Seasons 52

This place was just blocks from our hotel and after being in the car for 9 hours I didn’t want to drive far to eat. This place did not disappoint. The service was great and the ambience in the restaurant was wonderful. Our server was Ashley H, and before we finished our meal my husband and I were wishing we could hang out with her, she was just so fun and very personable. We joked and laughed it was awesome; on top of that she was very attentive and we didn’t want for anything. She was very knowledgeable about the wine and I loved what she recommended. Being from Utah it’s hard to get quality cocktails so my hubby got a gin martini with a twist and it was so delightful I strayed from my usual path and got one for my second drink, it was deliscious!
The food was absolutely deliscious! We had Lump crab, roasted shrimp, spinach stiffed mushrooms as an app. I don’t care for mushrooms unless they are cut small but, my hubby loves them so I thought I would try mushrooms again in the hopes I will like the someday. Unfortunately, I didn’t like the actual mushroom but the stuffing was delish, very creamy and an adequate amount of crab and shrimp. My hubby ate my leftover mushrooms and he was quite pleased. If you like mushrooms I’m sure you will be in love with these.
My husband ordered the Lemon and herb roasted whole broccolini. He cleaned the whole plate. He was excited at how perfectly cooked the veggies were, not soggy at all and seasoned beautifully. The fish was moist and also seasoned well. I didn’t get to try because he ate it all.
I tried the Wood grilled pork tenderloin and it was delightful. The pork was cooked very well and the zest jus was a perfect sauce for the pork as well as the accompanying veggies. I was in love with the green beans and bacon. I could have eaten a whole plate with or without the zest jus.
If I’m ever in the area I would defiantly eat here again. Quite frankly I’m sad there isn’t a seasons 52 in Utah. I guess I need to plan another trip to Indiana.

Let me start with the good… this is GREAT food! The downsides are the price and it was so so dark in there that I couldn’t see to order. I had to use the light from my phone. The server used a flashlight to show us the desserts. Maybe I’m just getting old. I really liked the set up and loved that there was live music playing. I had the short rib cheddar flat bread and it was so delicious! I will definitely go back when I have the extra money to spend!

Although Season’s 52 has been in Indy for a long time, I had never dined here until recently. I also have a tendency to NOT dine out locally since we travel so often and eat out often enough for our tastes.
Another issue that I have not shared is I have gluten free daughter.
That all said Season 52 has a ever changing Menu and could easily accommodate her Gluten-​free needs. We dined on the pear, spinach salad. Nice touch they brought it out already split for 2. Fish tacos served on corn tortillas which again caters to the gluten free and also a gluten free flat bread with a modest charge for the gluten free.
Service was good, restaurant is very attractive. In rereading my review, you may wonder why I gave the restaurant 4* as opposed to 5*. Food was very good but not great.

I haven’t been back in over a year because I became ill after having dinner here one night. :/
But it’s a good thing my grandparents decided to take me out for a birthday dinner right before Christmas. Services was fabulous, and of course the food was too. Everything was delicious and I wouldn’t have changed a thing from my three courses.
1) LUMP CRAB CAKE APPETIZER — Maryland-​style, mustard sauce (280 cal)
2) ASIAN-​GLAZED CHILEAN SEA BASS ENTRÉE — organic black rice, snow peas, shiitake mushrooms, micro wasabi (580 cal)
3) CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER TORTE — Mini chocolate cake, chocolate sauce, peanut butter mousse, peanut tuile (320 cal)
Being the seafood lover I am, I was lucky enough to try the other dishes ordered too.
— CARAMELIZED GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS
— LOBSTER PAPPARDELLE
Seriously, plates licked clean. I’m ready for another round.

Great selection of fresh foods (veggies, entrees, appetizers). You just can’t go wrong. I like coming during the happy hour selection (which ends at 630pm), allowing us to have almost an entire tasting of various dishes. The scallops and the lamb chops are amazing and you will probably order more than 1 of each during this hour. I ALWAYS have an extra dirty martini here with Kettle One Vodka. They do such a great job and they hand stuff the olives themselves. This is always a plus.
I ordered the branzino. I don’t know how they do it but the meat is soft and flaky, yet the skin is perfectly salty and crunchy.

