went for lunch with 5 people and spent $125 + tip for 5 entrees, 2 flatbreads, and one soup. There wasn't a lunch menu though, so we ordered regular priced entrees. It wouldn't have been much more expensive for dinner, so it's more reasonable for dinner.
(4)Karelis S.
I absolutely loved my experience last night. The service was good, the ambiance was warm and perfect for unwinding. I ordered the Maui Tuna Crunch salad, which was delightful. The combination of fruits and vegetables was so refreshing yet flavorful, and I like the texture the nuts added to the salad. I also tried a slice of the must have flat breads and it was like a little piece of cheesy heaven in my mouth. Best of all the menu overall seems pretty healthy yet delicious and included the amount of calories in each dish. This was perfect for my situation since I happen to be on a diet which involves counting calories.
(5)Carol M.
This is a nice place to come for dinner or happy hour. It is located on Miracle Mile and the restaurant itself is nicely decorated. One of the things I like the most is the bar area, they have somebody playing the piano in the evenings. The music is loud enough that you can hear it but also low enough that you can hear each other's conversations. The thing about this place is that meals are under 475 calories, the plates are delicious but also have the right portion so you can eat guilt-free.
(4)Fernanda U.
Very good, I ordered the lamb chops and they were really good, drink menu was exellent

Outstanding Pork Tenderloin and great Oak-Grilled Salmon, great choice for dining in Coral Gables.

Coral Gables is full of great quality restaurants. Therefore, the Yelpies event could have not been in a better location to experience a great dish after the event. Jessica and I are trying to eat healthier since we are on the working out and cross-fit fix. Therefore with all meals under 500 calories we were immediately drawn to Seasons 52. Upon arrival there was not wait time and we were immediately seated. The server was outstanding. She had a full knowledge of the menu and what the specials were for the day. In addition, she was able to describe the dishes on the menu to the exact detail. Jessica went with the Roasted Chicken and I went with the Corn Risotto and Scallops. In addition, we went with the bacon and blue cheese flatbread and white bean chicken chili. The flatbread was very good! Crispy on the bottom yet soft on the top, the bacon and blue cheese was not over powering but just right to make the dish come together. Topped with arugula on top, it was a very good appetizer if your looking for something light and not to heavy. The chili was darn good as well, the chicken was and white bean paired very well together and again a light appetizer if your not looking for something to fill you up before you entree. The Roasted chicken was very flavorful and quite chunky lots of meat in one small chicken I thought to myself. It had the right combination of species and seasoning. The vegetables especially the tomatoes were sweet and tangy and as always the balsamic pairs very well with the tomatoes. The Corn Risotto was spectacular! The texture was just right! The Scallops were cooked to perfection as well. It didn't have the sandy flavor that other restaurants have or that squishy bland flavor. These were grilled just right where the texture of the scallop and flavor were exactly how they needed to be. Very delicious dish the combination of the seafood and risotto is one of my parings there is in dining. I capped it off with a doppio expresso and the night could not have ended better. Comparing Seasons 52 to other restaurant's I can see how there dishes are under 500 calories. They don't cook with lots of sodium or other spices or ingredients that add inches to your waste, so the normal flavor that you would have on some of there dishes compared to other restaurants is lacking, but that's the cost of healthy clean eating. Nevertheless, I understand the philosophy and concept and the food taste great for the calories your consuming. Great Work !
(5)Jazmin R.
Food is excellent, the menu states how many calories each dish has, cocktails are amazing- my favorite is the dirty martini- extra dirty with the blue cheese stuffed olives! The best part would be the dessert selection, make sure you try the carrot cake and pecan pie!! Service is great, regardless of group size. They also have private rooms for events!
(5)Olga P.
Good ambiance. Low lighting. Nice bar. Good food. Good for groups also, there's a big private room. Good wine selection. Location is in the heart of Ciral Gables on Miracle Mile.

Seasons 52 is always a safe bet for reasonably priced, light and veg friendly fare. Such a chick place. Had the most perfect lunch on the Coral Gables restaurant week fix price menu. My waiter was great and timed each course just right. Started with the roasted tomato flat bread. Crispy, thin crust, non-greasy, golden brown, tossed with just the right amount of finely chopped fresh basil. Loved it. The crunchy tuna salad was solid. Tuna just barely seared, thinly sliced and a great quality dark red piece of "meat". I loved that they grilled the pineapple and mango before tossing them into the greens. My orange quinoa salad should have been called a quinoa barley salad, as it was 50/50. Barley is not the right choice for this dish as it is too starchy and made for a strange mealy texture. I did like the tiny dices of apple in the salad but it needed more citrus flavor. Of course, the mini dessert shots are irresistible and the most genius invention ever. You get so many different layers of flavor and texture in that tiny glass, without hating yourself afterwards. Now, I am a fan of big desserts, even shamefully oversized ones, but this way you get to sample two or even three if you're like me and can't just pick one. The chocolate s'mores dessert is a must try. Rich dark chocolate mousse topped with crumbled graham crackers and a marshmallow. The only problem I had was that my tongue isn't long enough to lick the shot glass. The pecan pie shot is a lot sweeter. Vanilla custard topped with crunchy pecan pie filling and whipped cream, yummers. All of that for less than $20 makes me very happy.
(5)Tanya Q.
Great food, ambiance, and service! The chicken pesto flatbread was delicious. The Miami spice menu was a pretty good deal. Overall very happy with my experience at the restaurant.
(5)Cheri M.
The desserts are cute and taste fine. However - service was soooo slow around 4pm. Unacceptable. Seems like the decor is made for an older men's club. Reminds me of Ruby Tuesdays. Prices are reasonable except for their cocktails. Those are more pricey.
(3)Claudia A.
Updating my review. Food quality is going up. The food is tasting delicious. I had the tuna crunch and it was so tasty. Flatbreads are always A+ and the desserts. I love me some pecan mini indulgence
(4)Janae L.
I really love this place, honestly don't have anything negative to say. I ordered the tuna salad (can't recall the official name) and one of their flatbreads. The portions are fairly large on the salad which is nice for a change. The staff are very friendly and patient. I was there with an old friend and we were literally the last to leave. No rush at all, the waiter picked up on the fact that no, we weren't ready to order and didn't hassle us every 5 minutes. Also, not to mention, the calories are right there! So it makes healthy eating much easier.
(5)Diner M.
I have been here many times and never disappointed. The service is always attentive and the menu changes with the season. We had wild salmon which was delicious and filet mignon which was perfectly cooked. And the small dessert idea is brilliant. A bit of sweet after the meal.
(4)Liz L.
I love it here. One of my favorite chain restaurants. There is a piano player, great wine selections, and a very pleasant staff. Its definitely a nice place for lunch or dinner. With a setting that is warm (their fire pit in the winter rocks), sophisticated, and intimate, and a menu offering a variety of fresh and yummy options that change every season (how cool) and are under 475 calories- what isn't there to love? Of course if you eat an appetizer, soup, an entree, and dessert, its not under 475... but you still would've enjoyed quality food and not feel uncomfortably overstuffed after 3 courses like you may feel at other restaurants where its greasy and the portions are unrealistic. Though I have taken one of my friends here and she was still hungry after dinner. So the portions here are not large, but for me, personally, I can share a flatbread and an appetizer, finish an entree, and have a dessert and am full and satisfied. So... Flatbreads are a must and they are all good! ..All of them. Shrimp cavatappi shrimp pasta, their grilled scallops, rainbow trout, and filet mignon are delicious entree options. I think in the winter they have venison...i thought I wouldn't like "gamey"meat but its pretty good :) Its kind of funny, usually after dinner, the server will bring you the tray of desserts without even asking if you want it. They think they're slick...But I end up with dessert every time haha. These mini indulgences as they are small and just the right amount of dessert (supposedly...) are amazing!!! My favorites are the Chocolate peanut butter torte and the pecan pie with vanilla bean mousse. Perfect ending to the meal ;)
(5)Sherilyn W.
The music and noise level is gentle and compliments the delicious, healthy, and light dishes. Happy hour includes delightful cocktails and small plates. Inside is comfortable, and staff are friendly and courteous. And the Strawberry Basil Infusion cocktail is to die for!

If you are planning to go to this restaurant, please be sure to be an anorexic 15 year old white girl or make a pit stop at the nearest fast food joint before, during, and after you make your order. You'll likely still leave there wishing for more substance (or anything at all). The portions were so small I found myself wishing the waiter would fall face first into the candle so I could take a bite off this freshly grilled churrasco and avoid certain death by seasonal starvation. I understand the plates are marketed as small, and under 500 calories, but next time I think I'll stick to making a peanut butter sandwich. It is more filling and many times cheaper. To keep the rating fair and balanced I feel obligated to make at least one good comment about the restaurant and it is that the water there was plentiful (and more filling than the food.)
(2)Cristina B.
Food tasted great and natural. Portions were on the small side and the menu items were rather pricey especially the drinks. The variety on the menu is great but if your looking to spend less than 20 dollars a plate you will feel limited. Either way, Seasons 52 may not give you the most bang for your buck but the quality is consistent and superb.
(4)Sam Z.
Great spot!!.... me and my gf went there for dinner tonight and it was amazing. Fresh food and beautiful decor. The tomato avocado salad was out of this world and the scallops with corn risotto was even better. Def will be coming back soon!

We came for lunch, This restaurant is very classy. Lots of neat wood and stone walls. High ceilings with exposed beams. A main dining area partially separated from the large bar with its dining area. Racks of wine bottles above the bar and along a wall. Cushioned seating. A decent selection of wines, domestic and imported, in several varietals. Pop tunes pumped in, volume low enough to be enjoyable as background music. Soft lighting all around from shaded lamps hanging from the ceiling, perched on ledges, mounted on the walls. Refreshing chilled air from an air conditioning system able to cool the voluminous interior. In sum, a relaxing and inviting atmosphere without annoying harsh lighting or loud music. We started with one of the Summer menu items, a nice long lobster flat bread with tomatoes, veggies sprinkled in a light lemon sauce . It was delicious, with a lovely confluence of flavors and textures. Nice amounts of lobster in each bite Then my wife had an entrée, the rack of lamb medium, with roasted potatoes and grilled asparagus. She loved it and I did too as I stole some from her plate.It was very flavorful and not too gamy which is awesome for my taste. My entree was the wild salmon which was cooked to perfection with potatoes and a mix of grilled vegetables. Our friend Bill, my wife's father figure ordered the branzino which was beautifully deboned in front of us and sprinckled with a very thin lemon/lime sauce accompanied with potatoes and broccoli. Absolutely delicious. Karen picked our wine which one bottle apparently wasn't enough, which she was right and apparently that is too often. We had a great choice for Pinot Grigio, only a three year old but a light floral and full bodied wine, extremely enjoyable (Conté Brandolini) for desert Bill wanted to have our server just leave the entire tray and walk away. Very tempting but we felt bad for our arteries and our weak hearts. I had the Amaretto cheese cake, she had the carrot cake and Bill had this Chocolate volcanic looking thing. All very delicious and very unique A memorable dining experience and a must repeat. There wouldn't be a full dining experience with a cafecito, so we experience our culinary adventure with a cafe latte, and espresso and of course my lovely cappuccino.

Went to Seasons 52 during Coral Gables Restaurant Week and eating here was the best decision! The food was great from beginning to end. Hands down the BEST restaurant in Coral Gables!
(5)Lam P.
Went here for my birthday with a friend and it was great!! Super nice ambience with a great selection of food, cocktails and desserts (all under 475 calories - big plus!). I recommend: - Lump Crab, Roasted Shrimp & Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms - Cedar-Plank Roasted Salmon - Hawaiian Pineapple Cosmopolitan - The desserts!! They came in tiny little cute cups and I wanted to try them all! But I didn't want to be such a fatty. So my friend and I got the Key Lime, Smores, and Carrot Cake (complimentary for our birthdays). I am usually not a Key Lime person b/c it's too tart, but OMGOSH...this is a must try! It was delicious!! The other two were great too. I'm glad I had a second stomach for dessert :) My friend's Shrimp Cavatappi Pasta was just OK, I don't think he liked it that much.

Oh what a night! Our Valentine's night started with a bang. Literally. As we valet parked our car and headed towards the restaurant, we heard a car crash and turned to realize that it was our car that had hit another. The valet guy had backed in to oncoming traffic without a second glance. As my husband dealt with calling the police, I went in to Seasons to let them know that we would obviously be late for our reservation. The hostesses expressed extreme surprise and sympathy and graciously held our reservation while we dealt with the valet and the police. Fast forward an hour and we were finally seated. I can honestly say that this was one of our best dining experiences ever. Every employee from our server, Misael, to Chef Matt, to the manager, Fernando, did everything in their power to make up for our disastrous valet experience. I'll add here that the valet is operated by a separate company and has no affiliation with the restaurant, but that didn't matter to the staff at Seasons 52. Complimentary glasses of champagne and our choice of flatbread to start the meal and we instantly forgot about our valet mishap. Our specialty cocktails were delicious. (I fell in love with Makers Mark all over again.) I would have given them the full five stars except hubby had to send his steak back twice. The chef and my hubby did not see eye to eye on the definition of "medium well." But our server was quick to offer complimentary coffee and dessert. Overall, I love the fact that Seasons 52 worked so hard to clear our minds of the valet incident even though it was clearly not their fault. We will definitely be back! And we will definitely not valet park.

We dined at the Seasons 52 in downtown Coral Gables on a busy Thursday night in late March. It's been two years at least since we visited this popular restaurant in the heart of Miracle Mile. Once again we were delighted across the board with menu, service and atmosphere. The menu is somewhat limited, but for a reason. They go seasonal and do not disappoint plus all the main food fare (including the flatbreads) is under 475 calories across the board. The venison chop, an occasional menu treat esp. in winter was rare and seasoned perfectly (lightly so not to interrupt that very unique flavor); the turkey skewer presented chunks of well marinated charcoaled tender meat accompanied by a cucumber vinaigrette salad, the sesame grilled salmon was fresh and cooked perfectly and the chunky lump crab, shrimp and spinach stuffed in mushrooms(served as an appetizer) was crab intense ditto the blackened steak and blue cheese flat bread (also served as an appetizer. We ordered one chefs special mushroom puree soup which was a tad bland but with a surfeit of differing shrooms. The bottle of wine chosen was a perfect companion to all four diners food. The Kettel One vodka martini typically sizable and perfectly mixed. You can also enjoy a glass of cava in the bar area. Happily we had room when the desert tray with its individual parfaits. Our friends tried the mini desserts (which consist of red velvet, pumpkin cinnamon pie, chocolate peanut butter mousse) and they were astonished. Service is seamless. Easy and Attentive. Prices at Seasons 52 belie its upscale atmosphere. Affordable and a wide variety across the menu from $9 to $25. Parking in Coral Gables is always a trial, however there's a sizable municipal lot behind this restaurant and we've always found a spot quickly. Pay kiosks are all around the lot.

Came here on Saturday night for Miami Spice. This place is AMAZEBALLS!!! The only change from the online menu versus the restaurant menu was that the Organic Baby Spinach Salad was included as an additional course meal rather than being an option of the appetizers (additional free food? Don't mind if I do). Also, they have $10 wine flights that you can add to your meal. For an extra $10 per person, you get to sample 3 different types of wine (you have to choose either red or white). Once you select which wine you like, you get a full glass. Oh yeah, we took full advantage of this! Since it was my fiancée and I, we had both appetizers: Roasted Roma Tomato Flatbread and the Blackened Steak and Blue Cheese Flatbread. The Roma was the better choice. We then had our salad which had a tangy vinaigrette dressing, not bad at all. For our entrees, we chose the cedar plank salmon and the oak-grilled filet mignon. Both did not disappoint. I especially loved the detail of including an actual piece of wood plank underneath the salmon to give it an amazing smoke taste. For dessert, we had the mini dessert. They're little shot glasses filled with different types of mini goodness (e.g. key lime pie, peanut butter, s'mores, chocolate, etc). I had the pecan pie and the soon-to-be mrs had to satisfy her craving and ordered the chocolate dessert. Perfect way to end a lovely dinner. One tip: definitely call in advance and make a reservation. It saved us a huge headache from waiting a long time to be seated. Overall we had an excellence experience. Great restaurant, great ambience, friendly service (especially the patient hostess), but most importantly great food!!! Will definitely come back for more!

Short version: Get the apps and dessert, skip the main course. Long version: I enjoyed the dimly lit interior with the faux heavy timber framing, and the black bean chili was as good as Mima's with a subtly spicy kick. This restaurant chain advertises its cuisine as being flavorful yet healthy and the chili appetizer keeps that promise. The presentation was also beautiful. Likewise with the strawberry dessert shot and accompanying balsamic vinegar reduction. It wasn't obnoxiously sweet and let you notice the different flavors. The main course of chicken made me wonder if I momentarily went to a different restaurant and is the reason why I'm taking off a star. While it had enough of a background maple glaze seasoning the presentation on my plate was actually a bit plain. It almost looked like what I would make at home. The accompanying vegetables were fine, fresh and crispy though.

Love the atmosphere and food is amazing, great wine selection and their flatbreads are to die for.

Went there with my wife and a friend. Great service, great food. Lots of interesting and tasty choices on the menu. Nice bar there too. Would definitely go back. Was slammed on a Tuesday night in mid August..the place is doing well.

I have to say after reading all the yelp reviews I had big expectations for this place. I love the idea of only serving things that are in season and the fact that everything was low calorie really enticed me to pick this place for my anniversary. Unfortunately I was extremely underwhelmed. First, for such a busy restaurant there was an extreme lack of seating in the waiting area. I understand that they wanted to maximize their dining space but some outside tables or longer couches would really help. Second, although we explained that we were celebrating a special occasion and didn't mind waiting eventhough we had a reservation we were sat with a private party of 15+ on one side and another birthday party with 8 guest on the other. Our server was obviously overwhelmed and timed our meal terribly. I really can't forgive bad service when the prices are this high. Clearly this restaurant is used to a lot of people so the servers should be used to hanlding a large amount of tables. On to the most important part, the food. I had the honey glazed chicken and it really lacked flavor. The chicken came out dry with over cooked with underseasoned veggies drowned in some type of gravy, and poorly mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had some type of fish which he said had a nice smokey flavor but lacked much else. The highlight of the evening, and really the only bright spot of the night was the dessert. Perfectly sized and nicely prepared with just the right amount of frosting. Interestingly enough desserts are usually the weak point of the meal not the star, but I'm certainly not complaining. All in all I probably wouldn't return or recommend this establishment to anyone. Save yourself the time and effort and find another place to eat.

Easily mine and my boyfriend's FAVORITE place. We always go for the "Flights and Flatbread" special before 6 pm, where you are given a taste of 3 different wines and a flatbread for only 15-20$ a person (depending on which flight of wines you choose). At the end, you get to decide which wine was your favorite and you are served a full glass of that wine. The flatbreads are to die for!! Our favorites are the chicken pesto one and the steak and blue cheese one. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water! Overall, GREAT food, GREAT service, GREAT ambiance. It's a definite MUST TRY.

So today is a special day for my girlfriend and I. I decided to make reservations for this place for tonight at 8. The receptionist was super sweet and took down my information. We showed up thirty minutes early but we were seated immediately. Manny was my waiter and he was sweet. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. They were good but no flavor. My girlfriend ordered the pork tenderloin and asked if the mashed potatoes had the skin on them he answered no but he was wrong. I ordered the cedar plank salmon which was cooked well but my side was just vegetables. I understand the concept of keeping the dinner plates under 452 calories but my food sucked. The food was so unimpressive. I've heard nothing but good things but I hated everything. I was super disappointed. I will not come here again.

I had a really great time here! I got the lobster flat bread and a side of scallops. Really loved the wine selection and the server was probably one of the best I've ever had. Expected to pay much more than what we did. Would absolutely return!
(5)Caroline F.
First time last time Seasons 52 Coral Gables. Great location and nice ambiance. Miguel the server was inexperienced and brought my dinner during appetizers.. Had to return it so that I could wait for the rest of the party to get their food! Wine was ordered (flight wine ) I had to ask for final glass several times before it was brought... Wine glass empty??? it never occurred to him to refill or ask after several visits to table...Soup asparagus was absolutely awful no taste at all!!!! Bland as hospital food is usually... Not even salt and pepper could fix it! We all had the same soup party of 6... We all had the same conclusion.... We had to ask Miguel several times for bread. Flat bread lobster was good but I could get that anywhere nothing to scream about....definitely not Gables caliber .. Completely disappointed!

I have always loved Seasons 52 and have reviewed them before for their impeccable service, healthy food items, and amazing wine list. But I now, yet AGAIN, feel compelled to write a review as this has to do directly with an event that my friend and I attended last night for Coral Gables Restaurant week. Seasons 52 hosted a private wine tasting and flat bread sampling. This was according to the email i received but we were pleasantly surprised to find that is was waaaaaay more than advertised. The private room was "roomy" with plenty of space to walk around and mingle. 3 stations were set up: a red wine sation, a white wine station, and the food station. The food consisted not only of all their delicious flatbreads (they are becoming almost famous for them) but they also allowed us to sample pork tenderloins and spicy chicken skewers that were absolutely delicious. The food kept coming till the last person left! They also brought out a sample of their mini indulgences towards the end which we were not at all expecting. A very sweet ending to a delicious sampling of very. very good food. The wine stations had 3 wines each for you to sample and then have a full pour of your favorite. They were all exceptional and they did a great job of getting wines that would appeal to wine drinkers at any level. Now comes the part where I share what the REAL treat of the night was... THE SERVICE. Katherine was manning the red wine station. There wasn't a single pour that didn't come with an extensive explanation as to how that particular grape is cultivated, what food to pair it with, etc.. she was so knowledgeable, friendly, and really, really helpful. She didn't seem annoyed when people bombarded her with questions. She displayed pure professionalism the entire time. Dawn at the white wine station was just as great. Always smiling and willing to answer any and all questions pertaining to the white wines. Her station was one of the lonlier ones since as you know, everyone loves a good red - but there she was, patiently waiting and very happy that you stopped by. And then there was Enrique.... ooooooh Enrique! He welcomed all the guests to the event and got things started. He made sure that EVERYONE without exception had some food on their plate and when he saw you struggling with an empty plate on one hand and a glass of wine in another, he made sure to take your plate. There were other servers, and of course, they too were great, but these 3 really stood out and in my opinion, are the reason that Seasons 52 has the reputation it has. These young people are service oriented, professional, friendly, accommodating, and in short, embody what I wish every server would. Keep it up guys and GOOD JOB SEASONS 52 for knowing how to host an awesome event and knowing exactly WHO can get it done!

This is one my favorite places to eat. Almost every item it's healthy and has less than 500 cal. The local is spacious and welcoming. Every single time I walk in there's big groups and plenty of family. The staff is excellent. The wine & cocktail selection is big enough. So far the hummus, the play breads from the appetizers are excellent. The soups are delicious I juts tasted the asparagus and it was delicious. All the salads are great, the trout plate, the vegetarian plate and the fish tacos are a no miss. Then comes the dessert part. They present it in shot glasses, so are small enough not to harm much your diet and there's like 8 options. Price point it's on the expensive but your eating healthy side but you won't go bankrupt either. Try it !

Overall, Season's 52 was a solid experience. My husband and I were looking for a vegetarian restaurant (in addition to my gluten and dairy allergies). Their menu was a little bit inefficient since they have separate menus for gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan. It was a bit overwhelming for me since a majority of the gluten-free menu was non-vegetarian. However, our server quickly found someone who could manage it and make recommendations. We ordered the duo hummus for an appetizer, and I found the texture to be a little rough. We had the warm beet salad, which was good and the vegetarian entree which was good as well and the restaurant accommodated my food allergies greatly in this meal. If you go to the restaurant, i would recommend sitting in the main room or room adjoining to the bar. We were put in an add-on room, which was freezing. I complained several times, and 2 other tables near us complained about how cold it was too.
(3)Juan G.
A really nice restaurant on the mile. I come here every occasion and I really like it. Although today I say I the restaurant part I find it even more enjoyable when you go and sit in the bar area, for its much more livelier. On Fridays they have a piano man here and he's great. The food is great and very well done although I find it a bit pricey. For example, they're sushi rolls are almost 11 dollars, and if you're only going for that it would be better to go to Yuga or Su-Shin. All in all this is a nice place to come after work or with friends to enjoy a nice meal.
(5)Elizabeth W.
Really recommend this place if you're looking for a pleasant meal and a comfortable environment... Go for the lobster flatbread or the scallops, which are amazing. I especially like the Miami Crunchy Tuna Salad, also. It's just laid-back, and the atmosphere adds to the experience.
(4)Brian Z.
The food here is excellent. The prices are not bad at all. The food is fresh and the desserts are great. Overall it was an excellent dinner and I would definitely recommend it. We usually go to the one outside Roosevelt Field. It is nice to know that they have this one here when we are visiting Miami.
(5)Lil V.
I gotta say that I am not a fan of chain restaurants but I Love This Place! The desserts are perfect in size and decadent( my fave is the smores!) Service is incredible with all the servers and bartenders being amazing and friendly. I love the flat breads and my husband and I have been slowly trying them all. The entrees are a little pricey but the trick to dining here is to get a couple of their delicious appetizers and maybe share an entree salad ( they are gigantic! Try the salmon one) and if you are still hungry, split an entree. Always try the chef's suggestion. The menu changes according to what's in season and everything is fresh. Lemonade refills are free :)
(5)Alessandra G.
One of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The type of place you know you can count on for consistently great food and service. Love the ambiance of the restaurant as well. And the fact it's healthy is the cherry on top! Recommend the flatbreads, the scallops, and the mahi tuna crunch salad. And for dessert, love the peanut butter!! Though all are amazing.
(5)Brittany B.
Seasons 52 is great for us health conscious folks, as it boasts about its below-475-calorie menu items and oil-controlled entrees. Don't let the "healthy" label fool you though-- everything that I've eaten here has been full of flavor! I also love the fact that the menu changes seasonally. On this particular evening my table began with the Prince Edward Mussels Marinara, which were out of this world. For myself I ordered the mixed greens salad complete with pumpkin seeds (for the fall season :) ) and the Cedar Plank Salmon with broccoli and asparagus. It's normally served with potatoes, but I subbed out that side for double veggies instead. I loved the atmosphere of this location, and it's always great to stroll around Miracle Mile afterwards. Just make sure you make a reservation before you decide to go!
(4)Vanessa J.
I expected a lot from this place hearing about it from fellow coworkers. I have to say I was unimpressed. I ordered The Greek Salad, a steak flatbread and a Shrimp bruschetta, with the exception of the bruschetta, everything else was either dry or bland. Definitely not giving this place a second chance
(1)Ariel M.
Wow....it's all I have to say about this place! I've come here expecting nothing but fresh plates and that's exactly what I got! The meals are well seasoned, tailored to the season and always the right portion.
(5)Mimi A.
Super good food and a great vibe! Went for Mother's Day and had an amazing time!! The servers are great and the drinks are amazing!! We go all the time and will continue to go!!
(5)Nardri F.
I Love this place. Its ambiance is very upscale for a chain restaurant and the food never disappoints take advantage of there changing seasonal menus and dinner is not complete without a mini indulgences. I go with my husband for a quite evening or with the kids for a family dinner. The restaurant is huge noise level average so you really can't disturb anyone. They have live piano music which is usually very good. Cons: Parking in the Gables sucks especially on weekends. The restaurant wait can be up to a hour
(5)Iliana R.
I've always said, "if old people fine there, it's good" for some reason there were lots of seniors and my theory was proven yet again. Everything was amazing! This place has such a cozy atmosphere despite being a pretty big restaurant. There was live piano and singing which was very nice. I had the humus with peppers and with mint. It was really good! My daughter ordered a butter nut squash soup which was ah mazing and non- creamy which I love! I do not like being served a big bowl or cup of heavy cream. I tried the rainbow trout which was surprising to me that they had because I have only seen this in Utah and Cali. It was butterflied open and grilled to perfection. It was so so good! My son had bone in lamb covered in Kona coffee and although it's a little hard to get the meat off the bones it's very tasty and well prepared. My daughter opted for the chicken skewers appetizer with apple slaw and it was divine ! They have an great selection on the menu sure to please everyone, even gluten free ! The deserts.., oh the deserts!! At only $2.50 each these little heaven in a cup deserts are just insanely good! You will know what I mean! They are not over bearing and just enough to get your sweet fix and just decadent! Our server was great and super attentive. I'm coming back here more often it's a great place! Oh and it will not break the bank! Considering the quality it's very reasonably priced!

I had always wanted to try this place. I have heard nothing but greatness about this place from my friends. I was very disappointed. We arrived on a Saturday for our 445 reservation. I made one because i was expecting the place to be packed. It was not. It was very empty. Well...i mean it is an odd time to eat. We were seated right away where we requested. We wanted something outside since the day was so nice. It was about 10 minutes before the waiter approached our table. We gave him our appetizer order (the vegan hummus) and our drink order. he came back with my drink about 10 minutes later. we gave him our dinner order since we were ready. About 15 minutes after that, we got our appetizer. it was good. the waiter checked in with us 25 minutes later and took our empty appetizer plate. the hummus was really good. He told us that our food would be out soon. I was getting restless. it had already been a long time. the food came. we ordered the maple glazed chicken which came with vegetables and mashed potatoes, the vegan vegetables and pasta and the final plate was the shrimp cavatappi pasta. none of us liked our dishes. my plate, the maple glazed chicken, was very dry. i hated the taste of the glaze. the potatoes were actually good. the glaze was so overpowering that i couldn't discern the mishmash veggies on my plate. Oh! We had also ordered the crushed mashed potatoes. they were terrible and dry. we ate begrudgingly. the waiter never came by to check on us. our plates were taken away by the hostess. we waited to get our bill from our waiter. we didnt want dessert bc it would have taken forever to get there. we just wanted to get out of there. we were there for a total of 2 hours and a half. i could have driven to orlando and had something from epcot's food and wine festival for that amount of time. Service and food were terrible. Prices are like cheesecake factory prices. Never coming back.

We have been going to Seasons 52 for dinner for years now, and the food/service was so good, that we decided to have our wedding rehearsal dinner here, too! In short, it was absolutely incredible. Our main contact person was Denise, and she was so nice, helpful and responsive. We blocked off a few of the private rooms for the party, which was about 60 people, and everyone had an incredible time. Most importantly, the food was PERFECT! Everyone raved about it - from the salmon, shrimp, pasta, and steak, to the vegetables and flatbread and DESSERT! We will certainly be coming back for dinners and other events. Thank you so much for everything!
(5)Juan S.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The only thing holding it back from a 5th star is the food is good but doesn't have a wow factor. I had the rainbow trout...no complaints at all, but it just didn't wow me. I guess that's because this is more of a health conscious restaurant, which is actually fine by me. Btw, most portions are smaller but the trout is one of the biggest items on the menu if you're looking for a filling meal.
(4)Carolina S.
The moment you step into the restaurant you feel like you're in NY, in a warm, and inviting environment. The hostess is friendly and tall! The waiter Jesus was pleasant and attentive. I ordered several diffrerent dishes (arugula salad, hummus, roma tomato flatbread, duck and fish tacos). The food was very fresh and I'd recommend everything I ordered minus the korean duck lettuce wraps. It was a little bland. Overall the restaurant was very clean and I agree with all the other yelpers-- flatbread was delicious!!
(5)Sandra O.
Went for a birthday dinner and they definitely give a nice touch to the birthday person with a happy birthday card. The ambiance is very nice and all of their food taste really fresh. We started with a flatbread of short ribs and cheddar and it has really good flavors that you would normally not think to put together but very tasty. I had the lump crab wedge for dinner and it was very light and refreshing. I also tasted the Sea Scallops with risotto and it is worth ordering!
(4)Mauricio V.
Came to the bar for a drink and order a couple of Belvenie 12yrs on the rocks. When we ordered the check each scotch was priced at $31... What a ripoff. The server should have told us it was priced that high. Very disrespectful.
(1)selma w.
We came just for coffee and desert. Took forever to seat us. Finally they found an empty table by bar( among the many empty ones) . We were seated at a booth and had a man waiter that was basically careless and never bother to take care of us. We told him we came for coffee and desert and he never brought us the desert tray. Also never offered us water . It was very hard to get his attention the whole time we were there even to ask for the check. I know food is nice but this waiter needs to go.
(3)Lyndenise B.
Excellent food and excellent service! I went during Coral a Gables Rest week and it was great! They don't rush you, the ambiance is great and the food is consistently amazing!
(5)MICHELLE C.
Healthy food that taste this darn good, oh yes I loved this place. I had this place bookmarked but was not rushing to get there figuring hubby would never get full on 475 calories of food. The hostess was very nice and took us to a very comfy booth. Our server greeted us quickly. Really liked the soft wood tones throughout, classy touch. At one point in between dinner I hear music I look up and see a guy playing the spinning piano and singing. Super cool. We started with chicken pesto flatbread and oh was it delicious. The ingredients are so fresh and so was the chicken. I ordered a bottle of Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc which paired perfectly with everything we ate. Great wine from Marlborough, New Zealand. If you choose to order this please appreciate the beautiful bouquet it has, amazing. Sniff & Savor. I ordered the Corvina because the waiter said it was fanatasic. A smooth curry sauce over the top that I did enjoy even though I am not a big fan of curry. The Corvina was light very fresh and had great flavor. Hubby ordered the seared Tuna, wow this was by far the very best seared Tuna I have ever had. Then the adorable little deserts for $2.50, oh geez rocky road was amazing! Service was excellent, loved the ambience, older crowd for sure even a few cougars haning out at the bar ha ha. This place would be a perfect five star for me if they had a better red wine selection especially selections of more Pinot Noir, Burgundy's and Viognier. For the caliber of the service, food and decor step up the wine list would be my suggestion. Can not wait to go back with my daughter she will love it.
(4)Sarah S.
I love this place. The whole concept of freshness based on what's in season is truly inspiring. The whole set up, the lighting, decorations, the ambience... It all sets the theme that's for sure. We had a fairly large group, and shared the artichoke flatbread. Great little appetizer for everyone to share although we had to get two. I chose to order the filet mignon with mashed sweet potato and asparagus. I'm telling you.. This was the best cut of meat I have had in a long time. Seasoned with a mushroom sauce, it was not over buttered or over salted like many other places prepare steak, I literally used a butter knife to cut my steak! I also tried the scallops which were delicious as well. For desert they brought out a large tray with many different little cups for us to choose. Although a great idea....I honestly find this unsanitary given they take back the ones you didn't choose and re-serve them to someone else. I enjoyed the smores and the carrot cake. The service was ok.. Although he disappeared for quite some time in the middle of our meal and we needed another bottle of wine, it's important to make sure everyone has a drink when their meal comes. Besides that we had a great time and left feeling content!
(4)Michelle G.
I met with my cousin for dinner to catch up and talk some business. Maria, our server, was GREAT ! Congrats on her intuition and quick handling of the fact the wine my cousin was drinking had run out. She quickly bought him an alternate. She gave us space to talk and only came by to check precisely when needed. Kudos to her. The food, the menu, the attention is perfect !!
(4)Zack S.
Any place that offers delicious entrees, ALL at 475 calories or less, plus top notch drinks, an elegant and comfortable ambiance, plus a piano player at the bar is going to get top ratings in my book. This is my favorite place to come in the Gables. The drinks are mixed perfectly. The food is amazing (Rainbow Trout on the menu right now is incredible). And I keep coming back to the pianist at the bar. It just adds a nice touch to the place. Strongly recommend for dates, drinks after work, business dinners.
(5)Karla V.
With a healthy menu, appropriate portions, and delicious tiny desserts, this restaurant is a go too when in the Gables. It has a large seating area and full bar, so waiting for a table is typically not an issue. While its a chain, the food still stands apart and most dishes, if not all, are under 500 calories. What a bonus! The food is simple and clean and the ambiance is still relatively intimate, while the restaurant is large. I have been for lunch and dinner both, each meal pretty good with the flatbreads and steamed veggies as the highlights. Give this place a chance when in a group and looking for a lighter meal accompanied by a delicious glass of wine!
(3)Gabriel T.
Why not five stars? The place was nearly empty, I had to wait for a table for around 15 minutes, which makes no sense at all when there were perfectly placed tables all around. The lobster flat bread I ordered was cold although it tasted good. And the wild salmon was half the size it should be. It's probably that way so they can keep the calories at the top for the menu. Two stars for: Danielle, the extremely kind waitress and The s'mores dessert paired with the Rioja wine.
(2)Dennis H.
Made a Yelp booking for Saturday night. Seated after 5 minutes in a quiet supine room which was perfect for a business and social dinner. We have dined at two other cities in the chain and they are consistent in service and food quality. Have to give them 5 stars!
(5)Cyndi B.
Last night was my third time visiting and I continue to see myself visiting this wonderful restaurant! It's currently Miami Spice and last night was day one. As always, the service was spectacular and the vibe in the restaurant reminds you of home- super relaxing yet thrilling (because of the food and drinks). The appetizers were delicious but the gem was the filet mignon! I had it well done but it was still juicy and full of flavor- thus the chefs there know how to properly cook meat. And the deserts- wow!! What an amazing experience and I highly recommend this restaurant :)
(5)Charles S.
10 years ago this would have been a five star restaurant. In 2013 it is A-Ok, not because the restaurant isn't good but because there are so many good restaurants in Miami and across the country. The space is lovely, the music nice. The food was pleasant and enjoyable but not a knockout. The service was fine -- except for the server dumping the salad in my dinner companion's lap. The server apologized. The waiter came over and apologized. Then manager came over and apologized and offered free dessert. No thanks. Bottom line is that two weeks later, I really can't remember what I ate.
(3)Laure M.
Great place to have healthy and tasty food. We shared the lobster and mozzarella flatbread to start with and it was very good. The dough is very thin and crunchy. The spicy sauce on top was really good. I wish they would have more lobster (shredded). Then we each had the cedar plank salmon with vegetables and crushed potato (one tiny potato). The salmon was very well cooked, served on the piece of smoked wood, with a mini container of grilled veggies (young carrots, green asparagus, orange beets and the crushed potato). On the side, there is a light creamy dill sauce. It was very good. For dessert, they offer a selection of 10 mini desserts (verrine - served in a shot glass). My friend picked the chocolate smores and it looked delicious. Very healthy lunch with good service. It's a great place!
(4)Lindley L.
Best place on The Mile. Amazing flatbreads, fresh salads, super quick service and great ambiance. Love this place for amazing cocktails after shopping or a sophisticated sit- down with friends. Menu changes but everything is fresh and delicious. Their salads are seriously to die for, anything with arugula is amazing. Yum!
(4)Punya N.
Although I've heard and seen Seasons 52 restaurants in other cities, I'd never visited one before. So when I came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pretty impressed right off the bat with the wide variety of vegetarian options -- and the presence of a separate vegetarian menu altogether. The ambiance in the restaurant is very relaxed, with mood lighting and a huge space to work with. The decor is very nice and this could easily be a place for a classy date. I came for lunch with friends and we had the tomato flatbread (pretty good, not overly greasy, good level of basil but I wasn't over the top about this dish), the vegetarian tasting menu (quinoa-citrus salad, soft taco (black beans, roasted peppers, feta cheese, mole poblano, tomatillo salsa), grilled vegetables, cedar-roasted tofu, tropical salsa). I loved everything on the tasting menu except for the cedar roasted tofu and the soft taco (it was good, but not great). Finally, we finished with 3 of their dessert shooters. We split the Belgian Chocolate S'more, Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Honey, and the Pecan Pie with Vanilla Bean Mousse. All were equally rich, flavorful, and balanced. And the portion sizes are just right so you are satisfied with the amount of sweet indulgence without feeling sick from too much sugar. They have many more flavors which I definitely want to go back and try! All in all, I think this was a great find for American food in Miami, and bonus points for vegan and vegetarian options which are few and far between down here.
(4)Evelyn L.
I really enjoyed the food. We got a waiter that was being trained & he was very nice & helpful. He was patient with us & quick. The food tasted very fresh. I will definitely be coming back. I really enjoyed the concept.
(5)Robert F.
Overall great experience. Considering what I've read about small portions and everything being under 500 calories, I thought maybe I would've been unsatisfied. But no. It was just right. The Cedar plank salmon is fantastic! Goat cheese ravioli was excellent!! My girlfriends lamb was slightly overcooked but overall the food was very good and very flavorful. The place has a warm feel to it and just a great dining experience. The only downside if there truly was one, was that our server seemed a bit rushed with us. Saturday night and they were very busy.
(4)Henry A.
NPS = 8 Not really a fan of chain restaurants, but this one was great! It was my first time visiting a Seasons 52 and I had an amazing experience. If you pass by this Seasons 52, definitely ask for Daniella! She was the best. I definitely recommend the lobster flat bread (however, since the menu changes so often it might not be on the menu) as an appetizer. The beet salad was fantastic as an appetizer as well. The balsamic vinaigrette it comes with is to die for. The roasted chicken was great and I recommend having it with glass of Mer Soleil chardonnay. Great! For dessert, their selection of shot-glass desserts is great. You get your taste of sweet minus the momentous calories. I tried the chocolate peanut-butter one and my girlfriend had the carrot cake one. Both were wonderful. If in the Coral Gables area, give this place a try.
(4)Emma F.
My mom and I decided to come here for late lunch today . I picked the place based on the concept of having the menu selection with less than 450 calories per plate . I think this is an awesome way to catch people's attention since now days we are all worried about healthy eating and calories lol we ordered the raspberry and the mint lemonade . Super refreshing . Totally recommend it . Both detoxifying drinks in there own way . Chicken Flat bread was delish . I loved the fact that they cook the salmon in a piece of wood , this way it absorbs that woody taste while been cooked in the oven . My favorite parts of restaurants is of course dessert . I appreciate that they were shots not a huge piece . This way you can try them all :)
(4)Ashley R.
I actually really like coming to seasons 52. The only place ill sit here is the bar. The dining room is just eerily quiet for my taste, but the bar is always pleasant. The piano player behind the bar adds a lot to the ambiance- though I must say I much prefer the younger player on Mondays and Tuesdays to the older man that plays there the other days of the week. My bartenders have always been quick and attentive, readily offering their suggestions and pouring nice cocktails. The small shaker on the side with nearly a full martini glass of the cocktail extra is a real treat. The food doesn't daaaazzzle me here, but for a restaurant I've been frequenting more often- I don't want a huge heavy meal and a high check. The portions are perfect. I recently had the steak salad, chicken skewers, and pork tenderloin. I would order each one again. The chicken skewer app was surprisingly large and the price point was totally agreeable. The beets with wasabi dip were seriously underwhelming though. They could benefit from an orange or honey glaze- and I'm a beet lover! I cannot come here without ordering one of their small delicious desserts. I love the rocky road and carrot cake. Overall seasons 52 consistently delivers.
(4)Donna P.
Love this place. It's warm and comfy and a little spiffy too. The menu changes for the season.love the flat breads!
(4)Kristine A.
The service was good, food was good too. Overall I have no complaints but to be honest the food just didn't wow me. Like, I'm not crazy about it, I don't crave it. I just feel like there are other places that will give you better food for your money.
(3)James W.
Its a great restaurant in the Gables if you want to get dinner or lunch. Food is fantastic and all the servers I have ever had have been great! Parking can be a little hard depending what time you go but there is a valet.
(4)Alexis S.
Food is amazing and healthy. Ambience is welcoming & warm. The service was spectacular. Will be returning very soon.
(5)Rachel T.
I recently hosted an event here and had an outstanding experience. Forget about everything else, the wait staff was AMAZING. They were so attentive and present at the event and they all made me feel so comfortable knowing all of our guests were in good hands. Thank you everyone who helped out!

