    We just completed the most amazing holiday meal at Seasons 52 - Chestnut Hill. From our welcome experience when we arrived, to our departure- absolutely everything was exceptional. We waited at the bar and ordered drinks ( the barter who concocted the drinks was definitely on point) and appetizers while our table was being readied. Our other wonderful bartender made certain that our appetizers arrived at our table, after we had left the bar. Kya - our waitress- was unbelievably fantastic. We wish that we could name them all. I can’t say enough about the seamless customer care and superb service that we enjoyed from this team this evening. Thank you Seasons 52 for your commitment to excellence. We are grateful!

    Only negative for today was the terrible valet service. After waiting 15 minutes we decided to find a garage and park ourselves. Understandably it was a rainy day but cars were lined up down the street waiting to be parked or at least see a valet. Definitely not a good day for the valet attendants. Once inside our experience was amazing as always.