Gosh, their breadsticks are NOT good and the wait service was NOT the best tonight. Our waitress struggled giving us a wine recommendation. Their timing was also poor, serving some things too quickly, others too slowly. The soup was wonderful but wasn’t hot (temp).
Good things (yes, there were several): martini (classic) was great although their idea of a twist was a quarter piece of lemon rind; the bar singer was awesome, the lobster papperdelle was delicious, the mushroom bisque, although not warm enough, was also delicious, and the wine that I chose was good.
The manager came to us about the bread and was very accommodating, brought us some ‘crispbread’which was ok. I wish Seasons would serve a good bread though.

If you’re wanting to eat out on Thanksgiving and leave the cooking and dishes to someone else, I highly recommend Seasons 52. My family loves this place, so it was an easy choice when we decided to eat out this year. Make a reservation early to save your spot — we made ours about a month before Thanksgiving. They had already served 200 guests in the first 90 minutes! Seasons 52 is open 11am-​8pm on Thanksgiving Day.
We were seated immediately at a booth and given our menus. I was surprised that you could order anything off the regular menu but of course they had the Thanksgiving plate for $ 26.90 per adult. Our meals were out in under ten minutes. I was a bit worried with Seasons 52’s healthy approach that they would skimp on the servings. HA. Out came a large plate with heaping piles of dark and white turkey meat, mashed potatoes drenched in gravy, string green beans, squash with pomegranate seeds, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Did I mention the rosemary dinner rolls with PUMPKIN BUTTER? This was a feast for the gods. I couldn’t finish all my plate so I brought the rest home for leftovers (score!).
The price also included a seasonal pumpkin pie mini indulgence topped with whipped cream, cinnamon, and the softest and most delicious ginger snap you’ve ever eaten.
Seasons 52’s Thanksgiving celebration is a well-​oiled machine and they know what they’re doing. I would highly recommend bringing your family here for the holiday! I thought the price was reasonable considering all the food that you got and the high quality of each component. Bravo!

Ate dinner here last night. Love this place! So easy to eat here on a Paleo Diet (equally easy if you have other dietary restrictions such as Vegan, Dairy Free, Low Sodium, etc.).
I had cedar plank salmon with roasted root vegetables and asparagus, and a nice glass of Malbec.
My dining companions (with no dietary restrictions) had lamb, sea scallops, ahi tartare, and salads. They loved everything as much as I loved my meal.

Went on Friday night with a group of friends. This was my first time. Upon arrival the smell of garlic was wafting through the air. That’s pretty enticing to me. The décor inside was intimate.
Ordering a bottle of wine was cheaper for us than individual drinks for hubby and I. Many things on the menu sounded good, especially with their fall menu items included. The butternut squash soup with smooth and full of flavor. While the crab cake I ordered was crispy, I wish it had some more flavor.
Hubby ordered the scallops. They were buttery and seared to perfection. I would have eaten lots of the risotto that was a side with the scallops.
We didn’t order dessert, but they looked very tempting. Bringing the finished product to the table is genius. I could have ordered three.
Overall it was a good experience with a great wait staff. Not sure if it makes my list to return to very soon.

Whatever you do, do not skip the dessert. Specifically the dessert shooters.
I’ve been here several times and have never been disappointed by any dinner entrée. Although the atmosphere with the dimmed lighting and pianist seems like one that would be more fitting for an evening out with the sig other, it’s actually a great spot for a large group. I’ve been here twice now on a stop for a media dinner with a larger group each time and the staff was always very accommodating and friendly.