Went with some friends. It was my first time but definitely not my last. Everything was delish I had the scallops risotto with caramelized Brussels sprouts, lobster flat bread, and rasp cannoli shot for dessert. Did I mention TWO hawian pineapple cosmos mmmmm. Our waiter was awesome and mad us laugh the whole time. We went at 4:30 no wait at all. Over all a FABULOUS experience

Seasons 52 holds a special place in my yelp-heart. Very private elegant and tasty dinner restaurant in the heart of coral gables (Miracle Mile). They have seasonal menus, meaning the food is always fresh and authentic. I would definitely recommend anyone to try to flatbreads, so delicious. Service is fine although on busy nights you may have to wait 15 min before your table is ready. The Jazz piano guy by the bar is a great addition. Would recommend.

This place was amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious. The freshness of the food was defiantly a delight. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The server knew the menu and the specials very well. That must be hard since the menu changes weekly. Josh our server was very helpful when it came to picking out a sweet red wine. I will defiantly be back and also trying the location when I'm in NY as well.

The restaurant is nice. The food is good. But the only bad thing was the service. The server was nice and seemed concerned but it took 40 minutes to get him to come back and ask for desert. Once he was gone he was gone. We were not in a hurry so it wasn't a big deal but it was a little annoying to just seat there and wait around. The food was good, we did however just order appetizers and drink drinks. The flatbreads are great and warm caprese salad is awesome. The entrees did not seem impressive so we just ordered a fee appetizers. I think we made the right choice. Anyhow, this place is great for drinks and appetizers... I wouldn't do full on dinner here though.

My wife and I have been here numerous times before. We enjoy the ambiance, and the great service. I usually get the sea scallops which are usually amazing (and their best dish in my opinion) but today I wanted to try something different so I got the venison. I was willing to pay extra because I realize it comes from New Zealand, but I was disappointed in the dish. First the portions were ridiculously small (I get the low calorie part of the menu but you should price the item based on value). It was a SINGLE solitary chop with very little meat on it. To make matters worse it lacked flavor. The garnish, sweet potato mashed, also lacked flavor. How hard is it to screw up one of the most delicious meats and sweet potatoes? The lamb chop looked like a larger quantity of food, obviously I'm not sure how it tastes but it looked ok.

Excellent service, nice wine list, relaxing atmosphere, great staff, delicious meals.
(5)Stacey M.
Excellent service and food. The flat bread, salmon and scallops are perfection. Good drinks as well. Yes!
(5)Eric T.
What a wonderful surprise ! Outstanding! My favorite in coral gables so far. A pleasure from beginning to end.
(5)Karisma R.
I came here for a work dinner; they had good service. The food was not as good as I had expected given all the hype, but it was not bad either. It was just okay. Yet, I can't point to something that would've made it extraordinary....
(4)Alissa W.
This is not an update for seasons I have not yet gone back to this location. Upon reading my review the GM contacted me and resolved the issue. Amazing customer service! Looking forward to heading back to update my food regarding the food.
(5)Private A.
Celebrated a birthday there in a group. The food was great, the drinks mixed by a master, and the service was great....until we got the check and decided to stick around and chat since it seemed to be a slow night and we had just dropped almost Five hundred dollars to include a 20% tip. Our waiter "Michael" inexplicably disengaged never asking if anyone in a group of 8 wanted more water. After yakking away for over an hour we all left parched and thirsty, hence 3 stars instead of 5.
(3)Andrea M.
Great food, service leaves a bit wanting the wait staff don't check in on the table enough but they did have a wrap to lend my mom since she was cold. The quail, scallops and lamb are awesome
(3)Lillian B.
I have been to Seasons 52 several times and I'm never disappointed. All of it is fabulous food, service and ambience. Looking forward to going back soon.
(5)Johanna R.
Had the flatbread as an appetizer which was good. Had the vegetarian platter as my entree and only enjoyed one item on it: the black bean taco. Everything else was very simple
(3)SnapHappy P.
Highly recommend you check out this restaurant. A group of us went there yesterday for a friend's birthday lunch and the experience was great! In addition to fresh, delicious food, they took a group shot of us, printed the photo and gave it to us in a nice folder, as a memento, plus the birthday celebrant received a card. They REALLY care about their service. And with large groups, they give you an itemizes tab, with each person's individual orders separated as a subtotal, making it much easier to collect from each diner. If you have a group of friends or colleagues, you MUST check Seasons 52 out!
(5)Farris J.
be sure you verify the amount you signed for on your credit card as i have had to dispute fraudulent charges twice by disgruntled employees who are slick! other than that, the atmosphere, food, and pricing are excellent.
(1)Alberto C.
Delicious and the service was spot on. Each plate under 475 calories, but perfectly proportioned. Price for a nice lunch is really good. Had the spicy chicken stuffed pepper and it was amazing (this may change since the menu is always changing). I am definitely going back, and soon.
(5)Angel R.
I'm a HUGE fan. Have been here for dinner about four times already. The flatbreads are amazing. Mediterranean Shrimp Salad was awesome. Their scallops...to die for! I mostly come back for the Lake Sonoma Cabernet and entertainment of John Shack, piano player extraordinaire. Skip even making a reservation, and scope out the bar area, which is first come first serve and even has booth tables. Try to out-drink Sophia, and enjoy some eye-candy with Dan's hotness. Overall, great ambiance, great food, great people serving it...it doesn't get any better than this, people!
(5)Jay S.
I agree with another poster here, the food is very healthy but if your hungry this is not the place to eat. Very small portions, but if your on a diet it works. If your hungry goto Houstons. Oh ya "killer service" ......lol
(3)Stephanie S.
I wrote a review a long time ago, describing Seasons 52 as the best birthday experience I could have ever asked for. However, that was until we celebrated my husband's birthday there this past Friday night...this was even better!!! We sat in the piano bar/lounge since it's a more laid back atmosphere over there and we love live music. We had John the piano player last time on my birthday, and we were so excited to see him again! We COULD NOT believe that he instantly remembered our wedding song. As soon as we said hi to him, he greeted us back with the song and I almost cried! Everyone loved his energy and music selection! At the end of the night, he came around the bar and said hello to us, remembering our names! Unbelievable! Sarah and Jesus were so quick with the drinks and the food was delicious as always. The whole evening couldn't have been more perfect for my husband's birthday. Thank you again Seasons 52...nothing short of great. Stephanie
(5)V C.
I went Seasons 52 with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The flatbread was really good...especially the flatbread one. But the most amazing of all that we tried was the vegetable platter. The flavor combinations were great.. I would definitely recommend the place especially to people looking for good vegetarian food.
(4)DAVID B.
I just have to say that this place is amazing and I have been taking all my friends there. Sometimes we have to wait a little to long, but it is all worthy. The best addition for downtown Coral Gables.
(5)Ginger D.
Love the ambiance...the wide walk in doorway and the FLATBREAD! Crunchy just like I like it...And this may sound strange but I like the feel of the tables...smooth...and the just right height for dining pleasure...not too low with the chin on the table syndrome...seats comfy and even the barstools amenable for foot comfort...service wonderful...Houston's look out!
(5)M M.
This place is just perfect! great food, healthy, nice environment and the service is out of this world.
(5)Eileen A.
Great prices and great service. The wine list is pretty decent and nicely priced. The food is healthy and pretty tasty. The goat cheese ravioli was my favorite item on the menu. Check out their desserts, they are pretty good.
(4)T C.
This was an enjoyable dining experience. The concept of the resturant is that everything on the menu is supposed to be under 475 calories and the menu changes according to the seasons. Ordered all of the flatbreads in the appetizer section and also the raw tuna, I was quite satisfied with the taste of the food for being supposedly healthy. For my main entree, I ordered the Mayan Cobia, fish native to the Florida waters which was very tasty. Fish was light and flaky with good flavors. I didnt understand teh srilachi in the sauce though but it was good. For desert, i had the Pumpkin Pie with Gingerbread crust. Our party also ordered a red wine which was delicious. Funny since we're drinking CA wine in FL. I would definetly recommend this place. The only thing I would advise is to find parking somewhere as we ended up spending over $8.00 just on the meters outside.
(4)Jon W.
Good value for money. Excellent service. Flat bread appetizer hit the spot. Salmon was prepared just right. Side vegtables very tasty. Nice concept on having mini-desserts and worth the $2.50 charge. Suggest making a reservation on weekend.
(5)Trina R.
Oh how I was hoping I was going to like this place. While searching for a restaurant on yelp, I stumbled upon seasons 52 and noticed it had just opened. We decided to try it out. The restaurant looks beautiful inside and out, including a beautiful bar. The service is also pretty attentive. However, if you are looking for great food, this is not the place. After looking at the menu, neither of us found anything that really called our attention. Then we noticed it, the small disclaimer at the top of the menu. "all items on menu are under 500 calories." Here we go. We ordered a chicken flatbread which was probably the highlight of the meal. We then ordered the stuffed mushrooms as I am usually a huge fan of these, but I was very disappointed. Not only were they were tasteless, but they were burning in temperature. Then for the main course I really couldn't decide but opted for the scallops. The scallops themselves were ok, however the asparagus and the round pasta were not tasty. The spicy chile relleno was not bad but overall I would not go back to this place unless for only drinks. In my opinion, the menu should have more options even if it needs to stay on the healthy side.
(2)Jessica C.
Went for lunch with my sister and 2 year old son. The restaurant is nice but I was a little disappointed when I was told that there were no more high chairs, as they do not have that many. We were given a booth to somehow compensate for the high chair situation. When I asked for a children's menu or at least children options, they did not have any. The food was good but not very child friendly. I would rather have lunch at Houston's.
(3)Judy D.
We went to this place two weeks ago and it was really good from start to finish. My only complaint is that it's VERY loud. We were in a booth and I can only imagine how it would have been out at an open table. Our waiter, Marco, was excellent and very professional. He kept his eye on us without hovering, knew everything about everything on the menu and was efficient. The kitchen was pushing food out quickly so we got our entree before finishing the salads but it wasn't terrible. My choice was the pork tenderloin, which was perfectly cooked and moist. The flatbreads were delish, the wine list was good and the little desserts are the perfect end to a good meal. This past weekend, we went to a Seasons 52 in Central Florida and had another excellent experience. I ordered the salmon this time and it was so mild and tasty. My dinner mates had trout and said it was perfectly cooked. Though the place was packed, it was less noisy as the piano person's music was toned down. We'll definitely return to any Seasons 52 anywhere.
(4)Paul S.
I was happy to hear that Seasons 52 was opening in Coral Gables and looked forward to going there. I love their concept; however, I don't know if the execution always meets my expectations. I have been there for lunch twice and both times, the service was very good and attentive. Atmosphere is muted, with lots of dark wood. The bar seemed to be popular with tables outside. Where I think this restaurant misses getting 5 stars is the food; it's good but not great. I had the vegetable soup that was ok, but the bowl was only half-full; I suppose it's to keep the calorie count down. Other lunch items I had were the chicken caesar sandwich on pita with a side salad and the barbeque chicken salad. In both cases the chicken was very tender and of high quality. Salads were nice with high quality ingredients. But there was nothing special or savory about the dishes and their flavors. Good, but not great. Coffee and desserts were very good.
(3)Morgan M.
I used to love this place... went all the time to hear the live music.. now it's gone. Without it... it's just another bar
(2)Jessica C.
I have been to Season's 52 quite a few times in the past, but never this location. It worked out quite well because we had just attended Yelp's 10 year anniversary event at the Coral Gables Museum just a block up. We chose to dine here because both Erick and I are on a 30 day clean eating plan and as delectable as the items looked at our event, I just couldn't eat any of it. :-( We walked in and were able to be seated right away. Our server greeted us and took our drink orders. For the appetizer Erick ordered a cup of the white chicken chili soup and the bacon and blue cheese flat bread. Our appetizers arrived fairly quickly. I tasted a bite if Erick's soup and it was very good! I only had one bite because I have to watch my sodium intake during these 30 days. I sampled a bite of the flatbread and it was quite delicious and the flavors blended very well together. For my entree I was between the roasted chicken or the scallops with corn risotto. Guilted by my conscience and carb intake, I went with the chicken. The portion was very generous and had a lot of meat. It was accompanied by tomatoes and bits of ciabatta crouton. The croutons and tomatoes were drizzled with balsamic vinegar which is diet approved. The chicken was so meaty and full of so much flavor and very generously portioned and accompanied with the sides it made for the perfect healthy meal. We had to skip on the desserts for obvious reasons, but the s'mores dessert shot was calling my name and I made a mental note for my next visit.
(5)Marilyn C.
Hosted our office holiday lunch on 12/18 for the fourth year in a row. This year the group was bigger (22) and the service was even better. Everything was on point, no delays, no hiccups. Food and drinks were served quickly and on point...our staff was happy and so was I. The names of our waitresses slip my mind but they deserve kudos and recognition. Thank u to Seasons 52 and we will see u next year again.
(5)Carl-Frederick F.
Overall not bad....I had the ahà tuna, pretty good. The mer soleil wine was divine best wine I had in my life and I have had quite a few.the seabass was sadly disappointing... My expectations were so high but crush.over cooked way to citrusy for my taste,but the wine made up for half of the meal.I would recommend this probably only for their drinks and appetizers
(3)Cynthia G.
Look, we really like this place especially for Friday night happy hour. One of the things I like the most is the piano player. Live entertainment. It's really awesome. I just learned tonight this is being eliminated. I am really disappointed. It is a distinguishing feature of this place. It really adds atmosphere. Darden, please don't do this.
(3)Cristina G.
I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was excellent. I read many great reviews about the food being low in calories so decided to try it. We had the ravioli appetizer which was very delicious. My entree was the steak flatbread, a must try. For my dessert I had the mini s'mores cake super yummy. Everything was great but the best part is leaving dinner content but without leaving super stuffed. It's the perfect meal. A must try in the mile!
(5)Elizabeth Y.
Service: Amazing service. Our waiter was first very understanding when we decided to change tables. He then gave us excellent recommendations and really knew the menu as well. He was very attentive, but not on the verge of annoying. It was my friend's birthday, and they brought out the cake with candles lit without me having to ask them to. When only one of our friends ordered the curry soup, he gave the rest of us samples to try. I cannot recommend this guy enough! Drinks: If you buy their cocktails they will serve it to you with the shaker, so really you're paying for 2 drinks worth. I got their pomegranate margarita which I would recommend to those who like sweet yet strong drinks. Food: First, we got their signature tomato flatbread. One is enough to feed 4 people and it alone can serve as a meal. I also got the scallops with asparagus. Delicious. Dessert: You have a choice to pick one of their mini indulgences and for the b-day girl a choice of 2. They were all very delicious but I would recommend the pecan and mocha chocolate. I will definitely be coming back to this place. This place offers 4 seasonal varieties and changes their menu each week. In addition, everything is under 475 calories! Can't wait to see what else they offer.
(5)Chris K.
Excellent customer service. Amanda our server and her manager did a great job! Delicious food and drinks too.
(5)Terence C.
Excellent experience. Food was terrific! Experience was good and Matt was an very attentive server. Would recommend to everyone.
(5)Sil F.
Excellent food and service. Been there for a business lunch several times. My clients love it as well. And taken friends too! Very good overall
(5)Sergio T.
Visited the Miami location and can honestly say, this is the type of restaurant I was looking for, Tyler was our waiter he was very attentive and had a great sense of humor! He recommended a few items and they were all delicious! We did the wine flights and they were all really good, I preferred the Oaky Merlot, along with the roasted tomatoes flat bread, filet mignon, and triple chocolate rocky road and mocha desserts! I am hoping the location here in LA is just as good, can't wait to go back!
(5)Keith M.
Need reservations but the food, drinks and service are excellent! The trout was delicious and moist, the carrots and potatoes were not over-cooked and mushy, the crab lump salad has just the right mix of salad dressing and ingredients, and the mini-desserts are delicious yet just the right size. Service: excellent (a rarity for large Miami restaurants) ... attentive, cordial, eager to be of service! A definite "repeat" over and over ...
(5)Elizabeth P.
It was a long overdue girls' night out. We started with the artichoke and goat cheese flatbread and a couple bottles of wine sitting at the outside sidewalk tables. After an hour of catching up on the "cheez" and a little people watching, we moved inside for dinner. I had the salmon with a sweet glaze and it was simply amazing. Then we shared the mini desserts. Awesome food and excellent service! Plus so much better when shared with good friends, lots of laughter and too much wine. :)
(5)Cathy W.
This location is excellent! My husband and I recently celebrated our tenth anniversary here. The food and service were perfect. Also, when I made a reservation, they asked if this was for a special occasion and I told them. The restaurant treated us to glasses of champagne and free dessert! Talk about knowing how to make an impression so customers come back -- my husband is already asking when we should go again! If you can, ask for Shawn as your waiter. He has that perfect balance of being attentive without being in our faces!
(5)David D.
Diana and everyone at Seasons 52 really go out of their way to serve you. I am a repeat customer and neighbor that will continue to visit.

YOU MUST GO TO SEASONS 52 FOR LUNCH DURING CORAL GABLES RESTAURANT WEEK (ENDS ON JUNE 30TH) My boyfriend and I had the best lunch at Seasons 52 today. We visited Seasons 52 for Coral Gables Restaurant Week. During Coral Gables Restaurant Week (which ends on June 30th), they have a three course menu for a really cheap price. $15 for selected appetizer, lunch, and dessert!!! I ordered Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread for an appetizer, Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno for a main course, and Mini Indulgences for a dessert. My boyfriend ordered Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli, Blackened Fish Tacos, and Mini Indulgences. We assumed the portions would be smaller since the price was really cheap so we added Ahi Tuna Tartare as another appetizer. It turned out that the size of the portions remained the same (which is the perfect size - not too big, not too smalll - each dish contains under 500 calories). Ahi Tuna Tartare was AMAZING. I generally don't like raw fish but I had to try this one because of the way they displayed the food, so beautiful. It's a little pricey - $12 for 3 tunas. But that probably means they used real fish instead of fake ones like a lot of cheap sushi restaurants do. Seasons 52's flatbreads are amazing - Ripe Plum Tomato was perfect for appetizer. It looks like it's big because it's so wide but the crust is so thin that you don't get too full unlike a lot of restaurants who offer so much food/calories for appetizer. Our main course - Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno and Blackened Fish Tacos were great too. Blackened Fish Tacos was nothing special, just like any other taco fish you see at any other restaurants, but healthier at Seasons 52. Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno was so amazing! YUM YUM YUM!! Like the name says it's spicy chicken chile relleno, but inside of a green pepper with mozzarella cheese on top! The size was perfect too! Everything fit inside of a green pepper. Seasons 52's famous dessert - mini indulgences - never fail to disappoint me. With 8 different kinds of desserts, you can pick the flavor you like the most. I had always liked Seasons 52 but today, this restaurant became my favorite. Healthy, a lot of choices, and cheap price!! Can it get any better? I calculated the calories of all the foods I consumed at Seasons 52 today. It turns out to be around 1070 calories - which is pretty good for a three course menu!!

Did the Chef's Tasting Table Menu. The Ft. Lauderdale location does not do it so we had to drive south for it. There is a separate semi private room they hold it in. (SEE PHOTOS) As expected, it was a wonderful experience. The rate was $79.00 per person (without the wine pairing). We brought our own wine($14.00 corkage fee) The meal is set up with an amuse bouche to start which is brought out by the chef and where he introduces himself. It is then followed by appetizers and 4 courses after that ending with their mini indulgences desserts. This was our lineup: AMUSE BOUCHE: seared scallop ceviche (refreshing and delicious) APPETIZERS:chipotle shrimp flatbread/artichoke & goat cheese flatbread/ seared tuna with ginger relish. The tuna was perfect and it had a side of cucumber salad and wasabi which was really good! Both flatbreads were good but the shrimp one was a tad better. FIRST COURSE:cedar plank roasted salmon & scallops. Probably the only big fault of the night was that the salmon was a bit overcooked but it was all very good. SECOND COURSE: organic arugula beet salad with goat cheese, cranberries and pistachios.They forgot the pistachios but otherwise was fantastic. THIRD COURSE: Sonoma goat cheese ravioli. Completely different than any I have ever had. It was very light with a tomato broth under it all. FOURTH COURSE: Mesquite grilled surf & turf. Lamb t bone and artichoke stuffed shrimp with yukon gold truffle mashed and red wine sauce. Divine. Too bad I was already SO full to finish it. They then brought out a tower of their mini desserts. We started to pick from them but we were told the entire thing was for us. Wow. It was about 3-4 per person. I have never had more than 2 during a visit. When we whined (I blame it on the a-a-a-a-alcohol) about the healthy looking fruit one he happily obliged to bring out other ones to replace it with. They even whipped up new pecan ones for us. Needless to say, service was top notch the entire night! And we are a tough crowd to please. Well, at least, I am. Our waiter and servers were all great and added to the great experience. If I had to change anything at all it would be the background music. Apparently all Seasons 52's have a singer/pianist and although they have all been good, they have not been good enough to last the 4 hours we were there (or have been in the past). Only acceptable in small doses.It becomes a bit much and starts to become annoying. We only realized towards the last 1/2 hour that there is a volume control in the semi private room which we could have shut off. Oh well, live and learn. It happened recently while dining in the Ft. Lauderdale location as well. I initially it must have been kareoke. Ooops. Luckily we were so loud ourselves that we were mostly distracted from it. Overall a wonderful experience I would love to have once again. I think it was priced well and worth every penny. Great job Seasons 52!
(5)Mike A.
I thought the food was yummy. Well presented and very well portion. I had the lobster bisque and OMG extremely well made. My girlfriend had the oak grilled filet. I had the seasonal grilled salmon. Both very tasty very well made :) the dessert presentation was excellent and we tried 4 of them. My favorite by far was the mochiato dessert. The service was great. The servers are trained well and serve the food with care and never crossed there arms or bodies between me and my girlfriend. The price point was good as well... Her and I paid 120 with tip and we had drinks as well. The atmosphere was buzzing and jumping for a Thursday the room had great energy. Go there and go often it was excellent
(5)Hernani A.
Came with my friends for miami spice. The menu was pretty good and the service as well. Is a little pricey and the typicall gables place full of "executives" which makes it boring for me.... But for a businness meeting or a special ocassion i guess is ok.
(3)Sheila G.
Good food and great atmosphere! Dessert shots are delicious!!!! The key lime pie shot is to die for! Flavorful and made just right!
(4)Lissette C.
I was quite disappointed on the quality of the food. The flat breads were ok and taco awful so don't get them!... The staff was nice but food not so much I wouldn't recommend going here
(2)Libby J.
Seasons 52 is an amazing restaurant! Let me convince you to go there..now! 1. The atmosphere: The second you walk into Seasons you are immediately relaxed by the very cool looking fireplace by the door. The booths are so comfortable and you can really make it a dress up night or come casual. You will fit in either way! It is also fun to sit near the kitchen and you can see them cooking some of the food. 2. Service: The service is excellent. The waitstaff is always very friendly and helpful. The wait for food can sometimes be a bit long as it is crowded, but it is so delicious it is worth it! 3. Menu: They have an absolutely creative menu that offers superb options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The menu changes based on the seasons so I feel like there is always something added when I visit. 4. Food: The vegetable soup is so fresh tasting with tons of hearty vegetables. The salads are on the smaller side, but are full of the best seasonal ingredients. I have never had more perfectly grilled and seasoned veggies in my life! The flatbreads are super tasty and not greasy at all. They are light and tasty. You can't forget the desserts! Oh my goodness! The desserts are in these little cups so you can give everything a taste. They are all so delicious that I can never choose just one! Between mousses, lime cake, and lots of chocolate, everyone will find something he or she truly enjoys! The lime has the perfect amount of tangy and sweetness, the mousse is perfectly fluffy, and the chocolate is delectable and creamy. This restaurant is the perfect combination of healthy, delicious, and fresh. It is surely a top Miami restaurant choice!
(5)Maria A.
Great food for a great price. Had the pesto chicken flatbread, cheese ravioli, and a key lime pie mini for dessert. Delicious! Only thing I would change would be the raspberry lemonade that I had. It was not very good. Other than that, great food and the service was great also.
(4)R M.
I went to Seasons 52 after it was recommended to me by several people. Arrived 10/9/14 with a colleague about 7:30pm and was promptly seated. We ordered the Quail and the pork loin entrees. The quail was so tough you could have throw it through a bank window and then used the pork loin to pry the drawer open to steal the tellers money. Terrible! On the good side, the service was exceptional, it's too bad we went there for the food. Perhaps the chefs were just having a bad night. Never again!
(1)Ariadna P.
The food was delicious ! I had a filet mignon with mashed potatoes, asparagus glazed with a red wine sauce. The desserts come in small glasses, they all look delicious! And they also have the option of fresh fruit as a dessert. I was not too happy with the service though, the waitress was very helpful with the menu options but they did not bring us any water and one of our forks had a chunk of food on it which is unacceptable, especially since this restaurant is somewhat pricey. This wasn't enough to say I would never go back, it definitely did not ruin my experience. I loved loved loved the food! So I will definitely be going back! Hopefully soon!!
(4)Michelle F.
Having dinner at Seasons 52 was an absolute delight! Exceptional service from the minute we walked through the door. I made a reservation using "open table" on yelp. I recommend this 100% especially on a busy Friday or Saturday night. The wine selection was great! If you're a fan of Pinot Gris, I suggest "King Estate"-it was amazing. On to the good stuff: FOOD! First off, every item on the menu is under 475 calories! Now don't let that fool you or turn you off, the choices are excellent!!! Recommendations: You mustmustmust have a flatbread. Any type of flatbread. My favorite is the steak, mushroom, spinach, and blue cheese flatbread. If you want something tropical try the ceviche. Shrimp, scallop, coconut, red onion, pineapple, and jalapeño! Oh my! Soo good!! Shrimp with lemon basil sauce and veggies was AMAZING!!!! I will definitely be getting this dish again. Mini indulgences desserts are absolutely amazing. Red velvet was my favorite!!! Great decor, food, drinks, and service! What else can you ask for???
(5)Angela D.
This is by far my favorite restaurant. My hubby and I had a great time. It was the perfect blend between casual and romantic. We had the Cuban Pita and my Hubby had a filet mignon, I had pork and everything was just to die for. We also had a bottle of wine which was delicious! The best part is that if you are on a diet every plate is under 475 calories. Who can beat that. Did I mention how great our waiter was?
(5)Justin H.
Awhile ago I walked by this place while I was on a Random walk and said to myself " this place looks very nice only just walking by. Well two months later I end up Meeting a server there whose name is Sonia. She is a bartender / server. She told me all about this place and really made me want to come and really check it out. So I decided to take the trip to check it out! Have not been disappointed yet. The Tuna & avocado roll was simple but nothing shy of perfect. The flavors, textures, the way the rice was cooked, and the nori paper instead of traditional nori. The sous chef came out and talked to me for a few brief moments. Its been a great lunch experience so far! You watch the servers pass by they are all smiling the line is working fast and communicating like a well run kitchen should. The burger just came to the table. Presentation was very unique, tiered plates. It added a very cool look. Something I might try to replicate at my job. The burger was cooked perfect and tasted amazing! (the buffalo burger) with a side of brussel sprouts, although I like them caramelized, were cooked through but needed just a hint of salt to bring out the flavors in them. All and all it's a great place! Keep up the great work Season!!! I will be back!

I have never left a restaurant in such a foul mood before. Let me start off by saying this is not a review about the food. The food is fine: not crazy great, not awful. The service however? Left the worst taste in my mouth (pun intended). We had reservations for 8:30. We get there at 8:15. No one says: your table is being set, please be patient. And usually when you're 15 minutes early, a well-run restaurant can still seat you. 15 minutes later, I'm dogging the host for seating four tables before us (granted they were there before us) and a table who walked in after us. Finally, PAST our reservation time, a hostess walks up and apologizes for the delay and our table will be ready shortly. And then 20 minutes after we've walked in, we're finally seated next to five empty tables. Thanks a lot Seasons 52. Orders are taken, it's our first time dining here. We get our drinks and lobster flatbread quickly. FYI: that was not enough lobster on a $15 dish. We get a quick howwastheflatbread and we answer with the required fine. And then we don't see our waitress or any food for another hour. ONE HOUR, our dirty app dish still in front of us and empty water (and drink) glasses later, the runner comes with three out of four dishes. I have to not only tell him one of the dishes is wrong (shrimp risotto instead of shrimp pasta), but one of us is missing our dish.. I fear for the runner because I sound like I'm about to rip his head off. After the rest of my party has eaten half of their meal, the waitress finally shows up with my missing entree, mumbles a sorry and then runs off. Ever heard of asking how we're doing? Maybe getting us another drink or refilling our water? Possibly comping us for completely forgetting to include our missing dish? Nope. By the time we finish, we don't even bother with the lauded mini desserts. It takes forever to flag our waitress to get the check (unsurprising), leaving cash because using a card would probably have taken another good half hour. Is hanger clouding my decision? Sadly, no. Let me end by saying, it WAS Christmas Eve. But despite how busy or understaffed you are, management should teach you to check in with your guests with a smile and explanation of the delay (and refill of drinks). The only saving grace about this atrocious service is that the runner stopped by to make sure we received our missing dish; that probably had nothing to do with Seasons 52 management, but just plain ol' good manners.

Not a fan. First of all, we sat at our table for 15-20 minutes before a server came to our table. Before someone even brought over water. No one even took our drink order, i had to finally call someone over to order a bottle of wine. And why have a gluten free menu if your not going to take it seriously. 7 of us went for dinner, 2 of us have to eat gluten free. But when the food came, no one knew which dishes were actually the gluten free ones! Needless to say, I left very sick.... I also thought the salmon i had was mediocre at best. At the end, the server was even rushing us out so they could re-sit the table! -disappointed

My flatbread was a good size and very tasty but the service was poor. I asked for garlic and never received it and we had to go to the bar for refills on our soda. It an average restaurant with average food and poor service which isn't justified since it wasn't busy for lunch.

Since every option on the menu is under 475, I knew coming in that I wasn't going to find anything worthy of a grown man's appetite. I had to settle for a Piedmontese Sirloin Steak. What that translates to is buffalo steak. It's very lean with nothing in the way of fat to help with the flavor profile. It was definitely a stark contrast to my previous night's meal of a bone-in ribeye at Fleming's. But, if you're having dinner with a bunch of your girls, then you are going to love this place! Seriously, how can you go wrong with so many low calorie options? I think I drank more calories here than I ate. For a man, I can't recommend this place to you at all. I'd much rather have a meal at a steakhouse, Hillstone, or even a Cuban restaurant. But if you're with someone that's calorie-conscious and you still want to have a night out at an upscale venue, then I can't think of a better option than Seasons 52. The bar is nicely appointed with a piano player serving as your nightly entertainment and there are half a dozen or so tables on the patio if people watching is your thing. Steak is my thing...

Went last night for a bite with hubby. We decided to sit outside the bar on the sidewalk, it was a bit dark inside for my tastes. Our server, Joel S. Was fantastic, very personable, knowledgeable and thorough. We started with the proscuitto and cheese flatbread, excellent, and the ahi tartar, better than excellent. Then we ordered the scallops with asparagus and risotto and the steak fillet cooked rare+. Both were very tasty and filling. We finished the meal with three of the tasty sampler desserts, the best being the key lime pie. Overall a great dining experience and particularly liked the piano player, he sang well, low key and familiar songs. We will definitely come back next time we visit Miami.

Really great restaurant. This was my first time with my wife and a friend. The atmosphere was very nice, went during lunch (1:45pm). it's pretty big, and it's just a beautiful spot in the middle of Coral Gables Miracle Mile. Our server Andrew was super, he gave us a sample of one of the desserts to try which was very tasty, not filling or too sweet. I had the flatbread pesto chicken, very well cooked and nice presentation (took pictures). Wife had the maple glazed chicken which is a pretty big portion but she liked it. For appetizer we had the chicken skewers which were well cooked, almost fell off the skewer they were so tender and juicy. The lemonade is awesome, handmade, very fresh, again not very sweet. Most lemonades leave me wanting to drink a big cup of water after because of the sugar. Thanks Seasons 52, we will be back :) P.S. The dessert was awesome!
(4)Rachel P.
Had such a great experience last night at Seasons 52 and couldn't wait to YELP about it! Made a reservation on Opentable an hour prior which was very helpful to not have to wait more than 5 min. once we arrived. We sat at the bar and watched the piano player and ordered some delicious martinis. I love the dark chocolate espresso one!! Also, you really get 2 for the price of 1, so don't let the $13 price scare you off. For dinner we tried several different flatbreads, organic salads, corn soup, and the salmon dinner. All were excellent. We can't wait to return!!!
(5)Delia N.
Discovered this place by accident. We have been back multiple times. Love the food. Many healthy options. Flatbreads are wonderful. Good service every time. Great decor. The wood fire grill makes the place smell awesome. Leave room for dessert.
(5)Eli G.
Flat Breads - Good Entrees - Okay Desserts - Great yelp.com/biz_photos/iu0n… Cool concept that everything is under 475 calories. The desserts cheat with their tiny portions.
(3)Calvin C.
I guess its a good thing that everything on their menu is LESS THAN 475 CALORIES. But I found myself leaving there consuming MORE THAN 1400 :( Yelpers recommended the flat bread so I ordered the steak and cremini mushroom and it was good (see uploaded photo). While waiting for my main dish to come out I ended up ordering a second one from their weekly special menu. It was a mushroom, goat cheese with truffle oil and it was amazing (see uploaded photo). My hunger would of been satisfied with both flat bread but my spicy chicken chile relleno came out (see photo uploaded). It gave me a hard look so I had to finish it off :D. The dish was not as good as the flat bread. They have miniature desserts that they brought over but I had to pass on it. Writing this review during lunch hour is making me crave for the flat breads.
(4)Eli S.
Portions are small, super expensive, food tasted like nothing, hostess are rude, this was the only place during the Miracle Mile Carnival not allowing the use of the restrooms now this shows the kind of management they have I will never go here.
(1)Joann C.
So I am not a calorie counter by any means, but this is a great place for those that are. Be warned, just because every dish is less X calories, does not mean you can order twice as many appetizers or desserts as you normally...especially the desserts! (Desserts come in tiny little cups and are oh so pretty and sound so delicious. And they are! But every time I go me and my friends just say.."1 of each", which really defeats the purpose of seasons 52! hahaha flat bread is highly recommended. Pretty yummy and one of the highlights of the meal. There is something to be said about a dish that has an extra X calories because they used more butter or cream, but considering the health factor, the dishes are pretty good! Additionally, the restaurant itself looks very nice and upscale, without influencing the prices!

