Seasonal Grille

We've been living in the area for the last three years and have been meaning to check out Seasonal Grille! In short, we were underwhelmed and disappointed. I could be missing the mark here, but it seems that Seasonal Grille means to market themselves as the more upscale option in Hastings. The prices and meals reflect that. Not much of this place felt upscale at all. Again, maybe it's not supposed to be? It's hard to tell with the poor marketing and website. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful location and has a lot of potential! However, the decorating is all over the place with no clear theme. Basically all of the furniture is...tired. we sat in a booth, and my seat cushion was totally detached from the base. Additionally, the table top seemed to be loose as well. The restaurant felt, a bit dingy overall. The floors were dirty (although the hostess did start sweeping while we were there) and there were sections of the wall that were just falling apart. The owner of this joint really needs to invest in upkeep. I think it would help a lot. As for food, we began with the Spring Rolls. They were fine. However, they were ice cold in the middle, indicating they are just something they likely keep frozen and heat up when being served. They were nice and crispy on the outside though! Just not heated long enough. We ordered our entrees and got Caeser Salads with them that came out first. Again they were fine. They did have olives and tomato's which is not common for a true Caeser salad. Our entrees were the best part. We had the "The Grill" and the steak medallions, forgot the name. The cuts of meat and the temperature were perfect. I was not a huge fan of the sauce on the medallions though. But that's a personal thing. Too mustardy. The sides are lacking. We had roasted potato's and they were rather bland. I wish they offered a mashed potato. I think it would compliment the steaks better. And this is a personal pet peeve, but I hate nothing more than a plastic cup. The restaurant uses red cheap plastic Coke cups which is just so tacky. Give me a real glass PLEASE! The service, despite that being the largest complaint in the Google reviews, was fine! We liked our waitress and she paid enough attention to us. There was an obviously new young gal who seated us. She was probably in training to be a hostess. I'm not sure the restaurant business is for her. She silently walked us to our table, put down our utensils, made a weird embarrassed squeal and literally ran off without saying anything. That was...odd. she was also dressed in an oversized sweater and jeans. Again, if they are trying to be even somewhat upscale, there should be at least some kind of dress code. We will likely not return and I'm disappointed as I always expected this place to be sort of nice! I'm a bit embarrassed for the place and I hope it gets better!

Good food just took an hour to get a burger in an empty restaurant. No apology or explanation.
