Best Wine Bars in Pigtown

We arrived at 8 pm for reservation. Hostess informed us several tables were still clearing out and that she would text us when the table was ready. We hung out at the bar area, which was very nice. Excellent old-fashioned cocktail with just the right combination of bitters and sweetness. At 830, our table still wasn't ready. The manager apologized and offered us a large round table in the bar area. While it was noisier in this area, the ambiance was quite nice. They had a guitarist playing acoustic as well. The food was excellent, including oysters, sea bass, and braised short rib. Ojai vineyards 2016 pinot noir was terrific and decanter provided. The manager also provided us with a complimentary glass of wine for our troubles. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for small groups, special occasions, or even to grab a quick bite at the bar while watching a sporting event.

We had the most amazing winter tonight. He made menu suggestions that were spot on! We enjoyed our seafood and a piece of butter cake as we enjoyed our view of the Harbor!

Excellent service by all the staff involved food came hot and ready

My wife and her good friend dined here for lunch, which they each enjoyed, as always. Nice ambiance, comfy booth, solid service. The food is always very good at Seasons 52. My wife’s friend started with a fall special soup (squash+) and had the chicken pesto flatbread (I’ve had it in the past….good stuff). My wife ordered the Ahi tuna Maui crunch salad, which became a little story. She requested dressing on the side. The kitchen messed up and not only dressed the salad but they “overdressed” it. Their excellent(!) server, Darrell, apologized and was prepared to have the kitchen redo it, but my wife adroitly asked for more greens to essentially delete the dressing. A generous portion of greens was delivered, my wife loved the result, the restaurant didn’t have to toss out an overdressed salad…victory all around. Seasons 52 remains one of our upscale casual dining go-to joints. It’s special and deserves all its success.

Food and drinks were great. It was a little loud with the piano and a couple of large groups but will definitely be back!