I booked for a graduation dinner here since it's one of the few kitchens that opened until 11PM. My party was running late. I called ahead and they were gracious enough to wait for us! Our waiters were pleasant and chatty. We were seated quickly and well taken care of! The food came out in a timely manner. My party ordered almost everything on the menu, so I can confidently say we enjoyed our meals! Flatbreads were a nice and light starter. Loved the veal and scallops. The filet was excellent. And of course...dessert was amazing! Even my grandparents (traditional Chinese folk) were complimented their cooking and portions. Of all restaurants, Seasons 52 does an excellent job in getting all three courses in! I am definitely looking forward to having dinner here again! Thank you Seasons 52 for taking such good care of us!
(4)Beatriz A.
This place leaves a lot to be desired. The hostess sat us by a large party with screaming children even though there were many other tables available. The restaurant wasn't very busy but the waiter took over 10 minutes to come out and ask for our drink order. I ordered my steak medium but it came out well done. I don't expect the service nor the food to be 5 stars at this place but I expected better than what we received. I will not be returning.
(2)Frank T.
Enjoyed the filet with mashed potatoes and spinach. Washed it with a Pomegranate Margarita Martini! Can't wait to go back...
(5)Jordan N.
I'm undecided on whether this place should be two or three stars - between "Meh and A-OK." I liked the service and the concept. The vibe is nice in a formal-casual chain-restaurant type of way. But I can't really give this place a higher rating since the food is on the bland side and the portions are on the small side for the price. And as for the food, the only thing I could really recommend to date after coming here two times is the flatbread that is served here. And maybe also the drinks. For other things, I'd much rather walk to its less-healthy, but more scrumptious tasting sister restaurant, Houston's/Hillstone, farther down the Mile. I can't say I'd return, but if someone I know wants to be back here, I wouldn't throw a fit.
(3)Steven R.
Health conscious? Then why or why did I have gastric distress both visits to this way over priced place? Sat down with a date, ordered a shrimp cocktail, awful small, warm shrimp and poor service to boot. I have tried the bar several times, I do like the piano player of Wednesdays and Thursdays, but now I am tiered of getting ripped off with the wine offerings and pricing. Imagine, they tout their fine wine offerings, by their resident expert, bull, he is no expert except in fattening the bottom line, not many, if any decent wines. As you can read, I am not impressed with other reviews, just telling it like is. You would do yourself a favor by going a little ways further to Prime, just down the road.
(2)Eugenio R.
One of my favorite places in Miami. I go almost every week and service is always great (very rare in Miami even in the best restaurants). Food is very well thought and the mini indulgences are a perfect way to end a meal. At the bar, Jesus and Sarah always makes us feel at home - The piano is just a big plus for me.
(5)Gaby S.
I came here for lunch last week and i absolutely loved my experience here. I have been anticipating trying this place and finally had the opportunity to come during my lunch break and try it. Let me go on by saying that at any time of day this place is always packed. we thought we were not going to be able to get a seat quickly but the hostess was very accomodating and got us to a table quickly. The waitress was very friendly and explained everything in the menu very well. We opted to get the flatbreads which were both very good. I got the steak and mushroom one which was great, although i would have liked for it to have some sauce or something on it for a little extra flavor. The mini desserts are also really good if you want something sweet but dont want to over indulge yourself. I havent been here for dinner, but when i do ill make sure to update my review.

Since I was in town, my boyfriend's parents decided to have another date night with us (dinner) before i go home. Yay! Actually it was not too bad. Atmosphere is okay, good for having a romantic dinner. Got to sit near the kitchen and was watching the cooks prepare the food. Cool. Menu is not much, one page including the specials, the back are alcoholic drinks. Price on the other hand is a little steep but it is semi fancy restaurant so it is a given. The food is pretty good. Smaller servings (depending on meals) but gives you a full tummy. Our server was semi attentive but also forgetful at most times. She brought 2 iced teas instead of one and forgot the water. She said she was going to bring it but never did until asked twice. She also had to ask twice (make sure) on what we ordered. The lump of crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms appetizer was definitely great. Perfect for a couple pairing or if you're really hungry just for you. Shrimp ceviche (i believe) just like the stuffed mushrooms it was in small quantity. Anyway the bf and his parents seem to enjoy it but it wasn't the greatest ceviche out there. The main entree grilled chicken with tamarind sauce, broccoli, and mashed sweet potato (mine) was very good. It was the perfect proportion. I actually thought I wouldn't love the sweet mashed potatoes, wrong. Rainbow trout with potato wedges and carrots (bf/ his mom) was excellent as well. As soon as I sampled some from my bf I found a new fish to eat and it was not overly seasoned either. Salad & Chili (his dad) was just a simple salad nothing fancy and from what I heard about the chili it was alright. At the end of our meal I was surprised on what came out, our desserts. We did not even ask for any and our server came out with a tray of their million dollar desserts. It was in shot glasses and their were different flavors. You just pick what flavors you want or get the whole tray. The cannoli raspberry was great and rocky road seemed to chocolatey for me. Although it was good and I wish I could of tried all of it.
(4)Ralphie A.
The live piano playing in the bar is the best experience in this restaurant ! And the service was well tentative ... Must say I was impressed! Will come back and do it over again ... Carl Evans was a great pianist!
(5)Jorge P.
Benn here several times. Every time it has been great, except for today. Went today a 4PM. The place was empty. The service was irritatingly slow. The lettuce and tomatoes in my salad were stale and the steak was cold. Looked like what I was served had been there since lunchtime. Very disappointed.
(1)Mio F.
This place is in a nice location (Miracle Mile), nice atmosphere. But we did not have a good experience with our server (actually she was pretty rude) and I think it's overpriced for the quality and amount of food. Being health conscious and smaller portion is good, but prices are not reflected. Also their dessert is quite disappointment.
(3)Lincoln B.
This is mine and my wife's favorite place to have date night. The ambiance is elegant and the rates are not what you would expect. We love that the menu is constantly changing.
(5)Stephen G.
Impressive. I went for my girlfriend's mother's birthday and I immediately took a liking to this place the moment I stepped foot inside. A somewhat dark ambiance, 52 seasons is exactly what I look for when celebrating an occasion. Good food, class, and innovation. We sat at the Chef's Table, and walked past a circular bar (that had a piano in the center of it featuring a young girl wearing heels singing Rihanna/Coldplay covers; interesting) Once we sat down, the waiter introduced himself and wished a happy birthday to my girlfriend's mom. He then proceeded to serve us samplings of the duck; compliments of the owner. It was a polite (and tasty) notion. The food was delicious, chicken and pasta + red wine and I was good to go. We managed to save room for some chocolate tiramisu. Overall, I highly recommend this place to take your hot lover (or your hot lovers mom).

I was really excited to check out Seasons 52 since everything on their menu is under 475 calories and the menu changes seasonally. I also have been hearing about the flatbreads so I knew a trip to the restaurant was a must. First and foremost, I want to mention how nice all the employees were. They all seemed to be very focused on customer satisfaction, and really tried to make my experience at the restaurant great. To begin with my friend and I ordered one of their renowned flat breads. We went for the special of the week which was a gyro flatbread. The flatbread lacked a bit of the gyro flavor that I was hoping for, but overall I was really pleased with it. Next time I go I plan on trying another flatbread to see what else Seasons 52 has to offer. I had been told that since everything on the menu was under 475 calories I might not find the meal filling enough, so I was a bit concerned of whether or not I would be satisfied with my meal. My friend and I both ordered the spicy chicken chile rellano and I thought it was scrumptious. It was definitely filling and definitely spicy. I was really happy with my selection and I would recommend it to anyone who goes to the restaurant. At this point we were asked if we wanted to try one of the mini desserts, and being someone who never shies away from a good dessert, I was all for it. My friend immediately went for the strawberry shortcake and said it was great. I took the waitresses suggestion and had the Belgian chocolate rocky road. I also thought the dessert was great. All in all, I thought Seasons 52 was great and I was really happy with everything that I ordered. I can't wait till I get to go again and possibly try something from next seasons menu.
(4)Joel F.
Went for valentines day, the ambiance is great for date nights. Subtle lighting and friendly staff. I highly recommend reserving a table because I heard the wait time was 2 hours for a guest that walked in (but it was v-day). We really enjoyed everything from appetizer to dessert. The food was light and didn't make me feel the need to rush to the bathroom or be rolled out. That being said, portion size was a little bit small for my liking. Although the feeling I mentioned above didn't happen, I could've had some more before getting there. That was the reason for the loss of a star. Otherwise I had a great time with the wife! Enjoy
(4)Morella M.
I have gone to this restaurant several times and each time it does not fail to please. With the rotating seasonal menu, a nice wine list and finger-licking good desserts- you gotta try this place.
(5)Tom W.
It's all good. Service impeccable. Flatbreads, mini deserts and the spread of assorted main courses for our group of 40.
(5)Silvia A.
Ventured to Seasons 52 (last night), and it was definitely not as good as my first experience there... while the service was EXCELLENT, and our waiter could not have been better, the food was sub-par with some exceptions... for appetizers: the curry chicken soup, the portobello mushroom flat bread and the shrimp & lobster spring rolls were spectacular... but the (seafood) entrees were just so-so, slightly cold and fairly tasteless. We also ordered a raw tuna salad, and it was completely unseasoned / lacked any dressing or "pizazz"... definitely disappointing, given the prices on many of the entrees. Best bet is to stick to appetizers (for sharing)... Also, be sure to take a winter coat (if you eat indoors), as the subzero temperature inside the restaurant was so overwhelming, that we could not enjoy the overall meal experience. BTW - mini desserts are great too!
(3)Mavis J.
Freshest food ever!! Great presentation! Had Flat bread chicken pesto and Greek salad. My friend had cedar plank salmon! Some of the very best! Nice ambience! Live music! Outdoor seating as well!! Friendly service!! Highly recommend!
(4)Giovanna H.
Good food for healthy food seekers. Good ambiance, mostly older crowd. Food was very good.
(4)Randall P.
good food, good service. Pleasing atmosphere and live entertainment with a lively aura.
(5)Turly H.
Nice dinning environment. Food came with big discs but in small portions. I ordered grilled jumbo shrimp penne pasta. Well seasoned but the pastas overcooked. In addition, ripe plum tomato flatbread was burned and tasted like expired chips... Overall, this dinner was a disappointment.
(2)Coral S.
The food was phenomenal! Great service & attention. Our server Tyler was so nice & so professional. Very attentive! We will definitely be coming back!
(5)Michael A.
The first time I came here it was about a month ago and ordered from the Miami spice menu. It was fantastic. We sat at the bar and the waitress spaced our meals out perfectly and the food was great. We went back last night and it was the complete opposite! We waited forever for the flatbread, it was good. Then midway through the flatbreads our salads came out. They were a huge pile of spinach with some dressing thrown over them. Not the same as last time. No nuts, sweet dressing or cheese. Just some hunks of pears on the side. They Sucked. Then we had to wait a long time for our main course. When it was time for desert we were only allowed one of the parfaits as opposed to two of them that were offered the first time we came. So confusing and never an explanation. Overall I won't go back. Not consistent and the guys that work behind the bar have some attitude. Not friendly. Maybe Friday nights are bad.
(2)Faustino S.
I was able to reserve a table through my phone very easily. The food was excellent, very tasty and healthy. Great wine and overall environment. The waiter was extremely friendly and attentive.
(5)Laura D.
I had the filet mignon and was not very impressed with the food. I took a group of clients here. While the service was decent, the food was not all that. I can usually tolerate a restaurant when the Food is delicious and the service is not so good, but not the other way around. I'm very picky with my food, and if it's not hot and tasty, I will not be coming back.
(2)Justin W.
Let me tell you about Seasons. This place makes me really want to go back because the people who work there are truly great. I went there with my best friend for a graduation dinner on a week night and although it was dead we still had a great time. We were seated and there was a handwritten card from "Gary", the owner I presume, congratulating me. Our waiter was sooo funny, helpful and just really entertaining and honest. He definitely listened to us and recommended great dishes. The whole concept of Seasons 52 is that they change their menu every season in order to use the freshest ingredients, which I think is extremely cool. I got the Cedar Plank dish with the Salmon, and had one of the flat breads (can't quite remember which one) as an appetizer. The flat bread was deeeeliciouss and just tasted perfect. While waiting for out entree we got to meet Gary! Who was walking around lighting candles and greeting everyone, I thanked him for the card (even though I feel like he didn't personally write it) and he was just soo sweet. My entree was the grilled salmon with asparagus, potatoes and carrots with lemon juice on top. Honestly, although I think the food was good..I didn't think it was great because I felt it could of used more seasoning, oddly enough. For dessert, they had individual mini desserts that you can choose from (like P.F. Changs). We ordered one each but this waiter was sweet enough to give us an extra one :) These were delicious. Pros: great atmosphere, nice ambience, great & welcoming staff, great location (Miracle Mile), cool concept, delicious dessert, piano player Cons: paying for parking (always a con), food was good but not great (which it should be great if you're paying that much for your meal), expensivvvvveee (Just my raspberry lemonade was around $5) Honestly, I can't wait to go back to try out the new menu, hopefully the food will please me the 2nd time around.
(4)Espicubi E.
its hit or miss in the dinning area. Bar area is nice. usually caters to an older business crowd. But, the cocktails are great, and the food is well portioned and delicious. Flat breads deserve 5 plus stars! and their cosmos are pretty high up there as well!
(5)Shelby S.
Even though this is a chain, they deliver consistently excellent, freshly prepared food. This one has the best set up of the chain I've seen so far. A great start to a date, a great lunch break from shopping, or just a great place to eat when you are too lazy to find that next awesome hole in the wall.
(5)Anna H.
Disappointing. My man and I came here because of all the great reviews, had a 3-course meal and a few drinks for about $90 - not worth it whatsoever. Though, to be fair, our waitress was wonderful even though we came in half an hour before close and stayed until about half an hour after. Had goat cheese ravioli for an appetizer; it was okay. Nothing special. I ordered pork tenderloin with broccoli and polenta for my main course and I didn't enjoy it. Honestly, everything on my plate was rather bland and tasteless. The man friend had lamb with mashed potatoes and asparagus; he ordered it medium and it was BLOODY. Definitely rare. It wasn't very good either. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were okay. The mini-desserts were cute and a good portion size, and they were good, but again, nothing special. Two stars come from the lovely service and the nice decor and ambience. Would not come back.
(2)Anne-Marie B.
I was very excited to hear that my best friends were taking me here to celebrate my birthday, as I had heard very good things about this restaurant. I was not disappointed. Their menu changes throughout the year, the larger part changes four times a year according to the season, then there is a smaller, special menu that changes weekly, hence the name. The food was fresh, delicious and presented beautifully. The portions are just the right size. The restaurant inside is very romantic and comfortable, although the music can sometimes be a little loud if you are near the bar.
(4)Mitch A.
My girlfriend and I ate here last night, it was our first time at a Seasons 52 restaurant. Our waiter Joel was very nice, he explained the menu and pointed out different appetizers and wine. The flatbread was good, the dinners were great, and the desserts were too! We sat in the long because they had a pianist who was also singing, he played everything from Sinatra and Michael Buble to Jason Mraz. It was a great experience, and I would recommend this restaurant!
(5)Michelle G.
This place was awful....sadly I went there to take my mother for her birthday. Unfortunately with the horrible service, the tasteless food and the empty restaurant I don't know anyone who would go back. DON'T GO!!! RUN!!! Our waiter was nowhere to be found. After several minutes another waitress knowing how long we had been there decided to help us. We ordered wine and cocktails. She had to prepare our drinks because the bartender was too busy talking to co-workers. The food was tasteless and over cooked. It was so bad the Second Manager took care of our bill. As trendy and loaded with restaurants as Coral Gables is this place will not be around for long...
(1)Mary W.
We celebrated a birthday with our sons here - the food was terrific, generous portions of really healthy food. Great welcome at the front door. I put a note in the reservation that it was my son's birthday, and they greeted him at the door with a personally signed birthday card, and brought a dessert to the table for him. The wine flight was not only good, but a good value. We had never been here before, but have already told many others about it and will definitely return!
(5)Alex L.
On a sunday morning, when the restaurant is anything but full, I found the service to be sub-par. I find this problem exists at most of the chain restaurants in Florida in that they really don't put out the effort they need to in order to be a great restaurant and just end up being mediocre. We ended up waiting forever for one of the waitresses to actually take the order from our table. One of our coffees came with lipstick from the previous person who had the cup. Food was slightly below average. The limited items on the menu due to their calorie limit on entrees was disappointing. Too many options to choose from in Coral Gables. Avoid this place if you have the option.
(2)Alyse S.
This was the perfect location for my medical school graduation lunch. Service was great, food was delicious and we loved our experience. I would definitely go back and have another meal. I also liked the fact that they had a vegan menu for my Aunt and they are über accommodating for those with dietary needs.
(5)Giovanni P.
Great restaurant and ambiance. Must go there with an appetite. The flat breads are great and so is the regular food. Low calorie meals as well so it cant get better than that!!
(5)Niniva S.
Just over rated, long wait, bad service, cold food, and over priced, I have to say, if you looking to spend an evening in a place packed with people, noisy, this is your place, if your looking to have the best dinning experience, with great food and service, this is the wrong place.
(1)mike c.
Ron and I had an excellent dinner here, visiting from Naples tonight. The food was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and at a perfect pace. The generously portioned cocktails were made quickly and correctly. The service was top notch. I would highly recommend our waiter Joel who was witty, knowledgable and engaging. Great service can make all the difference in the world for an evening and this place had it together tonight for sure! We will go to the one in Naples too now that we see what this place can do. I only hope it is as good as the Miracle Mile location.
(5)Michael C.
went not too long ago and all I can say is fantastic. Superb service, excellent portions and quality, very warm staff. Because it was a special occasion they even threw in some bubbly and a photo to remember. I can't think of any other place in Miami that is like this. Truly unique. A+ Food was delicious and for the money it's ok. Not the cheapest of places, but the food was superb and service was great, so that's ok. Truly a good experience. Will go back. Hard Truth.
(5)Alejandra M.
I had no clue all their dishes were under 472 calories and was starving when I got there; so as you can probably imagine my meal wasn't really hunger satisfying. The place does have a nice ambiance, the food is good but nothing to brag about and the service is pretty top notch. Great for a light bite, a nice glass of wine & catchy tunes by the piano man.
(3)Nicole A.
I came here for dinner and was met by two of the nicest hostesses in any restaurant I have been to. The hostess that sat us talked a little about their wonderful desserts in shot glasses and advised that we get some because they were delicious. It's a beautiful dimly lit restaurant with a piano player at the bar. I wish I would have asked if he took requests. I will have to ask next time. By the way, yelpers of the male sex, this is a great restaurant for a date. It's very intimate. Do it! Our waitress was very attentive and sweet and explained the menu to us and talked about how the menu constantly changed hence the name Seasons 52. 52 weeks in a year, different seasons, different menu...get it? Get it? Ok, good. My friend and I started with a bowl of mussels, which were absolutely delicious! For my main entree I ordered the trout and my friend ordered filet mignon. By the way, a lot of their food is organic and under 475 calories, according to our waitress. Yay! My meal came with roasted potatoes and grilled fresh vegetables. My mouth is salivating just thinking about how incredible that trout was. It fell apart in my mouth. I am telling you kids, it was cooked to perfection! I ate every single piece of food on my plate. Seriously, I need to go back. And soon. For dessert I opted for the fresh fruit in a shot glass. You can't go wrong with fresh fruit. There were so many yummy choices though - cookies and creme, carrot cake, key lime pie, etc. I am cooking for you Key Lime Pie!!! I love the vibe of this restaurant, I love the food in this restaurant, I love this restaurant!

Simply phenomenal. From the flatbread to the desert, everything was fantastic. I had a seasonal dish, mediterranean Tuna that was simply awesome. The wife had the filet, cooked beautifully. Soft like butter. As an apetizer we had the chilled lobster and shrimp spring rolls that were insane. Price wasn't bad either. Dinner with drinks ran just under $100. Not bad

Not sure what's going on in the kitchen tonight. Unusually long wait even with a reservation. The entree took almost an hour and was cold. I'll pass next time. Much better restaurants in Coral Gables.

Overall great restaurant. Food was excellent.. Reasonable prices. Atmosphere is good. I would recommend.. Definitely going back

It was a Friday night and since I stayed late at work to finish several projects, my stomach was already in a bad mood. Therefore, after I finished, I wanted a drink and a small appetizer. It was the beginning of the weekend and the beginning of July 4th week. I wanted to go to a place where I can eat, have fast service and get out in a flash because my drive to West Kendall is long. So I decided Seasons 52. Upon looking at the menu, I decided on the Chicken Garlic flatbread comprised with balsamic onions, roasted red peppers, mozzarella cheese. Complimenting the flat bread, i ordered a nice cool glass of Riesling wine. What a treat for me since I don't drink alcohol often anymore. in the beginning of my meal, I was undecided to have a mini indulgence dessert but then I told my waitress to bring over the mini indulgence tray. Upon explaining to me all the varieties, she indicated that her favorite was the Pecan Pie with Vanilla Mousse mini indulgence, which I what I chose. It was delicious. Matter of fact, everything was delicious and go out of the restaurant in a decent amount of time. Another great night at Seasons 52!!

I will be hosting a rehearsal dinner for my son and his wife-to-be at Seasons52.in April 2013. After talking to several other restaurant event planners, I was frustrated and irritated with their unwillingness to be helpful and the attitude the conveyed that I should be grateful they would allow me to spend a couple thousand dollars in their restaurants. Then I was referred to Seasons52! Denise Erwin was wonderful, informative, flexible, and best of all, she was just plain nice. Anything I needed she could accommodate in away that satisfied me but was still within reason for the restaurant. She made me feel that my guests needs and wants were of primary importance and she made planning the event fun. I was to the point where I was dreading this party, but with Denise's help, I feel Seasons52 will make the event a success. After the party, I will add more to this review to let you know how it went, but if you are thinking about hosting an event, I encourage you to call Seasons52 to take the hassle out of party planning.

Very nice experience for meat lovers :-) Creative dishes and fine food. Try the flat chicken - it is interesting and made well.

We've been looking forward to eating here for the longest. It was worth the wait. There is a MUST for reservations on a Saturday evening, the place gets packed (envision a Cheesecake factory with people standing around with pagers). Once you're in, you're good. We started off with a glass of Jam Jar Shiraz. Not your typical Shiraz, this one is served chilled. Trust me, tastes great for what you're about to enjoy. Heard lots about the flatbreads, and yes - they are amazing. We had the steak and cremini mushroom. It's just enough for two. Even if you're not a fan of blue cheese, it is absolutely great. We then shared a bowl of their buffalo chili, that was an instant hit. I wasn't too crazy about the pieces of breads they put in the chili, but overall if i had to rate it I'd say a 8.5. My fiancee and I went straight after to the main courses, I had the rainbow trout and she had the scallops. Not that the scallops were bad, but they were too grilled. The trout was simply amazing. We skipped on dessert (too full) and asked for the bill. Love the fact every dish is under 475, I wish there were more restaurants like this with more conscious of heavy calorie intake. We'll definitely visit again.

I love sitting at the bar. Love their tuna salad and flatbreads! The bartenders are great...Awesome dirty martini with blue cheese olives!
(4)Michelle L.
Just what the Gables needed, I really like this place. It gives me the illusion that I am somewhere else out of town, not miami. Not only is the food excellent and organic, but there's live piano bar entertainment. They have a pitcher of organic oranges sitting in vodka ready for martinis. I asked the bartender, thinking it was flavored water. Cant wait to try a martini with that stuff. Their menu is seasonal, always changing. I tried their flatbread and salad for lunch. Very pleased. Need to come back for dinner. Looks like a prime hapy hour location with a great piano bar.
(5)Deka M.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!! best restaurant on miracle mile low calorie but big on taste and flavor comfortable, cool atmosphere great staff and service the $2.50 dessert shooters are a dangerously wonderful idea will be going back over and over and over and over......

Went here for lunch today since it was open with the nasty weather outside. Love the area where the restaurant is located. Our waiter was a super nice guy and knew his menu very well. Started off with corn soup and it was pretty good. Very fresh. I got the Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno and it was good. Lots of different tastes in there. Only thing that I didn't like was the mashed potatoes that I got. They weren't very good at all. Wife got the salmon and she liked it. All the ingredients were very fresh. Prices were fair and the ambiance was very nice. They update their menu every season for what is in season so everything is fresh. All in all a solid place to eat.
(4)Lester M.
This place delivers every time. I have been here a few times, not as much as I would like. I came for lunch to enjoy their wine tasting menu. Yes, wine tasting for lunch is awesome. Not having to go back to work, PRICELESS. So here is the deal, they let you try 3 different wines of your choosing, they'll give you a glass of the one you like most and it includes a flatbread of your choice...ALL FOR 15 BUCKS!!! Not bad, right!?!?. I added the clam and shrimp cioppino, since I ended up choosing a white wine, and my lunch was complete. Add the fact that my girlfriend did not work that day, so we got to share a week day lunch and my lunch was perfect. Oh, and if you are wondering about the quality of the food and service, all amazing.
(4)Leslie G.
Must have dessert!!!!!!!
(4)Katerina S.
Seasons 52 has to be one of my consistently favorite restaurants. You ALWAYS get the highest quality meal and never have to completely blow a good diet. The specials are always divine and tasty. Their service is up to par with any fine dining restaurant. Their mini desserts are to die for -- favorite is pecan pie!!
(5)Dan R.
Incredible flat breads. Wow enjoyed. Great place.
(4)Richard S.
Everything was almost 5 stars but I didn't think the food was more than 4 stars. Some said their food was dry, mine was too salty. Service was excellent and everything was fast, food tasted fresh, and we had a private room so that made the experience better. They gave us complimentary dessert ("for new year") and went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for everyone.

So I finally went to Seasons 52 a few weeks ago for dinner with my friend Barbie L. We got there around 6:30 p.m. and the place so busy the wait was about an hour and forty five minutes long. Because we really wanted to try the food but didn't want to wait until the next morning to eat, we opted for one of those tiny drink tables they have outside. I think they definitely need outdoor space heaters, at least during this time of year because although it isn't consistently cold during South Florida's "winter," we do have our share of chilly days. Aside from that, this place is pretty good. Our server, Heather, was very informative and an overall great waitress. The food is fairly inexpensive, especially for Coral Gables, and when you compare 52's prices to some of their obvious competitors (like Hillstone), it's a no-brainer. However, their drink prices are a bit inflated. It seemed to me like they're trying to make up for the cheap food by hiking up the prices of their booze. Fair enough, they're on Miracle Mile and I'm sure their rent is pretty high...but it's definitely something to keep in mind if you plan to throw back a few. To start, Barbie and I shared one of their flat bread specials which was a version of a gyro with lamb and some sort of yogurt sauce. It was pretty good! My only complaint is that it got cold ridiculously fast. Although maybe we should blame the lack of heaters for that... I then had the Maple Leaf Farms Duck Chop Salad, which was quite tasty. Barbie had the Housemade Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli which she said was also good. Sadly, we had no dessert. In sum, I'd say this place is pretty good. I'd go back again to try a few more of their dishes. But, if I'm planning on having more than one drink I might have to go elsewhere before or after. Lastly, watch out for the older papi-chulos hanging out at this place trolling for young women...they're relentless!
(4)Aida A.
I'm definitely adding this restaurant to my list of Favorites. It is a beautiful restaurant with a romantic,casual and sophisticated atmosphere. It has a nice piano bar where you can drink, eat and enjoy the music,plus a main dinning room. You can also sit and eat outside. The service was excellent and the food was DELICIOUS!!! I enjoyed the Organic Baby Spinach Salad with the Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon and some wine, of course. I didn't have dessert, but they looked good. I really recommend this restaurant.
(5)Big Daddy V.
As a seasoned visitor, I was disappointed with my dinner. The lobster and shrimp spring rolls were great, wonderful pieces of lobster inside accompanied by a couple of savory dipping sauces. The BBQ chicken salad was a surprisingly good entree as the BBQ sauce was just enough to taste but not overwhelm. The steak, however, was ordered rare to medium-rare and arrived charred on the outside and medium on the inside. It was tough and tasted as though it had been sitting under warming lights for the better part of the evening instead of fresh off the grill.
(3)Betty M.
Went for dinner with a childhood friend during Coral Gables Restaurant Week. The service was fabulous and so was the food. I had the tomato flatbread. Yummy !! I had the pork tenderloin for dinner. Perfection! Lastly, I had the mocha desert. Really Good. Our server was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Great Food! Great Service.

How have I not reviewed Seasons 52 yet?? Somehow my review slipped through my fingers... I will quickly fix this Many moons ago, I discovered Seasons 52 when they opened up. In fact, I visited them soon after they opened this location. When they first opened, the front facade of the restaurant stood out on the Mile. There wasn't anything that looked even remotely as modern with a touch of rustic. Inside, everything is impecable. Always clean, orderly, and everyone is EXTREMELY professional and polite. They will always adress you by your last name and even offer white or black linens at the table. Quick note, most people don't know why a restaurant would offer black or white linen. Don't feel bad. I didn't know either. The idea is that you won't get white lint (from white cloth) on your dark/black clothing; or visa-versa. Knowing is half the battle, G.I. Joe! I've found for best experience, you should make reservations. They certainly allow for walk-ins, but if it is a busy time, you may have to wait quite some time. Once in a while they do have a live piano player near the bar. During cold/winter times, they have a fancy looking fireplace by the door. All individual servings are less than 475 calories. If you are health nut, like I am, this is a dream. They are even able to make certain dishes to order to be conscious of salt, gluten, or other specific health needs. If you have one of those types of needs, call ahead to see how they can help accomodate your needs. Appetizers are mostly flatbreads... well, at least that's what I end up having because they are that good. I have also had the edamame with Japanese salt. I would recommend against having the "basic" flat bread. It's not bad, but just seems to feel incomplete. There is a wide variety of flavors and you should try any of them. When they are served, they are cut into 8 pieces, so plan accordingly on how much you would like to have. Usually one flat bread serves about 2 people. The edamame is great too. The Japanese salt gives it a little kick, but by no means is it bad by itself. Let's pause again for a moment to discuss what makes Seasons 52 special. The name of the restaurant explains how they work in a very self referential way. Every season (winter, fall, summer, spring) they change the main body of their menu. In addition, they have a weekly menu (52 weeks in a year) in which they change a smaller portion of their menu. There are staples that I've seen all year round, such as the Tiger Shrimp Penne pasta (which is very good) and the basic flat bread. The chef de cuisine makes their best attempt to match the season to the cuisine and local culture. I've had a variety of dishes and (weekly) specials. They are all filling without being overwhelming. Lots of great flavors. I would like to recommend one or two dishes, but it's difficult because they change it so often. Try something new and you won't regret it. Dessert... oh dangerous desserts. The have what is called "indulgences" as their dessert. They are essentially shot glasses full of various flavors. Carrot cake, Rocky Road, Pecan Pie, Fruits, Espresso cake... the list goes on and they are ALL great. Try two! 1/2 Appetizer [~240 calories] + Entree [475 calories] + 1 indulgence [~250 calories] = 1000 calories. Bottom Line: Guilt free and amazing service keeps me returning! Bottom Line:
(5)Andy D.
As I stare at the bartender, thinking since he's a mere 36 inches away maybe he'll figure out I want a drink. Waiting and waiting and bam success. Finally after 5 minutes I have a bartender. He turned out to be rather helpful. And pointed me to the stuffed mushrooms with crab meat, and the roasted stuffed artichoke. Both were an Andy hit! The piano player, she was so hot and so sultry, I didn't even mind the flat notes. The entertainment puts this place at a whole new level. The cons, yes as you get older your vision is the first supposedly to go. In my case its an eye disease that is progressively darkening my world, but with no help from Seasons, it's virtually dark, with an unreadable menu! So for the love of God and all things holy, change your fonts! I like this place, the bar is the best place to eat, as you are surrounded by all things cool!
(4)Amie G.
Came in for a late night dinner and was surprised to discover that everything on the menu was 450 calories or less. I had the scallops and risotto which was very good. We finished with one of the guilt-free sized desserts. There was a piano at the bar when we were there on Friday night.
(4)Lisa A.
One of my favorite restaurants in South Florida. So reasonably priced and the food is hands down AMAZING!!!!!! Nice place to celebrate birthdays too because you can go in their private dining room at no extra charge. I also love sitting at the bar and bring entertained by the pianist who sings Top 40 song.
(5)Elizabeth H.
I recently ventured to Seasons 52 as I was intrigued after many friends had recommended the restaurant. During Coral Gables restaurant week, I got to savor a variety of foods on a preset menu. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was extraordinary; my waiter was constantly checking on the table and gave great recommendations. The best recommendation was the mini deserts, mainly the Tres Leches. Every last bit was so delicious, I wanted another. I restrained myself; however, I left the restaurant content knowing that every item on the menu is under 495 calories! Definitely a place I have recommended to friends.
(5)Faby P.
I really like this place. It is so nice inside, the decor is so elegant but not stuffy. They also have outside seating which is really nice on Miracle Mile. The food is awesome! Everything is healthy so you don't feel gross after eating it, even the desserts. Today was my 2nd time there and it was great. Service, food, speed, everything was on point. We had the shrimp and pineapple flatbread which was excellent, and i had the mussels which were really good. It came w/ garlic toast (only 2 pieces) which is perfect for portion control. Their desserts are amazing - another portion controlled item. I had the PB one today (again) b/c I am addicted to the stuff. It was yummy. I'll keep going back. I can't wait to try their spring menu which debut next week.
(5)Alexandre H.
Health nut combined with trendy atmosphere. Translation: lot's of fresh "healthy" choices (under 475 cal) but prepared deliciously in a delightful ambiance. Menu changes according to seasons,and they have weekly specials, so every time you come back something new is on the menu. To start we had the Caramelized Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms (excellent), then we shared a Greek Salad (perfect). I chose the Wood-Roasted Pork Tenderloin and my wife took the Grilled Boneless Rainbow Trout as main entrees, both were tasty and cooked perfectly. Then we had two mini-deserts (only $2.50 each!), this rounded off our delightful dinning experience. Kudos to our server Sheena, great job, attentive and "simpatica". And don't forget to try the wines, we had an Italian Pinot Grigio and a South African Sauvignon Blanc, both matched our entrees magically. Being a demented foodie, I never though I would give 4 stars to a "healthy eatery" (praise to that type of place is usually reserved to the crowd who's skin is almost transparent, they read Karl Marx and believe Al Gore invented the internet). Cheers!
(4)Elle M.
I went for Miami spice and I thought the food was just average. There was nothing special about it and the normal menu price is IMO, not worth the food. I did not leave thinking there was anything I would ever want to go back for. Between me and 2 others, we tried almost the entire Miami spice menu.
(3)Adriel D.
Loved the ambiance and decor immediately, lots of fine wood, perfect lighting and spacious seating. Staff was refreshingly courteous and our server was always smiling and attentive. Shared three appetizers with my girlfriend: steak and mushroom flatbread (very good), tuna and avocado sushi roll (excellent), hummus with the most incredibly addictive long chips with sea salt. Had to eventually ask the server to take them away, because I was eating too much of them by the end of the meal, and I wanted to save space for dessert: they bring you a tray with a dozen small glasses filled with different desserts, very enticing and unique. I chose carrot cake, so moist and balanced I told my GF we needed to get that for our wedding. Her chosen dessert was very good but nothing like the carrot cake. Would be back tomorrow if I wasn't so much into not repeating places so fast.
(5)Robert S.
Warm atmosphere with nicely furnished dining room and bar ruined by mediocre food in a chain owned by Red Lobster which shows in the same poor quality of ingredients as its' lower-end cousin, e.g. small shrimp, unimaginative appetizers, etc. Skip it and go to Houstons/Hillstone, Morton's, Ruths Chris or Sushi Samba down the block.
(2)Jessica B.
Came here with the ladies for coral gables restaurant week and it was delicious. Had the hawaiian martini which was exquisite. I started off with stuffed crab & shrimp mushrooms, really good, then had the mixed salad which had a flavorful dressing and finally for entree had the filet mignon with demi glaze with asparagus and carrots, it was tender and too die for. Finally i ended the night with the pecan pie shooter, omg cant wait to go back and have another one...Yummy!!!
(4)Barbara O.
Frequent eater here. Yes, it's a chain but it manages to refresh itself every time. Love that the choices are all in the "good" calorie option. And love, love, the little desserts.
(5)Megan D.
Everything tastes so fresh! We got to the restaurant a little earlier than our reservation/rest of our party, so we sat at the bar for a drink - we decided on champagne (the Chartogne), which was lovely. When our party arrived, they glanced at the drink menu and started talking about their bordeaux selection...the bartender, Heather, who was...tending bar...overheard them and quickly offered a tasting of whichever ones they wanted to try out before we went to the table. Which was impressive! We settled up at the bar and headed to our table...which is where things were a little, less impressive. Our server, Danny, had us sitting there for a while, which I think is uncharacteristic for the place, since Patrick, the other bartender came over to apologize that our server hasn't been over to us yet, and asked if he could take our drink orders for him. Sure! We were on a double date, so to speak, so the other girlfriend and I ordered their organic strawberry basil martini before the dinner orders/during apps...HOLY DELICIOUS, btw. My boyfriend ordered a glass of the Cakebread '10 chardonnay, which is unusual for him, but he heard good things about it and gave it a try. (thumbs up, ps.) My friend's boyfriend ordered a glass of the Parenchere bordeaux - which we ordered a bottle of with dinner - great flavors! As an appetizer, we ordered the goat cheese and artichoke flat bread...it was more than enough for an appetizer - I don't have a huge appetite, so this was actually perfect for us all to share. The other couple had the seasonal special trout with tabouleh, and the sea scallops with pearl pasta, respectively. My boyfriend ordered the free-range veal porterhouse steak - which looked amazing - and I had the rainbow trout with seasonal veggies...SO good. I can vouch for the scallops also, as she let me try one, and they were prepared perfectly. Desserts - we caved and got those silly little mini indulgence things...we ordered the chocolate peanut butter, red velvet, strawberry shortcake, and key lime pie...and shared them, for the most part. My boyfriend and I also got their port wine to pair with the dessert - it wasn't the best port I've ever had, and I was kinda sad they only have ONE option, but it was still a good port. The aforementioned "less impressive" moments with the server, were due to his remarks...from "yeah we don't have that, where I used to work we did...but not this place" to "yeah, they could do better with that, but, what can ya do, ya know?" Kinda disheartening, and unprofessional, but we didn't let it ruin our meals! :D
(4)Sandra M.
It is great to have a good ambiance and excellent food option in Miami. The service also accordingly. The menu is incredible and with a unique variety. The season's menu is excellent, but the weekly ones are even better options. This months they even have a plus, the Miami Spice menu.
(5)Christy L.
LOVE this restaurant! Was told there would be a wait, but they seated us right away when we told them it was my mom's birthday. Sangrias were great. We got caesar salad and rainbow trout which were delicious. Josh was a great waiter and very accommodating. Great ambiance, playing live piano music. Would definitely come back!!
(5)Sheryl C.
Always a crowd pleaser.

