Seasons 52 to open next year

Seasons 52, a fresh grill and wine bar, announced plans last month to open its first Alabama store on the former site of Sweet Bones in The Summit in Spring 2013. The restaurant, according to a release, will bring approximately 100 jobs to the area.

“We are excited to bring Seasons 52 to Birmingham. This is an ideal setting for our guests – people who celebrate living well while enjoying upscale dining, shopping and entertainment,” said Stephen Judge, president of Seasons 52, in a prepared statement.

Menus at Seasons 52 change four times a year to capture the flavors of each season. Nothing on the menu is more than 475 calories, and the wine list features more than 100 wines. Seasons 52 offers notable menu selections such as Steak and Cremini Mushroom Flatbread, Cedar Plank Salmon, Caramelized Sea Scallops and Maui Tuna Crunch Salad.

The Summit location will feature a warm ambiance, a custom-built wine cellar, a large outdoor patio and piano bar featuring live music nightly. Additionally, the restaurant will offer three private dining rooms and an exclusive chef’s table.

“The addition of Seasons 52 will provide shoppers with a unique, new dining experience that fits in perfectly with the exciting retail environment here at The Summit,” said Jeffrey Bayer, CEO of Bayer Properties. “Birmingham is a great place to live and work and I believe that Seasons 52 promotes the same positive lifestyle benefits that are valued in the region.”