I’ve been back a few times since having the pleasure of attending a Unilocal event here, and have found that the food and service here is now consistently excellent!
Many of the items we enjoyed at the food and wine pairing dinner here are now on the regular menu. At my most recent visit I had an amazing rack of lamb with a pomegranate sauce, roasted root vegetables, and mashed potatoes. The lamb was cooked a perfect medium rare, just as I ordered it, and was tender and extremely flavorful. I also enjoyed an arugula and white truffle salad which was fresh, and in my opinion, had just the right amount of truffle flavor.
The number of wines available by the glass is outstanding. It is so nice to have a choice of more than a couple of reds and a couple of whites. They even pour a taste before pouring the rest of the glass which is a very nice touch!
I think the quality of the food has improved significantly since the menu is no longer restricted to dishes under 475 calories. Calories are still listed on the menu, which is great for helping customers make informed choices, but removing the 475 restriction has led to greater variety and more reasonable portions for dinner entrees. Compared to other restaurants, with most entrees in the 1000+ calorie range, there are far more delicious options here for under 600 calories. The emphasis on local ingredients when possible, and fresh food with vegetables as more than an afterthought, are also big positives!
Service was great! Courses were nicely timed, and the amount of attention was perfect; not too much or too little. Reservations are a good idea, even on weeknights, and it seems like they’ve worked out the kinks and are now running on time for reservations. This is a great place for a consistently good meal.

Break free from the humdrum of the lifeless, chain gang restaurants. This classy establishment is the perfect collaboration of upscale and casual, with a dollop of night club and a dash of romance. The perfect recipe for a fabulous dining experience on the Northside!
Seasons 52 is now a go-​to choice for our weekly date night! We start the night right with some free valet parking. Great if you’re wearing heels or running late. I’m usually the latter. We walk into the dim-​lit, open dining room with booths, tables, bar, private rooms and an visible kitchen. Oh, and there’s live music behind the bar. Yes, where the bartenders are working, there is a singer playing sweet melodies on a keyboard. There’s something about a live singer that kicks the romance up a few levels. Totally worth sitting in the bar seating to hear sultry voices sing as you enjoy good wine, good food and good company.
Service here is always top notch! You get the rundown of specials, new seasonal items and drinks. They give great recommendations and let you try things before ordering. They will pour me a taste of wine so I can make sure I like it before making the commitment. They will even cater to the picky husband and his requests to try stuff on the menu before ordering. I will typically go for a soup or the goat cheese ravioli for a starter. All the soups are fantastic! So far, we’ve tried the asparagus, summer corn and roasted tomato. All truly exceptional. Rob always gets his duck lollipops — a teriyaki-​type sauce with a kick over duck legs. Tender meat with a crispy skin. Great combo.
Their menu is seasonal, changing with the seasons. Fish usually takes center stage in the chef’s suggestions box, featuring limited time items. The cedar plank salmon is always a favorite of Mr. Amey. I can’t go wrong with a salad or a flatbread. Salads are fresh, crisp and flavorful. Flatbreads are typical, but still super tasty. When I’m feeling famished, I’ll go for the filet mignon. That thing just melts in your mouth. Total mouth-​gasm.
Finally, the price is the same here as any chain restaurant. So if you’re going to fork over $ 70 for some food, make it count. You won’t be disappointed. Pinky promise.

At a dark and candlelit table, one man and one woman shared an anniversary meal. Looking over the menu, the couple pondered their next move. Should they order fish? What about steak? The summer menu had a plethora of tempting dishes that caused the two great stress in choosing just one. Was it socially appropriate to order «one of everything?» No. Probably not.
When Laura, the server, arrived to take their orders, the bride and groom had solidly landed on dinner plans. With the swiftness of a spider chased by an incoming shoe, he ordered the oak grilled mignon, red wine sauce on the side. She elegantly ordered the Lobster Pappardelle, and they decided to first share a artichoke and fora cheese flatbread. Laura retreated to the kitchen to place their orders while the two sat anxiously awaiting their platters.
The flatbread came out first and stole their breath away. As soon as they finished the last bite, the couple received their steak and lobster. The steak was a little rarer than preferred… Or so he thought. When he took a bit he realized this is the exact way God had intended steak to taste.
The lobster was flavorful, the woman found out. And the pasta was excellent as well.
They are heartily, tipped happily, and hopped on Unilocal to write a review that is too long for anyone to read.
The End

Amazing restaurant decoration, live bar piano show, appetizer ravioli is ok, but my plate salmon is too dry, and green beans are too hard to chew, not a impressive experience so far…