Okay, so while Jaguar might be my favorite restaurant in the Grove.. Seasons 52 is by far my favorite in Coral Gables! Granted I've only been there once... but let me just start by saying how friendly and helpful the wait staff is. I told them about my shelfish allergy.. done. If it's your first time there they bring you little ceviche ish samplers of shrimp, but I got tuna! due to my allergy. Anyway, the waitress started by saying that everything on the menu is LESS THAN 475 CALORIES! I mean, WHAT? Really? Okay, you had me at less than 475 calories. Sold! Also the wine we had was delicious, some sort of pino grigio I wish I could remember. We ordered the tandoori chicken, about three came on a plate.. we ordered two servings for three people (oops!) do not do that, it's huge and really filling! We had some edamame, which was also pretty filling. For our mains we had an arugula salad (one of us hardy eats anything at all!) I had the salmon main salad (delicious!) The salmon was soo perfectly cooked and tasted great with the fruit and pumpkin seeds.. My friend had the cedar planked salmon. It was good and she enjoyed it, but I preferred my salmon to be honest. By the end of the meal I was so happy with everything, that I declared I could live here.. because really they have brunch, lunch and dinner.. I mean I want to try everything on the menu! By the way, I should mention that when we came in the music was way too loud and we mentioned this.. not actually directly to them, but they overheard us talking about it so they turned it down immediately. I mean how great is that?
(5)Glenda C.
Seasons 52 is definitely a different type of restaurant. It is one of my favorite restaurants on the Mile. Their menu changes according to what's in season and the best part.....everything on the menu is under 475 calories! Now if only I could stick to ordering only 1 item on the menu..... My favorite dish that I had tasted so far on the menu is the steak and cremini mushroom flatbread......it's amazing. I didn't think anything would top that until I tried a flatbread which was part of their weekly menu (they have a small weekly menu that changes every week). It was a mushroom, goat cheese with truffle oil flatbread and it was spectacular! I have also tried the cedar plank roasted salmon, I was not crazy about this dish. I don't think I like things cooked in cedar, did not like the wood taste. Anyhow, I have also had their goat cheese ravioli and it was very delicious. And of course their desserts are super yummy, I always want one of each!
(4)Tom G.
Now that's what I'm talking about. Meet Camille; Server Extraordinaire! This visit has to be one of the best encounters with service I have seen. Seasons 52, an otherwise 4 star restaurant, gets five stars from me this trip because of the excellent service. Camille was polite, efficient, attentive, timely and clearly understood our requests. I can't say enough about how perfect the service was, so if you go, ask for her and you'll be pleased I'm sure. Salmon and pork tenderloin is pretty good. The deserts are a modest size, but super!
(5)Deez N.
Background music was great. Fair amount of options without making it overwhelming. They were very accommodating of our 2 year old and even had food options not on the menu for her. Nice wine selection and a good price range. Food was good for how healthy everything is. Save room for dessert!
(4)Stephanie S.
Amazing food! Deserts were great! Great portion size
(5)Keith P.
I went to Seasons 52 today, since it was one of the participating restaurants in Coral Gables Restaurant Week, and there were several thoughts floating around my head such as....."Loud ambience.... bland food.... outstanding service.... amazing desserts"! Oh my, this stream of consciousness overwhelms me. Nonetheless, my pros and cons were equal for this place, so I would like to give this place a solid 3.5 (okay, more like a 3 but only because I cannot give .5s). One of the hugest cons I have to say is that since the restaurant is very open. You can hear without failure what everyone at the surrounding tables is talking about. At my left, I had a 40 year old who was on his first date and was explaining the essentials of networking and how he had a subordinate who he was mentoring himself. The booth in front of me was a more eccentric group of three 50 year old somethings who were reminiscing about their previous trip to Greece. Hearing what everyone is saying around you can dampen any ambience. It seems that the majority of people who go here are those who go for networking. Not the ideal place if you would like to lounge around for lunch! I have mixed reviews about the food. For an appetizer, I had the vine ripe tomato flatbread. Perfect combination of salty and crunchy. Good with a side of olive oil. For my main entree, I had the blackened fish tacos. I have to admit that this was probably one of the worst things I had at the restaurant. "Worst" is such a strong word, so I'll refer to it as merely "could be better". I think it had mahi-mahi, but the fish was very bland. It definitely lacked flavor and could have used a little more lime. I also prefer crunchy tacos, so the soft taco shell was a let-down. The "saving" dish of the whole meal was their small indulgences. When they present you their desserts, they show you a bunch of shotglasses containing different sweet samples of goodness. I tried the pecan pie and red velvet, and it was divine! Perfect portion of ingredients. I would definitely come here again for the flatbreads and dessert; definitely not the fish tacos; although I feel that other items on the meny may taste better. As I conclude this review, I would like to say that the service here is absolutely outstanding! My waitress always made sure that I was taken care of. Thanks Ana F.! She gave me her card at the end of the meal. If I was judging on service alone, I would have given them a 5. But the loud ambience and fish tacos knocked them down a few points. I would definitely come here again. Great dessert, good flatbread, and amazing service! However, I think I might have to stay away from the fish tacos next time.

Flatbread special is always on point....delicious and filling meal is a $13 special which also includes two glasses of wine of your choice!
(3)Moi M.
Been to all locations in south Florida and they're very consistent with their food and service. Food is always fresh, delicious flatbreads, the menu, besides a very nice variety, they change it often yet you can be assured the food is always good. Not sure many restaurants can pull off changing the menu often and still consistently delivery good food, but this restaurant does a great job at it. And the desserts? Well that's just like great icing in the cake. Enjoy! I always do.

I took a group of friends to their pre-opening dinner service. Walking into the restaurant, the hostess greeted us with a smile and said "Mr. Chao, your table is ready..." Granted that out of our group, I am the one that is the only one that looks like a Mr. Chao, it was nevertheless very welcoming. This level of service flowed throughout the entire staff. The atmosphere was very lively and everybody had a great vibe. It seemed as if everybody enjoyed working there. The decor reminds of Houstons restaurant right down the street, which to say is not a bad thing. The large sliding doors open right up to Miracle Mile and to the bar. We were seated in a booth that was right next to the bar. Even though there were plenty of people, the noise was subdued, thanks to proper acoustic design. I can't stand restaurants where you have to shout to make conversation. Here's an interesting design element in the men's restroom: there are large rectangular metal grates that you stand over when you are at the urinal. Below the grate is a drain. Is this made just in case you miss? If you had too many drinks and didn't make it to the toilet? The menu is simple, yet complete. The four of us tried each tried something different. Appetizers included roasted poblano pepper, shrimp and crab stuff mushroom, chicker skewers, and mussels. The stuffed mushrooms was definitely the hit of the bunch. The mushrooms had an intense woody flavor. Entrees included, seared scallops, lake trout, lamb chops, and the filet mignon. The scallops were seared to absolute perfection. The lake trout filet was large and tasty. The lamb chops were just ok. It didn't have the intense gamey flavor of really good lamb. The filet was cooked to perfection. It was extremely tender and perfectly sized. All of the main entrees are under 475 calories. Very impressive. An assortment of desserts all came in individual shot glasses. I couldn't remember what they were except for the carrot cake. As a very courteous gesture, the manager came by offered our group an after-dinner glass of wine. The wine was an absolute surprise. It was a 2006 Royal Tokaji Red Label 5 Puttonyos. It tasted like smooth buttery honey and perfectly complemented the meal. Because of my pre-opening invite, dinner was comped. We only paid for our alcoholic beverages. I will definitely be back to have lunch and dinner here again and again.

I have been to two other Seasons 52 restaurants (in Boca and Orlando), and this one absolutely impressed me. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and welcoming. When my friend and I sat down, our waitress asked if we had ever visited before... and since my friend hadn't, the chef brought us out a complimentary shrimp tasting on porcelain spoons. It was a lovely touch, even though neither of us eat shellfish. We both shared the rosemary and parmesean crispbread, and each ordered the tandoori chicken skewers. She and I loved our meals - we were never rushed, and our food was prepared perfectly. The mixed greens salad that comes with the skewers is delicious - I really love that dressing. For dessert, I got the rocky road mini indulgence, while she chose the key lime pie (both were excellent). Our waitress was also prompt and courteous, so our water glasses were never empty. Before we left, the manager made sure we enjoyed everything, and my friend and I both agreed that everyone was just so nice. It was a very pleasant, relaxing lunch... so needless to say, I didn't want to go back to work! I can't afford to come here all the time, but I certainly will visit again.

I was the lucky duck that got an invite to Seasons 52's preview lunch thanks to AMEX Gold so I took my friend for a lunch break on a Tuesday. First of all the decor has a very Colorado outdoorsy feel with a modern touch. Rock walls, wood beams matched with classy furnishings. You feel at home but still out for a special meal. What most impressed me was the discovery that every single dish on the menu whether lunch or dinner is promised to be under 500 calories. So this is a great place to take someone who is watching their weight but doesn't want to loose out on flavor and variety. As part of the promotion to have us there we each had to pick an appetizer, entree and dessert. The menu is extensive, offering seafood, flat breads, sandwiches, soup and salad combos and it was hard to pick what we wanted. Another great aspect of the menu is it changes every three months to reflect what is best in local seasonal foods. Our dishes included crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms which were a great warm and slightly cheesy start to our meal. Chicken Tortilla soup was good if you enjoy it as a savory and hearty dish. The scallops were cooked to perfection, served with Israeli couscous and steamed asparagus. I chose the tropical salad with shrimp rolls, the salad was so bold with flavor citrus, pineapple, edemame came together in a delightful dish, unfortunately it was such a flavorful salad it outshined the shrimp rolls where were a bland partner to the salad, the quality of everything served was great. For dessert we got to choose from their sweet ending desserts served in a small cup - for me the Meyer's lemon pound cake parfait was heavenly, tart and sweet! My friend chose the key lime pie cup and she said it was really good and the perfect finish to our meal. Service was extremely attentive, Joel was knowledgeable on the menu and tried to anticipate our requests. I really look forward to taking my husband to try our the rainbow trout on the menu as that is not something you find on most menus. In the end I would say this is a great addition to the choices on Miracle Mile.

Impressive spot. Everything on the menu is under 475 calories. Which had me thinking that the portions were going to be absurdly small, leaving me wanting to eat six of them to compensate for their calorie saving size. 475 calories is usually my first mouthful. Not so. I was good & full after the tuna noodle bowl, a nice size portion of fresh tuna over top of bok choi and Japanese noodles with mushrooms and a delicate ginger-sesame sauce. The flatbreads make a nice appetizer but are probably too small for an entree. Even the deserts are plenty enough size for one and hold the same calorie count, but you'd never know it. It all has to do with the way it's cooked, surprisingly not that they skimp on size, variety, ingredients, or flavor. The piano bar is nice and it seems like a good place for an after work drink too. The ambience in the restaurant makes me think of Napa. If you haven't tried, it's worth it.

The place was very nice and service very good. Clean and nice atmosphere. I had various flat breads which were ok. It's so thin that it feels like your eating nothing. Also had the shrimp risotto. It was ok. A bit over cooked and very little risotto which tasted ok. It was to dry and clumpy. The dessert stand was awesome thought. That was the best part.

I have eaten at Seasons 52 many times and always thoroughly enjoyed it - the food has always been great as well as the service. THis past Saturday, my family held my Baby Shower in the private room and it was SUPERB. Everything from the service to the food was outstanding. From the moment I walked in the door, they greeted me with smiles and had a gift for me (a little Seasons 52 onesie), took a picture of me holding it up and then even developed the picture, of which they gave me a copy. They were so incredibly friendly, and not just to me - everyone that I have spoken to since that day has told me what a great job they did and just how nice the staff was. We stayed well beyond the time we should have but they were not rude or rushing to get us out - in fact, one of the servers helped us carry out all the gifts at the end of the event. The food was very good - everything was served family style - in particular, the char grilled salmon with salad was OUTSTANDING. I am not a huge salmon fan but it was so good that I had seconds. It was lightly charred and served with mixed greens, peppers, mangos and a vinaigrette. Plenty of food! Like I said, this was not my first experience at Seasons 52 but I was again reminded of the fantastic service and food that this restaurant has to offer and I would recommend it over and over, whether you're going just for dinner or looking for a venue for a private event.

The have a great healthy menu. That goes along with great service and decor.
(4)Rafael M.
This was on excellent place to bring some business guests. Great food and wine. Service was excellent and even Chef Keith visited our table. When in Miami I will make sure to return.
(5)Boris G.
First time in the rest. Great server (Ana) we sat outside on a beautiful day. Had the steak flatbread which was very tasty. The soup of the day was ok but could have packed more taste. Had couple mimosas and passed on dessert although it looked very good Very pleased
(4)Wl M.
Service is always personable and never rushed. Food is delicious and the place looks great. I have always enjoyed myself here whether I've gone with friends for a casual time at the bar or gathering for dinner.
(5)Dexter M.
Great food. They have a seasonal menu which lists the calorie counts for all of their dishes. One of the few chain restaurants that doesn't serve you microwaved meals. I had the buffalo burger and we shared some of their flatbreads. Both were delicious.
(5)Zach A.
Fantastic service, good food, and the portion sizes are perfect! I've been to a few different locations and the food and atmosphere are consistently very nice along with the outstanding service and attention to detail. Food is "healthy" so it may not suit everyone's taste, however it is among the best of the higher end "chains".
(4)Deborah P.
Four of us dined on a Saturday evening to celebrate an 85th birthday. The two flatbreads were delicious (shrimp, chicken). The salmon salad entree also got raves and i loved my trout with whole carrots and roasted potatoes. My partner did nt enjoy the pasta shrimp dish whcih didn't even look appetizing. Desserts as usual were yummy and the birthday boy's was on the house. DP
(4)Megan G.
The interior is nice, very much a chain restaurant though. Service was pleasant and attentive but it was annoying when our server used the exact same spiel, jokes and all, WORD FOR WORD, with several nearby tables. It seemed forced and cheesy. Ordered the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli with vegetables, roasted garlic, and fresh basil in a light tomato sauce. It was light, healthy and the perfect lunch option. It was actually less ravioli and more like veggies with goat cheese, not that I'm complaining or anything - I ate every last bite.. Bf had the mussels; they were alright but nothing special and kind of lacking flavor. We also had a side of brussel sprouts which we could have made better at home. I prefer my brussel sprouts to be a bit more crunchy but these were kind of soft and mushy. Had an excellent glass of ZD Chardonnay as well, which I was very excited to see on their menu. Great place to come with your family or for a light meal before headed out. Prices are reasonable for Coral Gables/Miami.
(3)Myner G.
I have heard a lot of hype about this place so I popped in for lunch the other day. I must say the actual set up and décor is on point and this is a great spot for lunch in the Gables. The only thing is that they like to make you wait, there were plenty of open tables I was able to see from where I was and yet we had to wait about 15 minutes even though we had reservations. Once we were seated, we got our menus and when I saw the prices I was shocked that it was pretty damn cheap compared to what I was expecting. I'm really big on customer service and it seems like people in Miami tend to be rude and can't figure it out. Our server Alanna had a huge smile and had the cheerleader approach. She made some good recommendations and I never once was out of water. This is the perfect spot for a nice lunch with out over paying. There are a lot of items for under $11 and if you do want something a little nicer they have some for $16-$18. The one thing I noticed all the dishes seem fairly healthy and fresh. Nothing is over salted and they actually go pretty light on the salt which is not normal in Miami, Latin's seem to douse everything with Salt and Garlic. Another great thing is they have some pretty good beers and they have premium Micros for under $6. Recommendations: Farmer markets vegetable plate Black Mussels Trout fillet Rosemary parmesan crispbread Drink: Jai Alai IPA Score Card: Service 5 stars Décor 4 stars Beer 5 stars Food 4 stars Having to wait 20 minute while it was not crowded 2 stars
(3)Samir V.
I can't fathom how people like this crappy flavorless food... I tried the one up in Tampa and it sucked. I gave this one a chance due to it's great reviews, and again, bland crappy food... Great service good atmosphere, but I came to eat and enjoy some food... I don't understand how it is so many people have such bad taste, it must be the location and all the cheesy wannabe foodies that exist in that area.. So many better options in the Gables than to be spending a dime on this chain.

Very pleased with Seasons 52. Not only was the staff able to handle a large party of notoriously particular-yet-indecisive diners with ease and patience, the food was great too! We were greeted and seated in a wonderful circular booth once our entire party had arrived. The host and server were professional, expeditious, and helpful.Two members in our party are very hard of hearing. It was difficult to hear the server because of his extremely quick and soft speaking voice, but I was able to persist and order my meal. Others in our party had to ask for clarification or just let words pass them by. The atmosphere is wonderful in Seasons 52. It is dark and romantic, yet lively because it accommodates groups well. A musician began playing and singing in the adjacent lounge area shortly after we arrived, which made it even more difficult to hear. Miami isn't known for its quiet restaurants, so what can you do. I was a little worried upon hearing that the restaurant doesn't use butter and that their dishes are relatively low on calories. I feared that I was going to spend my evening enduring tough, flavorless meat and accompaniments, but I was totally wrong. I got the pork tenderloin. It was absolutely delicious. We were there for a birthday celebration, and they brought out the tree of mini desserts at the end. I took only one even though the server offered more. That was a mistake! I had the peanut butter - chocolate get-up, and it was mouthwatering. It had the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and bitter between the chocolate sauce, peanut butter, and cream (ice and whip, if I recall correctly). Overall, I was very pleased with Seasons 52. I look forward to going back.
(4)Kiki L.
A+ for Service as always! I've been visiting Seasons ever since the opening month. The service has always been consistent. Even when it's packed they are always friendly and it's always worth the wait. The last visit was such an occasion where we didn't want to wait and opted for the bar on a Sunday Evening. As soon as we were seated our bartender/waitress was very receptive and greeted us immediately. She went over the menu and made suggestions and offered additional nutritional information. There was a piano singer that night and she was great. The atmosphere was lively, yet not too loud or overbearing. The food was consistent with how I've always found it, with one exception, my Filet Mignon. I requested medium temperature but it was very charred on the outside, still medium but I didn't care for the crisp outside. Appetizer soup of the day was filling. My friend had the Swordfish special, and it was cooked to perfection. Always love eating here because I never feel guilty after. It's appetizing and filling without leaving you overstuffed. The desserts are also the perfect size.
(5)Jose G.
Must have a flatbread as an appetizer. Menu is always changing but try the specials. Deserts are small and full of taste. Indulge...
(4)Lynn P.
I've eaten at the Boca Raton location of Seasons 52 many times, but happened upon this location on the occasion of my sister's birthday. She was visiting from Virginia and staying with our folks in Coral Gables, so on Saturday, May 12, 2012 we left the kids with the grandparents and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Seasons 52. We shared two appetizers and two salads; the server was happy to give us extra plates for this purpose, and it was fun trying different things. The produce and fish were fresh and delicious; I love the way that Seasons 52 gently dresses the salads--I want to taste the lettuces, not an overpowering dressing. Our server was clearly in training; our booth was near the kitchen and we heard him being educated a bit by someone in a chef's jacket, but he wasn't so new that he didn't yet have a business card! He handed me as I paid the check a Season's 52 business card that read: "Gilbert Gonzalez, Server" and was imprinted with the address and phone number of the Miracle Mile location. He was polite and even though he didn't seem to recognize the wines when we ordered them, he brought the correct bottles and poured without incident. This being my sister's first meal at a Season's 52, she especially enjoyed the mini indulgence desserts which Mr. Gonzalez described and served with aplomb. Delicious wine, (mostly!) healthy food, and excellent service--what more could anyone want? I dropped some cash on this meal but when my sister emailed me after she returned home to say that this meal had been the highlight of her Florida vacation, I considered it money well spent.
(5)Vachagan Y.
If you want to have a GREAT quality food in VERY upscale environment - Seasons 52 must be among your choices...
(4)Kristy K.
This is a place that I like to go eat on the Mile. The food is always good and I don't feel guilty for what I eat since it is healthy and under 500 calories. I tend to take clients here too since the ambience is more upscale, they have an extensive wine menu and their menu has a lot to offer. As such I've tried an array of things -- their flatbreads are always good, so are their apps the shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms and seared tuna, their bison burger for lunch and their filet for dinner or the chicken are good as well. Their seared tuna salad is also good as well. The mini desserts are similar to PF Chang's if you have ever had those and quite tasty. I like that their menu is always rotating so their is always something new and different to try. I'm a fan --healthy, tasty and not too terribly expensive for the Gables.
(4)Leslie S.
Excellent for those health conscious folks! All plates are under 475 calories and delicious! My husband and I have dined here several times and they have all been excellent experiences. They change their menu with every season so you can enjoy the foods that are in season.
(4)Kristy C.
The corn chowder and tomato flat bread were very good! I like that everything is healthy and low calorie. The food is good and the ambiance is very nice. I really enjoyed the live piano music as well. I'm a also a big fan of the little dessert cups! Yum!!
(4)Luis A.
Great place. Nice atmosphere and excellent service. The Branzino and the Cedar Plank Salmon were outstanding. They also had an excellent choice of mini desserts, which were the perfect size to avoid over indulgence.
(5)Michele M.
Amazing!!!! All around cant believe the food was so good and good for me. Not a heavy meal. Filet mignot was really really good and the pecan dessert to die for. Still can't believe it was under 475 calories
(5)Stacy S.
Creative and unique menu concept, beautiful restaurant, exceptional service and extensive wine list. Portobello, four cheese and truffle flatbread was amazing. Melissa working on the patio provided some of the best service we've had in Miami which was refreshing. We can't wait to go back and to bring friends!
(5)Eloise R.
Loved the food here. Went with a large group and the service was very good, quick and courteous. We tried different dishes and everyone liked what they ate. Also enjoyed the decor and ambiance.
(5)Libert R.
Can I give 6 stars??? Everything was excellent. Excellent food, excellent wine list, excellent service!!!!! We were four, we had the salmon, the chicken, the lamb, and the quail; we all were delighted with our plates. Desserts...to die for and I usually don't eat dessert. Very well priced, wine, two appetizers, four main courses, four desserts, and three espressos $198. Not bad at all!!!!
(5)Luis C.
Excellent food and ambiance, they took a little to serve the food and the place wasn't even packed, but the wait worth.
(4)Julie J.
I went with my boyfriend not too long ago since the place looks so nice in Miracle Mile. It has a big a beautiful bar. The restaurant itself is very pretty. The service is impeccable. The food is OK. I was expecting a little more taste to the food or maybe its just not my type of food. The menu is changed seasonly and has a variety of different foods. I ordered the burger they had and it was very small and not much taste to it. My boyfriend ordered a pasta which was mostly veggies. If you are a health nut and would like to go out to a nice restaurant and not feel bad about what you have eaten, then this is the place for you.
(3)Matthew G.
I've never been dissatisfied! The food is amazing and always fresh. You should definitely get an appetizer and some desert, because the entrees are of course limited in calories (great for watching your weight!). The service is great and very friendly.
(5)Anne M.
This is such a great restaurant, who ever came up with this idea is a genius. You can sample different foods and pair them with different wines and get a little taste of the entire menu without feeling like you over indulged. The flat breads are healthy and amazing and the desserts are a little slice of heaven and by that I mean you get a little slice of dessert and don't feel bad about it! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were knowledgeable and made some great suggestions!

On Saturday night, my friend and I decided to have dinner in the Gables area. We decided on Seasons 52 since I had never been there. The restaurant's décor was absolutely lovely and classy. Since we did not have reservations, we were slated to wait 1 hour, however, the hostess recommended we wait by the bar area. Luckily a booth opened up in the bar area and we were seated right away. Next time, I would make reservations. The service was exceptional. Our waitress checked on us several times throughout the meal and even though it was a packed house, our waitress did not skip a beat. She was efficient and friendly. The food..everything is under 475 calories, you basically get great quality food without the added calories. Also, each season brings in a new menu; we picked items from their autumn menu. We started out with the Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread and OMG, how good is this. It is a flatbread with melted parmesan cheese, spices and tomato's that sits atop a thin crust flatbread. It is amazing. For dinner, I chose the Oak Grilled Filet Mignon. The filet mignon was served with mashed potatoes, asparagus and carrots. Everything was cooked to my liking. I ordered the filet mignon medium rare and it was juicy, soft and tender. The mashed potatoes and vegetables were cooked perfectly. The meal was absolutely delish. For dessert, we had three of the mini desserts: red velvet, pumpkin cinnamon pie and a chocolate peanut butter mousse. Words can't describe how good these desserts were. Each one had a unique taste and the only flaw is that they are served in the mini glasses. Entertainment: the restaurant had a piano inside the bar with a singer, who sung beautifully to the great classics. The restaurant and food were just amazing. The portions are just right and although you are full you don't have that heavy feeling in your stomach. I definitely recommend this place. It is on the pricey side but I believe worth it. I can't wait to return and try items from their other menus.
(5)Elizabeth M.
LOCATION: My Hunny and I were in the mood to try something new and after reading a few reviews we decided to give Seasons 52 a try. When we arrived we were surprised of the location - right on Miracle Mile. The place was packed and everyone had a buzzer in hand. Boy, this place is going to give Houstons.. Hilstons (whatever) a run for their money! Nevermind the fact that we arrived 30 minutes early - something that we were proud of and almost never happens. Anyway we were HUNGRY! We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation time. DECOR: Cabin chic. EXPERIENCE: The waitress took her time telling us about the menu and how they have a new menu each week of the year- hence the 52 in the name. We were happy to hear that the meals are low calorie (475 to be exact) since we "try" to watch our weight. Finally a restaurant you can go to that doesn't add a pound of butter to every recipe - Sorry Paula Deen! The Manager was kind enough to come by towards the end of our meal. RECOMMENDATION: We had the Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread that everyone is raving about. My hunny loved it! I thought it was alright, no big deal. Kind of like a thin crust pizza. Entrees were good, not great. The small dessert cups are actually really good. I usually skip these kinds of desserts at other places like PF Changs - definitely try the Pecan Pie cup! Yummy! Overall I'd recommend the restaurant because you can go there, have a nice dinner without breaking the bank or the scale when you get home.
(4)Rob B.
My girlfriend and I went here for a celebratory drink and I was impressed right away. We went on a Monday night when it was a bit slow but the "piano man" played on. I'm a musician so I always appreciate good live music, which this definitely was in it's own semi-cheesy but totally perfect way. My understanding is there are five different guys who come in and play, but the guy we saw was sensational and genuinely appreciative of our applause. He broke out a jazz cover of Enrique Iglesias's "Tonight I'm *ahem* Loving You" which really tickled us and a beautiful rendition of Christopher Cross's "Sailing." The drinks were very good and reasonably priced for the area. The dessert martinis were especially good. Which brings me to the desserts...I was a big fan of the mango cheesecake! I look forward to going back for dinner one of these nights, which also looked very good.
(4)Michelle G.
Went to Season's 52 yesterday afternoon for a lunch with my husband, hoping to begin the new year's weight loss resolutions correctly. Everything on the menu is 475 calories or less (including the sides that come with the plate). This is very good for the health conscious! I imagined that the food would come out miniscule for this amount of calories, but the plates were normal sized and the food was absolutely delicious. I could not believe the amount of flavors infused in a dish of so little calories. I would most definitely return.
(4)Monica C.
Every girl has had a "I am on a diet" moment in her life. The worst that can happen when you are on a diet is to be invited out for a business lunch. However, Seasons 52 solves this for you. Every plate is guranteed to be under 475. The steak flat bread and the fish tacos were delish. I also tried the cookies and cream dessert which left me wanting more. To top it off, they now have a skinny martini. So on during that diet period (or not), head out to Seasons 52. You will not regret it.
(5)Michelle M.
Wow, is all I can say. Heard a lot about this place but was reluctant to try their healthy cuisine. The food was amazing, went for dinner and ordered off the Miami spice and everything was delicious and the portions were huge. Can't wait to go back !!
(5)Elba D.
Been here numerous times! They offer a seasonal menu which is nice. The Fruit Martini is Amazing! The Flatbreads are Yummy. My favorite is the Garlic Chicken. The Ceviche is good but a little on the Spicy side! And they offer a variety of mini Desserts which gives you the option of eating more than one! They are delicious! All of them. The nicest thing about this restaurant is the Piano Player in the Bar area. He plays a variety of genres and even takes requests Lol!
(4)Maxine V.
I came her for dinner but would only recommend it for lunch and drinks (AND DESSERT!!!). I got scallops. I must not have paid attention to the (small) menu. I assumed the scallops would be pan seared with an amazing crust on them but when I got them they were grilled. They were cooked well, I was just disappointed that they were not what I was expecting. That however is not the fault of the restaurant. Our server was great. They have a good wine selection, but the best part of the meal was the flat breads and dessert! O-M-G, they came out with the tray of desserts and you can just point to what you want and get it right then and there (great marketing). I ended up getting the pecan pie and the berry cannoli. I also got to try everyone else's choices. Our table ended up telling the server to leave all the desserts there. The cannoli cup was BY FAR THE BEST CHOICE!!! I would go back just for the flat bread, cannoli and wine. Just reviewing it is making me hungry for more!
(4)Jessica E.
Never a disappointment. The red velvet mini dessert is divine. Service is always great.
(4)Alina R.
I've been here many times for lunch and have never reviewed it. They have a lot going for them, in my book. They are consistent. It's nice to go there and always get impeccable service and delicious food (healthy, too!!) I've had their buffalo burger, fish tacos, flat breads, cedar-plank salmon, and I've yet to be disappointed. Their individual-sized desserts are really great for when you're in the mood for a scaled-down indulgence.
(5)Cc R.
Delicious meals that aren't too heavy, and perfectly-sized desserts! Plus, the pianist is amazing. I love that they change their menu with the seasons, too.
(4)Patricia W.
Came with a party of 14 people and the food and service exceeded my expectations. Often with large parties it can be a little chaotic and courses can get delayed but that didn't happen. Food and service were excellent. Love that when u order wine by the glass they allow u to taste it and the bartender made suggestions. The servers were super friendly and patient with us. It was a really great choice for a large birthday dinner.
(5)s s.
This is among my favorite restaurants in coral gables. The food is consistently delicious and the healthy, fresh options are amazing. Prices are a little bit high but you won't find anything comparable nearby.
(4)Michelle B.
From an open and friendly kitchen visible to all visitors to a tasty menu that only boasts items 475 calories or less, Seasons is putting its mantra where our mouths are and not our pounds. I would have to say that the only problem is during dessert. The 'mini indulgences', which are 3 oz. shot glasses that range from fruity favorites such as key lime pie to chocolaty rocky road, make me look like the Cookie Monster gone wild. So maybe I can't have just, one, two, three, four...STOP JUDGING ME. Anyways, to me, this place never disappoints.
(4)Kevin L.
Went there with another couple on a Saturday night. We had 7:45 reservations and decided to get there early (7:30) and have a few drinks at the bar. Walked right up to the bar, sat down and enjoyed great bar service. At 8:30, we were still waiting for a table. we decided, since there was open seating around the bar, that we would just sit there and order. We dined for over an hour and a half and it was fantastic. From the flatbreads appetizers to the Scallops, the Veal, the Shrimp. All so very delicous. The the little desert shots! Amazing! Now, my two little nit-picks. First, we waited over 45 minutes past our reservation time before we took it upon ourseves to just sit in the bar. It really didn't seem that busy. Second, it was a very humid night and since we were sitting in the bar it was very hot. We asked the server if there was anything she could do and she stated that she would close one of the glass door that are in front. However, they have theses little bar tables out there and all of them had patrons so the couldn't close the doors. That aside, I would definitely return. The food was so good and everyone was so friendly that I can easily overlook two minor issues.
(4)Veronica D.
WOW! what great food, from their selection of low calorie flat breads to their large selection of entrees under 450 calories. Not to mention their deserts that are perfectly portioned and brought to you ready to eat. Their service is also impeccable! I ordered the Fillet Mignon and unfortunately the kitchen messed up on the order twice. The manager comped my meal and the bottle of wine. He also made it a point to excuse the mistake a number of times. I was very impressed by the his professionalism and service recovery standards that he exemplified. I will definitely be coming back for another meal!!!!! yum yum yum!
(5)Maria B.
Went for my birthday, they had a birthday card on the table for me. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered flatbread, the goat cheese ravioli, steak, wine . . . it was all perfect. Our waitress was a sweetheart gave us excellent service. Loved the piano at the bar & the decor was lovely. Can't wait to return.
(4)Ting W.
Food here was great. I ordered a Sangria, then finished, then ordered another one. First one had strawberries all the way to the top, perfect mixture of all the ingredients. The second one tasted like they were trying to pull a fast one on me. Filled with grenadine and club soda with no fruit. Yuck, sent it back. The flat bread appetizers were good. Although I wouldn't say "to die for" and my pasta meal with shrimp was decent. I'd like to try other items.
(3)Dianna R.
The best thing about Seasons 52 is the fresh menu! Vegetables are seasonal and fresh. And there are many organic, cage free options for various menu items. This is rare in a moderately priced restaurant. The service was ok - I think the servers are still new and learning. The live piano and singer in the bar area was great!! Can't beat a live piano!
(4)Isabelle D.
The actually entree I had was not good at all. The only reason why I am giving them any stars at all is for their desserts. They are amazing. I will come again just for them. Probably drink at the bar and eat desserts, which is perfectly fine with me.
(3)Lourdes W.
Is this my favorite place? No, but I will come here because it's healthy and it's in a good location for me. It's nice to know that everything is under 500 calories and you can taste it. I've been here for lunch and dinner and I cannot say that I've been "wow'ed" any of those times. I will say that they have the best edamame I've had because they actually give you a bowl of salt to dunk it in as opposed to coming pre-salted like everywhere else. I have had the stuffed shrimp with artichoke, which was decent. I also have tried the trout and the scallops. The scallops had a sweet flavor to it because of the sauce they used, it comes with asparagus and a pearl pasta which was also rather sweet. The trout is probably the better tasting dish I've had here, but it's generally not my seafood preference. I have yet to sit in the main dining room, because it's always full. Service could be better. In fact, they forgot to put in the order, so the manager took care of our desserts, coffee, and drinks. Please try the red velvet mini-dessert. You will not be disappointed. Interestingly, over the weekend, they had some live entertainment which was a guy playing a piano inside the bar. He kept stroking classic dinner hits, but it wasn't until he did a "I'm a Genie in a Bottle/ Ganster's Paradise" mash-up that he got any applause. Seasons 52 doesn't get a standing O from me, but more like a slow clap.
(3)Kenny G.
It all started looking through Yelp for a great place to eat.. Surely I found Seasons 52 and looked through some great reviews and off I was to try it out for myself! The location is great if you just want to walk around and enjoy the day, and once you get there, you are greeted by the nicest staff in Miami. The menu is full of food that is great ( and it changes through out the year, ask the waitress to give you the background), and also great for you. Everything is low calorie BUT do not get confused... it is awesome. They have a great list of Wines if your into that (we weren't but the waitress insisted that we did), and if your not I still recommend trying at least one, these guys know their stuff about it. The desserts... WOW. Run out there as soon as you can, its really worth it btw, ask for Heather... she will take care of all your questions and is a great waitress.

I ordered the lamb mini t-bone. The lamb was decent but was very difficult to eat with a fork and knife because of the bone. The asparagus was very crunchy and lacked taste for me. The mashed potatoes were EXTREMELY garlicky. Overall, I would recommend this dish.

This restaurant is extraordinary! The name says it all! The food changes by every season of the year to give you a fresh meal at every visit. Their are certain items that change every week, giving you the 52 weeks a year. On top of that everything is under 475 calories but that doesn't mean the food is tasteless, it's full of flavor, its just more like the "right portion" one should eat. My boyfriend and I had one of their marvelous flatbreads, mushroom and shrimp goat cheese appetizer, and the pork tenderloin, don't get scared! That goat cheese tastes amazing and the flatbreads are to die for. When you go ask for Heather she is VERY sweet and explains everything! Don't leave without a dessert! These little delicacies will leave you dying for more, but don't forget these are the right portion at a great price. :) enjoy!

My wife and I have to Season 52 twice in the last several months. Season 52 is an all organic restaurant and all of the meals are under 475 calories. We had the Filet Mignon, scallops and a salad. The servers are always nice and professional and the prices are reasonable. The only complaint I have is every time we go to Season 52 they act as if we need a reservation. But the restaurant is never full, its a little annoying but we overlook it because of the food and service.

Ate here for lunch--everything was delicious! Will be back!

I love the food and wine here. The concept is fab - every item on the menu is under 450 calories and they offer fresh, in-season vegetables, hence the name refers to 52 weeks of the year. Even the desserts are under 450 calories, and of course they are TINY. I always order a fish entree with vegetables. The flat breads are good too. The decor reminds me of an upscale ski lodge: dark woods, fireplace, dark leather chairs. Come for a nice happy hour near the bar (although they don't have any happy hour prices) or a romantic, candlelit dinner in the main dining area.

This place was a great find. My wife and I had passed by a few times but never had the chance to go. After reading some reviews, we decided to try it and were not let down. The food was amazing. We started with the lobster bisque from the specials menu. It's not a set item but if they have it I strongly recommend it. My wife had a tuna salad which was great and my son had grilled chicken from the kids menu (also very tasty). I had the Grouper Mayan (also from the specials menu) and it was excellent! I never knew 475 calories could taste so good. We finished the night with two deserts (each was served in what looked like big shot glasses). They bring a tray of 6 or 7 of them for you to choose from. The presentation of the food was perfect and the service was too. The entertainment was impressive as well. There was a woman playing the piano and singing popular songs which added to the whole experience. The piano is actually behind the bar. Great place. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

While I am not a big fan of chain restaurants, this one was really good! I love that they cook only with seasonal foods! We showed up late, almost 11 p.m. but our food was very good and the service was on point.
(4)Natasha M.
I could come here and stuff my face with flatbreads and leave 100% satisfied. Those things were amazing. The decor, the atmosphere,the service, the food: everything is great. The restaurant is huge! They have private dining rooms for parties, the main dining room with a view to the kitchen (in a somewhat cool way), and then the side bar with several booths and even a piano player playing different tunes. A nice place to dine, best for a special occasion.
(5)Ivette B.
Mediocre at best. Gets 2 stars bc of the location and the decor - it is very pretty inside. Went there with my bf and his fam. we all ordered diff things and tried a variety of the winter menu items - flatbreads, Mac n cheese, and goat cheese ravioli for appetizer and filet, beef tenderloins, lamb, and scallops for dinner. Eh - nothing really wowed us. Also, the waitress poured red wine all over my bf's dad. At least they offered to dry-clean his jacket...
(2)Janina A.
I went here for my 30th Birthday and LOVED it! The food is great, the decor is lovely, and the service is top notch! I really have nothing negative to say about this place. They even gave me a souvenir photo of my party. Great way to remember my 30th. Thank you!!

I had a really great dining experience at Seasons 52. The service was excellent, as well as all of the menu items we ordered- they even brought us samples of the soups (which were amazing I must add) We sat outside, since we had a dog with us, and they even brought bread for the puppy. I thought that was super friendly. Kudos :) If you are having trouble picking what to eat, start off with one of the flatbreads. They are super light and full of flavor- We tried the Plum Tomato with basil...thin, crispy, a perfect starter! Everything looked super tasty on the menu, but here's my recommendation: go for the specials. I ordered a curry shrimp roll with avocado accompanied with a fresh mango and jicama salad with wild greens and a tangy tropical dressing- it was divine. It was perfect for a well balanced lunch. Super friendly service, pet friendly and delicious- I'll be back!

Yay, a Seasons 52 in the Gables! I have been a couple times to the location in Fort Lauderdale and I am a big fan. Last week I tried out the new spot with fellow yelper Janelle and my best friend. We went for lunch and there was no wait, but talk is get ready to wait if you come for dinner. Spicy -- Buffalo Chili -- perfect amount... and it had a little kick to it as well. Big chunks of meat in it, black beans, DELICIOUS BBQ Chicken Salad -- Yummy. I have had this before and again it was great. Greens, spinach, corn, bbq chicken, roasted red peppers, pumpkin seeds and blue cheese -- can it get any better? Desserts -- I love their selection plus the shot glasses are perfect when you just want something sweet after dinner but dont want an entire dessert. I had the key lime pie and I wanted more :) Medium -- Steak and mushroom flatbread -- it was pretty good considering i don't like mushrooms too much. Their flatbreads are a must get... love. Mild -- nothing really. My friends enjoyed their meals and their cocktails also :) If you are in the Gables this is a definite spot to check out!

Nice atmosphere, romantic lighting, and the smell of wood burning as you enter. Those were my first impressions. We only came here for drinks so I can not comment yet on the food. There was live piano music and singing which added to the lovely relaxing atmosphere. I'll be back for more.
(4)Misha M.
Well - it happened again: another email follow up promising a live "fixer" of my experience... and nothing again! Ladies and gentlemen, Season 52 has a "robot-review-answerer". Pretty much in the vein of how their food is prepared :) Skip it!

The interior of this new restaurant sports an Arts and Crafts design via Greene and Greene. It is nice and warm and cozy thanks to lots of wood and stone and carpet. There are two nice large window walls that open completely to the sidewalk, one on the dining side and one on the bar side. It is a nice touch, especially this time of year when they can open the room to the street activity. The restaurants claim to fame is healthy eating and freshness, hence the name Seasons. They supposedly change the menu four times a year featuring seasonally appropriate fare and all of the menu items are under 475 calories. I was able to take advantage of the complementary dining offer twice for lunch. The first time I had the "Greek" Salad and the Grilled Swordfish Special. The salad was pretty good with large chunks of cucumber and feta and lots of kalamata olives but the transparent slices of tomato was pretty sad. The swordfish was cooked a bit more than I like it but it was not over done. It was served on a bed of bok choy, mushrooms and rice, both the fish and the vegetables were excellent. I had the shot of lemon pound cake for dessert. The desserts are minuscule in order to keep them under 475 calories. For my second lunch, I had the chili and the fish tacos. The large pieces of meat in the chili were a bit tough otherwise it was good but not Houston's good. The fish tacos suffered from being too healthy. The taco looked like it was whole wheat, but I am not positive, and the fish was grilled and not fried. It was no Baja Fish Taco but it could probably be saved by just changing the taco shell. The wine list is extensive with about 60 wines by the glass. Since they don't have a cruvinet I would hope that they have a lot of turnover on the wine otherwise there is a possibility that you may be ordering an old wine. Luckily, the wines that I had were very good if a bit overpriced based on the stingy pours. I had the Catena Malbeck, the Schug Pinot and the TENZ and Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blancs. The only disappointment was the TENZ, the Schug was excellent if really expensive. I must return and try some additional items, the seared scallops that the person sitting next to me ordered looked delicious.

