    This is becoming my favorite restaurant. The food is always delicious and the customer service is equally as great. Both the Chef Manager, Donald, and Head Chef Chad, have treated me so well. They make sure the food comes out prompt, hot, and cooked to perfection. Chad has even cooked me the halibut special and brought it out to me himself which I truly appreciated. They come by and check on me as I am eating my meal. I want it to be recognized how important this is to keep customers coming back and thoroughly enjoying their experience. I am picky as ever when it comes to food and customer service and they always hit the nail on the head! I also want to recognize the exceptional service by both Amanda and Matthew. They are friendly and check back multiple times to make sure all is going well. My water glass is never empty either. Thank you!!

    It was my first time going to Seasons 52 and I was pleasantly surprised by the ambience and service. I thought it would be a seafood place but it's a farm to table restaurant, which my wife loves. The prices are a little high but not terrible. The menu is small and you order your entree and sides separately. The food was good but not memorable. It's better than most food chains

    I'm not going to lie- we were frustrated from a not so great experience nearby, but Karina, the bartender, absolutely made our evening. She was amazing. After we spent a few minutes venting, we ordered a martini and a Caymus flight- the Cabernet has always been one of my favorites- and I equally enjoyed the other selections. We enjoyed everything about the charcuterie board- it was excellent. For entrees, the lamb loin was recommended. Chef prepared the lamb perfectly, broccolini and mashed potatoes were very good. The trout was seasoned to perfection and the brussel sprouts were good although cooked a pinch too long, the broccoli rabe balanced it all out. The ambiance was great, prices were reasonable, the menu has some great options, and the wine list is extensive. If you find yourself in the area- grab a bite at the bar.

    Sea Bass was excellent
    Alex D.

    Seasons 52 is an excellent effort at bringing together a versatile, and functional menu, which focuses on healthy options, while exploring unique taste profiles. Tuna tartar was excellent with just a hint of wasabi, Sea Bass was delightful and not overdone, gnocchi was flavorful, filling, done right. Wine list was on point, expertly curated with versatile options for different tastes and budget. Beer selection was unfortunately lacking. It's 2025, lets get some crafts in here.. laguinitas and stone don't exactly represent the entire world of IPA. This seems like an easy fix, if only someone would consider it. Ambiance is stellar.

    Personal fav and vegetarian - rich broth, crispy/chewy gnocchi, mushrooms/tomatoes sautéed to perfection

    Went to dinner for my daughter's birthday and Kristen did a great job making the day special - so much so that we took our niece for a start of the semester lunch 2 weeks later (Omar was our top notch server this weekend). Meals worth repeating included the gnocchi, sweet potato skillet, kid's flat bread and filet (adult menu first time, kid's menu the second time). We ordered the mushroom flatbread which was flavorful, but would have liked thinly sliced sautéed mushrooms over thicker quartered ones. Charcuterie board was very reasonably priced and well thought out with cheddar and goat cheeses, thinly sliced meats, grainy mustard, fig jam and flatbread crisps - delicious (note for egg/nut allergy people - something on this board set my daughter off). Additionally, we ordered skillet Mac and cheese which was just OK and not a ton of flavor. Cheeseburger was a huge hit - other daughter asked my husband for a bite and ate about half! Shot glass desserts should be a thing at every restaurant - perfect size after a filling dinner - my go to here is raspberry cannoli and love it! We also ordered turtle cheesecake, pecan pie and an egg/ nut free oatmeal cream cookie and all are consistent winners. Wonderful that my allergic daughter can also get something here. Overall the service is a 6 out of 5 as a previous reviewer shared, the ambience is fancy without being stuffy and the food is consistently good. Only suggestions to make it more perfect - and then that could get dangerous for my wallet! - maybe 1 or 2 more vegetarian entrees and a curated craft beer menu. On a previous menu they also had buffalo cauliflower flatbread and that is still very memorable to this day.

