Seasons - Davis

Seasons has good food and an attentive staff. But if you value your hearing, stay away. The noise level is unbearable: when I ate dinner there recently I came away with a faint ringing in my ears. It is a shame that so few restaurants take seriously the adverse health effects of excessive noise. (I judged it to be about 80 decibels. So many, including Seasons, have concrete floors, walls, ceilings with nothing to absorb the sound, some adding music to this cacophony. Since so many people either suffer from tinnitus or are hearing impaired, one wonders why this trend has continued. Can it be that many restaurants don't care about their customers' health--much the less the fact that many people enjoy conversation?I hope Seasons will take steps to resolve this problem and ensure that the atmosphere is on the same high level as their food and their service.

Came here to celebrate a couple of birthdays. We were blown away by everything! The Lamb Muhammara, whole Woodfieed Branzino, and Goat Tagine are must haves! The vanilla gelato topped with olive oil and flaky salt in the Nick and Nora glass was a great way to end our meal.

The service was outstanding. The first course appetizer with hummus and lamp receives five plus stars. But the goat and burrata were both overly salty. My friend and I both love goat, but neither of us could get past the first bite. So we paid, tipped and left. My advice to the chief, slow down on the salt as your food is great enough without it.

Sadly, we're giving up on Seasons after many years of good dining there. The menu has become restricted to regional arcane, exotic foods, with zero attention paid to American tastes and preferences. Last time, the on-line menu listed cheeseburgers but when I asked server about the listing she practically shrieked at me saying they didn't even have the ingredients for such an item. At the very least, it would be more honest if your on-line menu jibed with your real menu which stretches from tofu to high-priced fish shipped in from who knows where.

As always, the staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. The food was very flavorful. I was looking forward to the Nicoise salad with the tofu steak, which I had had last time, but alas, it was no longer on the menu. But I ordered the Fattoush and added the tofu steak and it was delicious. While the wine menu for glasses only is a bit limited, we did enjoy the wine we ordered. Thank you!