The decor and ambience of the restaurant is so nice. It reminds me of a ski lodge! It's not loud inside, and the staff are so friendly the moment you walk in through the door, calling you by your name. The food is good. We had the artichoke stuffed shrimp and grilled swordfish and they were delicious. There is an excellent wine selection, and if you're afraid of buying a glass of wine that has the potential of gone bad, don't be. My table had three different wines and none of them had oxidized. Best part of the food: it's good for your calorie counting. Including the desserts. Which were excellent. I have a huge sweet tooth so I was skeptical about the size of the dessert being satisfying, but it truly was. I had the rocky road, and you think that little cup is only four bites but I managed to take at least 10. As far as price wise, it's not too bad. A glass of wine averaged around $11, the entree dishes were around $20, and I believe the desserts were around $8. I'll be back.

They are officially opening on the 15th of November, but for now, they are offering the opportunity to sample their menu and their service for the next few days. Very nice place, it will no doubt be a hit in Miracle Mile, the decor is unique and modern and obviously, thus far, the service has been flawless as they are in training and there is a visible presence at all times. Something tells me that this level of quality and service will remain and it will be a breath of fresh air in Miami, I will no doubt return and update this review as I become more acquainted with the place and they roll out in full force. Something that is uniquely cool is how they rotate their menu to match the season - As of right now, I have tried their scallops for appetizer and the Fillet Mignon and I can say that both dishes were absolutely fantastic. I work literally across the street from this place, so I am looking forward to being a regular here. Stay tuned - updates to come, but in the meantime definitely see for yourself...go to Seasons 52 and give it a try -
(5)Jamie N.
I really liked the atmosphere of the bar. It is very large with first come first serve seating. The guy playing the piano is really good and they have the volume just right. The service was great and our food came fast. Both my bf and I are very health conscious so we appreciate the thought behind this restaurant. We started with the flat bread which was tasty but could have been a bit more crisp. Then we had the stuffed mushrooms with shrimp and crab. The dish wasn't what I expected it was going to be (was thinking big mushrooms on a plate that would be stuffed) but it was still good. I think I would skip this the next time, though, and try something different. I had the scallops for dinner and my bf had the fish over rice. I would love to have the sauce for the fish with the scallops! Portions are what a portion should be, not what most people expect from a restaurant. Overall, both our meals were a bit above average, but when trying to stay under a certain number of calories, there is not too much that can be done! We each got one of the desserts and felt that the shot glass size was really filling. Overall, I thought this was a good place to go. I really appreciate the concept and I think you have to be aware of it before going, otherwise, you may feel disappointed. Seems like a great place to grab a drink!!! We will definitely go back :)
(4)Alex B.
Gotta give 4 stars just cuz it's a pretty good place with healthy food. Can't beat the fact that most dishes are under 500kcal. That in its self is amazing. Service is always good. Very nice ambiance. The flatbreads are great!
(4)sheryl a.
I've been to this place a number of times and the more I go, the less I enjoy it. Last night beat the cake. While we were finishing our meal at a booth in the bar area, I "felt" someone, it was a man and a women, standing right over my left shoulder. He said "I don't mean to be rude, but we are waiting for your table". When my daughter and I came in we went to the hostess and told her a table for two and she had someone escort us over to our table. I don't know how this couple managed to just walk thru. Maybe they thought it was a sports bar! The food was just okay. I think the best "season" is the fall menu. Considering there are more places in the Gables that serve really good food, Seasons 52 needs to step up their game.

GREAT restaurant. Fresh ingredients, ever-changing menu with the season and what's naturally abundant at the time. Great calorie distribution, if you like that kinda thing. Portions are appropriate, including desert, which is under 200 cal. All such tasty food, well prepared, and moderately priced. Nice wine selection. Good music and atmosphere. Nice wait staff. A+ I always go here when in Miami, pretty much every month.

Went on Saturday 8/23/14 and tried their Miami Spice Menu, we got there right at 7pm and tehre was no waiting, we were seated immediately which was great on a Saturday night. First time visiting and will not be the last. The Spice menu is $39 per person for a 4 Course meal. We ordered both Flat Breads on the menu, include a Spinach and Raspberry Salad which was good if you like spinach, for entree tehy have 3 or 4 choices, we both ordered the 6oz Fliet and it was soooo good, melt in your mouth tender. Cooked to prefection. I ordered medium well as I do not like to see blood in my meat and it was tender all the way to the end. Comes with Veggies and Mashed Potatoes. For dessert they bring an assortment of shooters for you to choose one and after that big meal a small treat is just what you need. We ordered a bottle of wine and with taxes it was under $120 for 2 adutls and one child which is pretty reasonable for the Gables. Loved the live pianist and the service was awsome. Great place for meetingf or cocktals or dine in. Will be back for sure!
(5)Janelle B.
Its been quite some time since I found a place where the servers are all super friendly and so attentive. Drew, our server last night, is hands down the sweetest ever! Our dinner consisted of the seared tuna salad as the appetizer, which was excellent, and the lamb chops with mashed potatoes, which was also very good. Everything on the menu is supposed to be low calorie, but nothing tasted as if it was. For dessert I had the Oreo shot, which was delicious and just the right size!
(5)Kelly O.
The place is cozy and looks ill placed in Miami where most places are sleek and modern. The decor is a welcomed change to the usual except for the fabric on the chairs and booths which screams out 90s. I'm sure the restaurant will do well on mircale mile but for me I doubt I will go back often. It's great to have a healthy food option here but I left hungry and was not satisfied. The buffalo chili was delicious and a good portion but the flatbreads were almost nonexistent. I don't think it is humanely possible to roll out that dough anymore than they do. The crab stuffed mushroom were great and hard to believe not too caloric. I'm not a fan of the mini desserts however. I think if I am in the mood for a light lunch or a glass of wine and an appetizer I would head to Seasons 52 but if I am hungry and looking for a dinner spot I would never think to come here.
(3)Tania G.
NEW FAV place on the mile! LOVE the piano player @ the bar! We have been several times now and the most memorable server so far has been Daniella, she rocked! Great service and this is my BIGGEST pet peeve! Since i am a snobby eater! I like what i like the way i like it, you know! Wine is always a great choice! I rather the bar "informal" side with outside sitting area than the "formal" dinner area.... THE FISH TACOS during lunch are fantastico! and the plum ripe tomato flat bread...DROOL! and top all the above goodness with (2 if you feel a sweet / sour tooth) Meyer Lemon dessert...ahhhh...LOVE in your mouth! nuff said!
(4)Danny R.
Honestly, my wife wanted to try something new, which is a nice tradition we've started as of late. She had heard about this place from some family, and boy were they right about it. Fantastic food, REASONABLY priced (unlike most good food in Miracle Mile), and an atmosphere that will rival any of the Mile restaurants. Give this place enough time and it's bound to become a tourist must have, if you ask me. Since their menu varies seasonally, hard to tell if my recommendation will still be there when you go, but here goes. I had the Rainbow Trout, which I figured would be less tasty since it's not a native fish, but also was cheaper than some of the other seafood ($16). Honestly, I was REALLy surprised by how juicy and flavorful it was! Again, for a reasonable price!!
(4)Tessie B.
This place is great!! Everything is under 475 calories and majority of the dishes are organic. If you don't care about any of that - the food is extremely yummy. Their menu changes with the seasons and I think that's what keeps me coming back! Not only does their main course menu change but their drinks and dessert change as well. The flatbreads are a must. I've tried several things on the menu and everything is extremely tasteful. Don't forget to eat dessert! Great portion and great price. What I love about this place is that I don't leave feeling gross like I completely pigged out. The food is light, but filling at the same time. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to the next season. :)
(5)Mark H.
Was greeted by our fantastic waitress Lorena who made the evening and the experience. Great on suggestions and service. This place is a must and smart on your waistline. Love the whole concept. Make sure you get Lorena!
(4)jen r.
i was a impressed with the decor and feel of the restaurant. dim lighting, cozy and tables far enough apart that it caters to some privacy. however as kelly o mentioned the fabric used to upholster the seats is outdated. i was a little underwhelmed with the food, but am genuinely excited to have a healthy option in the gables (which is otherwise a haven for steak houses and italian restaurants). i had the cuban flatbread which shockingly tasted exactly like a cuban sandwich. the stuffed mushrooms were awesome!! and the goat cheese ravioli was kind of small but delicious - you just really better like goat cheese, because the flavor is overpowering. had a taste of the chili which was one of the best ive ever had! i oredered the chocolate peanut butter mousse for dessert that i felt like licking the shot glass in came in because it was just that good!! overall the restaurant is nice, the service was eager (actually i was annoyed at how eager they were to clear our plates, even when there was still food on them) and the prices were fair. i think this is a great addition to the gables scene.

Went in for lunch on a Thursday, it was busy with business. I sat at the bar while I waited for my table and my friends to arrive. I ordered a Sunshine Martini, very delicious. They infuse their vodka and there are several types to try. We were seated promptly by the hostess, the server followed and was very nice and polite. We asked several questions and he was happy to give us plenty of info on the dish. Every item on the lunch menu is less than 475 calories which is nice if you are constantly dieting like I am. We ordered the caramelized crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, then proceeded to order. I had the fish tacos... they were delicious. My friend ordered the spicy chicken chile relleno which she let me try and it was great also. Just enough food to fill you up but not too excessive. Very nice atmosphere, helpful staff, very nice for anytime of the week.
(4)Sandy L.
First time there. Food was excellent,well prepared and quick service. Nice bar. The flatbreads were to die for.I couldn't believe each dish was under 475 calories. For those that seriously count calories this place should be your next dinner destination. Great caloric value. portions were just right and with the calorie savings I was able to have a dessert. We had swordfish, tuna tartar,scallops and trout, all of which were excellent choices. I can't wait to go back and eat more of their healthy and delicious choices.....and now for the deserts.. Our jaws dropped as they presented 12 transparent shot glasses, each filled with a unique and scrumptious dessert, we each ine dessert and we enjoyed every last bite. I have subsequently eaten there and its still great and exceeds expectations . It is so busy I have to sit at the bar. .....Sandor Lenner

The food is always fresh and tasty, and service is great.

Season's 52 is always a good pick for lunch with coworkers. Great service, great flow and great original food. Worth the trip.
(5)Arlynes H.
The place is super nice...I love the decor, but most of all I love the food, we ordered appetizers, main course, salad and desert.I am sure that there is options for every appetite. They have a piano bar that makes the place even more likable. The atmosphere invites you to stay and taste the great organic selection, with low calories options. I really recommend this restaurant.
(5)Mercy D.
We absolutely love this place. Everything is delicious. The service is excellent. Daniella was our waitress and she never missed a beat. The decor is also very trendy. Live music at the bar. Definitely on my list of restaurants that I love.

yummy!!!!
(4)Natasha S.
I really wanted to like this place when I walked in. The decor is very new school steakhouse with the dark wood and wine bottles everywhere. There is also a piano player which I thought was a nice touch. We got the flatbread with tomatoes and basil. It was subpar at best. The ends where burnt and the Parmesan cheese was also burnt. Next we had the roasted shrimp with pasta and the filet mignon. I tried the shrimp and it was delicious. I cannot say the same about my steak. It was low quality and rare in the center and well done on the outside. I also ordered the salad with raspberries and those where very good. Maybe this place is more of a salad and fish place. The mini desserts where very good and just the right size. The service was excellent and the staff was very accommodating. I really like the concept of this place where they keep in season and under 475 calories. I still don't know if I'll give them another chance.
(2)J M.
I'll let eveyone else go on and on about the decor and food. I'm going to give you a tidbit that you can use on your next date to show you know a little something extra about this place. Notice the 52 etched onto the wine glasses? It's not just there to make sure you don't run off with the glass as a souvenir. Did you know that they etch the 52 on the wine glasses so that you will always get a consistent pour of 6 ozs regardless of the shape of the glass. :) I do love their mini-desserts. I'll take one of everything.
(5)Jessica R.
I love this place! I tried this place last weekend and already can't wait to go back. Both the food and the service were great. Anyone that goes must try the flatbreads. They're legit. The menu at seasons is interesting. First, it's seasonally inspired. Second, everything listed is under 475 calories. Nothing is low fat or low carb. It's just an appropriate portion.
(5)Miggy F.
Very healty and tasty, a bit pricy for the what you get, but you can't go wrong with this place for a light lunch!
(3)Oz F.
Been to this Seasons 52 twice, once (weekend dinner) the service and food was fantastic. My second visit (Saturday morning lunch) the service was awful and food was average at best. I would probably visit again for dinner but never again for lunch.
(3)Robert D.
As good as it gets!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Flat Breads are all amazing and the goat cheese ravoili is incredible.
(5)Miami Diva D.
excellent food! It's nice to go somewhere and not have to count my calories because they do it for me. The waiter training had drastically improved. That's a big deal for me!
(4)Raul V.
A great place for a date, just make sure you do not share the entree and you have money to spend. The food was amazing but they serve too little to share. A little expensive as well but the service and restaurant it self was great.
(4)Christina C.
Over Christmas break, I went here to meet some friends and catch up as well as try a new flavor in Coral Gables. I had already heard so many good things about this place that I was excited! But, I had hear that the service what somewhat slow. Depsite my hesitance, there we went... Dinner was great; I sampled the Maui Tuna Crunch Salad and loved it. The portion was perfect and not overwhelmingly large like in many other restaurants these days. The menu showed a selection of very healthy and tasty plates, but this is what caught my eye. I also, had a few glasses of wine, which were good, but a little on the expensive side. The bill was a little above what I like to pay for dinner, but all in all that was not my main complaint. Stay tuned so you can hear about the service! Our waitress was a lovely person; very sweet and attentive, but the service could not have been slower. Upon hearing that my friend wanted to receive the check as soon as possible, she proceeded to leave us waiting over 20 minutes to receive the check. While I realize the place was full that evening and they are or were a brand new restaurant working out the kinks, it's something the management should really anticipate and work against. Otherwise, I had a very pleasant evening and greatly enjoyed my meal. Specifically, while I was there I got a peek at their luxurious and spacious bar in a separate room entirely. I would like to try this out some time, hopefully soon. And, I may return for dinner in the future when I leave a little more time to wait and don't have my impatience stamped on my forehead :)
(3)David C.
Everything about this place works... The service is perfect, the ambiance is amazing, the drinks are great and of course the food... It is such a pleasant experience to know that the food you are eating is healthy and not swimming is butter and fat. Some things t try... ... Stuffed Mushrooms ... Any Flat bread ... The Chili ... Any fish dish The menu is always changing like the seasons, so you will not get bored. You eat well and feel great after, what a novelty!!!

FIrst a warning - I got a parking ticket at 9:12 PM while enjoying my dinner at Seasons52. I was parked right outside the door. So parkers beware the CIty of Coral Gables is out fining you for parking while you are spending money in the local businesses..... at 9PM.... Really????? We had another great dinner at Seasons52 in Coral Gables. The service was excellent, the food as advertised, I had the salmon, prepared perfectly and tasty. We had a group of 11 ppl and all enjoyed their visit. As usual the mini desserts were great and a huge hit. Always a winner.
(4)Christine V.
love that place , specially the bar area where you can enjoy a glass of cava with a amazing flat bread !
(5)Janet D.
A good for you addition to Miracle Mile. I paid what looks to be the first of many visits to Seasons 52 this past Saturday. It was early so we had no problem grabbing a booth by the bar and proceeded to have a delicious and pleasant meal.Each of the dishes we tried were full of flavor and decent size portion (we were leary having heard this was a "healthy" spot. The Cuban flatbread (unique to this location) The goat cheese ravioli (so good) The fish tacos (yummy wheat tortilla and just enough kick) The tortilla soup (really tasty) The dessert are not only adorable, but delicious as well. All in all, I thought the menu was nicely varied and not overwhelming and I will certainly be back for more!

In a city where I am pretty consistently disappointed with service and quality, Seasons 52 is a very refreshing reminder that there are still some restaurants out there that get it. ***It should be noted that every dish on their menu is guaranteed to be 475 calories or less. They have extensive nutritional information on their website if you are closely monitoring your calorie intake. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by friendly staff that immediately took care of us. The decor was lovely and has a very warm, Colorado lodge feel. The staff is very attentive, very friendly and very capable. Their prices are very reasonable and you can make your meal as light or heavy as you like. The flatbreads are all delicious and would make a great light snack on their own. Their menu changes completely every 3 months to reflect what is in season and fresh at that time...an amazingly wonderful concept. They also have specials that change every week. The restaurant just feels healthy, fresh and overall...right. They have a lovely outdoor area where you can sit on a pleasant day or night and enjoy a glass of one of the 60 wines they offer by the glass (and of course a few flatbreads.) This is a place I very much look forward to returning to. As I mentioned before, they really got it right with the quality of service they provide...a rarity in Miami these days.

So I went to Season's 52 this past weekend with a large group of friends. I had never heard of it, but there are so many new restaurants popping up on the Mile lately, its hard to keep track of them. The restaurant has a nice upper scale ambiance, kind of like Carraba's. It is a chain that tries to feel like its not a chain. The theme of their menu is to use only fresh produce and meats that are in season. I would consider their menu to be American fusion of sorts. They were offering a pre-fixe menu this evening and I decided to go with it, just for the sake of being able to try a larger number of dishes. I started out with the mushroom caps stuffed with crab and shrimp, which I thought sounded good. When it came to us they were covered in mozzarella cheese and parsley, which made me apprehensive since seafood tends to be better when left to its own seasonings. The shrimp were half the size of cocktail shrimp and the tasted like sausage. It was quite odd to be eating shrimp, that looked like shrimp, but tasted exactly like sausage. It wasn't a good thing. Most everyone else in our group who ordered them thought they were pretty bad as well. One guy even joked about swallowing them whole with his beer because he was just hungry, however I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.... Since we were a large group (20 people) it understandably took awhile for our orders to arrive. Apparently they do not serve bread to ward off hungry lions at Season's 52. I really think any good restaurant should serve bread, its a great investment to keep customers from grumbling. The salad came next. It was a simple spinach salad with raspberries, gorgonzola cheese, and pinenuts. It had a vinagrette on it of some sort, it was actually quite sour and didn't really go well with the rest of the salad. Too many sour flavors and not enough sweet to balance it out properly. Again, fresh bread or croutons would work wonders here. I ordered the Salmon on a cedar plank for my entree and my husband ordered the Filet Mignon. My salmon was cooked to perfection and was lovely. Very interesting to see it cooked on a plank of cedar wood, I had never had salmon like this before. The meal came with steamed carrots, red potatoes, and steamed asparagus. Unfortunately they were not good. The carrots were bland, the potatoes were half way cooked, and the asparagus was tough and overcooked. The vegetables were only seasoned with the barest of salt and pepper. I think the chef wants you to appreciate the freshness of the vegetables and their natural flavors, which you probably could if they had been cooked properly. My husband's filet mignon was very good, nearly everyone else at the table ordered it as well. His vegetables had also been mistreated like mine, except for the mushrooms which were tasty. So he traded me his mushrooms for the half of my red potatoes that were cooked. The filet mignon came with a plum style barbeque sauce which I thought was a bit unconventional with a good quality steak. I had the mini Meyer lemon dessert in a cup and my husband had the Baklava. They were great and everyone else at the table loved their desserts. So the night ended well. The portions were full sized which is surprising as most restaurants try to skimp for pre-fix meals and the wait staff was pretty good. Their were a few small dings, it seemed they weren't used to managing large groups. Everyone had to ask for steak knives after their entrees arrived and the waitresses just slid them across the table without wrapping them in a napkin which I thought was a bit unsanitary. So a few pointers for a restaurant that is trying to be upscale. The food here is ok, but it seems like the menu was put together without testing it out on real people. Some things are good, but there is an overall blandness to most of the dishes which is disappointing since the idea of using seasonal/local foods seems like a good one. I would have much preferred going to Angelique which is also on the Mile and has excellent Euro fusion cuisine.

What a pleasant surprise. I was in the Miracle Mile area today around lunch and remembered hearing something about Seasons 52, so I thought I would stop by for a bite. I looked at the menu and thought 475 calories (everything is under 475 calories on the menu) - these must be some tiny portions! I was wrong. First, the chef brought out an amuse bouche of shrimp on top of a tropical salad. A very nice start. And quite the surprise considering that it was lunch. I then had the chipotle shrimp flat bread. Very good flavors - and honestly, a huge amount of it... and then the goat cheese raviolis came out. Once again, a very large portion and solid flavors. I'm shocked that these portions were under 475 calories - but apparently there is no frying and no butter in the preparation. Honestly, I didn't miss butter or frying. On top of it, the service was quite polite and attentive. The staff seem quite intent on ensuring everyone has a quality experience. I did sneak a peek at the dessert tray - and this is where portion control does kick in for the 475 calories... it all looked marvelous though... but shockingly I was full, and had a doggy bag to bring the extras home. Who would have thought?

I'm officially a fan of this tasty and healthy eatery. And I heart the fact that they change the menu every season. All about it. Try the mushroom flatbread, the burger and you can't leave without having the oreo dessert. Yumm!

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants, ever. Are you going to have to sit and wait forever for a table, even if you have a reservation? Yes. But it's so worth it. Once you're at a table they are super fast and take care of you. Last time we had Joel as our server and he was fantastic. Favorite drink: Strawberry Basil Fusion. Perfect hint of strawberry without being overly sweet and sugary. Tastes fresh. $11 which isn't all that bad considering they fill up your martini glass and then give you the shaker which has more drink in it. Yum. I also love that if you order wine at dinner the waiter will pour the glass at your table instead of doing it in the back. It's a nice touch. Favorite dish: Honestly- all of em! I've never had anything bad. These are my favorites: -Earthbound Farm's Organic Arugula Salad: big chunks of goat cheese, not too much dressing, love the beets -Caramelized Sea Scallops: last time I think there were 8 scallops on my plate cooked perfectly, i subbed spinach for the asparagus and it was sooo good -Tuna & Avocado Roll: this was on special when I went, just as good as anything I've had in a sushi restaurant -Spicy Chipotle Shrimp Flatbread: the smoky chipotle mixed with the sweet pineapple is so good Also, it's a sin if you don't get one of the mini indulgences. My favorites are the carrot cake and peanut butter chocolate ones.

A "very nice" experience overall. Very nice is the most impersonal term when describing food and probably the most overused words out of the servers mouth. Consistent with the feel of Coral Gables itself; artificial. The food however was tasty and appropriately priced for the flavor. Quantities quantities. I understand how they are able to sneak everything in under their calorie limit. ordered four appetizers total and two entrees for two people; leaving not a speck on any plate and eventually after an excess of chewing felt sated. Live piano player = WTF? is this a high end department store? piano is BEHIND the bar...... strange On a very positive note if you are looking for a table and a very negative note if you are sitting; the bar has booths and tables that are first come first serve. You have to walk around and see how far people are through their meal (which is where it is awkward to see people lingering and strategizing for your table) and hope you get lucky if you don't want to wait traditional style.... I was very lucky after being quoted 1.5 hours to wait less than 10 minutes. It did require me to postpone smiling so that I could sport my seriously don't even f*ing try it face....no one did try it.. and I got my table : ) I could feel disdain from a few servers who forgot they were servers and not models. Either that or they continue to suffer silently through the indignation from having to wait on people they find contemptible. Pretty servers who can smile through a massacre are not enough to convince me of anything. If you like everything all the time then you will love it here. If you are looking for amazing anything just keep looking. If you are trying to eat in a "very nice" atmosphere on the cheap... do it.. most expensive entree was only 25. And even with bitter servers the flavors of the food(which remain unaffected) are a fair trade for this price point.

Because of the short week, I had my regular lunch out with my boss and co-worker today. Together we all experienced the new Seasons 52 that just opened on Miracle Mile. I ordered the blackened fish tacos, a cappuccino, and couldn't turn down a double shot glass dessert of a mocha chocolate concoction thing once our server, Jeff, placed a large platter of an assortment of different desserts on our table and set up our doilies and spoons. Smart, Jeff. Smart. I thought everything was delicious and actually ate everything I was served! ..which makes me think most people wouldn't be satisfied with the portions at this restaurant considering I always eat half of what I'm served anywhere, usually. Everything here that is served is under 475 calories btw. I almost forgot-- you can make reservations online. Their site is user friendly and reservations can be made quite efficiently. (Word)
(5)Michelle J.
Everything on the menu is 475 calories or less and it all tastes fresh. The menus change with each season, offering ingredients that are in season. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, even if they are not assigned to your table. It was our first visit there and when the chef found out, he came personally to our table and gave us a complimentary shrimp appetizer. The manager came by to see how we were doing. Our waitress was wonderful, although she forgot my husband had mentioned it was my birthday. We weren't expecting anything except for them to sing happy birthday. She advised her manager of it, who then came to our table and apologized. It really was no big deal at all to us, yet they generously compensated us by taking all of the appetizers and desserts off of our bill, plus complimentary group pictures, and a $25 gift card! They totally exceeded our expectations.
(5)Priscila L.
I dined at seasons 52 recently and the food was definitely delicious, and all dishes are under 475 calories. The deserts were simply delectable and served appropriately in small cups, much like shot glasses. The service could use a little primping as the appetizers arrived before the wine and we had to ask for an ice bucket for our wine. Overall though, pretty good!
(4)Eric L.
The restaurant is very nice inside. Quiet, classy! Nice wine selection, and the food was great! Lump crab stuffed mushrooms were amazing. Fillet Mignon and Pork loin cooked to perfection! Mini desserts are the perfect size and complement to the meal. Overall experience... perfect!
(5)Karina D.
Never a disappointment. ) Can't go wrong in the very exclusive and so affordable dining venue. With the countless Seasons 52 Restaraunts opening accross the States, there is no reason not stop by & try low cal dishes... A must!!!
(5)Anthony M.
Menu has great selection of under 500 calorie dishes which is great for the carloie conscious. The cider plank salmon was excellent.
(4)Melissa R.
I love this place! I always sit at the bar and enjoy the music being played by the pianist as well as the great service from Sarah & Jesus! And before I pay my tab I make sure to order one of there several choices of desserts which never disappoint me. :)
(5)John B.
We are now sitting at the bar at Seasons 52. The service is great the food........not so hot. We both had the Mediterranean special fish. Tasteless snapper served with roughly 10 miniature shrimp on a bed of arugula and tabbouleh we asked for salt and pepper hot flakes anything to give this over done tasteless fish some energy some taste..... Something, anything. Seasons 52 is one of my favorites. Stay away from the specials until they find a new chef. Chef special is not.....
(1)Danielle D.
The atmosphere and ambiance of Seasons 52 was great, cozy feeling yet upscale. I always appreciate a place that has lower calorie options, especially one that has a whole menu full. Not a whole lot to choose from if you're a vegetarian (a plate that will fill you up anyway). I ordered the spinach and raspberry salad (small plate-not available as an entree) and it was very good. I also had a side of the corn on the cob - delicious and very well done where it didn't stick in your teeth. I am not impressed with the service. We had a table of 8 and you could just tell by our waitress' expressions she was overwhelmed and/or just annoyed to be working with a larger group (even though we made no extra/out of the ordinary requests). She didn't even bother to fill up anyone's waters or drinks. She just dropped off the check and bounced out of there. I always drink at least 2 glasses of water for dinner so I was feeling very thirsty and had to ask someone else. I would have expected better service out of this restaurant.
(3)Annette A.
This place is amazing! Ambiance is great! Food is outstanding everytime I go!
(5)David L.
Not many restaurants like this, great location, great food, service and ambiance. Lets just start out with everything on the menu is less than 475 calories but sure does not taste that way. Menu is seasonal, hence "Seasons" 52. I have ate her numerous times at both the regular dining room and at a private chef's tasting table and menu. This is one of my go-to spots in Miami. I never feel guilty after leaving here, always full like my eating mission was accomplished but never overly stuffed that I need to unbuckle my belt and I love to eat. They feature a nice open kitchen so you know what is happening in the kitchen which for me is a major bonus. I recommend any of the flat bread pizzas for the appetizers they are out of this world ( I usually order 1 or 2 to take home after my meal.) Basically anything on the menu is going to be excellent, good wine list (most wines are sustainable). Make sure you do not leave without getting the shot glass sized desserts, the waiter/waitress comes to your table with over a dozen desserts all in shot glasses (less than 475 calories) all are exquisite. Overall great pick with plenty of options for the people who are conscious about what they are actually putting into their body.

Parking in the Gables on the weekend is always an issue. The interior was well designed and the decor was elegant. The wait staff was on top of the organic theme and noted that all entrees were less than 475 calories. Appetizers: The chicken stuffed Poblano pepper arrived a little cold but was still good. The crab & shrimp stuffed mushrooms were perfect. I ordered the Tuna med rare and it arrived medium +. The pork tenderloin was also overdone. The Sinskey pinot was not stored on its side and was served warmer than it should have been. They did provide a decanter upon request. The ambiance is excellent and our server was very attentive. The pianist playing pop tunes was a nice touch. Might be back.
(3)Vicki G.
Had chance to re-view Seasons last night and will take back the "not impressed." Had superb service from Kat and tried fabulous new bites personally brought out by Mark (Exec Chef)! Nice craft beer selection and delicious dessert. Ran a little late and staff was very accommodating.
(3)Julie G.
This is one of my favorite places to eat in Miami! All the dishes are super tasty, fresh and under 475 calories! It does't get any better than that. There's also a piano player that sings and plays piano at the bar, which makes for a great ambiance. Who does't love live music? The service is consistently good, the drinks are yummy, and the food never disappoints. They also change the menu according to the season, so there's always new items to try. I love the bbq chicken salad, and the flatbreads! You have to try a flatbread if you go! I also recommend that you try the Avaleda Vino Vherde, it's a white wine with a hint of sparkle/bubble, it's delicious!
(5)Wendy H.
You know, nothing was terrible but nothing was great. We won't be back because the prices really don't go with the so-so food. I'm a really small eater and even for me the portions were tiny. Sorry guys...your money is better spent somewhere else.
(2)Tough C.
I love Seasons 52 in Fort Lauderdale, when I visited this location in Coral Gables my meal was disappointing. The flatbreads were good, but my main course cold, and tasteless. It made me not want to go back to Seasons 52, and that's a shame, because I was a fan for a long time.
(2)Ted H.
Had lunch here and was impressed with the seasonal menu. Be sure to also check out the daily specials. The desserts are excellent and come in appropriately small portions.
(4)Lorely B.
Been meaning to write a review for this place, and have yet to go back But Yay! I'm a fan! Its a tasty spot for the health conscious and taste conscious. I had the goat cheese raviolis, which were light, fluffy and goat-cheesy. How on earth could it e less than 450 calories??? Who knows, don't ask - don't tell - just eat it! I also tried a few of the flatbreads which are also low calorie and yummmmsville. The Cuban one was really tasty and another one with mushrooms was quite light and flavorful. Short review because it's been so long since I've been there, but I know I have to make my way back soon!
(4)Monica A.
this place is the definition of a well-run restaurant. the food is healthy, fresh, and they never get my order wrong!!! the wait can sometimes be long for a table, but they generally honor reservations very well. one time when we waited for awhile, the manager gave us gift cards and apologized profusely. THAT is how you get repeat customers. i get here whenever i have a chance! the dessert shots are so perfectly portioned so you don't overdo it... and the drinks are delicious as well.
(5)Danny E.
Food under 475 calories? Good food under 475 calories? Great food under 475 calories? Plus nice wine selection! My dinner at Seasons 52 was all three of those. Certainly, it was food. Clearly, it was good, but only some of it was great. The Crab/Shrimp Mushrooms were delicious, maybe not as delicious as the cheese on the serving pan that I saw every table picking at when the mushrooms were all gone...deelish! The pork chops I got were pretty standard, not overly tasty but certainly good. The polenta that paired with it was actually really tasty, a good sub for a mashed potato puree. The rest of the table loved their meals and the ambiance, presentation of food and SERVICE does speak gourmet. My wife thought the Tuna Salad she got was more than fair in portion size and very tasty and a friend had a delicious looking filet mignon. We will be back and when I try something different, I hope to see another star, it's what I expect of the place.
(3)Tawny P.
I can't think of a better place to spend New Year's Eve!! This is our second year celebrating the big night out at Seasons 52, and thus far, it's been nothing but excellence! The seared ahi tuna (appetizer) was better than I expected... I followed that up with a caesar salad, which was just as good as I thought it would be. Our waiter recommended a nice Pinot Noir, which although on the rather pricey side was some of the best wine I've ever had! My boyfriend had the rainbow trout, and I opted for the pork medallions; both were spot on and very flavorful! To finish off the what seemed like a hundred course meal we each had a little dessert cup (epically priced at just $2.50 for flavor!)... The peanut butter cup had my mouth doing backflips! And with a constantly changing menu, you can NOT go wrong at Seasons 52!!
(5)Donald M.
Tonight we went for my mother's birthday.. all entree's are supposed to be under 500 calories.. we did the set dinner for $35. four course meal... appetizer... salad... entrée... dessert... the flat bread was by far my fav app, chicken skewers are ok, but only 3... shrimp stuffed mushrooms were my next fav, come 6... both salads were delicious, mixed greens and the spinach salad... entrée... the fillet mignon was excellent... the salmon is delicious as well... as for dessert, they serve "mini indulgences" i had the chocolate & peanut butter one... carrot cake was good, pecan was great! cookies and cream one had an Oreo in it... fantastic! if its your birthday (it was my mothers) they give you an extra "mini indulgence" and a card hand written by the server, as well as a group photo which the print on the spot for you... GREAT FRIENDLY personal touch... all in all. a great time.
(5)Laura A.
The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because the flatbread, wine, and dessert were phenomenal! Other than that, the food was bland. I ordered the spicy tandoori chicken skewers, and there was nothing spicy about them. My mom ordered the pork tenderloin, and it was cooked well but tasteless! I probably won't be going back again, unless it's for a flatbread!
(3)Jenna M.
I cannot believe they put a Seasons 52 in Miami! I love this place. The menu never gets old because it changes with the season and everything on the menu is under 475 calories. But you wouldn't believe it. All entrees are perfectly portioned and extremely delicious. You won't come across anything bland, tasteless, or over seasoned. The service is also amazing. If you are in the Coral Gables/Miracle Mile area make sure you stop here for lunch or dinner and prepare for a delicious meal.
(5)Andrew J.
Ate here last night for the first time and had a very enjoyable evening. The space is quite nice, with a beautiful main dining room and some private rooms off to the side. Bar area is great with lots of cozy booths and a piano player. Food and service were top notch. When you order wine by the glass, they bring the bottle to the table and offer you a sip first to make sure you like it, which is a very nice touch. All the dishes are low calorie and the prices are fair. They were packed on a Wednesday night so it seems the concept is a hit. Loved the mini desserts..only $2.50.
(4)Adrian P.
Not much to say here, it's ok. Food was ok, ate the scallops. Was suppose to come with pasta, but didn't. Came with couscous instead. Really boring plate, but tasty. Started with the flat bread and it was as if it was from California Pizza. Didn't stand out one bit. Really wasn't impressed with the food. Was hoping for a Flemings sort of vibem, but was about a few steps below that.
(2)kristy f.
Not a fan. First of all, we sat at our table for 15-20 minutes before a server came to our table. Before someone even brought over water. No one even took our drink order, i had to finally call someone over to order a bottle of wine. And why have a gluten free menu if your not going to take it seriously. 7 of us went for dinner, 2 of us have to eat gluten free. But when the food came, no one knew which dishes were actually the gluten free ones! Needless to say, I left very sick.... I also thought the salmon i had was mediocre at best. At the end, the server was even rushing us out so they could re-sit the table! -disappointed
(2)Angela D.
This is by far my favorite restaurant. My hubby and I had a great time. It was the perfect blend between casual and romantic. We had the Cuban Pita and my Hubby had a filet mignon, I had pork and everything was just to die for. We also had a bottle of wine which was delicious! The best part is that if you are on a diet every plate is under 475 calories. Who can beat that. Did I mention how great our waiter was?
(5)Chris P.
I tried it because I got a $25 dining card from Amex and after going online to look at what it was I decided to try it for lunch. I went today at 3:30ish and the place was empty. Its an odd time to have lunch so I didn't think much of it. We sat outside and there was another table there with what seemed like the only other occupied table in the place. We were handed the menus when we walked in but it took a while for the server to come take our order. We ordered water which was brought over promptly and then I ordered a seared tuna app and a grilled wild salmon for my entree. My sister ordered an an app of some beans and mushrooms as well as an ahi tuna salad with salmon substituted for the tuna. The food took awhile to come out which is why I started looking around a little more and noticed there were like 6 tables at most that had people and the one next to us had already eaten. I wondered why our food was taking so long but if it was as good as I hoped I could forget the time it took to get my food. My seared tuna came and it was alright. I finished it and then after a while longer the rest came out. My salmon was the single worst salmon I've ever had. I wanna say it was an old piece of salmon since it smelled and tasted really fishy, which fresh salmon never should. It was on the specials menu and I know restaurants use this tactic to get rid of old food but mind you this entree came in at a hefty cost of $28 so I was thinking it would obviously be fresh, hence why I ordered it but boy was I wrong. I'm going back to avoiding fish on specials menus like the plague. My sister's app was forgettable, she took a few bites and left it. Her salad with the salmon substitution was good. Her non-wild salmon was better than mine and the piece was just as big. Her plate was only $14. I wouldn't have even paid that for mine. I wanted a beer and our server came by to the table next to us a few times while we were waiting for our food but didn't look our way once even though I kept looking at her and then saying excuse me when she would dart back inside from that table. She finally came by when someone from the kitchen brought out our food and I ordered my beer. I had practically finished my dish when my beer came. I kept scratching my head as to why the service was so bad even though the restaurant was practically empty. I'm surprised because of all the good reviews on here, especially some praising my servers excellent service. Service in this country tends to not be great which I've gotten used to but this one was just absolutely horrible especially given that the place was empty. My personal recommendation based on this experience, walk down two blocks to chicken kitchen and enjoy a good healthy cheap lunch there but if you want a nice restaurant, I wouldn't try this particular one. $75 for 2 people before tip considering what we got for it is an insult. I was half glad I had the $25 dining card and left a 10% tip. If our server hadn't at least brought quickly the water at the beginning and then espresso and the check at the end, she would've gotten no tip from me. Service: 1/5 Food: 1/5 for my wild salmon but 0/5 if you factor in the price. I have been to a few places that have made me want to start an account to review it on here because of how bad it was and seasons 52 was the one that actually made me do it, this is my 1st review. Its supposedly healthy seasonal food but I don't care what the theme is, when your seafood tastes old and you charge up the ying yang for it you won't be seeing me again.

