[Seasons 142 - Restaurant Review
If you’re thinking you don’t get to experience the seasons in Southern California, think again. The newly opened Seasons 142 in Hillcrest brings the best of spring, summer, winter, and fall to San Diego, with a menu of “seasonal world cuisine” that changes four times a year. Springtime brings fresh, light treats such as Vietnamese lettuce wraps; summer means a delightful array of salads, and fall and winter feature comforting meals such as house-made butternut squash ravioli and sushi-inspired dynamite salmon. And the seasonal concept is not limited to the menu alone—every three months the artwork in the restaurant, the linens on the tables, and even the paint on the walls changes to reflect the current season. San Diegans may not have the pleasure of watching the leaves change colors or the first snow fall, but we can certainly celebrate change at Seasons 142.
