Seasons 52 Coming Soon

A new option for healthy dining out is coming to Cincinnati. Seasons 52 is a relatively small chain, owned by the company that owns Red Lobster, and they're opening a new location in Cincinnati next month. It's in the new section of Rookwood (Hyde Park).

I've eaten at this chain in both the Atlanta and Chicago areas, and am really very happy that one is coming to my town.
Here's how they bill the chain (from their website):

Seasons 52 is a fresh grill and wine bar that invites guests to discover the sensational flavors of a seasonally-inspired menu and award-winning international wine list in a casually-sophisticated ambiance.

At Seasons 52, we pride ourselves on offering our guests:

• Seasonally-inspired dining choices expertly designed to excite and surprise the palate
• An award-winning international wine list featuring diverse wine selections that personalize the dining experience
• Knowledgeable, approachable service that inspires confidence
• A casually-sophisticated adult ambiance that feels inviting

What did I like about it so very much? The design of the bar and restaurant is quite appealing, but the best thing about Seasons 52 is that the food is HEALTHY and GOOD.
Here's what they say about their menu:

"The Seasons 52 menu is seasonally inspired with the fresh appeal of the farmer's market. . . .  We feature dining choices that are thoughtfully prepared in appropriate portion sizes. So our guests can feel the freedom to indulge in a complete dining experience, including our custom flatbreads and signature mini-indulgence desserts, while still feeling good about themselves and their dining choices. . . . We make a promise that nothing on our menu is over 475 calories. The result is great-tasting, satisfying food that just happens to be good for you."

The Rookwood location should be up and running by the middle of February. See you there, local folks!