Awhile ago I walked by this place while I was on a Random walk and said to myself " this place looks very nice only just walking by. Well two months later I end up Meeting a server there whose name is Sonia. She is a bartender / server. She told me all about this place and really made me want to come and really check it out. So I decided to take the trip to check it out! Have not been disappointed yet. The Tuna & avocado roll was simple but nothing shy of perfect. The flavors, textures, the way the rice was cooked, and the nori paper instead of traditional nori. The sous chef came out and talked to me for a few brief moments. Its been a great lunch experience so far! You watch the servers pass by they are all smiling the line is working fast and communicating like a well run kitchen should. The burger just came to the table. Presentation was very unique, tiered plates. It added a very cool look. Something I might try to replicate at my job. The burger was cooked perfect and tasted amazing! (the buffalo burger) with a side of brussel sprouts, although I like them caramelized, were cooked through but needed just a hint of salt to bring out the flavors in them. All and all it's a great place! Keep up the great work Season!!! I will be back!
(4)Ale P.
Season's 52 is a rare finding in Miami. It's both healthy and delicious with fantastic menu offerings. We ordered the shrimp stuffed mushroom caps for an appetizer and filet mignon (perfectly cooked to order) for my entree. Both were well balanced and scrumptious. For dessert, we ordered a couple of minis including the pecan pie mini which was by far the best. Do yourself a favor and order the pecan pie mini. As an added bonus, the staff really makes you feel welcome. They're glad to have you and keep the highest standards for the food they put out. We have been back several times since our first visit and it's always been fantastic food and service!
(5)Raymond Y.
First impression of this restaurant is very good...great Atmosphere, very good food and excellent service. We had a problem with our meals and the manager was at our table in less than a minute, very apologetic, more than an adequate response. If we lived here, we'd probably eat here at least every couple of weeks. Rotating menu is very clever and ensures a quality experience.
(5)miami g.
Consistent healthy and tasty! Good service and what more would you ask for? It's a great addidition to Coral Gables!
(4)Jennifer S.
All organic and beautiful restaurant but portions are too small for my husband and I.
(3)Mo A.
The food is good and feels fresh and healthy. The flatbreads are great. I love that they keep their menu updated to what is in season. The drinks are spectacular.
(5)Soma N.
The only reason this place got 3 stars instead of 4 was because of the slow service. I sat there for 10-15 minutes waiting for a server...while the server who was outside passed me 3 times at least without even acknowledging me. Now, I know they were super slow...it was lunch time, it was just me and one other guy sitting outside. HOWEVER I do believe that it is the whole place's fault when a guest doesn't get greeted, or gets downright ignored. I was sat by the hostess - who should have let the server know that her section was seated. AND the manager was there..saw me get seated, then proceeded to not tell the server I was there. The other server who continued to come out and check on her guest also could have let my server know I was there. They place a coaster on your table so everyone knows you've been greeted....so it should have been obvious that I had not been. I had to flag down the server who was ignoring me, and then wait another 5 minutes for my server to finally show up. She wasn't even really friendly or apologetic. Just, "Are you ready to order?" No, actually, I've had time to study the menu and now I have questions! She did oblige and get me samples of both a soup and a wine (the wine selection is great, btw) and was relatively speedy the rest of my lunch. Still though. The whole thing took 1.5 hours. Who wants to spend 1.5 hours at lunch??? There are other places on Miracle Mile I'll go to first before visiting this place again. Yeah, it's delicious and beautiful, but I really hate being ignored.

A caveat: I am not much of a patron of franchises so my critique may be biased. My hypothesis: Americans are becoming obsessed with the notion that knowing your caloric intake determines whether you are deemed "healthy." I however do not subscribe to the calorie-counting culture; therefore, this bistro dishes are not worthy of celebration. The day that I wake up obese is the day that I will reconsider my position.. Overall, I walked away more impressed with the concept, wine, and the service than the food. I have been there twice for dinner out of convenience. I tried the tomato and shrimp flatbread and both times was more excited by the description than the sabor. Perhaps, they are cooking with canola instead of butter or olive oil to keep the calories down... For entrees, I tried the scallops and Pork tenderloin and it was good but not delicious. My friend had the Rainbow trout and we agreed that was the best entree. As for the desserts, the novelty supersedes the quality. Also, getting to the bathroom is a bit of a bottleneck. What I do like is that it is low-lit, the flatbread and desserts are easy to share so they score high on the "fun factor." Also, both the kitchen and the servers are open especialy when I inquired if the scallops were wet or dry-
(3)Doug H.
Had dinner there for the first time last night. Simple healthy menu items with every item including dessert no more than 475 calories. Besides their food, the staff is incredibly friendly and pleasant. One of the friendliest if not the friendliest staff of any restaurant I have been to in Miami. Lorena waited on us and she was a pleasure. Definitely worth checking out.
(4)Ketsia J.
Good food! Enjoyed the Flat Breads immensely... appreciate the concept of being health conscious. The service was great and so is the wine selection. Great stand by if you need a place to eat with friends with a nice ambience.
(3)Juan Jose D.
My initial experience was good at this restaurant, is a different approach, where they try to focus on healthy food and everything below 475 calories but without leaving any of the good ingredients out. Staff is super helpful, the place is rather more classy and traditional than Miamesque, my experience was over a business lunch so wasn`t able to pay attention to all details or to over order in order to enter Yelp mode. Initially Ill give them 3 stars, just because they didnt surprise my palate, but Im completely open and looking forward to come back again and hopefully change it to a higher rating.
(3)emran a.
Very good overall. A- I'd say. Very surprised to find out that it is a high crime restaurant according to officer. In the Gables? Must be the economy. Watch your purses and wallets!
(4)Adam P.
Great atmosphere, wonderful service, justifiable pricing, & enjoyable food. The restaurant succeeds beyond the gimmick of the calorie count. Unfortunately some entrees need improvement. I would not hesitate to return here though. Heather is an exceptional server.
(4)Bruce S.
We went with another couple and had a really good time. The drinks were excellent. We all ordered something different and everyone enjoyed their dishes. The chard, salmon, and scallops were especially tasty. No complaints!!

I have become a regular to this place, you will find me at the bar enjoying a live "piano man" after 6p and a friendly bar staff. The food is fresh, tasty and healthy. I have to second Jessica's comments "The menu at seasons is interesting. First, it's seasonally inspired. Second, everything listed is under 475 calories. Nothing is low fat or low carb. It's just an appropriate portion." I especially like the flatbreads and the salads. In short it is friendly enough to frequent and enjoy a good meal and great atmosphere.

Nice place with good food. Me and my husband went for lunch and were pleased with the food and service. They have live music on occasions.

so i finally made it out to season 52 last night after a networking event and i was quite satisfied. the atmosphere is fun and somewhat loud, but quite enough to have a nice conversation. a definite first date type of place. keep in mind that their under 500 calorie claim is for EACH item. the wines were reasonably priced, except for one ( priced at $90) the tuna crunch salad is amaziing! there flatbreads are great! and the stuffed mushroom with shrimp is great! and the deserts were awesome remember that 500 calorie claim??? well add it up... salad = 475 mushroom =550 flat bread = 475 desert = 375 totals 1,875 calories! i felt like such a fat ass! but at the end of the night, it was a good time. i'll definitely be visiting them agian and reservations are a must!!!!!

Went there for a date night with my wife. Very nice!. Totally new restaurant. Decor and ambiance gives a northeastern feel to the place. Great service. Good food but the fillet Mignon, my wife had, was great,( "melts in your mouth-great"). If you go; reserve thru Yelp- it's a great service. As I left my home, logged on to yelp, got address, reserved and when I got there we sat right away and felt like they knew me already. I will take there some Friends next time.

The place itself is lovely and the orange martini is great. Now everything else was awful. The bartender was rude and aloof as was the snooty piano player. I requested a song and she ignored me but a man flirted with her and he got his song right away!! The food was a disappointment.
(2)Cristy M.
I really like the food at Seasons 52. Everything I have had has been excellent. The flatbreads seem to be the most popular. We had one and they really were good. The amiance is nice.

I recently had a group dining event for about 50 guests at Seasons 52, to celebrate our marriage. We didn't want a church wedding, but instead wanted to have an event to bring our families and friends together. We were choosing between Seasons, Joe's Stone Crab, and Smith & Wollensky; but ended up on Seasons because of the healthier food, and we're glad we did (after the night was over, we realized that it was more than the food that made the night awesome, details below). The room: We rented out the Napa and Sonoma rooms, and there were four rectangular tables set up seating at least 10 people comfortably. The space was perfect for 50 guests; it wasn't too crowded, everyone described it as being "cozy". The decor was nice - same as the decor in the main dining area, and had a wall full of wine bottles which was cute. The lighting was a little brighter than in the main dining area, but it was perfect because of the type of event. Also the temperature in the room was perfect; I've been to places where its too cold or just hot, but none of that was an issue the whole night. The service: Our event started at 7pm, but my husband, myself and a few friends showed up about and hour early to set up some table arrangements. The manager and executive chef came over to meet us and told us if there was anything we needed to make the night perfect to let them know. We were also introduced to the wait staff assigned to us for the night - Enrique, Camille, Betsy, and one more whom I can't remember the name. They asked how we wanted the night structured, and we agreed on cocktails, appetizers, main course, dessert. Enrique was great and coordinated timing details such as when we wanted him to fire up the flatbreads while we were having cocktails and told us how long it would take so that we wouldn't be waiting too long for it; he was checking in with us at different points during the night to see how we were doing, etc. Overall the waiters did a phenomenal job in taking care of everyone, and was just on top of everything. The food: There are different menu options for group dining, and we chose the Cabernet Sauvignon menu. It came with flatbreads, appetizers, salad, main course, and dessert. It was served to us family style on silver platters, and it was delicious!!!!! Everyone was commenting on how great the food was. Overall: It was a great experience though the combination of ambiance, food, and service. Highly recommend Season's 52 if you need to have a flawless event.

I love the food at Seasons 52, however the bartenders are very rude at this location. My husband and I had dinner at this location over a month ago. We decided to have another drink after dinner, so we went to the bar. I took my martini from dinner with me. A bartender came up to my husband and asked him if he wanted something to drink. He ordered his cocktail. I then noticed that 3 bartenders kept looking at me and then talking to each other. One of them kept staring, so I asked if there something wrong. She said we didn't know where your drink came from. I made a joke and said across the street. Hello it's in your glass. She didn't seem to like it. I said you don't have to be so rude and her response was "you don't need to be so upset". She kept it going for at least a minute. Needless to say. I didn't have another drink. I would also like to add that we were there a month, or so prior to this visit. Our waiter was awesome. I would recommend not sitting next to the kitchen because there was a friend crawling on our waiter's arm. He handled it very well. We overlooked this because things happen, however rude service is not acceptable. I will enjoy Seasons 52 at another location.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end! Must try!

Started lunch with a bang! The rosemary and parmesan flatbread was delicious! I had the goat cheese ravioli with veggies (asparagus, tomato, mushrooms). Flavorful and filling. Closed it off with a mini-dessert (a dessrt shot) of key lime, which was also good although I always prefer a bit more tart in my key lime. Service from door through table was excellent. This place is spot on for lunch.

Saturday Dec 3rd, the 4 of us friends went to Seasons 52. Valet greatly appreciated. Great atmosphere, nice setting restaurant to enjoy the best cosmopolitan and martini drinks. The bar tender was great! Dinner Nice booth, comfortable, clean, nice decor. We need the flashlight app to read the menu but love the lighting so don't change it but you could simply change your fonts on the menus. The staff was great. The food..., well the meats were perfectly cooked and tasted great! I would put less garlic in the mashed potatoes served with my lamb and ad a chop of lamb, 3 is simply not enough and I'm a 120 pd girl. The appetizer my girl friend and I had was the crab and shrimp stuffed mushroom witch was all wrong ....a little mushroom cap at the bottom, 2 hole shrimps under-cooked over and no crab, topped with cheese in a escargot dish. No seasoning, it tasted nothing. My husband had the Ahi tuna ... excellent. The service was fast, they brought the main course while our appetizers plates were still in front of us. Selection of wine is ok but no Italians...no Brunellos di Montalcino 2006, witch is my favorite. Over all it was a great evening 2 bottles of wine and a great dinner for $400.00 for the 4 of us. I will go back and recommend it , I love there concept of the healthy and seasonal cooking. Tanya

Went back and tried a buffalo burger this time with a side salad. Missed the quintessential french fries a bit but my first experience with a game meat was fantastic. I will caveat my reviews by saying i have never actually paid for a meal here (always makes it better) but so far still a fan!
(4)Rene S.
Enjoyed the piano player within the bar. Nice loungy vive today. Excellent mojito, cosmo, bbq chicken salad and fish risotto. Oak wood buring in the background smells so good!
(5)Denisse M.
My girlfriends and I were looking for a nice place to go out to dinner, and this restaurant exceeded our expectations. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was very good, very attentive but never annoying, and the food well... it was incredible!!, It is a seasonal menu and all the entrees are under 475 calories, and don't you think that the portions are small because they are not... And then they have this little desserts that are mini versions of like pecan pie, or key lime pie, etc... So if you are like me that have a sweet tooth you can have your delicious desserts and don't feel guilty about it. So great place highly recommend everybody to try it.
(5)Marielle G.
A very nice option for gluten-free/celiac safe dining. The menu is pretty limited but I have never gotten sick from eating here. They appear to be very careful with their preparations of gluten-free foods. I am also dairy-free and since there is no butter in their kitchen, you can be sure that you won't get hidden sources of dairy after telling them to leave off cheese or sour cream. Always crowded and a little on the noisy side, which is why I don't give it five stars.
(4)Ron B.
I have been to about 5 or 6 Seasons 52 restaurants and love them all. This is the first time in the Coral Gables store and the atmosphere was very nice with a young lady playing the piano. I had a pasta dish and glass of wine. Both were very nice and the pricing was on point. The service was a little spotty and cost them the 5th star. When taking inventory the bartender and counter should try to work together a little more so we do not have to flag her down. My 2 friends also enjoyed themselves and we will surely come again.
(4)K J.
Went here for lunch for the first time yesterday. Wow. Food was amazing, service was great, it was clean and classy. I ordered the Mayan snapper, which I normally wouldn't order at a restaurant only because it's usually hard to get fresh fish that's cooked properly. This snapper was cooked to perfection and it tasted clean, very fresh, and was seasoned just right. I almost passed on dessert because I was so full but then our waitress came around with the display of desserts and we couldn't say no. I got the carrot cake and hubby got the pecan pie. Heaven!!! This is my new favorite restaurant.
(5)Jim L.
Had a terrific Miami Spice special sampler menu and the food was excellent!
(5)Angel R.
I'm a HUGE fan. Have been here for dinner about four times already. The flatbreads are amazing. Mediterranean Shrimp Salad was awesome. Their scallops...to die for! I mostly come back for the Lake Sonoma Cabernet and entertainment of John Shack, piano player extraordinaire. Skip even making a reservation, and scope out the bar area, which is first come first serve and even has booth tables. Try to out-drink Sophia, and enjoy some eye-candy with Dan's hotness. Overall, great ambiance, great food, great people serving it...it doesn't get any better than this, people!

I started to give this place two stars since I went there a Thursday ago and service a was perfect and came back with my parents to an experience that started out awful was saved by the manager and then ruined again. I am giving it three stars because of Jeffrey the manager for trying. First off, I made my reservation at the desk the week before and requested a certain booth and waitress. I didn't get either and all I did in between was move my reservation back. This would have been fine except when I mentioned this to the hostess she snootily told me "Well, we don't have that in the reservation." Um, yes I realize that this is why I brought it to your attention. A more appropriate response would have been I am so sorry we do not have any more booths available tonight but I will make sure that it is in the commuter for next time which is what the manager eventually said. I come to Coral Gables to get away from South Beach attitude. We arrived early and for the first time ever I had to wait until my actual reservation time they almost always get you in. That part was fine but then when we were finally sat it took more than 20 minutes for a waiter to acknowledge, introduce themselves or bring us water. I finally flagged down a waitress whose table it wasn't and she got our waitress then she and the other waitress Diana stood next to our table and whispered to each other about how we were complaining (however they didn't whisper loud enough for me not to hear-clearly an amateur move and I was able to hear every single word which included things like "They say you didn't come introduce yourself and give them water and the other waitress being defensive and saying its not true." I am sure these conversations happen but do it outside the customers earshot. Finally, the manager came over and apologized and brought out our appetizers and soup fast. When he was paying attention everything was good. Towards the end of the meal it took forever -no one checked on our food, the check took a long time to come out and they originally forgot our hot water and tea. I am hoping this was just an off night for them since the week before I came and everything was perfect including my waitress. I really didn't appreciate the attitude from the hostess-the waitress eventually was nicer but still not that competent.

Joel was the most attentive and knowledgeable server I have had in a long time. From the moment we sat down he made us feel at home. We started with the Wine Tasting Special they have which is $15.00 per person ( this is only till 6pm) This includes a small tasting of 3 wines. Once you taste you choose 1 for a Full Glass and it comes with a Flat bread. We had the Garlic Chicken and Steak and Cremini it was delicious. We then participated in the Miami Spice Menu. The Menu was 4 Courses, I had the Tuna & Avocado Roll which was very flavorful. I then had the Steak Soup which was delicious and for the entree i chose the filet mignon which had the most amazing oaky and smoky and grilled flavor. I am a big steak person and I was in love with this steak, it was accompanied with veggies and mash potatoes. And we ended with the dessert shot which I had the Key lime Pie. All great selections and to top it all off they had a pianist playing in the back ground. I recommend this restaurant to any one in the Coral Gables area looking for a culinary delight and amazing service. You will walk out like we did with a smiling face and a full tummy. Thank you Joel for reminding us great service still exist. We will be back!

Everything on the menu is less than 475 calories. So don't order wine or beer or you'll blow your diet! They are know for their flat breads. Try the garlic chicken. As for entree, I had the cedar plank salmon. It was moist, HOT and cooked perfectly. We got there early and sat at the bar before dinner. I've never seen a piano behind the bar area. Yep, you heard me. The bartenders walk around someone playing a piano while they serve drinks. The bar was relatively empty and thus quiet. And if the flatbreads and salmon don't fill you up, you'll have room for dessert served in a shot glass for $2.50. You get a taste of one of their delicious desserts at about the 1/4 of the size. Genius move to serve them in the small size via the shot glass as a vessel.
(4)Gina A.
A little pricey, but fabulous food under 500 calories!
(4)Rita P.
This was my 1st visit. I had called ahead to make sure it was child friendly, I have 2 (3 year and a 1 1/2 years), the response was yes it is. It might be but not on a Friday night. It's very dark and no crayons to entertain kids, but that said everything else was fantastic. My son loves veggies and the chicken and broccoli dish was perfect for him and at the end they made him a fruit cut which was great. Our server was very knowledgable and great with recommendations especially when I had little time to look at the menu with my 2 little ones. The wine he selected for my dinner was spot on. I wish I could remember his name he was great. He worked Friday June 10, party of 5 we were seated close to kitchen and my son had chicken and broccoli he deserves a pat on the back. Can't wait to visit you again when I'm in Miami.
(4)SnapHappy P.
Highly recommend you check out this restaurant. A group of us went there yesterday for a friend's birthday lunch and the experience was great! In addition to fresh, delicious food, they took a group shot of us, printed the photo and gave it to us in a nice folder, as a memento, plus the birthday celebrant received a card. They REALLY care about their service. And with large groups, they give you an itemizes tab, with each person's individual orders separated as a subtotal, making it much easier to collect from each diner. If you have a group of friends or colleagues, you MUST check Seasons 52 out!
(5)Farris J.
be sure you verify the amount you signed for on your credit card as i have had to dispute fraudulent charges twice by disgruntled employees who are slick! other than that, the atmosphere, food, and pricing are excellent.
(1)Alberto C.
Delicious and the service was spot on. Each plate under 475 calories, but perfectly proportioned. Price for a nice lunch is really good. Had the spicy chicken stuffed pepper and it was amazing (this may change since the menu is always changing). I am definitely going back, and soon.
(5)Jay S.
I agree with another poster here, the food is very healthy but if your hungry this is not the place to eat. Very small portions, but if your on a diet it works. If your hungry goto Houstons. Oh ya "killer service" ......lol
(3)Stephanie S.
I wrote a review a long time ago, describing Seasons 52 as the best birthday experience I could have ever asked for. However, that was until we celebrated my husband's birthday there this past Friday night...this was even better!!! We sat in the piano bar/lounge since it's a more laid back atmosphere over there and we love live music. We had John the piano player last time on my birthday, and we were so excited to see him again! We COULD NOT believe that he instantly remembered our wedding song. As soon as we said hi to him, he greeted us back with the song and I almost cried! Everyone loved his energy and music selection! At the end of the night, he came around the bar and said hello to us, remembering our names! Unbelievable! Sarah and Jesus were so quick with the drinks and the food was delicious as always. The whole evening couldn't have been more perfect for my husband's birthday. Thank you again Seasons 52...nothing short of great. Stephanie
(5)V C.
I went Seasons 52 with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The flatbread was really good...especially the flatbread one. But the most amazing of all that we tried was the vegetable platter. The flavor combinations were great.. I would definitely recommend the place especially to people looking for good vegetarian food.
(4)DAVID B.
I just have to say that this place is amazing and I have been taking all my friends there. Sometimes we have to wait a little to long, but it is all worthy. The best addition for downtown Coral Gables.
(5)Ginger D.
Love the ambiance...the wide walk in doorway and the FLATBREAD! Crunchy just like I like it...And this may sound strange but I like the feel of the tables...smooth...and the just right height for dining pleasure...not too low with the chin on the table syndrome...seats comfy and even the barstools amenable for foot comfort...service wonderful...Houston's look out!
(5)M M.
This place is just perfect! great food, healthy, nice environment and the service is out of this world.
(5)Eileen A.
Great prices and great service. The wine list is pretty decent and nicely priced. The food is healthy and pretty tasty. The goat cheese ravioli was my favorite item on the menu. Check out their desserts, they are pretty good.
(4)J S.
We just finished dinner. The food was horrible. Tuna tar tare was not fresh and had zero flavor. I ordered the sesame crusted tuna, probably the worst I have ever had. My husband ordered the free range veal porterhouse. It was tough as leather. The flavors were completely mismatched. Lastly, my poor daughter's flat bread was mediocre to say the least. How do you get cheese, bread and marinara wrong? Will definitely not return. Very disappointing!
(1)T C.
This was an enjoyable dining experience. The concept of the resturant is that everything on the menu is supposed to be under 475 calories and the menu changes according to the seasons. Ordered all of the flatbreads in the appetizer section and also the raw tuna, I was quite satisfied with the taste of the food for being supposedly healthy. For my main entree, I ordered the Mayan Cobia, fish native to the Florida waters which was very tasty. Fish was light and flaky with good flavors. I didnt understand teh srilachi in the sauce though but it was good. For desert, i had the Pumpkin Pie with Gingerbread crust. Our party also ordered a red wine which was delicious. Funny since we're drinking CA wine in FL. I would definetly recommend this place. The only thing I would advise is to find parking somewhere as we ended up spending over $8.00 just on the meters outside.
(4)Jon W.
Good value for money. Excellent service. Flat bread appetizer hit the spot. Salmon was prepared just right. Side vegtables very tasty. Nice concept on having mini-desserts and worth the $2.50 charge. Suggest making a reservation on weekend.
(5)Trina R.
Oh how I was hoping I was going to like this place. While searching for a restaurant on yelp, I stumbled upon seasons 52 and noticed it had just opened. We decided to try it out. The restaurant looks beautiful inside and out, including a beautiful bar. The service is also pretty attentive. However, if you are looking for great food, this is not the place. After looking at the menu, neither of us found anything that really called our attention. Then we noticed it, the small disclaimer at the top of the menu. "all items on menu are under 500 calories." Here we go. We ordered a chicken flatbread which was probably the highlight of the meal. We then ordered the stuffed mushrooms as I am usually a huge fan of these, but I was very disappointed. Not only were they were tasteless, but they were burning in temperature. Then for the main course I really couldn't decide but opted for the scallops. The scallops themselves were ok, however the asparagus and the round pasta were not tasty. The spicy chile relleno was not bad but overall I would not go back to this place unless for only drinks. In my opinion, the menu should have more options even if it needs to stay on the healthy side.
(2)Jessica C.
Went for lunch with my sister and 2 year old son. The restaurant is nice but I was a little disappointed when I was told that there were no more high chairs, as they do not have that many. We were given a booth to somehow compensate for the high chair situation. When I asked for a children's menu or at least children options, they did not have any. The food was good but not very child friendly. I would rather have lunch at Houston's.
(3)Judy D.
We went to this place two weeks ago and it was really good from start to finish. My only complaint is that it's VERY loud. We were in a booth and I can only imagine how it would have been out at an open table. Our waiter, Marco, was excellent and very professional. He kept his eye on us without hovering, knew everything about everything on the menu and was efficient. The kitchen was pushing food out quickly so we got our entree before finishing the salads but it wasn't terrible. My choice was the pork tenderloin, which was perfectly cooked and moist. The flatbreads were delish, the wine list was good and the little desserts are the perfect end to a good meal. This past weekend, we went to a Seasons 52 in Central Florida and had another excellent experience. I ordered the salmon this time and it was so mild and tasty. My dinner mates had trout and said it was perfectly cooked. Though the place was packed, it was less noisy as the piano person's music was toned down. We'll definitely return to any Seasons 52 anywhere.
(4)Paul S.
I was happy to hear that Seasons 52 was opening in Coral Gables and looked forward to going there. I love their concept; however, I don't know if the execution always meets my expectations. I have been there for lunch twice and both times, the service was very good and attentive. Atmosphere is muted, with lots of dark wood. The bar seemed to be popular with tables outside. Where I think this restaurant misses getting 5 stars is the food; it's good but not great. I had the vegetable soup that was ok, but the bowl was only half-full; I suppose it's to keep the calorie count down. Other lunch items I had were the chicken caesar sandwich on pita with a side salad and the barbeque chicken salad. In both cases the chicken was very tender and of high quality. Salads were nice with high quality ingredients. But there was nothing special or savory about the dishes and their flavors. Good, but not great. Coffee and desserts were very good.
(3)Yvette G.
Holy mother of flatbreads!! FINALLY checked this place out after months of wanting to go and it definitely did NOT disappoint. The decor is warm and cozy with a fire in the foyer and great lighting throughout. Service was impeccable, the two times we were there we were seated promptly and waited on extremely quickly. Drinks and water were out in no time. Our waiter(s) were very knowledgeable regarding the menu as well as the extensive wine list. Being a HUGE wino, I love the fact that there are some obscure wines there. I had the opportunity to try out a couple of new reds based on waiter recommendations and was very impressed. We had the steak and crimini mushroom flatbread for appetizer as well as the chili and OMG they were amazing. This coming from a NON mushroom lover. It was so good that I ordered a second one for lunch the next day. On one occasion I had a pork chop over sweet potato mash that was out of control and the other day a mahi, also outstanding. Dessert was pecan pie on one day and key lime the other. Both were the right portion to satisfy my sweet tooth without making me feel like a fat ass. :) Overall I loved Seasons and would definitely return. They run a tight ship and it shows. Wonderful experience both times.
(4)Mallory S.
I was totally disappointed by this place. Went for "happy hour" with my boyfriend and his family, only to find out that they do not have a happy hour...EVER! It was Friday at 5:00 pm...Happy Hour is an unspoken rule at this time and Season's 52 unfortunately broke that rule! I got a martini with vodka, grapefruit juice, and agave nectar. Although it was delicious, it was $13 which to me, is a bit too much...especially at a Happy Hour time! Here is what was ordered on the table.... Cuban Flatbread - the best thing I ate, pretty good. Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms - gross...the shrimp was like a rubber band! Edemame - average Pork Tenderloin - My boyfriend got this and it was okay...really small portion though for the price BBQ Chicken Salad - Had a bite of this and it was okay...nothing special Also...the atmosphere was extremely boring. I felt like I was on a cruise ship dining room for someones 70th birthday party. The crowd is comprised of those in their 60s and 70s, which for this energetic 24 years old, can get a bit sleepy. The piano player, who plays inside the bar (very weird) gets an A for effort but would have been better to listen to when trying to fall asleep...wah wah wahhh! Overall, I don't think I'll be back. I think it is overpriced for the portion size AND the food is extremely bland and boring. Their whole 500 calories or less on the menu items is a good idea in theory, but the chef needs to find more ways to add flavor and not calories because the food is really lacking in the "MMMMMM" factor we all want on a Friday night out for dinner!
(2)Mitsouko C.
Love the atmosphere and food is amazing, great wine selection and their flatbreads are to die for.
(5)Chris S.
Went there with my wife and a friend. Great service, great food. Lots of interesting and tasty choices on the menu. Nice bar there too. Would definitely go back. Was slammed on a Tuesday night in mid August..the place is doing well.
(4)Heidi M.
Went with my entire family for my parent's anniversary. Party of 14. The food was delicious and sensible, both in price & nutrition! You would never believe out is healthy for you because it just tastes so good! As you can expect, with such a large party there were a few ordering glitches, but the servers did not try to cover up any problems, but rather they immediately informed us of the problem and comped us quite a few goodies to make up for the 5 minute delay in receiving entrees! I can't wait to return in a smaller party!
(5)Emily R.
The restaurant is clean and dark and a little noisy. The server was friendly and attentive. The salad with chicken was very fresh and flavorful. The rotisserie chicken was well seasoned and had nice caramelization on the skin. The maple glaze was delicious. The mashed potatoes needed some seasoning.
(3)Gabriela A.
We planned a celebratory dinner with another couple and picked Seasons 52 on a friend's recommendation. I looked at the menu online ( hi, I'm Type A ) and was debating between the cedar plank salmon or the filet mignon. We arrived a little early for our reservation and were promptly sat in a nice booth in the corner. I was delighted to learn it was the first day of Miami Spice month (months?) and both the salmon AND steak were on the special menu. Our server was attentive, went into detail about the regular menu and the specials and barely gave the Miami spice menu a nod. (I've heard terrible things about Miami spice but I was pleasantly surprised this time around.) For $39 I got the appetizer, salad, entree, and two small desserts. You really can't go wrong with that. Although I did the math and I probably only saved $10. If it hadn't been Miami spice, I would have still ordered a salad with my entree, probably not a appetizer so honestly it's up to how big of an appetite you've worked up. I got the chicken pesto flatbread- pretty average, tasty nonetheless. The spinach salad was fresh, light, and filling. I went for the filet mignon. I ordered medium but came out more well than medium, still ate it, still tasted good, but would have preferred a juicier steak tbh. The desserts were good, mostly cream or mouse topped with cocoa, chocolate or some sugary, fluffy substance. Everyone else ordered off of the regular menu, everything looked delicious, smelled delicious, and the conversation pretty much ceased after our food came out. That's always a good sign.
(5)Evelyn V.
I had heard awesome reviews about Seasons 52. A group of friends invited us to dinner and this is the place they chose. The decor is impecable, I was a little scared because I thought it would be expensive. For my surprise, the prices were reasonable. I decided to split a rack of lamb with the hubby because it was already 10:30pm. The lamb was perfectly cooked, seared on the outside and juicy on the inside. Next time I go I will eat a whole rack. Mashed potatoes were ok, all the dishes at Seasons 52 are under 475 calories so the mash is not inundated in butter. The veggies were delicious as well. I can't wait to go back to Seasons 52 here in California and try many more of their dishes.
(4)German M.
I have to say Season's 52 was very accommodating in changing the reservation from a group of 4 to 6 a few days before Valentine's Day. Upon arrival we were promptly seated. We tried the steak and blue cheese as well as the cheddar and short rib flat breads and they were delish. You can't go wrong with any of them. I didn't have the mushroom bisque but I heard only great things about the perfectly cooked mushrooms -- so I craved it a little, I'm not gonna lie. For the main course I had the filet mignon which was extremely juicy but not cooked to order. The sides were just as good. The service was very slow and sort of inattentive -- perhaps because we were a group of 6. However, everybody left very satisfied after the small dessert shots.
(4)Julie R.
I have been wanting to eat here for a while, and finally got the opportunity when someone gave me a gift card. We went at lunch time, were seated right away, and our server came right over. Our server, Misael, was EXCELLENT!! Really, really great server! We both started with some delicious tea - with lemonade. SO good. And, we got a tomato/basil flatbread appetizer. That is a MUST. It's very thin and light and delicious. I would go back here just to have it again! I ordered the Vegetarian Tasting (quinoa-citrus salad, soft taco, vegetables, cedar-roasted tofu, tropical salsa). It came with the tofu, quinoa salad (cold), a soft taco with beans, broccoli, corn salad (cold), and some kind of sweet salsa on top of the tofu. Everything was so delicious and flavored perfectly. I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but they drizzled it (lightly) with something, and you could taste that it was grilled - SO good. The tofu was prepared perfectly, and the corn salad was good too. As for the quinoa and corn salad, both are served cold. It is just MY preference for things to be warm or hot - so I didn't care for that aspect of it. But, I don't mean to take anything away from how good it tasted; just not my choice for cold. My friend had a similar veg dish, (Cedar Plank Roasted Tofu choice of asparagus, carrots, broccoli or cremini mushrooms, and roasted crushed potatoes) but her's came with these AMAZING skinny carrots. OMG, they were SO good. My dish was $15.50, and her's was around $12-something. The prices are a tad high, but, I knew that going in. If you are a vegetarian, be sure to ask for the separate vegetarian menu - some of it is the same as the regular, but there is a separate menu - also for vegans. Now, let's talk about the desserts. You MUST order dessert. They are small treats, and are only $3. Each one looked better than the next; we settled on 3: Blueberry/lemon, dark chocolate-something, and, OMG, the peanut butter. You MUST get the peanut butter - soooo good. They were ALL very good - a really nice way to end your meal. The restaurant is clean, and the decor is upscale (but not snooty!) and welcoming. It's a little dim in there, but that was fine. If I had to describe the restaurant, I would just call it a little upscale, with delicious, fresh-tasting, real food. I have read all the reviews and there's something I don't get - others say the portions are small. Both our plates were not small, and we even took some home (and, I'm a big eater!). So, that aspect of the other reviews, I don't agree with. We definitely came away very full from our meal. One thing I do agree with the other reviewers, and that's that it's a bit pricey. I don't love paying that much for a meal, but it was really fresh and good - so I guess you get what you pay for. Again, the service was exemplary! We weren't in a hurry, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We finished our appetizer, then shortly after that, the food came out. It is not a rushed place at all - it's laid back and comfortable. All good! I have nothing bad to say.

I will love giving more stars and I might. Nevertheless, the gentlemen toilets did not had any hand tissue. Having an automatic dispenser will go a long way to make the patrons keeping their hands from flagging the air all around to dry.

The only thing I can really say I like about this place are the flatbreads. Pretty much everything else - all other food, service, prices, portions, etc. seem to be really lacking. I work pretty close to this location and have come here a couple of times, either for meetings with customers or just to get away from the office with some coworkers. The service is consistently, excruciatingly slow. I have the same problem with a handful of places in the gables. I would say 90% of people are sitting down to have lunch during the week on their lunch break. Why do you think it's ok for a meal to take nearly two hours? Today we sat down with six people. Aside from the long wait times for everything, I would say we had 3 plates that still had at least half the food on them by the time the meal was over. That's saying a lot considering how small the portions are. Even those of us who finished our food (myself included) didn't have much to say except that it was "OK". Not really any reason to come back. And even though I felt my food was ok, I found myself with a stomachache not long after. The whole concept of this place is light fare - everything on the menu has 475 calories or less. This is great except a) the food is lacking in flavor b) portions are fairly small and c) they still cost as much as a large plate of full calorie food. I've definitely had better, cheaper healthy food elsewhere.

Great wine and service! Chilean Sea Bass is great!
(4)Freya P.
Great atmosphere, upscale decor, fresh delicious food yet a bit pricey for just any day casual lunch. Service was good, waiter was knowledgeable about menu items. Took two of my colleagues for Birthday lunch and we all left satisfied and happy. The lump crab wedge salad was (still is lol) mouthwatering. Definitely recommend for any special occasion.
(4)Nicolette R.
Really versatile menu! I love that they put all of the calories on the menu too and have tons of low calories options. The lighting is very dim inside, though and it can take a while for the server to come check on the table. Overall good food and great atmosphere.

I gotta say that I am not a fan of chain restaurants but I Love This Place! The desserts are perfect in size and decadent( my fave is the smores!) Service is incredible with all the servers and bartenders being amazing and friendly. I love the flat breads and my husband and I have been slowly trying them all. The entrees are a little pricey but the trick to dining here is to get a couple of their delicious appetizers and maybe share an entree salad ( they are gigantic! Try the salmon one) and if you are still hungry, split an entree. Always try the chef's suggestion. The menu changes according to what's in season and everything is fresh. Lemonade refills are free :)
(5)Alessandra G.
One of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The type of place you know you can count on for consistently great food and service. Love the ambiance of the restaurant as well. And the fact it's healthy is the cherry on top! Recommend the flatbreads, the scallops, and the mahi tuna crunch salad. And for dessert, love the peanut butter!! Though all are amazing.
(5)Alexandra L.
The Quick: Very trendy and romantic restaurant (all locations), great food and fun concept, all for under 475 calories per dish. Great chain that doesn't feel like a chain. The Details: The concept is unique and refreshing, they have four different main menus, one for each season, then they have different specials each week of the year... hence the 52, Seasons 52. I love that every time you go there's something new on the menu to be tried and devoured. They are also known for their extensive wine list, from average wines to an extremely high price point. They really do have something to fit everyone's budget. It is a very sexy and appealing restaurant, perfect for a date or even for group. It's also located on a great block where you can stroll around and window shop, or sit outside under the strings of lights and people watch. Every time I've gone I've tried something different, as the menu changes each week. Overall, every flatbread we have tried has been absolutely delicious. Very flavorful and crispy. The scallops were amazing, and the desserts are always the perfect portion of sweetness, served in big shot glasses. Just keep in mind since each dish has to be in the specified calorie range, they are normal human sized portions... So you'll want an appetizer to share. The only thing I didn't love was the duck lettuce wrap tacos (pictured). It was good but it honestly would have been better on a crispy panini with jam. I should have splurged for the duck sandwich since each dish is still under 475 calories anyway. The Damage: A little pricey, since you have to get a flatbread/ appetizer to split (they're the best part!) We went for lunch with 5 people and spent $125 + tip for 5 entrees, 2 flatbreads, and one soup. There wasn't a lunch menu though, so we ordered regular priced entrees. It wouldn't have been much more expensive for dinner, so it's more reasonable for dinner.

I absolutely loved my experience last night. The service was good, the ambiance was warm and perfect for unwinding. I ordered the Maui Tuna Crunch salad, which was delightful. The combination of fruits and vegetables was so refreshing yet flavorful, and I like the texture the nuts added to the salad. I also tried a slice of the must have flat breads and it was like a little piece of cheesy heaven in my mouth. Best of all the menu overall seems pretty healthy yet delicious and included the amount of calories in each dish. This was perfect for my situation since I happen to be on a diet which involves counting calories.
(5)Carol M.
This is a nice place to come for dinner or happy hour. It is located on Miracle Mile and the restaurant itself is nicely decorated. One of the things I like the most is the bar area, they have somebody playing the piano in the evenings. The music is loud enough that you can hear it but also low enough that you can hear each other's conversations. The thing about this place is that meals are under 475 calories, the plates are delicious but also have the right portion so you can eat guilt-free.
(4)Fernanda U.
Very good, I ordered the lamb chops and they were really good, drink menu was exellent

Outstanding Pork Tenderloin and great Oak-Grilled Salmon, great choice for dining in Coral Gables.

