A Fresh and Seasonal Dinner at Seasons 52 in Columbia

Lately I’ve been trying to be more mindful about healthy eating. That means cooking more meals at home and paying closer attention to the ingredients I’m eating.

But let’s be honest — that doesn’t mean I want to stay home cooking every single night. There’s still something special about enjoying a great meal out with friends.

That’s exactly where Seasons 52 in Columbia comes in. The restaurant focuses on seasonal ingredients and lighter preparations, and their Harvest Menu offers a three-course tasting experience for $29.95 that highlights the flavors of fall.

One evening after work, a friend and I headed over to try it for ourselves.

My friend started with the Spinach and Caramelized Bosc Pear Salad.

With toasted walnuts, gorgonzola, and a sherry-walnut vinaigrette, the salad was light, fresh, and full of flavor. It was a great way to begin the meal.

Since it was a chilly evening, I started with the Butternut Squash Soup.

The soup was rich and creamy, with perfectly crispy mushrooms on top that added a nice contrast in texture.

Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon

For her entrée, my friend ordered the Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon.

The preparation was simple, which allowed the quality of the fish to really shine. The dill-mustard sauce added just the right amount of brightness.

Mediterranean-Style Lamb Shank

Taking our server’s recommendation, I ordered the Mediterranean-Style Lamb Shank.

The lamb was slow-roasted until it was fall-off-the-bone tender, making it one of the standout dishes of the night.

Mini-Indulgence Desserts

One of the unique touches at Seasons 52 is their dessert concept called Mini-Indulgences.”

Each dessert is served in a small glass — essentially shot-glass-sized versions of classic desserts. It’s the perfect way to enjoy something sweet without feeling overly full.

After being presented with a tray of options, we decided to share the S’mores Treat and the Mocha Treat. Both were delicious and the perfect ending to the meal.