I had been recommended this place through a friend. Myself and 2 others were in the area (all 3 of us out of town) and were looking for a place to eat. At the time, I was following a gluten and dairy free diet. My friend is a vegetarian (doesn’t even eat fish) and the 3^rd friend has no dietary restrictions. By nature 2 of us with diet restrictions would be a pain in the behind to eat with… we checked this place out and found it to be fantastic! Both of us with diet restrictions were able to easily identify things we could eat and the food was outstanding. Speaking from someone who off and on follows a gluten and dairy free diet, I am always impressed to find places that can accommodate. Sometimes when you are following the diets you get the grossest food ever that is just plain bland and boring. Seasons 52 was not the case.
The offerings change with the seasons so they stay up to date with what is in season which was a huge relief and made the meal even more delightful. The food tasted and looked fresh and was just absolutely delicious.
I didn’t realize this place was a chain until we saw a marketing piece. Never would I have assumed this place was a chain as it lacks that «chain» feel. It felt elegant and casual at the same time really maximizing the opportunity for reasons to visit. You could easily have it be paired with a dressy date night or a casual happy hour with friends and all not feel out of place.

I wasn’t planning on dining at Seasons 52, a modestly sized national chain owned by Darden Restaurants emphasizing a menu that changes seasonally and offers fresher, healthier ingredients with all entrees said to have fewer than 475 calories. They also are known for offering an extensive, international wine list. All the featured items on the right side of their menu change on a weekly basis.
I was pretty sure I was dressed too casually and I sensed a little hesitation as I wheeled into the Keystone Crossing location of Seasons 52. I was a little disheveled, but not sloppy. I was a little unkempt, but not truly messy. I certainly wasn’t the only one dressed casually, but I’ll admit I felt under-​dressed the minute I entered their beautifully decorated entryway with warm woods, a meditative fountain at the entry way, atmosphere-​setting lighting, and uniformly dressed employers whom all radiate a sense of calm and casual warmth.
Truth be told, I arrived in Seasons 52 hoping for a friendly face and a good meal. While I’d put Seasons 52 on the lower end of finer dining, I was fully prepared to spoil myself a bit and wanting to eat a healthier meal. The other truth is that, for whatever reason, Father’s Day for me this year was a bit more melancholy than usual. My daughter passed away years ago and I seldom observe the «day,» preferring to simply not worry about it. Today, I wanted to observe it with a special meal and a sense of remembering.
The hesitation I sensed, while partly my own, was also from a hostess whom I’m sure looked at me and kind of wondered if I’d stumbled into the right restaurant. Fortunately, she didn’t flinch at all and, in fact, had another employee prepare a table and made sure she moved the chair. It was kind of a nice touch to have it moved before I arrived at the table.
The restaurant was busy but not full and it seemed like most of the diners were with fathers and grandfathers celebrating the day together. I was pleasantly surprised to not be taken to an isolated two-​top in the corner, but offered a four-​top table in a decent location.
The menu tends to consist of healthier fare, of course, so don’t plan on ordering a burger & fries here. I opted for a roast chicken selection with spring vegetables, Yukon Gold mash, and herb-​lemon sauce for $ 16.95. It seemed like most of the entrees were priced in the $ 15 — 25 range with appetizers and salads available in the $ 7 – 10 range. I also ordered my usual unsweetened iced tea and it was refilled twice, once without my asking and once as a way of determining if I was finishing up or lingering a bit. My entire bill ran about $ 21+ without tip. You can easily eat within this range, though it’s also easy to add salads, appetizers, and/​or dessert and have the price add up.
Seasons 52 does offer a «Happy Hour Menu» from 4pm — 6:30pm on Monday — Friday that offers smaller plates of popular menu items for $ 5. It’s a great way to give the place a try, though I have yet to try it out.
For whatever reason, I was really feeling melancholy from Father’s Day today and really appreciated the quality customer service despite showing up a bit under-​dressed and unkempt. I felt a wee bit out of place, but was not made to feel «out of place» by the staff. I needed kindness today and that’s what I got from the staff including server Tammy, whose friendliness fit the atmosphere yet also felt warm and sincere.
The food was good with both a delicious taste and decent serving size. It was «healthy,» but you also felt like you were getting a true meal. In a restaurant, that’s not always an easy balance and this definitely worked.
Sometimes, a little kindness makes all the difference in the world. Today, I got that plus a quality meal from the folks at Seasons 52. When I show up again, and I will, I’ll likely dress up just a bit more but really appreciated that on a day when a little human connection was needed I was able to come in «as is» and be welcomed and treated well.

