After starting a diet (yet again) I became desperate to find somewhere to dine where I could relax, enjoy, but not put on weight! I had heard about Seasons 52, but although it seemed to get a lot of good reviews, I wasn't interested. You see, every dish they serve is kept under 475 calories. How could that be good? Well it can! In fact, it was delicious, satisfying and healthy at the same time. Here's a link to the Seasons 52 main menu.

They use natural cooking techniques including wood-fire grilling, brick-oven cooking and caramelizing vegetables to let the natural flavors come out. We really found that they knew what they were doing! Our meals were cooked perfectly and the flavors were wonderful.

In addition to the calorie and health conscious main menu, they have several menus geared towards serving those with special needs which you can see here:

When we entered the restaurant we were pleasantly surprised by the pleasant and elegant atmosphere. We arrived early so we had our choice of several rooms with booth seating or table seating. Even that early the booths overlooking the small lake were taken, but we chose a nice spot in a well lit room with picture windows. Later in the evening a live pianist was added into the mix, making the atmosphere all the more special.

Service was good. Our waiter was attentive and explained everything. I chose from the gluten free menu. I ordered a spinach salad appetizer, and although the filet mignon wasn't on the menu, they made it for me. They left off the spices which they said contained gluten. It was served with red bliss potatoes, whole roasted sweet baby carrots, asparagus and mushrooms. The spinach salad was excellent, crisp and flavorful served with a gluten free vinaigrette. The dish was beautifully presented. We both found the filet mignon to be fantastic. It was as delicious and perfectly prepared as the filet mignon we've had in any other fine dining restaurant. It had a wonderful flame grilled flavor, and it was very tender. The veggies were simple, but very tasty and cooked just right.

My companion had the cedar plank Atlantic salmon with mashed potatoes, whole roasted sweet baby carrots and asparagus. The salmon was delicious and nicely cooked. The mashed potatoes were subtly flavored but satisfying, and the veggies were also nicely prepared.

For dessert they came over with a tray of "mini indulgences". Each small shot glass sized cup was filled with a small portion of a tempting dessert. My companion chose Belgian chocolate rocky road, and I had the only gluten free dessert which was fresh fruit. These indulgences are quite brilliant. You can eat something that would normally be off limits on a diet, and still leave feeling like you did well! They were nicely prepared and pleasantly flavored. We followed this with two savory decaf cappuccino's that were delicious.

The restaurant is accessible, there's outdoor dining and Florida restaurants do not permit smoking inside.

We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who's health conscious. It's a great way to feel like you're indulging, and to enjoy an evening out without having to blow your diet!

P.S. I'd like to add that on another visit my gluten free meal was delivered with gluten products in and on it. I sent it back and after a couple times it came back right. If you have special dietary needs, I would recommend that you double check when your meal is delivered to be certain your food is prepared as you requested.
