This hamburger was delicious, but I don’t think it was almost-thirty-dollars delicious, even with the added cheese and grilled mushrooms. I did like the English muffin bun and juicy beef patty. The fries were also great!

I loved the variety of proteins at the Seasons brunch. Not everything was perfect, but I mostly liked the items. The short rib was dry for instance, but I really enjoyed the mac and cheese. The crust on the lamb chop was also nice and crispy and flavorful. The crab cake was forgettable.