My wife and I haven’t had a better experience in Indy in a while.
We hadn’t been to seasons 52 before but had seen it in various cities and heard good things from our friends. I booked a table through Unilocal for our anniversary and mentioned it was our anniversary. The amazing part was that the lady who checked us in at the hostess station knew it was a special occasion and congratulated us there and it continued the rest of the evening. We were about 30 minutes early, so we shacked up at the bar for a bit. We ordered some drinks and out with the drinks came another congrats and a Champagne toast from the bartender.
As our reservation time slot hit, we closed out at the bar and walked towards the hostess. Before we could open our mouths, she greeted us by name and took us to our table. The table had a hand written note from the Exec Chef thanking us for choosing them. A moment later the waiter arrived with another congrats and more champagne. We conversed for a bit, then decided on apps and got them ordered. Once again, a few minutes later, out pops the Exec Chef with a special one bite app for us that he ‘created just for us’.
From there, the rest of the night was filled with great food. My wife had the rack of lamb and i had the tenderloin. They were both very flavorful and made us happy. especially for 475 calories. They were cooked perfectly and hit the spot, not much more I can say.
We will definitely be back and a big thank you to Seasons 52. Well done and by far some of the best service we’ve experience stateside in a while!

What is it about reigning in eating habits that promotes multiple dinners to pop onto the calendar? It always seems the moment I’ve got myself in check, everyone I work with comes to town. Thanks to Seasons 52, I don’t have to panic. No more menu searching and scrambling to decide what I can eat before we arrive. It’s all I can do not to squeal with delight each time I pick up the menu.
The beets. I love beets. I drink beet juice virtually every morning. The health benefits are nice, yes, but really I just love the earthy taste. It reminds me of spending time with my grandparents when I was a kid. Seasons 52 has yet to serve me a dish with beets that I haven’t loved. My favorite? The warm golden beets with wasabi cream. The last few times I was in, their beets were served with goat cheese and a balsamic drizzle, I believe. Still wonderful, but the wasabi cream is still my favorite. A close second favorite is the caramelized sea scallops. Often one of the lower calorie entrees, they are always top on taste, regardless of the accompaniment.
Don’t leave without trying one of their mini-​indulgences. Short on calories? I’ve been there. Do the beets and a mini-​indulgence. Completely worth it, in my humble opinion. All I’ve tried have been won.der.ful. and I believe I’ve tried them all at this point! If you’re looking for a meal that will both excite your taste buds and leave you will a full, but not sick, belly then make your way to Seasons 52.

Be sure to get their for the Happiest Hour 4 – 6:30PM. $ 5 gets you a small plate of about 10 different items from the menu. The scallops and scampi were excellent.
The menu changes with the seasons and there is a fresh weekly menu as well. Very reasonably priced, add a Maine lobster tail for $ 10. Mahi Mahi and the Crab entrée salad were both very tasty.
There is usually a piano man in the bar area, but his music is projected throughout the restaurant, not in an annoying way, but as good background noise.
Service here was excellent.

If you don’t fall in love with this Seasons 52 location for the healthy and tasty eats, then Barbara, the ridiculously friendly and on-​it manager will do the trick. I would love to see more chain restaurants taking a healthy and fresh approach to their menu. Seasons 52 changes the menu quarterly keeping seasonal and low calorie options in mind.
If dishes like turkey skewers with cucumber, tomato and herb salad, soft grilled pita, and cilantro sour cream don’t do it for you, maybe their selection of mini desserts (that pack a serious punch) will.
A few other quick notes:
–this location often has a live piano performer in the middle of the bar
–check out their flights and flatbreads menu — great afterwork meetup spot
–they’re also known for their wine — check out the cool cellar room to your right in the entryway
