And here's the second restaurant review of the night! Tonight we went with some of my current and former co-workers to Seasons 52 a really terrific, sort of upscale-casual restaurant. It's a nationwide chain, although I had never been to one (or even heard of it) before they opened here in Plano. Their handle is fresh, seasonal food and the menu changes quarterly, with weekly specials. All the plates are under 475 calories (although of course if you have more than one plate, or a glass of wine or two, all bets are off).
We started with a couple of flatbread appetizers, the roasted tomato flatbread and (our favorite) the chipotle bbq shrimp flatbread. Those were quickly devoured. I had a tomato-avocado salad on arugula and my one observation was that I should have asked for the dressing on the side like I usually do - it was really too much dressing! For main course, I had the weekly special broiled grouper, served over haricots verts and black beans. This was excellent. Mike had the filet, which he's ordered before, and really liked it. We went with the server's recommendation of a riesling wine and were very pleased with the choice.
Seasons 52 offers a selection of dessert "shooters" which are the perfect size to finish off a meal. I had the seasonal dessert, a raspberry cannoli shooter, while Mike went with the usual, carrot cake.
The service has always been excellent and while it's not the cheapest meal around, I think the quality of the food and service makes it a pretty good value. I love that the menu changes regularly, so there's always something new to try. I love that the portions are normal-sized. Since our first visit here, this has replaced Jasper's as my favorite restaurant.