If you are planning to go to this restaurant, please be sure to be an anorexic 15 year old white girl or make a pit stop at the nearest fast food joint before, during, and after you make your order. You'll likely still leave there wishing for more substance (or anything at all). The portions were so small I found myself wishing the waiter would fall face first into the candle so I could take a bite off this freshly grilled churrasco and avoid certain death by seasonal starvation. I understand the plates are marketed as small, and under 500 calories, but next time I think I'll stick to making a peanut butter sandwich. It is more filling and many times cheaper. To keep the rating fair and balanced I feel obligated to make at least one good comment about the restaurant and it is that the water there was plentiful (and more filling than the food.)
(2)Cristina B.
Food tasted great and natural. Portions were on the small side and the menu items were rather pricey especially the drinks. The variety on the menu is great but if your looking to spend less than 20 dollars a plate you will feel limited. Either way, Seasons 52 may not give you the most bang for your buck but the quality is consistent and superb.
(4)Sam Z.
Great spot!!.... me and my gf went there for dinner tonight and it was amazing. Fresh food and beautiful decor. The tomato avocado salad was out of this world and the scallops with corn risotto was even better. Def will be coming back soon!
(5)Jazmin R.
Food is excellent, the menu states how many calories each dish has, cocktails are amazing- my favorite is the dirty martini- extra dirty with the blue cheese stuffed olives! The best part would be the dessert selection, make sure you try the carrot cake and pecan pie!! Service is great, regardless of group size. They also have private rooms for events!
(5)Olga P.
Good ambiance. Low lighting. Nice bar. Good food. Good for groups also, there's a big private room. Good wine selection. Location is in the heart of Ciral Gables on Miracle Mile.

We came to eat next door at Red Koi and could hear a piano playing from our table with great music. We decided to stop by and found a fantastic bar with a revolving piano. The pianist new many songs. Unfortunately he told us that this will be his last week playing there as they will be turning it into a "trendier/hip bar with house music" (his words).
(4)Roxy B.
Seasons 52 is a great place to have a drink, meet people and have a relaxing evening with background music and nice ambiance...for dinner? Well, don't go too hungry, even though the food is tasty and delicious, the portions are very small. Our group was starving, thank goodness we started with different types of appetizers (loved the flat breads), so by the time our small portion arrived, it was ok. Although I think my husband left hungry, but he is a big eater... ; - /

We came for lunch, This restaurant is very classy. Lots of neat wood and stone walls. High ceilings with exposed beams. A main dining area partially separated from the large bar with its dining area. Racks of wine bottles above the bar and along a wall. Cushioned seating. A decent selection of wines, domestic and imported, in several varietals. Pop tunes pumped in, volume low enough to be enjoyable as background music. Soft lighting all around from shaded lamps hanging from the ceiling, perched on ledges, mounted on the walls. Refreshing chilled air from an air conditioning system able to cool the voluminous interior. In sum, a relaxing and inviting atmosphere without annoying harsh lighting or loud music. We started with one of the Summer menu items, a nice long lobster flat bread with tomatoes, veggies sprinkled in a light lemon sauce . It was delicious, with a lovely confluence of flavors and textures. Nice amounts of lobster in each bite Then my wife had an entrée, the rack of lamb medium, with roasted potatoes and grilled asparagus. She loved it and I did too as I stole some from her plate.It was very flavorful and not too gamy which is awesome for my taste. My entree was the wild salmon which was cooked to perfection with potatoes and a mix of grilled vegetables. Our friend Bill, my wife's father figure ordered the branzino which was beautifully deboned in front of us and sprinckled with a very thin lemon/lime sauce accompanied with potatoes and broccoli. Absolutely delicious. Karen picked our wine which one bottle apparently wasn't enough, which she was right and apparently that is too often. We had a great choice for Pinot Grigio, only a three year old but a light floral and full bodied wine, extremely enjoyable (Conté Brandolini) for desert Bill wanted to have our server just leave the entire tray and walk away. Very tempting but we felt bad for our arteries and our weak hearts. I had the Amaretto cheese cake, she had the carrot cake and Bill had this Chocolate volcanic looking thing. All very delicious and very unique A memorable dining experience and a must repeat. There wouldn't be a full dining experience with a cafecito, so we experience our culinary adventure with a cafe latte, and espresso and of course my lovely cappuccino.

Went to Seasons 52 during Coral Gables Restaurant Week and eating here was the best decision! The food was great from beginning to end. Hands down the BEST restaurant in Coral Gables!
(5)Lam P.
Went here for my birthday with a friend and it was great!! Super nice ambience with a great selection of food, cocktails and desserts (all under 475 calories - big plus!). I recommend: - Lump Crab, Roasted Shrimp & Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms - Cedar-Plank Roasted Salmon - Hawaiian Pineapple Cosmopolitan - The desserts!! They came in tiny little cute cups and I wanted to try them all! But I didn't want to be such a fatty. So my friend and I got the Key Lime, Smores, and Carrot Cake (complimentary for our birthdays). I am usually not a Key Lime person b/c it's too tart, but OMGOSH...this is a must try! It was delicious!! The other two were great too. I'm glad I had a second stomach for dessert :) My friend's Shrimp Cavatappi Pasta was just OK, I don't think he liked it that much.

Oh what a night! Our Valentine's night started with a bang. Literally. As we valet parked our car and headed towards the restaurant, we heard a car crash and turned to realize that it was our car that had hit another. The valet guy had backed in to oncoming traffic without a second glance. As my husband dealt with calling the police, I went in to Seasons to let them know that we would obviously be late for our reservation. The hostesses expressed extreme surprise and sympathy and graciously held our reservation while we dealt with the valet and the police. Fast forward an hour and we were finally seated. I can honestly say that this was one of our best dining experiences ever. Every employee from our server, Misael, to Chef Matt, to the manager, Fernando, did everything in their power to make up for our disastrous valet experience. I'll add here that the valet is operated by a separate company and has no affiliation with the restaurant, but that didn't matter to the staff at Seasons 52. Complimentary glasses of champagne and our choice of flatbread to start the meal and we instantly forgot about our valet mishap. Our specialty cocktails were delicious. (I fell in love with Makers Mark all over again.) I would have given them the full five stars except hubby had to send his steak back twice. The chef and my hubby did not see eye to eye on the definition of "medium well." But our server was quick to offer complimentary coffee and dessert. Overall, I love the fact that Seasons 52 worked so hard to clear our minds of the valet incident even though it was clearly not their fault. We will definitely be back! And we will definitely not valet park.

We dined at the Seasons 52 in downtown Coral Gables on a busy Thursday night in late March. It's been two years at least since we visited this popular restaurant in the heart of Miracle Mile. Once again we were delighted across the board with menu, service and atmosphere. The menu is somewhat limited, but for a reason. They go seasonal and do not disappoint plus all the main food fare (including the flatbreads) is under 475 calories across the board. The venison chop, an occasional menu treat esp. in winter was rare and seasoned perfectly (lightly so not to interrupt that very unique flavor); the turkey skewer presented chunks of well marinated charcoaled tender meat accompanied by a cucumber vinaigrette salad, the sesame grilled salmon was fresh and cooked perfectly and the chunky lump crab, shrimp and spinach stuffed in mushrooms(served as an appetizer) was crab intense ditto the blackened steak and blue cheese flat bread (also served as an appetizer. We ordered one chefs special mushroom puree soup which was a tad bland but with a surfeit of differing shrooms. The bottle of wine chosen was a perfect companion to all four diners food. The Kettel One vodka martini typically sizable and perfectly mixed. You can also enjoy a glass of cava in the bar area. Happily we had room when the desert tray with its individual parfaits. Our friends tried the mini desserts (which consist of red velvet, pumpkin cinnamon pie, chocolate peanut butter mousse) and they were astonished. Service is seamless. Easy and Attentive. Prices at Seasons 52 belie its upscale atmosphere. Affordable and a wide variety across the menu from $9 to $25. Parking in Coral Gables is always a trial, however there's a sizable municipal lot behind this restaurant and we've always found a spot quickly. Pay kiosks are all around the lot.

Came here on Saturday night for Miami Spice. This place is AMAZEBALLS!!! The only change from the online menu versus the restaurant menu was that the Organic Baby Spinach Salad was included as an additional course meal rather than being an option of the appetizers (additional free food? Don't mind if I do). Also, they have $10 wine flights that you can add to your meal. For an extra $10 per person, you get to sample 3 different types of wine (you have to choose either red or white). Once you select which wine you like, you get a full glass. Oh yeah, we took full advantage of this! Since it was my fiancée and I, we had both appetizers: Roasted Roma Tomato Flatbread and the Blackened Steak and Blue Cheese Flatbread. The Roma was the better choice. We then had our salad which had a tangy vinaigrette dressing, not bad at all. For our entrees, we chose the cedar plank salmon and the oak-grilled filet mignon. Both did not disappoint. I especially loved the detail of including an actual piece of wood plank underneath the salmon to give it an amazing smoke taste. For dessert, we had the mini dessert. They're little shot glasses filled with different types of mini goodness (e.g. key lime pie, peanut butter, s'mores, chocolate, etc). I had the pecan pie and the soon-to-be mrs had to satisfy her craving and ordered the chocolate dessert. Perfect way to end a lovely dinner. One tip: definitely call in advance and make a reservation. It saved us a huge headache from waiting a long time to be seated. Overall we had an excellence experience. Great restaurant, great ambience, friendly service (especially the patient hostess), but most importantly great food!!! Will definitely come back for more!

Short version: Get the apps and dessert, skip the main course. Long version: I enjoyed the dimly lit interior with the faux heavy timber framing, and the black bean chili was as good as Mima's with a subtly spicy kick. This restaurant chain advertises its cuisine as being flavorful yet healthy and the chili appetizer keeps that promise. The presentation was also beautiful. Likewise with the strawberry dessert shot and accompanying balsamic vinegar reduction. It wasn't obnoxiously sweet and let you notice the different flavors. The main course of chicken made me wonder if I momentarily went to a different restaurant and is the reason why I'm taking off a star. While it had enough of a background maple glaze seasoning the presentation on my plate was actually a bit plain. It almost looked like what I would make at home. The accompanying vegetables were fine, fresh and crispy though.
(4)Carolina S.
The moment you step into the restaurant you feel like you're in NY, in a warm, and inviting environment. The hostess is friendly and tall! The waiter Jesus was pleasant and attentive. I ordered several diffrerent dishes (arugula salad, hummus, roma tomato flatbread, duck and fish tacos). The food was very fresh and I'd recommend everything I ordered minus the korean duck lettuce wraps. It was a little bland. Overall the restaurant was very clean and I agree with all the other yelpers-- flatbread was delicious!!
(5)Chelsea E.
I have to say after reading all the yelp reviews I had big expectations for this place. I love the idea of only serving things that are in season and the fact that everything was low calorie really enticed me to pick this place for my anniversary. Unfortunately I was extremely underwhelmed. First, for such a busy restaurant there was an extreme lack of seating in the waiting area. I understand that they wanted to maximize their dining space but some outside tables or longer couches would really help. Second, although we explained that we were celebrating a special occasion and didn't mind waiting eventhough we had a reservation we were sat with a private party of 15+ on one side and another birthday party with 8 guest on the other. Our server was obviously overwhelmed and timed our meal terribly. I really can't forgive bad service when the prices are this high. Clearly this restaurant is used to a lot of people so the servers should be used to hanlding a large amount of tables. On to the most important part, the food. I had the honey glazed chicken and it really lacked flavor. The chicken came out dry with over cooked with underseasoned veggies drowned in some type of gravy, and poorly mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had some type of fish which he said had a nice smokey flavor but lacked much else. The highlight of the evening, and really the only bright spot of the night was the dessert. Perfectly sized and nicely prepared with just the right amount of frosting. Interestingly enough desserts are usually the weak point of the meal not the star, but I'm certainly not complaining. All in all I probably wouldn't return or recommend this establishment to anyone. Save yourself the time and effort and find another place to eat.
(3)Amanda R.
Easily mine and my boyfriend's FAVORITE place. We always go for the "Flights and Flatbread" special before 6 pm, where you are given a taste of 3 different wines and a flatbread for only 15-20$ a person (depending on which flight of wines you choose). At the end, you get to decide which wine was your favorite and you are served a full glass of that wine. The flatbreads are to die for!! Our favorites are the chicken pesto one and the steak and blue cheese one. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water! Overall, GREAT food, GREAT service, GREAT ambiance. It's a definite MUST TRY.
(5)Bianca P.
So today is a special day for my girlfriend and I. I decided to make reservations for this place for tonight at 8. The receptionist was super sweet and took down my information. We showed up thirty minutes early but we were seated immediately. Manny was my waiter and he was sweet. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. They were good but no flavor. My girlfriend ordered the pork tenderloin and asked if the mashed potatoes had the skin on them he answered no but he was wrong. I ordered the cedar plank salmon which was cooked well but my side was just vegetables. I understand the concept of keeping the dinner plates under 452 calories but my food sucked. The food was so unimpressive. I've heard nothing but good things but I hated everything. I was super disappointed. I will not come here again.
(1)Anna N.
I had a really great time here! I got the lobster flat bread and a side of scallops. Really loved the wine selection and the server was probably one of the best I've ever had. Expected to pay much more than what we did. Would absolutely return!
(5)Caroline F.
First time last time Seasons 52 Coral Gables. Great location and nice ambiance. Miguel the server was inexperienced and brought my dinner during appetizers.. Had to return it so that I could wait for the rest of the party to get their food! Wine was ordered (flight wine ) I had to ask for final glass several times before it was brought... Wine glass empty??? it never occurred to him to refill or ask after several visits to table...Soup asparagus was absolutely awful no taste at all!!!! Bland as hospital food is usually... Not even salt and pepper could fix it! We all had the same soup party of 6... We all had the same conclusion.... We had to ask Miguel several times for bread. Flat bread lobster was good but I could get that anywhere nothing to scream about....definitely not Gables caliber .. Completely disappointed!

I have always loved Seasons 52 and have reviewed them before for their impeccable service, healthy food items, and amazing wine list. But I now, yet AGAIN, feel compelled to write a review as this has to do directly with an event that my friend and I attended last night for Coral Gables Restaurant week. Seasons 52 hosted a private wine tasting and flat bread sampling. This was according to the email i received but we were pleasantly surprised to find that is was waaaaaay more than advertised. The private room was "roomy" with plenty of space to walk around and mingle. 3 stations were set up: a red wine sation, a white wine station, and the food station. The food consisted not only of all their delicious flatbreads (they are becoming almost famous for them) but they also allowed us to sample pork tenderloins and spicy chicken skewers that were absolutely delicious. The food kept coming till the last person left! They also brought out a sample of their mini indulgences towards the end which we were not at all expecting. A very sweet ending to a delicious sampling of very. very good food. The wine stations had 3 wines each for you to sample and then have a full pour of your favorite. They were all exceptional and they did a great job of getting wines that would appeal to wine drinkers at any level. Now comes the part where I share what the REAL treat of the night was... THE SERVICE. Katherine was manning the red wine station. There wasn't a single pour that didn't come with an extensive explanation as to how that particular grape is cultivated, what food to pair it with, etc.. she was so knowledgeable, friendly, and really, really helpful. She didn't seem annoyed when people bombarded her with questions. She displayed pure professionalism the entire time. Dawn at the white wine station was just as great. Always smiling and willing to answer any and all questions pertaining to the white wines. Her station was one of the lonlier ones since as you know, everyone loves a good red - but there she was, patiently waiting and very happy that you stopped by. And then there was Enrique.... ooooooh Enrique! He welcomed all the guests to the event and got things started. He made sure that EVERYONE without exception had some food on their plate and when he saw you struggling with an empty plate on one hand and a glass of wine in another, he made sure to take your plate. There were other servers, and of course, they too were great, but these 3 really stood out and in my opinion, are the reason that Seasons 52 has the reputation it has. These young people are service oriented, professional, friendly, accommodating, and in short, embody what I wish every server would. Keep it up guys and GOOD JOB SEASONS 52 for knowing how to host an awesome event and knowing exactly WHO can get it done!
(5)Mitzy R.
This is one my favorite places to eat. Almost every item it's healthy and has less than 500 cal. The local is spacious and welcoming. Every single time I walk in there's big groups and plenty of family. The staff is excellent. The wine & cocktail selection is big enough. So far the hummus, the play breads from the appetizers are excellent. The soups are delicious I juts tasted the asparagus and it was delicious. All the salads are great, the trout plate, the vegetarian plate and the fish tacos are a no miss. Then comes the dessert part. They present it in shot glasses, so are small enough not to harm much your diet and there's like 8 options. Price point it's on the expensive but your eating healthy side but you won't go bankrupt either. Try it !
(5)M B.
Overall, Season's 52 was a solid experience. My husband and I were looking for a vegetarian restaurant (in addition to my gluten and dairy allergies). Their menu was a little bit inefficient since they have separate menus for gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan. It was a bit overwhelming for me since a majority of the gluten-free menu was non-vegetarian. However, our server quickly found someone who could manage it and make recommendations. We ordered the duo hummus for an appetizer, and I found the texture to be a little rough. We had the warm beet salad, which was good and the vegetarian entree which was good as well and the restaurant accommodated my food allergies greatly in this meal. If you go to the restaurant, i would recommend sitting in the main room or room adjoining to the bar. We were put in an add-on room, which was freezing. I complained several times, and 2 other tables near us complained about how cold it was too.
(3)Juan G.
A really nice restaurant on the mile. I come here every occasion and I really like it. Although today I say I the restaurant part I find it even more enjoyable when you go and sit in the bar area, for its much more livelier. On Fridays they have a piano man here and he's great. The food is great and very well done although I find it a bit pricey. For example, they're sushi rolls are almost 11 dollars, and if you're only going for that it would be better to go to Yuga or Su-Shin. All in all this is a nice place to come after work or with friends to enjoy a nice meal.
(5)Elizabeth W.
Really recommend this place if you're looking for a pleasant meal and a comfortable environment... Go for the lobster flatbread or the scallops, which are amazing. I especially like the Miami Crunchy Tuna Salad, also. It's just laid-back, and the atmosphere adds to the experience.
(4)Brian Z.
The food here is excellent. The prices are not bad at all. The food is fresh and the desserts are great. Overall it was an excellent dinner and I would definitely recommend it. We usually go to the one outside Roosevelt Field. It is nice to know that they have this one here when we are visiting Miami.
(5)Brittany B.
Seasons 52 is great for us health conscious folks, as it boasts about its below-475-calorie menu items and oil-controlled entrees. Don't let the "healthy" label fool you though-- everything that I've eaten here has been full of flavor! I also love the fact that the menu changes seasonally. On this particular evening my table began with the Prince Edward Mussels Marinara, which were out of this world. For myself I ordered the mixed greens salad complete with pumpkin seeds (for the fall season :) ) and the Cedar Plank Salmon with broccoli and asparagus. It's normally served with potatoes, but I subbed out that side for double veggies instead. I loved the atmosphere of this location, and it's always great to stroll around Miracle Mile afterwards. Just make sure you make a reservation before you decide to go!
(4)Vanessa J.
I expected a lot from this place hearing about it from fellow coworkers. I have to say I was unimpressed. I ordered The Greek Salad, a steak flatbread and a Shrimp bruschetta, with the exception of the bruschetta, everything else was either dry or bland. Definitely not giving this place a second chance
(1)Ariel M.
Wow....it's all I have to say about this place! I've come here expecting nothing but fresh plates and that's exactly what I got! The meals are well seasoned, tailored to the season and always the right portion.
(5)Mimi A.
Super good food and a great vibe! Went for Mother's Day and had an amazing time!! The servers are great and the drinks are amazing!! We go all the time and will continue to go!!
(5)Nardri F.
I Love this place. Its ambiance is very upscale for a chain restaurant and the food never disappoints take advantage of there changing seasonal menus and dinner is not complete without a mini indulgences. I go with my husband for a quite evening or with the kids for a family dinner. The restaurant is huge noise level average so you really can't disturb anyone. They have live piano music which is usually very good. Cons: Parking in the Gables sucks especially on weekends. The restaurant wait can be up to a hour
(5)Hanna T.
We have been going to Seasons 52 for dinner for years now, and the food/service was so good, that we decided to have our wedding rehearsal dinner here, too! In short, it was absolutely incredible. Our main contact person was Denise, and she was so nice, helpful and responsive. We blocked off a few of the private rooms for the party, which was about 60 people, and everyone had an incredible time. Most importantly, the food was PERFECT! Everyone raved about it - from the salmon, shrimp, pasta, and steak, to the vegetables and flatbread and DESSERT! We will certainly be coming back for dinners and other events. Thank you so much for everything!

Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. The only thing holding it back from a 5th star is the food is good but doesn't have a wow factor. I had the rainbow trout...no complaints at all, but it just didn't wow me. I guess that's because this is more of a health conscious restaurant, which is actually fine by me. Btw, most portions are smaller but the trout is one of the biggest items on the menu if you're looking for a filling meal.

I've always said, "if old people fine there, it's good" for some reason there were lots of seniors and my theory was proven yet again. Everything was amazing! This place has such a cozy atmosphere despite being a pretty big restaurant. There was live piano and singing which was very nice. I had the humus with peppers and with mint. It was really good! My daughter ordered a butter nut squash soup which was ah mazing and non- creamy which I love! I do not like being served a big bowl or cup of heavy cream. I tried the rainbow trout which was surprising to me that they had because I have only seen this in Utah and Cali. It was butterflied open and grilled to perfection. It was so so good! My son had bone in lamb covered in Kona coffee and although it's a little hard to get the meat off the bones it's very tasty and well prepared. My daughter opted for the chicken skewers appetizer with apple slaw and it was divine ! They have an great selection on the menu sure to please everyone, even gluten free ! The deserts.., oh the deserts!! At only $2.50 each these little heaven in a cup deserts are just insanely good! You will know what I mean! They are not over bearing and just enough to get your sweet fix and just decadent! Our server was great and super attentive. I'm coming back here more often it's a great place! Oh and it will not break the bank! Considering the quality it's very reasonably priced!

I had always wanted to try this place. I have heard nothing but greatness about this place from my friends. I was very disappointed. We arrived on a Saturday for our 445 reservation. I made one because i was expecting the place to be packed. It was not. It was very empty. Well...i mean it is an odd time to eat. We were seated right away where we requested. We wanted something outside since the day was so nice. It was about 10 minutes before the waiter approached our table. We gave him our appetizer order (the vegan hummus) and our drink order. he came back with my drink about 10 minutes later. we gave him our dinner order since we were ready. About 15 minutes after that, we got our appetizer. it was good. the waiter checked in with us 25 minutes later and took our empty appetizer plate. the hummus was really good. He told us that our food would be out soon. I was getting restless. it had already been a long time. the food came. we ordered the maple glazed chicken which came with vegetables and mashed potatoes, the vegan vegetables and pasta and the final plate was the shrimp cavatappi pasta. none of us liked our dishes. my plate, the maple glazed chicken, was very dry. i hated the taste of the glaze. the potatoes were actually good. the glaze was so overpowering that i couldn't discern the mishmash veggies on my plate. Oh! We had also ordered the crushed mashed potatoes. they were terrible and dry. we ate begrudgingly. the waiter never came by to check on us. our plates were taken away by the hostess. we waited to get our bill from our waiter. we didnt want dessert bc it would have taken forever to get there. we just wanted to get out of there. we were there for a total of 2 hours and a half. i could have driven to orlando and had something from epcot's food and wine festival for that amount of time. Service and food were terrible. Prices are like cheesecake factory prices. Never coming back.

Went for a birthday dinner and they definitely give a nice touch to the birthday person with a happy birthday card. The ambiance is very nice and all of their food taste really fresh. We started with a flatbread of short ribs and cheddar and it has really good flavors that you would normally not think to put together but very tasty. I had the lump crab wedge for dinner and it was very light and refreshing. I also tasted the Sea Scallops with risotto and it is worth ordering!
(4)Mauricio V.
Came to the bar for a drink and order a couple of Belvenie 12yrs on the rocks. When we ordered the check each scotch was priced at $31... What a ripoff. The server should have told us it was priced that high. Very disrespectful.

Healthy food that taste this darn good, oh yes I loved this place. I had this place bookmarked but was not rushing to get there figuring hubby would never get full on 475 calories of food. The hostess was very nice and took us to a very comfy booth. Our server greeted us quickly. Really liked the soft wood tones throughout, classy touch. At one point in between dinner I hear music I look up and see a guy playing the spinning piano and singing. Super cool. We started with chicken pesto flatbread and oh was it delicious. The ingredients are so fresh and so was the chicken. I ordered a bottle of Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc which paired perfectly with everything we ate. Great wine from Marlborough, New Zealand. If you choose to order this please appreciate the beautiful bouquet it has, amazing. Sniff & Savor. I ordered the Corvina because the waiter said it was fanatasic. A smooth curry sauce over the top that I did enjoy even though I am not a big fan of curry. The Corvina was light very fresh and had great flavor. Hubby ordered the seared Tuna, wow this was by far the very best seared Tuna I have ever had. Then the adorable little deserts for $2.50, oh geez rocky road was amazing! Service was excellent, loved the ambience, older crowd for sure even a few cougars haning out at the bar ha ha. This place would be a perfect five star for me if they had a better red wine selection especially selections of more Pinot Noir, Burgundy's and Viognier. For the caliber of the service, food and decor step up the wine list would be my suggestion. Can not wait to go back with my daughter she will love it.
(4)Sarah S.
I love this place. The whole concept of freshness based on what's in season is truly inspiring. The whole set up, the lighting, decorations, the ambience... It all sets the theme that's for sure. We had a fairly large group, and shared the artichoke flatbread. Great little appetizer for everyone to share although we had to get two. I chose to order the filet mignon with mashed sweet potato and asparagus. I'm telling you.. This was the best cut of meat I have had in a long time. Seasoned with a mushroom sauce, it was not over buttered or over salted like many other places prepare steak, I literally used a butter knife to cut my steak! I also tried the scallops which were delicious as well. For desert they brought out a large tray with many different little cups for us to choose. Although a great idea....I honestly find this unsanitary given they take back the ones you didn't choose and re-serve them to someone else. I enjoyed the smores and the carrot cake. The service was ok.. Although he disappeared for quite some time in the middle of our meal and we needed another bottle of wine, it's important to make sure everyone has a drink when their meal comes. Besides that we had a great time and left feeling content!

I met with my cousin for dinner to catch up and talk some business. Maria, our server, was GREAT ! Congrats on her intuition and quick handling of the fact the wine my cousin was drinking had run out. She quickly bought him an alternate. She gave us space to talk and only came by to check precisely when needed. Kudos to her. The food, the menu, the attention is perfect !!
(4)selma w.
We came just for coffee and desert. Took forever to seat us. Finally they found an empty table by bar( among the many empty ones) . We were seated at a booth and had a man waiter that was basically careless and never bother to take care of us. We told him we came for coffee and desert and he never brought us the desert tray. Also never offered us water . It was very hard to get his attention the whole time we were there even to ask for the check. I know food is nice but this waiter needs to go.
(3)Lyndenise B.
Excellent food and excellent service! I went during Coral a Gables Rest week and it was great! They don't rush you, the ambiance is great and the food is consistently amazing!
(5)Zack S.
Any place that offers delicious entrees, ALL at 475 calories or less, plus top notch drinks, an elegant and comfortable ambiance, plus a piano player at the bar is going to get top ratings in my book. This is my favorite place to come in the Gables. The drinks are mixed perfectly. The food is amazing (Rainbow Trout on the menu right now is incredible). And I keep coming back to the pianist at the bar. It just adds a nice touch to the place. Strongly recommend for dates, drinks after work, business dinners.
(5)Karla V.
With a healthy menu, appropriate portions, and delicious tiny desserts, this restaurant is a go too when in the Gables. It has a large seating area and full bar, so waiting for a table is typically not an issue. While its a chain, the food still stands apart and most dishes, if not all, are under 500 calories. What a bonus! The food is simple and clean and the ambiance is still relatively intimate, while the restaurant is large. I have been for lunch and dinner both, each meal pretty good with the flatbreads and steamed veggies as the highlights. Give this place a chance when in a group and looking for a lighter meal accompanied by a delicious glass of wine!
(3)Gabriel T.
Why not five stars? The place was nearly empty, I had to wait for a table for around 15 minutes, which makes no sense at all when there were perfectly placed tables all around. The lobster flat bread I ordered was cold although it tasted good. And the wild salmon was half the size it should be. It's probably that way so they can keep the calories at the top for the menu. Two stars for: Danielle, the extremely kind waitress and The s'mores dessert paired with the Rioja wine.
(2)Dennis H.
Made a Yelp booking for Saturday night. Seated after 5 minutes in a quiet supine room which was perfect for a business and social dinner. We have dined at two other cities in the chain and they are consistent in service and food quality. Have to give them 5 stars!
(5)R H.
Went for last weekend of summer lunch menu and Miami spice. Food selection was ample and generous in size. I had the corn soup, burger, tots and key lime pie. Service here is always on point. Great ambiance and tasty food!

Coral Gables is full of great quality restaurants. Therefore, the Yelpies event could have not been in a better location to experience a great dish after the event. Jessica and I are trying to eat healthier since we are on the working out and cross-fit fix. Therefore with all meals under 500 calories we were immediately drawn to Seasons 52. Upon arrival there was not wait time and we were immediately seated. The server was outstanding. She had a full knowledge of the menu and what the specials were for the day. In addition, she was able to describe the dishes on the menu to the exact detail. Jessica went with the Roasted Chicken and I went with the Corn Risotto and Scallops. In addition, we went with the bacon and blue cheese flatbread and white bean chicken chili. The flatbread was very good! Crispy on the bottom yet soft on the top, the bacon and blue cheese was not over powering but just right to make the dish come together. Topped with arugula on top, it was a very good appetizer if your looking for something light and not to heavy. The chili was darn good as well, the chicken was and white bean paired very well together and again a light appetizer if your not looking for something to fill you up before you entree. The Roasted chicken was very flavorful and quite chunky lots of meat in one small chicken I thought to myself. It had the right combination of species and seasoning. The vegetables especially the tomatoes were sweet and tangy and as always the balsamic pairs very well with the tomatoes. The Corn Risotto was spectacular! The texture was just right! The Scallops were cooked to perfection as well. It didn't have the sandy flavor that other restaurants have or that squishy bland flavor. These were grilled just right where the texture of the scallop and flavor were exactly how they needed to be. Very delicious dish the combination of the seafood and risotto is one of my parings there is in dining. I capped it off with a doppio expresso and the night could not have ended better. Comparing Seasons 52 to other restaurant's I can see how there dishes are under 500 calories. They don't cook with lots of sodium or other spices or ingredients that add inches to your waste, so the normal flavor that you would have on some of there dishes compared to other restaurants is lacking, but that's the cost of healthy clean eating. Nevertheless, I understand the philosophy and concept and the food taste great for the calories your consuming. Great Work !
(5)Deirdre F.
This place was amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious. The freshness of the food was defiantly a delight. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The server knew the menu and the specials very well. That must be hard since the menu changes weekly. Josh our server was very helpful when it came to picking out a sweet red wine. I will defiantly be back and also trying the location when I'm in NY as well.
(4)Ute L.
Seasons 52 is always a safe bet for reasonably priced, light and veg friendly fare. Such a chick place. Had the most perfect lunch on the Coral Gables restaurant week fix price menu. My waiter was great and timed each course just right. Started with the roasted tomato flat bread. Crispy, thin crust, non-greasy, golden brown, tossed with just the right amount of finely chopped fresh basil. Loved it. The crunchy tuna salad was solid. Tuna just barely seared, thinly sliced and a great quality dark red piece of "meat". I loved that they grilled the pineapple and mango before tossing them into the greens. My orange quinoa salad should have been called a quinoa barley salad, as it was 50/50. Barley is not the right choice for this dish as it is too starchy and made for a strange mealy texture. I did like the tiny dices of apple in the salad but it needed more citrus flavor. Of course, the mini dessert shots are irresistible and the most genius invention ever. You get so many different layers of flavor and texture in that tiny glass, without hating yourself afterwards. Now, I am a fan of big desserts, even shamefully oversized ones, but this way you get to sample two or even three if you're like me and can't just pick one. The chocolate s'mores dessert is a must try. Rich dark chocolate mousse topped with crumbled graham crackers and a marshmallow. The only problem I had was that my tongue isn't long enough to lick the shot glass. The pecan pie shot is a lot sweeter. Vanilla custard topped with crunchy pecan pie filling and whipped cream, yummers. All of that for less than $20 makes me very happy.
(5)Tanya Q.
Great food, ambiance, and service! The chicken pesto flatbread was delicious. The Miami spice menu was a pretty good deal. Overall very happy with my experience at the restaurant.
(5)Cheri M.
The desserts are cute and taste fine. However - service was soooo slow around 4pm. Unacceptable. Seems like the decor is made for an older men's club. Reminds me of Ruby Tuesdays. Prices are reasonable except for their cocktails. Those are more pricey.
(3)Claudia A.
Updating my review. Food quality is going up. The food is tasting delicious. I had the tuna crunch and it was so tasty. Flatbreads are always A+ and the desserts. I love me some pecan mini indulgence
(4)Janae L.
I really love this place, honestly don't have anything negative to say. I ordered the tuna salad (can't recall the official name) and one of their flatbreads. The portions are fairly large on the salad which is nice for a change. The staff are very friendly and patient. I was there with an old friend and we were literally the last to leave. No rush at all, the waiter picked up on the fact that no, we weren't ready to order and didn't hassle us every 5 minutes. Also, not to mention, the calories are right there! So it makes healthy eating much easier.
(5)Diner M.
I have been here many times and never disappointed. The service is always attentive and the menu changes with the season. We had wild salmon which was delicious and filet mignon which was perfectly cooked. And the small dessert idea is brilliant. A bit of sweet after the meal.
(4)Liz L.
I love it here. One of my favorite chain restaurants. There is a piano player, great wine selections, and a very pleasant staff. Its definitely a nice place for lunch or dinner. With a setting that is warm (their fire pit in the winter rocks), sophisticated, and intimate, and a menu offering a variety of fresh and yummy options that change every season (how cool) and are under 475 calories- what isn't there to love? Of course if you eat an appetizer, soup, an entree, and dessert, its not under 475... but you still would've enjoyed quality food and not feel uncomfortably overstuffed after 3 courses like you may feel at other restaurants where its greasy and the portions are unrealistic. Though I have taken one of my friends here and she was still hungry after dinner. So the portions here are not large, but for me, personally, I can share a flatbread and an appetizer, finish an entree, and have a dessert and am full and satisfied. So... Flatbreads are a must and they are all good! ..All of them. Shrimp cavatappi shrimp pasta, their grilled scallops, rainbow trout, and filet mignon are delicious entree options. I think in the winter they have venison...i thought I wouldn't like "gamey"meat but its pretty good :) Its kind of funny, usually after dinner, the server will bring you the tray of desserts without even asking if you want it. They think they're slick...But I end up with dessert every time haha. These mini indulgences as they are small and just the right amount of dessert (supposedly...) are amazing!!! My favorites are the Chocolate peanut butter torte and the pecan pie with vanilla bean mousse. Perfect ending to the meal ;)
(5)Sherilyn W.
The music and noise level is gentle and compliments the delicious, healthy, and light dishes. Happy hour includes delightful cocktails and small plates. Inside is comfortable, and staff are friendly and courteous. And the Strawberry Basil Infusion cocktail is to die for!
(5)Lindley L.
Best place on The Mile. Amazing flatbreads, fresh salads, super quick service and great ambiance. Love this place for amazing cocktails after shopping or a sophisticated sit- down with friends. Menu changes but everything is fresh and delicious. Their salads are seriously to die for, anything with arugula is amazing. Yum!
(4)Bianca M.
Went with some friends. It was my first time but definitely not my last. Everything was delish I had the scallops risotto with caramelized Brussels sprouts, lobster flat bread, and rasp cannoli shot for dessert. Did I mention TWO hawian pineapple cosmos mmmmm. Our waiter was awesome and mad us laugh the whole time. We went at 4:30 no wait at all. Over all a FABULOUS experience
(5)Jennifer S.
Seasons 52 holds a special place in my yelp-heart. Very private elegant and tasty dinner restaurant in the heart of coral gables (Miracle Mile). They have seasonal menus, meaning the food is always fresh and authentic. I would definitely recommend anyone to try to flatbreads, so delicious. Service is fine although on busy nights you may have to wait 15 min before your table is ready. The Jazz piano guy by the bar is a great addition. Would recommend.
(4)Punya N.
Although I've heard and seen Seasons 52 restaurants in other cities, I'd never visited one before. So when I came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pretty impressed right off the bat with the wide variety of vegetarian options -- and the presence of a separate vegetarian menu altogether. The ambiance in the restaurant is very relaxed, with mood lighting and a huge space to work with. The decor is very nice and this could easily be a place for a classy date. I came for lunch with friends and we had the tomato flatbread (pretty good, not overly greasy, good level of basil but I wasn't over the top about this dish), the vegetarian tasting menu (quinoa-citrus salad, soft taco (black beans, roasted peppers, feta cheese, mole poblano, tomatillo salsa), grilled vegetables, cedar-roasted tofu, tropical salsa). I loved everything on the tasting menu except for the cedar roasted tofu and the soft taco (it was good, but not great). Finally, we finished with 3 of their dessert shooters. We split the Belgian Chocolate S'more, Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Honey, and the Pecan Pie with Vanilla Bean Mousse. All were equally rich, flavorful, and balanced. And the portion sizes are just right so you are satisfied with the amount of sweet indulgence without feeling sick from too much sugar. They have many more flavors which I definitely want to go back and try! All in all, I think this was a great find for American food in Miami, and bonus points for vegan and vegetarian options which are few and far between down here.
(4)Evelyn L.
I really enjoyed the food. We got a waiter that was being trained & he was very nice & helpful. He was patient with us & quick. The food tasted very fresh. I will definitely be coming back. I really enjoyed the concept.
(5)Robert F.
Overall great experience. Considering what I've read about small portions and everything being under 500 calories, I thought maybe I would've been unsatisfied. But no. It was just right. The Cedar plank salmon is fantastic! Goat cheese ravioli was excellent!! My girlfriends lamb was slightly overcooked but overall the food was very good and very flavorful. The place has a warm feel to it and just a great dining experience. The only downside if there truly was one, was that our server seemed a bit rushed with us. Saturday night and they were very busy.
(4)Henry A.
NPS = 8 Not really a fan of chain restaurants, but this one was great! It was my first time visiting a Seasons 52 and I had an amazing experience. If you pass by this Seasons 52, definitely ask for Daniella! She was the best. I definitely recommend the lobster flat bread (however, since the menu changes so often it might not be on the menu) as an appetizer. The beet salad was fantastic as an appetizer as well. The balsamic vinaigrette it comes with is to die for. The roasted chicken was great and I recommend having it with glass of Mer Soleil chardonnay. Great! For dessert, their selection of shot-glass desserts is great. You get your taste of sweet minus the momentous calories. I tried the chocolate peanut-butter one and my girlfriend had the carrot cake one. Both were wonderful. If in the Coral Gables area, give this place a try.
(4)Emma F.
My mom and I decided to come here for late lunch today . I picked the place based on the concept of having the menu selection with less than 450 calories per plate . I think this is an awesome way to catch people's attention since now days we are all worried about healthy eating and calories lol we ordered the raspberry and the mint lemonade . Super refreshing . Totally recommend it . Both detoxifying drinks in there own way . Chicken Flat bread was delish . I loved the fact that they cook the salmon in a piece of wood , this way it absorbs that woody taste while been cooked in the oven . My favorite parts of restaurants is of course dessert . I appreciate that they were shots not a huge piece . This way you can try them all :)
(4)Ashley R.
I actually really like coming to seasons 52. The only place ill sit here is the bar. The dining room is just eerily quiet for my taste, but the bar is always pleasant. The piano player behind the bar adds a lot to the ambiance- though I must say I much prefer the younger player on Mondays and Tuesdays to the older man that plays there the other days of the week. My bartenders have always been quick and attentive, readily offering their suggestions and pouring nice cocktails. The small shaker on the side with nearly a full martini glass of the cocktail extra is a real treat. The food doesn't daaaazzzle me here, but for a restaurant I've been frequenting more often- I don't want a huge heavy meal and a high check. The portions are perfect. I recently had the steak salad, chicken skewers, and pork tenderloin. I would order each one again. The chicken skewer app was surprisingly large and the price point was totally agreeable. The beets with wasabi dip were seriously underwhelming though. They could benefit from an orange or honey glaze- and I'm a beet lover! I cannot come here without ordering one of their small delicious desserts. I love the rocky road and carrot cake. Overall seasons 52 consistently delivers.
(4)Donna P.
Love this place. It's warm and comfy and a little spiffy too. The menu changes for the season.love the flat breads!
(4)Kristine A.
The service was good, food was good too. Overall I have no complaints but to be honest the food just didn't wow me. Like, I'm not crazy about it, I don't crave it. I just feel like there are other places that will give you better food for your money.
(3)James W.
Its a great restaurant in the Gables if you want to get dinner or lunch. Food is fantastic and all the servers I have ever had have been great! Parking can be a little hard depending what time you go but there is a valet.
(4)Alexis S.
Food is amazing and healthy. Ambience is welcoming & warm. The service was spectacular. Will be returning very soon.
(5)Rachel T.
I recently hosted an event here and had an outstanding experience. Forget about everything else, the wait staff was AMAZING. They were so attentive and present at the event and they all made me feel so comfortable knowing all of our guests were in good hands. Thank you everyone who helped out!
(5)Luis P.
The restaurant is nice. The food is good. But the only bad thing was the service. The server was nice and seemed concerned but it took 40 minutes to get him to come back and ask for desert. Once he was gone he was gone. We were not in a hurry so it wasn't a big deal but it was a little annoying to just seat there and wait around. The food was good, we did however just order appetizers and drink drinks. The flatbreads are great and warm caprese salad is awesome. The entrees did not seem impressive so we just ordered a fee appetizers. I think we made the right choice. Anyhow, this place is great for drinks and appetizers... I wouldn't do full on dinner here though.
(4)Frank P.
My wife and I have been here numerous times before. We enjoy the ambiance, and the great service. I usually get the sea scallops which are usually amazing (and their best dish in my opinion) but today I wanted to try something different so I got the venison. I was willing to pay extra because I realize it comes from New Zealand, but I was disappointed in the dish. First the portions were ridiculously small (I get the low calorie part of the menu but you should price the item based on value). It was a SINGLE solitary chop with very little meat on it. To make matters worse it lacked flavor. The garnish, sweet potato mashed, also lacked flavor. How hard is it to screw up one of the most delicious meats and sweet potatoes? The lamb chop looked like a larger quantity of food, obviously I'm not sure how it tastes but it looked ok.
(3)NH R.
Excellent service, nice wine list, relaxing atmosphere, great staff, delicious meals.

