The food and service are outstanding. They are by far the best value in Sarasota....3 courses for less than $40 for great food is crazy good. We have always received great, attentive service whether we were outside on their patio or inside.

Always a reliable favorite, Seasons 52 University went out of their way to make my last minute birthday dinner memorable. Service was perfect! Food is always good - I had lobster bisque, with a side of lobster tail! I know, but it was my birthday. Had the shrimp and crab stuffed mushroom apps for the first time - highly recommend. Companion had shrimp and grits, but he's from Finland, what does he know about grits? He loved them!
