Now Open: Seasons 52

Last night, I was really excited to check out Seasons 52 which just opened last week in King of Prussia. Seasons 52 is a fresh grill that has a seasonally inspired menu and award winning international wine bar. They prepare their meals using rustic cooking techniques such as grilling or roasting over open fires to enhance the flavor of each dish. Every week of the year, as different foods reach their seasonal peak of taste, Seasons 52 seeks out the best, market-fresh products such as vine-ripened heirloom tomatoes in summer, crisp apples in autumn, hearty root vegetables in winter and tender asparagus in spring. Each meal is nutritionally balanced to include the highest quality lean meats and seafood, good carbs and beneficial oils such as extra virgin olive oil.

Overall, I was very impressed with our dining experience. When we first arrived, we were greeted by complimentary valet parking which was a nice touch. The ambiance was beautiful, warm and inviting and the place was packed! We waited in the bar area for a short time before we were seated. Inside the bar area there was a live piano player that plays nightly. Once seated, we were taken back (in a good way) to see that the menu stated that ALL menu items were 475 calories or less! That was very extraordinary! Equally impressive was their tremendous international selection of 100 wines, including 60 offered by the glass!

Our waiter Tom was amazing! He knew everything we had asked him about the menu and when I asked him which Riesling wine was the sweetest, he pointed one out to me, but asked if I would prefer a Moscato (which is even sweeter). I happen to prefer Moscato over Riesling, but hadn't even noticed it on the wine list, and I was so impressed that he had suggested it instead. The Moscato was sweet and delicious.

My husband and I were with friends and we started with some Flatbreads that were out of this world! I could have just ate those all night! They have several different kinds to choose from. The menu had a little bit of everything, chicken, steak, pasta, fish and salads. We each ordered our own entree and thought the food was very good! I had a Char Crust Filet Mignon, which I really enjoyed.

Their desserts, called Mini Indulgences, were served in shot-size glasses making them the perfectly proportioned size! We had the Key Lime Pie and the Rocky Road which were so scrumptious!

Beyond the food itself, we were all taken back by the focus on customer service throughout the meal. The restaurant's General Manager, made his rounds to all of the tables in the restaurant, looking to ensure that everything about our meal was to our liking. Additionally, another manager in the restaurant also checked on us during our meal. At the end of our stay our waiter handed us his business card and said that anytime we come back to just ask for his section and there will be a table waiting for us. Now that is awesome customer service!! We will definitely be back again!

They do have a second floor for private events and there is a smaller room available on the first floor as well. Great to keep in mind when planning your next party!

West Ave Grille Too in Dresher Opens

The West Ave Grille Too in Dresher opened this week and I was very excited to check it out yesterday for lunch with friends! Everyone loved their dish! I had a delicious grilled chicken sandwich and my friends had an egg white veggie omelet and a turkey avocado wrap. We agreed the prices were reasonable and we would frequent the joint. The service was great and we didn't wait for a table when we got there close to noon. When we left an hour later, the place was packed! They don't take reservations but they will take call ahead seating starting in a few weeks. The restaurant serves Breakfast and Lunch all day and has more than a dozen Dinner entrees that are served after 5pm. I am really excited to have a breakfast spot in the neighborhood and another restaurant that does good take-out close by. They have a few flat screen tv's on the wall which will be great when you need to watch a game. They do have a kids menu and it looks great! Their hours are: Tuesday-Thursday & Sunday 8:00AM-8:30PM and Friday & Saturday 8:00AM-9:30PM. The address is: 1650 Limekiln Pike and is located in the Dreshertown Shopping Center where Carambola used to be. Their phone number is 215-367-5428.

The Cheesecake Factory FINALLY has a kids menu!

I am so excited to share the news that The Cheesecake Factory now has a children's menu for kids 10 and under after decades of not offering one for smaller diners. There are about 13 entree choices such as pastas, chicken strips, pizza, sliders, grilled chicken, mac and cheese and more that range from approximately $3.95 to $6.95. My kids loved the mini corn dogs the other night! Each entree comes with a choice of beverage as well. They also have desserts starting at $1.00 for a scoop of ice cream and $2.00 for strawberries with cream. My family frequents the location in Willow Grove and we always ordered the chicken fingers appetizer for the kids. We were thrilled to see they have their own children's menu now and with so many different choices all very reasonably priced!

Great Burger Now Open!

Great Burger located in the Upper Dublin Shopping Center is now open! It is next to DSW and their address is 3616 Welsh Road, Willow Grove (corner of Twining & Welsh Roads). Their phone number is 215-657-6100.

I just ate there today with a bunch of friends and we thought their hamburgers were quite small but they tasted okay. Someone had the chicken sandwich and thought it was good. The kids had hot dogs and seemed to enjoy them. I thought their fries were awesome!

Take a look at their menu. They offer free popcorn which the kids loved! I thought the prices were very reasonable but then again I thought the burger size could have been better!

It's worth checking out. Hours are Monday-Friday, 11:00 AM-8:00 PM and Sunday 12:00 PM-7:00 PM.