Excellent service and food. The flat bread, salmon and scallops are perfection. Good drinks as well. Yes!

What a wonderful surprise ! Outstanding! My favorite in coral gables so far. A pleasure from beginning to end.
(5)Karisma R.
I came here for a work dinner; they had good service. The food was not as good as I had expected given all the hype, but it was not bad either. It was just okay. Yet, I can't point to something that would've made it extraordinary....
(4)Alissa W.
This is not an update for seasons I have not yet gone back to this location. Upon reading my review the GM contacted me and resolved the issue. Amazing customer service! Looking forward to heading back to update my food regarding the food.
(5)Private A.
Celebrated a birthday there in a group. The food was great, the drinks mixed by a master, and the service was great....until we got the check and decided to stick around and chat since it seemed to be a slow night and we had just dropped almost Five hundred dollars to include a 20% tip. Our waiter "Michael" inexplicably disengaged never asking if anyone in a group of 8 wanted more water. After yakking away for over an hour we all left parched and thirsty, hence 3 stars instead of 5.
(3)Andrea M.
Great food, service leaves a bit wanting the wait staff don't check in on the table enough but they did have a wrap to lend my mom since she was cold. The quail, scallops and lamb are awesome
(3)Lillian B.
I have been to Seasons 52 several times and I'm never disappointed. All of it is fabulous food, service and ambience. Looking forward to going back soon.
(5)Johanna R.
Had the flatbread as an appetizer which was good. Had the vegetarian platter as my entree and only enjoyed one item on it: the black bean taco. Everything else was very simple

I used to love this place... went all the time to hear the live music.. now it's gone. Without it... it's just another bar

I have been to Season's 52 quite a few times in the past, but never this location. It worked out quite well because we had just attended Yelp's 10 year anniversary event at the Coral Gables Museum just a block up. We chose to dine here because both Erick and I are on a 30 day clean eating plan and as delectable as the items looked at our event, I just couldn't eat any of it. :-( We walked in and were able to be seated right away. Our server greeted us and took our drink orders. For the appetizer Erick ordered a cup of the white chicken chili soup and the bacon and blue cheese flat bread. Our appetizers arrived fairly quickly. I tasted a bite if Erick's soup and it was very good! I only had one bite because I have to watch my sodium intake during these 30 days. I sampled a bite of the flatbread and it was quite delicious and the flavors blended very well together. For my entree I was between the roasted chicken or the scallops with corn risotto. Guilted by my conscience and carb intake, I went with the chicken. The portion was very generous and had a lot of meat. It was accompanied by tomatoes and bits of ciabatta crouton. The croutons and tomatoes were drizzled with balsamic vinegar which is diet approved. The chicken was so meaty and full of so much flavor and very generously portioned and accompanied with the sides it made for the perfect healthy meal. We had to skip on the desserts for obvious reasons, but the s'mores dessert shot was calling my name and I made a mental note for my next visit.
(5)Marilyn C.
Hosted our office holiday lunch on 12/18 for the fourth year in a row. This year the group was bigger (22) and the service was even better. Everything was on point, no delays, no hiccups. Food and drinks were served quickly and on point...our staff was happy and so was I. The names of our waitresses slip my mind but they deserve kudos and recognition. Thank u to Seasons 52 and we will see u next year again.
(5)Carl-Frederick F.
Overall not bad....I had the ahà tuna, pretty good. The mer soleil wine was divine best wine I had in my life and I have had quite a few.the seabass was sadly disappointing... My expectations were so high but crush.over cooked way to citrusy for my taste,but the wine made up for half of the meal.I would recommend this probably only for their drinks and appetizers
(3)Cynthia G.
Look, we really like this place especially for Friday night happy hour. One of the things I like the most is the piano player. Live entertainment. It's really awesome. I just learned tonight this is being eliminated. I am really disappointed. It is a distinguishing feature of this place. It really adds atmosphere. Darden, please don't do this.
(3)Elizabeth Y.
Service: Amazing service. Our waiter was first very understanding when we decided to change tables. He then gave us excellent recommendations and really knew the menu as well. He was very attentive, but not on the verge of annoying. It was my friend's birthday, and they brought out the cake with candles lit without me having to ask them to. When only one of our friends ordered the curry soup, he gave the rest of us samples to try. I cannot recommend this guy enough! Drinks: If you buy their cocktails they will serve it to you with the shaker, so really you're paying for 2 drinks worth. I got their pomegranate margarita which I would recommend to those who like sweet yet strong drinks. Food: First, we got their signature tomato flatbread. One is enough to feed 4 people and it alone can serve as a meal. I also got the scallops with asparagus. Delicious. Dessert: You have a choice to pick one of their mini indulgences and for the b-day girl a choice of 2. They were all very delicious but I would recommend the pecan and mocha chocolate. I will definitely be coming back to this place. This place offers 4 seasonal varieties and changes their menu each week. In addition, everything is under 475 calories! Can't wait to see what else they offer.

Visited the Miami location and can honestly say, this is the type of restaurant I was looking for, Tyler was our waiter he was very attentive and had a great sense of humor! He recommended a few items and they were all delicious! We did the wine flights and they were all really good, I preferred the Oaky Merlot, along with the roasted tomatoes flat bread, filet mignon, and triple chocolate rocky road and mocha desserts! I am hoping the location here in LA is just as good, can't wait to go back!

Need reservations but the food, drinks and service are excellent! The trout was delicious and moist, the carrots and potatoes were not over-cooked and mushy, the crab lump salad has just the right mix of salad dressing and ingredients, and the mini-desserts are delicious yet just the right size. Service: excellent (a rarity for large Miami restaurants) ... attentive, cordial, eager to be of service! A definite "repeat" over and over ...

It was a long overdue girls' night out. We started with the artichoke and goat cheese flatbread and a couple bottles of wine sitting at the outside sidewalk tables. After an hour of catching up on the "cheez" and a little people watching, we moved inside for dinner. I had the salmon with a sweet glaze and it was simply amazing. Then we shared the mini desserts. Awesome food and excellent service! Plus so much better when shared with good friends, lots of laughter and too much wine. :)
(5)Cristina G.
I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was excellent. I read many great reviews about the food being low in calories so decided to try it. We had the ravioli appetizer which was very delicious. My entree was the steak flatbread, a must try. For my dessert I had the mini s'mores cake super yummy. Everything was great but the best part is leaving dinner content but without leaving super stuffed. It's the perfect meal. A must try in the mile!
(5)Cathy W.
This location is excellent! My husband and I recently celebrated our tenth anniversary here. The food and service were perfect. Also, when I made a reservation, they asked if this was for a special occasion and I told them. The restaurant treated us to glasses of champagne and free dessert! Talk about knowing how to make an impression so customers come back -- my husband is already asking when we should go again! If you can, ask for Shawn as your waiter. He has that perfect balance of being attentive without being in our faces!

Last night was my third time visiting and I continue to see myself visiting this wonderful restaurant! It's currently Miami Spice and last night was day one. As always, the service was spectacular and the vibe in the restaurant reminds you of home- super relaxing yet thrilling (because of the food and drinks). The appetizers were delicious but the gem was the filet mignon! I had it well done but it was still juicy and full of flavor- thus the chefs there know how to properly cook meat. And the deserts- wow!! What an amazing experience and I highly recommend this restaurant :)

10 years ago this would have been a five star restaurant. In 2013 it is A-Ok, not because the restaurant isn't good but because there are so many good restaurants in Miami and across the country. The space is lovely, the music nice. The food was pleasant and enjoyable but not a knockout. The service was fine -- except for the server dumping the salad in my dinner companion's lap. The server apologized. The waiter came over and apologized. Then manager came over and apologized and offered free dessert. No thanks. Bottom line is that two weeks later, I really can't remember what I ate.

Great place to have healthy and tasty food. We shared the lobster and mozzarella flatbread to start with and it was very good. The dough is very thin and crunchy. The spicy sauce on top was really good. I wish they would have more lobster (shredded). Then we each had the cedar plank salmon with vegetables and crushed potato (one tiny potato). The salmon was very well cooked, served on the piece of smoked wood, with a mini container of grilled veggies (young carrots, green asparagus, orange beets and the crushed potato). On the side, there is a light creamy dill sauce. It was very good. For dessert, they offer a selection of 10 mini desserts (verrine - served in a shot glass). My friend picked the chocolate smores and it looked delicious. Very healthy lunch with good service. It's a great place!

Diana and everyone at Seasons 52 really go out of their way to serve you. I am a repeat customer and neighbor that will continue to visit.

YOU MUST GO TO SEASONS 52 FOR LUNCH DURING CORAL GABLES RESTAURANT WEEK (ENDS ON JUNE 30TH) My boyfriend and I had the best lunch at Seasons 52 today. We visited Seasons 52 for Coral Gables Restaurant Week. During Coral Gables Restaurant Week (which ends on June 30th), they have a three course menu for a really cheap price. $15 for selected appetizer, lunch, and dessert!!! I ordered Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread for an appetizer, Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno for a main course, and Mini Indulgences for a dessert. My boyfriend ordered Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli, Blackened Fish Tacos, and Mini Indulgences. We assumed the portions would be smaller since the price was really cheap so we added Ahi Tuna Tartare as another appetizer. It turned out that the size of the portions remained the same (which is the perfect size - not too big, not too smalll - each dish contains under 500 calories). Ahi Tuna Tartare was AMAZING. I generally don't like raw fish but I had to try this one because of the way they displayed the food, so beautiful. It's a little pricey - $12 for 3 tunas. But that probably means they used real fish instead of fake ones like a lot of cheap sushi restaurants do. Seasons 52's flatbreads are amazing - Ripe Plum Tomato was perfect for appetizer. It looks like it's big because it's so wide but the crust is so thin that you don't get too full unlike a lot of restaurants who offer so much food/calories for appetizer. Our main course - Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno and Blackened Fish Tacos were great too. Blackened Fish Tacos was nothing special, just like any other taco fish you see at any other restaurants, but healthier at Seasons 52. Spicy Chicken Chile Relleno was so amazing! YUM YUM YUM!! Like the name says it's spicy chicken chile relleno, but inside of a green pepper with mozzarella cheese on top! The size was perfect too! Everything fit inside of a green pepper. Seasons 52's famous dessert - mini indulgences - never fail to disappoint me. With 8 different kinds of desserts, you can pick the flavor you like the most. I had always liked Seasons 52 but today, this restaurant became my favorite. Healthy, a lot of choices, and cheap price!! Can it get any better? I calculated the calories of all the foods I consumed at Seasons 52 today. It turns out to be around 1070 calories - which is pretty good for a three course menu!!
(5)Hernani A.
Came with my friends for miami spice. The menu was pretty good and the service as well. Is a little pricey and the typicall gables place full of "executives" which makes it boring for me.... But for a businness meeting or a special ocassion i guess is ok.
(3)Sheila G.
Good food and great atmosphere! Dessert shots are delicious!!!! The key lime pie shot is to die for! Flavorful and made just right!
(4)Lissette C.
I was quite disappointed on the quality of the food. The flat breads were ok and taco awful so don't get them!... The staff was nice but food not so much I wouldn't recommend going here

Did the Chef's Tasting Table Menu. The Ft. Lauderdale location does not do it so we had to drive south for it. There is a separate semi private room they hold it in. (SEE PHOTOS) As expected, it was a wonderful experience. The rate was $79.00 per person (without the wine pairing). We brought our own wine($14.00 corkage fee) The meal is set up with an amuse bouche to start which is brought out by the chef and where he introduces himself. It is then followed by appetizers and 4 courses after that ending with their mini indulgences desserts. This was our lineup: AMUSE BOUCHE: seared scallop ceviche (refreshing and delicious) APPETIZERS:chipotle shrimp flatbread/artichoke & goat cheese flatbread/ seared tuna with ginger relish. The tuna was perfect and it had a side of cucumber salad and wasabi which was really good! Both flatbreads were good but the shrimp one was a tad better. FIRST COURSE:cedar plank roasted salmon & scallops. Probably the only big fault of the night was that the salmon was a bit overcooked but it was all very good. SECOND COURSE: organic arugula beet salad with goat cheese, cranberries and pistachios.They forgot the pistachios but otherwise was fantastic. THIRD COURSE: Sonoma goat cheese ravioli. Completely different than any I have ever had. It was very light with a tomato broth under it all. FOURTH COURSE: Mesquite grilled surf & turf. Lamb t bone and artichoke stuffed shrimp with yukon gold truffle mashed and red wine sauce. Divine. Too bad I was already SO full to finish it. They then brought out a tower of their mini desserts. We started to pick from them but we were told the entire thing was for us. Wow. It was about 3-4 per person. I have never had more than 2 during a visit. When we whined (I blame it on the a-a-a-a-alcohol) about the healthy looking fruit one he happily obliged to bring out other ones to replace it with. They even whipped up new pecan ones for us. Needless to say, service was top notch the entire night! And we are a tough crowd to please. Well, at least, I am. Our waiter and servers were all great and added to the great experience. If I had to change anything at all it would be the background music. Apparently all Seasons 52's have a singer/pianist and although they have all been good, they have not been good enough to last the 4 hours we were there (or have been in the past). Only acceptable in small doses.It becomes a bit much and starts to become annoying. We only realized towards the last 1/2 hour that there is a volume control in the semi private room which we could have shut off. Oh well, live and learn. It happened recently while dining in the Ft. Lauderdale location as well. I initially it must have been kareoke. Ooops. Luckily we were so loud ourselves that we were mostly distracted from it. Overall a wonderful experience I would love to have once again. I think it was priced well and worth every penny. Great job Seasons 52!
(5)Mike A.
I thought the food was yummy. Well presented and very well portion. I had the lobster bisque and OMG extremely well made. My girlfriend had the oak grilled filet. I had the seasonal grilled salmon. Both very tasty very well made :) the dessert presentation was excellent and we tried 4 of them. My favorite by far was the mochiato dessert. The service was great. The servers are trained well and serve the food with care and never crossed there arms or bodies between me and my girlfriend. The price point was good as well... Her and I paid 120 with tip and we had drinks as well. The atmosphere was buzzing and jumping for a Thursday the room had great energy. Go there and go often it was excellent

Seasons 52 is an amazing restaurant! Let me convince you to go there..now! 1. The atmosphere: The second you walk into Seasons you are immediately relaxed by the very cool looking fireplace by the door. The booths are so comfortable and you can really make it a dress up night or come casual. You will fit in either way! It is also fun to sit near the kitchen and you can see them cooking some of the food. 2. Service: The service is excellent. The waitstaff is always very friendly and helpful. The wait for food can sometimes be a bit long as it is crowded, but it is so delicious it is worth it! 3. Menu: They have an absolutely creative menu that offers superb options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The menu changes based on the seasons so I feel like there is always something added when I visit. 4. Food: The vegetable soup is so fresh tasting with tons of hearty vegetables. The salads are on the smaller side, but are full of the best seasonal ingredients. I have never had more perfectly grilled and seasoned veggies in my life! The flatbreads are super tasty and not greasy at all. They are light and tasty. You can't forget the desserts! Oh my goodness! The desserts are in these little cups so you can give everything a taste. They are all so delicious that I can never choose just one! Between mousses, lime cake, and lots of chocolate, everyone will find something he or she truly enjoys! The lime has the perfect amount of tangy and sweetness, the mousse is perfectly fluffy, and the chocolate is delectable and creamy. This restaurant is the perfect combination of healthy, delicious, and fresh. It is surely a top Miami restaurant choice!
(5)Maria A.
Great food for a great price. Had the pesto chicken flatbread, cheese ravioli, and a key lime pie mini for dessert. Delicious! Only thing I would change would be the raspberry lemonade that I had. It was not very good. Other than that, great food and the service was great also.

I went to Seasons 52 after it was recommended to me by several people. Arrived 10/9/14 with a colleague about 7:30pm and was promptly seated. We ordered the Quail and the pork loin entrees. The quail was so tough you could have throw it through a bank window and then used the pork loin to pry the drawer open to steal the tellers money. Terrible! On the good side, the service was exceptional, it's too bad we went there for the food. Perhaps the chefs were just having a bad night. Never again!
(1)Ariadna P.
The food was delicious ! I had a filet mignon with mashed potatoes, asparagus glazed with a red wine sauce. The desserts come in small glasses, they all look delicious! And they also have the option of fresh fruit as a dessert. I was not too happy with the service though, the waitress was very helpful with the menu options but they did not bring us any water and one of our forks had a chunk of food on it which is unacceptable, especially since this restaurant is somewhat pricey. This wasn't enough to say I would never go back, it definitely did not ruin my experience. I loved loved loved the food! So I will definitely be going back! Hopefully soon!!
(4)Michelle F.
Having dinner at Seasons 52 was an absolute delight! Exceptional service from the minute we walked through the door. I made a reservation using "open table" on yelp. I recommend this 100% especially on a busy Friday or Saturday night. The wine selection was great! If you're a fan of Pinot Gris, I suggest "King Estate"-it was amazing. On to the good stuff: FOOD! First off, every item on the menu is under 475 calories! Now don't let that fool you or turn you off, the choices are excellent!!! Recommendations: You mustmustmust have a flatbread. Any type of flatbread. My favorite is the steak, mushroom, spinach, and blue cheese flatbread. If you want something tropical try the ceviche. Shrimp, scallop, coconut, red onion, pineapple, and jalapeño! Oh my! Soo good!! Shrimp with lemon basil sauce and veggies was AMAZING!!!! I will definitely be getting this dish again. Mini indulgences desserts are absolutely amazing. Red velvet was my favorite!!! Great decor, food, drinks, and service! What else can you ask for???

I have never left a restaurant in such a foul mood before. Let me start off by saying this is not a review about the food. The food is fine: not crazy great, not awful. The service however? Left the worst taste in my mouth (pun intended). We had reservations for 8:30. We get there at 8:15. No one says: your table is being set, please be patient. And usually when you're 15 minutes early, a well-run restaurant can still seat you. 15 minutes later, I'm dogging the host for seating four tables before us (granted they were there before us) and a table who walked in after us. Finally, PAST our reservation time, a hostess walks up and apologizes for the delay and our table will be ready shortly. And then 20 minutes after we've walked in, we're finally seated next to five empty tables. Thanks a lot Seasons 52. Orders are taken, it's our first time dining here. We get our drinks and lobster flatbread quickly. FYI: that was not enough lobster on a $15 dish. We get a quick howwastheflatbread and we answer with the required fine. And then we don't see our waitress or any food for another hour. ONE HOUR, our dirty app dish still in front of us and empty water (and drink) glasses later, the runner comes with three out of four dishes. I have to not only tell him one of the dishes is wrong (shrimp risotto instead of shrimp pasta), but one of us is missing our dish.. I fear for the runner because I sound like I'm about to rip his head off. After the rest of my party has eaten half of their meal, the waitress finally shows up with my missing entree, mumbles a sorry and then runs off. Ever heard of asking how we're doing? Maybe getting us another drink or refilling our water? Possibly comping us for completely forgetting to include our missing dish? Nope. By the time we finish, we don't even bother with the lauded mini desserts. It takes forever to flag our waitress to get the check (unsurprising), leaving cash because using a card would probably have taken another good half hour. Is hanger clouding my decision? Sadly, no. Let me end by saying, it WAS Christmas Eve. But despite how busy or understaffed you are, management should teach you to check in with your guests with a smile and explanation of the delay (and refill of drinks). The only saving grace about this atrocious service is that the runner stopped by to make sure we received our missing dish; that probably had nothing to do with Seasons 52 management, but just plain ol' good manners.

Went there for my wife's birthday and the service and attention to detail were amazing. And yes the food was wonderful as well! They really went out of their way to make my wife's birthday dinner special. I can't wait to go back!
(5)Natalie I.
I like the concept of this restaurant, The menu changes every season to feature food the is fresh. Most of the meals are under 500 calories. They have a nice wine selection. And a nice decor. It is a chain restaurant and I prefer restaurants that are local and not chains. But this is a well done chain. Staff is professional and it is a well managed restaurant.
(3)Marvin A.
The food was exceptional and very fresh.

Awesome place. We came here with our family and friends after we got married at the court house. The food was wonderful...I love how all of the dishes are cooked with fresh organic ingredients. The portions are on the smaller side but I prefer quality over quantity any day. We ended up running into rick Scott governor of FL. Had a nice chat with him in a really classy place. Will definitely go back there again.
(4)Virginia M.
Birthday dinner was here and I did not regret one thing about it! Our server was fantastic, the food was exquisite, the ambiance was great with the live piano player and her sultry voice...well, it was unforgettable! I recommend the BBQ Chicken salad- I know, sounds so common but it's filling and so delicious! The dessert presentation is quite clever as it makes you want to eat all of them (you'll have to go in order to find out what I'm talking about!) but the all chocolate one is perfection in a cup! It's not too chocolate-y, it's just right. The menu choices are delicious and everything is under 475 calories which makes looking good very easy!
(5)Ivette R.
Wow Wow Wow can u believe how good Seasons 52 is Oh my God.I went to Seasons 52 in Miracle Mile today and I loved the food
(5)David A.
Seasons 52 is a great restaurant for those looking for a fresh and healthy meal. Everything on the menu has nutritional info listed, all the ingredients are gathered from local farms (supposedly), and the menu rotates seasonally, so there are always new items to try. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and has an excellent bar with live music at nights. I have had a bit of everything on the menu, soups, flat breads, steaks, pork loins, fish, desserts - and they are all great. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that while everything is great, nothing leaps out as being amazing. I will say that the tomato basil soup is amazing (when available), and the flat breads are excellent.
(4)Jorge R.
Lobster flat bread was very tasteful, had the trout & wife had the tuna salad with a tomato bisque. All very delicious. Server was very helpful & courteous, will be going back soon.

There is no jazz here or piano player. Please fix that.

Looking for a Miami Spice menu to try out in the Gables, this was the winner. I had never been before but always heard great things. If you're going in to play along with the whole low calorie, health bit deal, then don't do Miami Spice. However, if you're looking to have a really good meal with excellent service in a nice atmosphere, then this is the place. We arrived at 7 on a Tuesday night to an almost empty dining area. However, by the time we left, the place was packed. They scored points in my book for flat out giving you the Miami Spice menu, unlike some restaurants that try to hide it. We had the tuna and avocado roll, stuffed mushrooms, salad, filet mignon and key lime and chocolate mousse desserts. I can't say I disliked one thing that I tried. We left so full but not disappointed. It's an awesome deal (a $33 dinner menu) for Miami Spice, but I will definitely be back on a regular night.

I've been to Seasons 52 several times and even hosted my office holiday dinner in their private room - I have yet to be let down and have been impressed from day 1. This last time was for my birthday dinner celebration with some friends and was great. As of matter of fact, I have had the same dish the last 2 times I have been there and has been excellent. Their appetizer selection is good and highly recommend the hummus and the goat cheese and artichoke flatbread. My main dish recommendation is certainly the Lamb T-bone chops; you have to have these medium rare to medium - the balsamic vinegar reduction is what brings the gamy flavor of the chops together. The edges and outside were perfectly seared and the inside was tender and flavorful - so great that it leaves you with no choice but to pick up the chop and finish it off by hand. Of course there is only great things to say about their particular way of dessert presentation, portions and selections; on these the rocky road, carrot cake and kit lime pie are my personal favorites. The ambiance is always great with either a small live band or musician playing which gives is a very nice vibe. If there is one improvement that should be considered is on the wait staff, unfortunately the last 2 times, it has been below par in comparison with the food - Thus far there is no doubt that it will be the food that will keep me coming back. Individual Ratings: Ambiance: 4.3 Wine List/Bar: 4.3 Food: 4.5 Service: 3.5 Bon Appétit...

First of all, I love food. This is a restaurant trying to market healthy food which it fails at miserably. I have never had a more tasteless and un-satisfying meal in all my life. They took a juicy buffalo burger that was supposed to be cooked medium rare, cooked it to the consistency of a hockey puck, and put it on a stale, cardboard tasting, whole grain bun. They served said hockey puck with a thimble full of what was supposed to be truffle sauce to try to give it some semblance of flavor. The tots were fried chunks of tofu that again had zero flavor. I imagine this food is what they fed inmates at Alcatraz, #prisonriot. One star because they did have good service. If you enjoy food that tastes good this is NOT the place for you.
(1)Carlos I.
Great service love the lobster tail for under $9 can't wait to sink my teeth into another one of those! Drinks are great too my girlfriend dies for their apple tinis and the flatbreads are great! The Pesto chicken one is my favorite of them all.
(5)Nydia M.
Seasons 52 is pretty delicious, although after checking out their nutritional information online I'm a little turned off by how healthy they claim to be. All of their dishes are under 475 calories. That is per dish. Ordering an appetizer, entree, side dish and dessert can run you over 1500 calories before even getting to a drink. Also, low calorie does not mean low fat and especially not low sodium, but that's what you get in most restaurants. With that said, it is pretty easy to make good and healthy choices here. They have plenty of vegetarian friendly dishes, and the portions are just right. My husband and I came to dinner on a week night with our toddler, and the staff was really accommodating. The ambiance is a little romantic, but nothing kills that like a kid shouting, "DANCE!" when the pianist began to play.
(4)Stephanie T.
I went to Seasons 52 during my lunch break yesterday. Their whole shtick is in-season, healthy food (all menu items under 475 calories. I ordered the jalapeno braised beef tacos. They were abut $10 and absolutely amazing. Great flavor and a lot of food - was hard to believe that the whole thing was under 475 cal. The ambiance was great and the service was good too. I definitely plan to return.
(5)Belinda B.
Katherine! Katherine! Katherine! Great service from the minute we entered! Perfect pairing of wine to complement lunch. Attentive to needs of adults and children. 12 happy diners! I enjoyed the brazino and the desserts. Thank you for a great birthday lunch!
(5)Daniel M.
To start off I was a disappointed that you guys had no bread at the begining of the meal, it was my Dads Birthday so I expected a great culinary experience for the price unfortunately not so!! The service was good but not great they're was a point that we never saw our server and the restaurant wasnt even busy. The food was very so so nothing out of this world very dissapointing also decided to do a super fruit Martini nothing great tasted better Martinis. Dessert was also very lame for such an expensive place all they had was these little samplers of dessert to choose from at least mine was good it was strawberry something with a piece of Cannoli, On a Good note the Piano player was great so at least that made the food bearable. So I was definetly dissapointed after all the great Yelp reviews I expected more from such a high scale restaurant.
(2)Freddy T.
Nice restaurant, decent food but our table service was not very good. I had to walk up to the waiter to get his attention after 10 min of waiting!

My hubby and I headed for Seasons 52 to celebrate the last hurrah of the Miami Spice 2012 season :( The sadness is for the end of the season, not for our experience at the restaurant. In fact, we chose this particular place because it never disappoints. They have consistently good food and we were very glad to learn that they decided to participate in Miami Spice this year. From an earlier experience, we knew that their Miami Spice Menu included some of the most popular items of their regular menu and the portions are generous, so you will feel satisfied at the end of the meal. One thing that you have to keep in mind when you go there is that their menu changes frequently, but it's so expansive that there is always something for everyone. This time I started my meal with the ripe plum tomato flatbread with fresh basil, roasted garlic, and melted Parmesan cheese. I really liked it. Besides, I was so hungry that my hubby was able to grab only one piece before I threatened to kill him if he touched my food again. The flatbread is really thin and crispy and the tomatoes and basil were definitely fresh. If you go to Seasons 52 try one of their flatbreads, they have a great selection and they are always yummy. For his appetizer my hubby ordered the roasted shrimp, lump crab and spinach stuffed mushrooms. This appetizer was delicious and very original. It comes served in the type of dish that is normally reserved for escargot. Each little hole has a serving of mushroom and a whole shrimp with layered spinach, crab and parmesan cheese. One of my new favorite things there. We both wanted to have soup, but we didn't like any of the two options they had so he went with the baby spinach salad with seasonal pears, toasted pine nuts, and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. I love fruit in a salad, so this hit the right spot for me. I know this sounds a little too healthy for us, but we were just starting the meal. I also ordered a salad for my second course :/ but I went with the mixed greens, toasted pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, cucumbers, and white balsamic vinaigrette. It was okay, but I'm not really into ordering salads unless they have tortilla chips and generous servings of chicken, cheese, bacon, chicharrones, truffles or any other similar light topping :) The good thing is that we were only half way through our meal and our entrees didn't disappoint. My hubby had the char crust fillet mignon with cremini mushrooms, rainbow carrots, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes. Ok, I confess that when he excused himself to the bathroom, I ate half his steak and all of the mashed potatoes. But I rearranged everything before he came back and he didn't notice anything missing :) He is a rookie! For my (second?) entree I had the caramelized sea scallops with roasted asparagus, and sun-dried tomato-mushroom pasta. The scallops were yummy! perfectly cooked, moist inside, nicely seared outside, just the right combination of sweet and savory. The pasta was really original. I thought it was israeli couscous at first but then realized it was pasta. It was nice and tender and I cleaned out the plate before my hubby got to try anything (grrr....he had been warned!). Desserts at Seasons 52 are like Christmas to me. They bring you eight (yes, eight) different desserts in shot glasses for you to pick one. Well, not me, I chose a bit more than one and ate them too. My rookie hubby watched them disappear quickly one by one... This was a great way to end a very gratifying Miami Spice Season in 2012.

A plus for me all around. My wife and I have been here for lunch several times and we have always had a good experience. Food has always been fresh.

I just LOVE Seasons 52. I am not a fan of chains at all but boy this restaurant does not disappoint. The menu is seasonal which I love and everything is under 475 calories...WHAT? yes I said it! 475 calories, get ready to eat your heart out! I love the portion sizes as at any other restaurant I have to say a prayer and hope to god that I don't have a heart attack after my meal as the sizes are HUUUUGE. Here, nope, you don't have to say your prayers! The waiter was really friendly and made some jokes throughout the meal. He was attentive and no complains about him. We had the organic pomegranate acai blueberry iced tea which was delish! They charged us $4.25 each (we all had this drink) and he informed me that they sell it in whole foods so today I went to buy some and they were $1.35 there. HUGE difference....I understand it's a restaurant but STILL they are buying it at wholesale prices so there is no excuse to rack it up that much! I digress...onto the meal. We had edamame which was good and all 3 of us had the BBQ chicken with green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes. Now, I usually do NOT eat chicken but I did some research on where their chickens are from and it is like the first certified humane chicken farm in the US and I kept googling if there were any people that found out otherwise behind the scenes and reported it but everything turned up really well. Way to go Seasons 52! It was really good and you could tell that the meat had no hormones or additives in it. I've also had the shrimp with pasta dish in the past which was also mmm-mmm-good! We skipped on the dessert and headed to Misha's cupcakes but they did look pretty tasty here!! Next time next time....
(4)Ana S.
Great environment and customer service. I love the Brussels sprouts there, they are absolutely amazing!! Also they have live music right by the bar which is great for a calm night accompanied by a glass of wine.

The food here was excellent. I had the lobster bisque as an appetizer and it was VERY good. As an entree I had the Maui Ahi Tuna Crunch Salad, which had grilled pineapple, seared tuna, & almonds with a toasted sesame dressing. It was very good, but a bit plain, in my opinion. I also had a very delicious glass of Riesling (Selbach-Oster QbA) which was amazing! My husband had the Mayan Grouper with a black bean salad that added a tropical flavor to it which he really enjoyed and my son had a very generous portion sized children's grilled chicken and vegetables platter. For dessert we had a peanut butter something or the other and another called Rocky Road which was my favorite. What I liked the most about this place was the entertainment. Tonight they had a young woman playing the piano and singing. I'm not sure if it was my melancholic mood, but she played beautifully and sang equally great. She transformed songs that play on the radio as dance and even hip hop songs into jazzy/bluesy almost depressing melodies, which for this particular night was exactly what my ear wanted. From Usher to Camila, along with the tasteful decor and dim lighting, her talent made the ambiance of this restaurant a very pleasant one. Overall, great experience. You should try it.

The clever concept raises the bar on everyday retaurants. The food is good, healthy and well prepared. The staff is expertly trained. While Seasons 52 will never make the James Beard Best list! It is a place you can eat each week without getting bored.

I was very impressed after my lunch here! Walking in there is definitely a steakhouse ambiance but don't be fooled the menu is 5 stars healthy gourmet and surprisingly delicious! At 475 calories a plate this is the perfect place to share a few plates and not balloon up the calories. Our waiter Donavan was definitely the hostess with the mostess. He recommended me a great cocktail, the pomegranate martini, I absolutely loved it. It was refreshing but not to sweet nor overly salty like a margarita. The food was fresh and light but yet delicious. We devoured every dish including the mini indulgent desserts, a must try! Great lunch spot...can't wait to come back for dinner!

I tried Seasons 52 at the suggestion of several coworkers who raved about the place. I will admit that when I heard the dishes were all 475 calories I wasn't expecting much flavor. However I was pleasantly surprised. We started off with the Blackened Steak & Blue Cheese flatbread which was very good. For the entree we had the Springer Mountain Farm All-Natural BBQ Chicken and Swordfish. Both were flavorful and considerably sized portions. The size of our Pecan Pie and Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse was just right to make us feel content and not overly stuffed. The service was also on point.

Hadn't had such a great dining experience in awhile! From the moment we walked in, service was impeccable. We arrived a bit earlier than our reservation and sat for a little while at the bar, the bartender was really good and the drinks were well made. We were promptly seated at the time of our reservation, the ambiance is quite inviting and romantic. Noise level is enough to be able to carry a conversation. Now onto the food...we tried the Plum Tomato Flatbread, Shrimp and lobster stuffed mushrooms and my date had the fillet mignon. Everything was delicious! This place has a new fan! can't wait to go back.

I don't know where to start with this review... should I tell you how awesome it was to have a sweet and attentive waiter first? Or how nice it is to sit back and enjoy a meal while worrying a teeny bit less about the calorie count? Or maybe I should skip straight to dessert and tell you how I housed two decadent and delicious dessert shots before my dining partner had time to look up from his. Wherever I start this review it's going to end at the same glowing description of a much needed evening out. This was a cheat meal that didn't make me feel like I had cheated at all. Seasons 52 has taken healthy to a finer dining level. While you may be put off by smaller portion sizes, stop and remember they've done that on purpose to keep their entrees under 475 calories. I'm willing to pay an extra buck or two for that and a more seasonally focused menu, which they also boast. They change their weekly specials 52 times a year (which is why their name is Seasons 52). I definitely recommend making a reservation since we heard people waiting upwards of 45 minutes on a Saturday night. I can't wait to come back here and try different parts of their menu. Dinner on this trip was the pork tenderloin and the scallops -- both entrees were delicious! I stopped and noted that nothing tasted like it had MSG in it, a welcomed surprise I'll tell you! If you're looking for a date night that won't bust your belt, come to Seasons 52 -- you'll feel fancy without feeling flabby!

The first thing that struck me upon walking in is that this restaurant does not feel very "Miami." It's a rather large, handsome, dimly lit, brick & wood affair. There are quite a few tables and booths, and to the left of the restaurant sits a stately, substantial bar with live piano music (at least when I was there on Sunday night). It looks and feels like something I would expect in Aspen or Vail. The only things missing are hooks for winter coats, and snow bunnies in stretch pants sitting at the bar. Service is amiable to say the least - and very Houstons-like with the entire staff clad in black. The food? I'll get to that in a second. I just have to come right out and say it, though - this place is not "cool." It's by no means the urban-chic that seems to be so ubiquitous in Miami right now. In fact, it seems to be a bit of a throwback, beginning with the patrons - let's just say that the median age here seems to be pretty high. By no means will this place set your little hipster hearts aflutter. The menu is a modest one-pager, wine list on the front. It seemed to be a nice list. Beers on offer are a bit lame, though they do have Cigar City's Jai-Alai. I didn't see a cocktail menu, though I suspect they are capable of mixing up some excellent "classic" cocktails. I'll test this suspicion out someday. I think the idea here is healthy, yet flavorful, fine dining, with a menu that changes by the season (hence, the name). None of the entrees top 475 calories, and that's true of the apps, too. I was in my Yelp review mode, so I was hoping to order as much as I thought I could eat. I started out with a seasonal roasted squash plate ($3.75!) and the grilled steak and cremini mushroom flatbread. The winter squash was tasty and very simple. There were meaty slabs of what I think were butternut, acorn and delicata varieties. When was the last time you had such a healthy appetizer? I was a big fan of the flatbread - extremely thin crust with equally thin slices of steak, chunks of mushroom and dabs of melted blue cheese. After that, I had the wood roasted pork tenderloin, and I was impressed. The succulent, moist pork medallions were perfectly cooked to medium (as noted by the server), not at all overdone and dry as pork sometimes can be. It carried with it a slight hint of maple and rosemary. The meat rested on a bed of polenta, spinach and more cremini mushrooms - a subtle dish, no doubt, but very well-executed. Desserts come in shot glasses for $2.50. I love this concept. They come out with a tray of 7-8 of them, and hand them to you on the spot when you choose. I went with the pecan pie-in-a-shot-glass. It was great, how could pecan pie not be? I also loved the vanilla mousse underneath the "pie" part, that was a nice touch. And yes, your shot glass is 475 calories or less, though I'm guessing that they all scrape up against that 475 calorie ceiling ;) I'm looking forward to coming back. I think we need more restaurants like this in Miami.

Some one in management just ruined one of the best places in Miami by getting rid of the piano player. We used to love it. Have spent thousands of dollars over the last years and the reason, the only place in town with a piano bar. We went Sunday, it was ridiculous. Instead of fine entertainment there was a liquor display. Seasons neither has the best food nor best wine, you got rid of the best thing you had going. Won't be going back, its now like a funeral parlor.
