   S52 is our go to place for some pre-show dinner. The Crab cake, Ponzu broth - poached Butterfish, and grilled Sea Scallops were really delicious 😋, and the wine pairing of the Tasmanian Jansz Brut Rose with the Crab Cake, as well as the La Crema Chard from Monterey with the Scallops and the Paul Hobbs Chard-Crossbarn from the Sonoma Coast with the Butterfist were excellent! A delicious meal and highly recommend. Eric our server was awesome taking us through the expansive seasonal menu, and attentive service. Cheers to the folks at S52 for another great experience. We really miss the lounge piano player S52 used to have in the lounge. See you again next month! :0)

   So, dealing with a very crowded and loud restaurant today... mostly I believe due to holiday shopping and what seemed to be lot of office parties... this made it very loud, and service a little off, but not awful and I will give them a break due to how busy they were.... Food is really good, and overall a very good lunch....

   Waiter made great recommendations. Started with Lump Crab and Shrimp Mushrooms. They are excellent. Followed with Sesame-Grilled Salmon salad which was also delicious.

   I have been to S52 many times. This was my first time giving a less than outstanding review. It was a packed restaurant with big parties and we were seated outside. We asked to be moved somewhere quieter, and although they did accommodate us, we had to take a table that was in a colder location and our one heater ran out of fuel. The food was okay. I ordered the cedar plank salmon which is normally my favorite. It was very salty, a bit over cooked, and had a lot of gray meat at the bottom. The artichoke & radish appetizer was tasty but undercooked and difficult to cut into bite-sized pieces. My meal was to have been served with green beans, but it came with broccolini. One of the 3 fish dishes at our table was missing the mustard sauce. I will go back, but I think the overall quality suffered bc they were so busy.

   We ate on the patio and it was warm. The fire place added a nice ambiance . Our server was very friendly and our food was served hot. Over all it was a great experience. Thanks.

   We’ve dined here several times and typically enjoy our experience. Tonight was disappointing. Our drinks were hardly refilled and used appetizer plates were left on the table after our entrees were served. My steak was very salty, the hummus was sour, and we had to ask for butter for the lobster. The peanut butter dessert was very thick and hard to get down as our drinks were empty. We felt forgotten by our waiter. There was also way too much time between courses. It took over 2.5 hours to get through appetizers, entrees, and dessert. The amazing cauliflower and aged cheddar soup from the fall menu is now gone. The winter menu leaves something to be desired. We’ll probably be back at some point in a different season. As for now there are much better options in the area.

    I took a friend for a birthday dinner and the restaurant and our server made it extra special, with flowers on the table, a birthday card, and a dessert for the birthday girl. Our meals were also amazing, with the butter fish a real stand out.
