We had a party of 7, and the service was attentive, and the food delicious. 6 people had steaks, and 1 had the vegetarian option (portobello mushroom). The mushroom portions were a bit small compared to the steak, but that is the only area for improvement to mention. The steak, frites, salad, bread and wine were exceptional. We will definitely go back, to include for large party dinners. Thank you Medium Rare Bethesda!

I love dinner at Seasons 52. The food is delicious, the service is great and the price is fair. Importantly, I can eat a lovely meal that has a reasonably low calorie count!! I wish there were a few dessert option that were low calorie too. Why would I eat a 500 calorie entree - and then have a 500 calorie dessert?

The branzino was excellent. I really like the unusual sides of falafel and cucumber salad. My order was taken promptly, but I had to wait a long time to get my check, perhaps because I was a solo diner.