    Some of the best dining I've had in a while , and it left a lasting impression both times I visited. On each occasion, the experience was noteworthy and I would gladly return if I'm back in the area. Alex took fantastic care of us , bringing a friendly attitude and deep knowledge of the menu, including preparation details that made choosing even more enjoyable. Whether you sit in the main dining room or at the bar , the atmosphere is equally pleasant and well balanced. The flatbread was a great start , the sea scallops were beautifully done , and the pork chop absolutely stole the show. It was phenomenal, somehow tasting like a buttery steak while still being a pork chop . The menu changes regularly , so I hope you get a chance to experience those dishes if they're available. Dessert leans heavily into chocolate , which is great for chocolate lovers, though there are a few solid options for everyone else too. They also accommodate large groups ‍‍‍, though we've dined as a party of two to four and felt well taken care of each time. Overall, a standout experience with great food, thoughtful service, and an atmosphere that keeps you wanting to come back .

    Seasons 52 has THE BEST FILET I've ever had and I've had a lot of filets at steakhouses. It was so tender and flavorful. I savored every bite! The asparagus and mashed potatoes with mushrooms made it even better if that's even possible. Oh, and I added grilled scallops, again so tender, to my meal making it surf and turf that I challenge anyone to match it! The steakhouse feel is all around from the dark mahogany wood to the genuine leather seating and dimmed lighting. To top it off, the service was impeccable! Seasons 52 IS my new FAVORITE Steakhouse!

    As usual, Seasons 52 meets all your expectations, Manager, Chad Vetter who knows how to run a restaurant along with his head chef Joe.. and waiters like Manny you can't miss.. we go there a lot. It's a great place tonight. I had the Kono Encrusted lamb always over the top and my wife had scallops and risotto. Excellent appetizer, stuffed mushrooms always the best. From the front door to the table and back again, always the best .

    Came here after work for a drink and apps. I enjoyed the apps and will come back for a proper dinner. Service is great too!

    We've been to other Seasons 52 restaurants in California, but this was the first one we've tried in New Jersey. It's conveniently located on the US1 southbound lanes, north of Quaker Bridge Mall. I rather like the "old club" feel of the restaurant and bar. For lunch, we ordered from the Lunch Menu: Lump Crab Cake Sandwich (3/5) -- Nondescript crab cake of mostly bread(crumbs) on a toasted brioche bun. $18 Maui Tuna Crunch (4/5) -- Nice entrée salad. $22 I also enjoyed a New Old Fashioned (5/5 $15) Service was very good. Being in a mini-mall, there's plenty of parking.

    Pesto flatbread- good!

    Ask the Community - Seasons 52

    Do they have outside seatings/dining?

    Yes. There are tables in the back - umbrella tables. It's a small patio of about 5-6 tables.

    Is Seasons 52 serving Thanksgiving dinner?

    YES, website could have answered this for you....

    Is their price fix three course meal tasty and well prepared? How is filet mignon and short rib?

    I had the potato leek soup, filet mignon & key lime dessert. It was worth the price, since filet by itself usually costs that much... but notttt the best meal I've ever had!

    Do you have to sit in the bar to order happy hour food and drinks?

    I think so.

We both started with their Pear Paloma-tequila, pear, cardamom, lime, grapefruit soda. It was refreshing and good. It was the perfect drink to try. We were looking to get a quick bite just to tie us over. This place came recommended by a close friend. We ordered a few appetizers. Spicy Tuna Roll- tuna, spicy mayo, masago, scallion, sambal, eel sauce, sesame seeds add avocado + $1, add pickled mango + $1 I chose the mango for a twist. It was fresh and delicious. We also ordered a California Roll- kani, cucumber, avocado, nori, sushi rice, sesame seeds. You can add pickled mango + $1 or avocado for + $1. We added the mango for a twist. It was very good. Next time I come I want to try their Buttermilk Fried Chicken Bao Buns-sriracha slaw, house made pickled cucumber, micro cilantro, asian glaze. It looked so good. There was a couple sharing our high top and they ordered several orders of these and they told us it's a must try. I would've ordered more food, but we were going to another place and I didn't want to fill up. The staff is very nice here all very friendly and welcoming. There's no children's menu. This place is a bit small so I don't recommend it for young children and it would be difficult for handicapped unless you're able to get a table outside. We will definitely be back.

