    We went for my wife’s birthday. We ordered 2 classic burgers medium rare. It was absolutely fantastic. The burgers were cooked to perfection and the brioche buns toasted just right. The price was fair and since I had not been there in 20 years I promise to go back a lot. It’s 1 mile from our place and it was that good.

    We frequently dine at Seasons 52, whether this be in Schaumburg or Oakbrook. We prefer Schaumburg because of Chef Gerber and many of the staff. With May 25 as our actual anniversary, we were surprised to be greeted with glasses of sparkling wine. We also were delighted with the amuse bouche created by Chef Gerber. His additional filet with chimichuro sauce was superb, as was the fresh halibut. Suffice it to say, Chef, the delicious fresh food and the kind service is what brings us back multiple times throughout the week. Thank you for delighting us always! Thank you Chef Gerber. You’re the best! 💙
