Best Lunch Restaurants in Longwood

Took my in laws from out of town with my husband for a nice dinner out as a Christmas gift. Had great drinks and the carpaccio appetizer was delicious. I had the catch of the day which was the Sea Bass with roasted potatoes and broccolini. It was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. I was so happy that I ordered it. My husband had the pork chop, my mother in law the fettuccini with lobster and shrimp, and my father in law the stuffed raviolis with a side of meatballs (which I tried and will be ordering next time). All in all the food here was fantastic and has always been on our trips here in the past. The service was only ok. It was pretty busy so we didn’t see our server as much as we would have liked. I wanted to get another beverage but she never came by until dinner was cleared to ask about our dessert. Thought we would see her again since staff usually stops by during dinner to check on how your food is. Not a big deal but it was noticeable.

We had a great dinner. Although they advertise seasonal menus, they really don't change much, which is a good thing because most of our favorites remain consistent. We love the artichoke and hummus appetizer, the lamb was perfectly prepared and the shrimp and grits were delicious. Great wine selection topped off by those fun little desserts. Our server, Michael, was outstanding - we've made a note of his name so we can request him again. Season's 52, and this location specifically, deliver a relaxing experience with really good food and service. We are fond of it.

Great, authentic italian food. Great flavors! Well prepared. Reasonably priced. Friendly service. The outdoor seating was such a pleasant experience, with a nice view of Crane's Roost. I would recommend this place anytime.

Excellent evening as always. Only major complaint was it was overcrowded. They stuck too many extra tables in and we were being knocked right and left. We got moved eventually. Food and wines delicious as always. It’s always tricky eating out around Xmas season, as everyone is doing the same thing. Love the breads, and that they made me a dish that wasn’t on the menu. PS you need additional restrooms.

The gumbo is delicious and we also sampled the shrimp and andouille sausage cheese grits, which was excellent!
