点评:My wife and I love Seasons 52 at Tysons Corner Center in McLean. Hence, I made a reservation for lunch today on her birthday. In making the reservation, I was careful to note that this was a SPECIAL OCCASION, my wife's birthday. This isn't our first rodeo, so we expected the staff to greet her and offer a glass of sparking wine and/or a free dessert. That's what happened at their sister restaurant, the Capital Grille, on my birthday in August. But not today. Nothing, no acknowledgment.
Rating the restaurant on my four criteria -- food quality, value, ambience, and service, for the first time ever, we were disappointed. The waitress was okay, but just barely. My wife's scallops (expensive) were good, not great. The restaurant was crowded and a noisy group occupied the booth next to ours. Value was questionable. One of the bright spots came when I asked for a taste of a cabernet. A guy, one of the managers I think, brought a glass. I told him I had asked for only a taste. He brought back a taste of Penfold's, but also a taste of a Caymus produced wine. I ended up ordering a glass of the Caymus product; not sure I'm happy with what I was charged, but the experience and the wine he suggested were good.
Two bottom lines: 1) we went away with negative feelings; and 2) we probably will think twice, maybe three times, before returning to Seasons 52, especially for a special occasion. We are disappointed.
翻译:我和我的妻子非常喜欢麦克莱恩泰森斯角中心的第 52 季节目。因此,我在她生日那天预订了今天的午餐。在预订时,我小心翼翼地注意到这是一个特殊的场合,我妻子的生日。这不是我们第一次牛仔竞技表演,所以我们希望工作人员会向她打招呼并提供一杯起泡酒和/或一份免费甜点。这就是我八月份生日那天在他们的姐妹餐厅 Capital Grille 发生的事情。但不是今天。什么都没有,没有承认。
根据我的四个标准——食品质量、价值、氛围和服务——对这家餐厅进行评分,我们第一次感到失望。女服务员还可以,但只是勉强。我妻子的扇贝(很贵)很好,但不是很好。餐厅里很拥挤,一群吵闹的人占据了我们旁边的摊位。价值值得怀疑。当我要求品尝赤霞珠葡萄酒时,亮点之一出现了。一个人,我想是经理之一,带来了一个玻璃杯。我告诉他我只是想尝尝。他带回了彭福尔德的味道,也带回了凯姆斯生产的葡萄酒的味道。我最后点了一杯 Caymus 产品;不确定我对所收取的费用是否满意,但他推荐的体验和葡萄酒都很好。
两条底线:1)我们带着负面情绪离开; 2)在返回第 52 季之前,尤其是在特殊场合,我们可能会三思而后行。我们很失望。
