Seasons 52 / Phoenix – https://www.seasons52.com/ By Chrystal Allen-O’Jon Seasons 52 restaurants’ website labels their dishes as “comfort food” and I can attest to this very fact. From the ambiance to the service and food comfort is what I felt. My husband and I received an Anniversary/Birthday gift from our son (in Houston, TX) – which, by the way, we will send a as e-gifts in the near future to friends and family. Our Menu Choices: FILET MIGNON* AND MAINE LOBSTER TAIL: The taste and quality was to “die for”. https://www.seasons52.com/menu/filet-mignon-and-maine-lobster-tail/prod5960008 BLACKENED MAHI MAHI TACOS https://www.seasons52.com/menu/blackened-mahi-mahi-tacos/prod860674 Food Flavor & Texture – $$$$ Food Quality & Healthiness – $$$$ Value – $$$$ Service & Setting – $$$$ Did I mention their desserts? OMG!!!!! La locanda Ristorante Italiano – www.lalocandaaz.com By Chrystal Allen-O’Jon This was the best birthday meal in a long time. I am still tasting the penne’ sauce in my sleep. Rafael, our server was attentive, friendly and made the experience exceptional. Would I ever return? Heck yeah! I recommend you trying this place at least one time, if you ever happen to be in the downtown Scottsdale area. You won’t regret it.
