About Seasons 52 - Costa Mesa
The Spotlight on Seasons 52 - Costa Mesa

Fresh, Seasonal Dining Just Minutes from the Music

Modern and warm with a touch of upscale flair, Seasons 52 - Costa Mesa offers a fresh take on American cuisine in a stylish setting. Located in the bustling South Coast Plaza area, it's just a short drive from major Costa Mesa concert venues. The restaurant focuses on seasonal ingredients and a rotating menu of lighter entrées, all served in a polished, yet relaxed environment.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its proximity to key venues like the Segerstrom Center for the Arts makes it a go-to spot for pre-show dining. Guests appreciate the efficient service, which helps get you to your concert on time without feeling rushed. The menu offers a wide range of options—from flatbreads and salads to cedar plank-roasted salmon—all in a refined but low-noise atmosphere that still feels lively before a show. Bonus: they’re known for seasonal cocktails and an extensive wine list by the glass.

What People Say

Reviews on OpenTable and TripAdvisor consistently praise the fresh, flavorful dishes and attentive service. Diners love the rotating seasonal menu, especially the flatbreads and mini indulgence desserts. Many mention how it's an ideal spot to dine before a performance, thanks to its convenient location and well-paced meal timing. The ambiance is described as “elegant but not stuffy,” making it a top pick for pre-show dining.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the dining room can feel a bit busy during peak concert nights, so a reservation is highly recommended. A few reviews noted that while portions are appropriately sized for a lighter meal, those with bigger appetites might want to add a starter or dessert.

Donna B, Marina del Rey Sun, 29 July 2018

Very enjoyable. Waiter was excellent. We had a lovely table outside. The flatbread was a little lacking in short rib beef. Salad was excellent. Waiter suggested a very good wine, which we plan to buy for our home.

Liked: Waiter.
Disliked: Flatbread.
