Seasons 52 is an American restaurant chain owned and internally developed by Darden Restaurants, Inc. in 2003. The brand concept is to deliver a sophisticated atmosphere, seasonal menu, and offer fresh ingredients to deliver a lower-calorie option when compared to its competition.[2][3] As of May 29, 2011, there are a total of 17 Seasons 52 locations in the United States throughout 13 different states.[2]

The restaurant is a seasonally inspired fresh grill and wine bar. The core menu changes four times a year with every season, and all the features on the right hand panel of the menu change every week, 52 times a year. George Miliotes, their master sommelier, specifically visits different vineyards in order to hand pick wines for Seasons 52. The menu showcases over 100 different bottles of wine, more than 50 of which are available by the glass.

They also proclaim there is no butter in the restaurant.

All items on the menu are said to be under 475 calories and nutritionally balanced.[4]
