ORLAND PARK, IL — Fresh grill and wine bar Seasons 52 is set for its debut in Orland Park on Monday, Nov. 4. The restaurant, opening at 15610 South La Grange Rd., touts a menu focused on fresh ingredients and high quality produce.

Seasons 52 is known for its seasonally inspired dining 52 weeks a year, specializing in oak-fire grilling and brick-oven roasting cooking techniques with all dishes fewer than 595 calories, the restaurant said in a release. The menu changes with each season, using the best, in-season produce.

The restaurant is helmed by managing partner Sherard Holland, who originally started with Seasons 52 as a server 11 years ago and has earned his Level 2 Sommelier Certification. Holland is currently a manager at Seasons 52 in Oak Brook.

"I am elated about the opportunity to introduce the community to a fresh, seasonally inspired restaurant that provides guests with an exceptional dining experience through elevated service and hospitality," Holland said.

Menu items are handcrafted using 100 percent fresh, never frozen, whole produce and thoughtfully sourced meats and seafood, the restaurant said.

"These dishes encourage guests to feel good about their choices at every course without having to sacrifice flavor, with options including an assortment of flatbreads, such as pesto chicken and fresh mozzarella, as well as freshly prepared entrées, like cedar plank-roasted salmon, caramelized grilled sea scallops and wood-grilled filet Mignon," the release reads. Eight Mini Indulgence desserts offer the perfect amount to satisfy a sweet tooth, with selections including Belgian chocolate S’mores and raspberry chocolate chip cannoli.

At opening, Seasons 52 will feature its Autumn Menu, with limited-time offerings such as Alaska “Butter Fish”, butternut squash soup, roasted mushroom flatbread, golden beet salad, and a pumpkin pie mini indulgence.
