    We had a 7:00 pm reservation and we were promptly seated at 7:00 pm. When I made the reservation I asked to be seated in the quieter area of the restaurant, which they did. Our waitress, Veronica, was great and made several recommendations on entrees. She was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was cooked to perfection and was delicious. We had the lump crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer and it was delicious. I had the 8 oz filet mignon, medium/rare with the broccolini and mashed potatoes. It was excellent. Cooked just right and the portion size was satisfying. My wife had the roasted mushroom flatbread and it was delicious. We truly enjoyed our Christmas Eve dinner at Season 52.

    A great experience, we were a little early but they were more than happy to sit us at a prime sunset viewing table. David, our waiter, was great and gave some awesome recommendations and went above and beyond whenever he could. We could not have asked for a better meal
