    We went to Seasons 52 in Chestnut Hill to celebrate a family reunion (6 adults, four children). This has become an annual traditional for us to have our "fancy" dinner at Seasons 52 when we're all in town , and the food was fantastic. Our server was highly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. A few members of the group ordered the roasted rainbow trout and had asked for the fish to be cooked a little less than what what's typically done, and their dishes came just as requested. From the ambiance to the apps/entrees to the desserts, everything was fantastic! Thank you, Seasons 52... we'll be back again next year!

    Farmstead Table should be everyone's "go to" restaurant when you need a special yet unpretentious restaurant. The staff are friendly (but not seeking to be your new best friend) and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is low key, nicely decorated, and NO TV! The food is very creative and extremely delicious, and with offerings that you would not find elsewhere. Farmstead Table is a favorite for brunch or lunch. I have not yet enjoyed its dinner menu but have no doubt that it's equal to the task if not better.
