Season’s 52 Autumn Menu

Last night my girlfriend, Sari, and I decided to experience the new Autumn Menu at Season’s 52 in Ft. Lauderdale. If you are not familiar with Season’s 52 it is a self described “casually sophisticated grill and wine bar…” Their food menu changes seasonally, which helps to keep you from ordering the same old thing. Season’s 52 is always packed, reservations must be made a few days in advance, and walk-ups are welcome – just be prepared to wait for about an hour. On this outing we started out with our usual Parmesan Crispbread and perused the menu. The menu has some new delicacies including quail, cedar plank roasted salmon, and the like. I decided on the Pan-Seared Snapper, one of my favorites from the last season it was available, while Sari ordered the Sesame Crusted Tuna. Our waitress, Natalie, suggested the Mulderbosch “Faithful Hound” Bordeaux for my snapper (I will be reviewing this wine in a later post) and a Sokol Blosser “Evolution” Riesling for Sari’s dish. This Riesling has a good flavor and a crisp finish without a lot of sweetness. To finish out the evening they offer “mini indulgences,” low calorie deserts served in square shot glasses. Sari had the rocky road, while I had the tiramisu, both delicious. If you’re ever in Atlanta, or Central or Southeast Florida and want a sophisticated, yet casual dining experience go to Seasons 52. If have the chance make a reservation, if not it’s worth the wait. Lunch is a little less crowded, and just as enjoyable.
