Seasons 52 - A Little Bit About a Lot of Things A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

June 11, 2015 Seasons 52

Seasons 52 is a chain restaurant that came to Chestnut Hill after opening its first Massachusetts location in Burlington. They focus on fresh ingredients that are seasonally inspired and every item is 475 calories or less. There is a bar/lounge area in the front with booths surrounding the large bar in the center of the room, and a main dining room at the rear of the restaurant. We sat in the lounge and to our surprise, there was live music – a gal with a great voice who played the piano.

We start with the warm roasted tomato caprese salad ($9.25). Tomatoes are healthier when you roast them, so we were excited about this option. It came with fresh mozzarella, basil pesto and bruschetta. I loved the presentation and the rosemary was a nice addition. The flavors were bold and the “salad” was excellent – I love the new take on a caprese.

For my entree I had the shrimp cavatapi ($18.95), broccolini, roasted roma tomatoes, mushrooms, fire roasted peppers in an herb tomato broth. The sauce didn’t taste a whole lot like tomato – it had a warm cajun spice that felt a little out of place with the rest of the dish.

They offer mini desserts (and the price is right) and with these single serve options, it feels ok to get more than one (don’t worry we shared!) L-R: Toasted almond amaretto ($2.95), Key Lime Pie ($2.95), S’mores ($2.95). Super cute presentation, especially on the amaretto dessert! All we delicious, ending the meal with just the right amount of sweetness.