Let's be honest--I come here for one reason: the soufflés. They are my kryptonite. Sweet or savory, they never disappoint. I've had the chocolate (rich, decadent, flawless), though I'm still chasing my ultimate favorite--the elusive Grand Marnier soufflé. One day... Beyond that: * Mussels + champagne = always a win * Service is warm and welcoming * Prices feel fair for the quality and experience This place has become part of my ritual when I'm in the area. I'll fly into Newark Liberty International Airport, hop on the Amtrak Acela, get off in Princeton, head straight here, and yes--plan my trip around a soufflé. No regrets. The location is perfect--right in the heart of Princeton, which is one of those charming, walkable towns with tree-lined streets and that classic, almost European feel. There's garage parking nearby, but honestly, once you're there, you won't need your car. Perfect for: * Date night * Dessert and champagne with friends * Solo bar seating (highly recommend) Bottom line: Elegant, cozy, and worth going out of your way for--especially if you love a proper soufflé.

My mom's salmon seemed to be cooked well, we asked for medium and that's what she got. The tiramisu was good, and I am not generally a fan. The mocktail that ordered-basil gimlet was a nice balance of sweet and sour. Overall, really giving it a 3.5 but based upon comparison to my other 4 star ratings, I had to bring it down a bit. An overall nice experience, but since the food is the star... I'm not sure if I will return.

The wine list offers a solid selection of both red and white wines, available by the glass or bottle, and they also serve wine flights--three 2.5 oz pours, if I remember correctly. The cons: The menu isn't posted online (see my photos for sample menus), so you'll need to be comfortable going in without previewing your options. It's also not marked for gluten-free items, so plan on asking your server for guidance. Most of the wines feature grapes sourced from California, with a few selections from South Africa and at least one Malbec from Chile. Aside from some Oakville Cab Sauvs, I'm not a big fan of California wines--so if you are, you'll likely feel right at home here.

Our order included the following: * Deep Fried Brie served with caramelized onions: $15.95 * (2) Soupe à l'oignon Gratinée - traditional onion soup: $14.95 * Jambe D'agneau Braisée - new zealand lamb shank braised in port wine reduction served over israeli couscous, carrots, mushrooms and onions: $36.95 * Steak au Poivre/au Poivre Vert - two 4 ounce medallions of filet mignon with black peppercorn rub: $39.95 * Pommes Frites (hand cut french fries) $8 This place has the casual look and feel of a Paris bistro, and I really like the vibe. You can sit at tables or the large bar, we chose the former. The service was very good, accommodating and friendly. The food was nicely executed. My lamb shank was tender and tasty. I sampled the steak and thought it was nicely cooked, loaded with flavor and also very tender. The brie was tasty, and didn't seem to heavy, which was surprising as it was deep fried. If I lived in the area, I'd be a regular here.

    Went for lunch on a weekday. I haven't been to a French restaurant in a long time in part because…read moreso many have closed which seems strange to me . I take it,it's a matter of fashion. Any way I had an escargot appetizer. I love snails. I wish they had frogs legs! I had the lamb shank for the main course. My wife had the bouef Bourgogne pot pie (apologies for misspellings ; auto correct is fighting me on this one). The food was excellent. The service was good.They make good cocktails and I a sazerac , something I last had in New Orleans, a long time ago. The ambiance is pleasant and parking is easy.The prices, about what you'd expect. We had dessert and coffee. Oh the bread is very good. Highly recommended!
