Seasons 52 Summer Menu Review - Perimeter Location




Mom and I sampled the new Summer Menu at the Perimeter location of Seasons 52, the highly-acclaimed fresh grill and wine bar restaurant. Everything was wonderful – I have added Seasons 52 to my list of favorite restaurants. It is always excellent, and I love the ambience and healthy menu. We also learned from Enrique Iglesias himself, that Seasons 52 is partnering with Atlantico Rum and Enrique Iglesias for exquisite summer cocktails we tried - the Watermelon Refresher and Strawberry Lemon Euphoria. These were indeed very refreshing! 



The Summer Menu is headlined by the introduction of an 11-ounce Piedmontese All-Natural Bone-In Strip Steak – a lean, tender cut of beef which is becoming more popular in sophisticated eateries across the country.  Seasons 52’s new summer appetizers, entrees and signature Mini Indulgence will be available for lunch and dinner through mid-September. 

“We are extremely excited to introduce our guests to the Piedmontese All-Natural Bone-In Strip Steak on our summer menu. A unique offering for steak lovers to enjoy, Piedmontese beef is tender, flavorful and lean,” said Cliff Pleau, Senior Director of Culinary at Seasons 52. “Along with the Piedmontese beef, the summer menu features a variety of grilled vegetables, seafood and poultry that depict the essence of the season.”


In addition to the Piedmontese Bone-In Strip Steak, we tried the other delicious new summer menu items, including: 

Organic Tomatoes with Warm Crusted Mozzarellaorganic tomatoes and warm-crusted Mozzarella, micro greens, basil, pesto vinaigrette
Chilled Lobster & Shrimp Spring Rolls cool salsa verde, aromatic lemongrass, sweet-hot red chili
Grilled Jumbo Shrimp Cavatappi Pastacaramelized garlic, organic tomatoes, fresh broccoli 
Summer Vegetarian Tasting“grains of life,” soft taco, chili relleno, vegetables, cedar roasted tofu, mango chutney 
Berry Cheesecake Mini Indulgencecheesecake, fresh blueberries, raspberry sauce and graham cracker crumbs 

Also, Seasons 52’s Master Sommelier George Miliotes added a new wine to his “Drink These Before They Become Famous” list.  Jam Jar Moscato 2011 Western Cape-South Africa joins George’s handpicked selection of must-try wines for the season. “Jam Jar Moscato is a refreshing and approachable wine for summer,” said Miliotes. “With flavors of peach, apricot, lychees and orange blossom, it is a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity.”
