Seison Restaurant & Lounge

A bouquet of fresh flowers greets customers as they enter the elegant wood and glass-paned doors at Seison Restaurant & Lounge, acting as the first indicator of the eatery’s fresh, local feel. A seasonal meal might begin with artichoke fritters and a fresh autumn panzanella dressed in olive oil and vinegar before the waitstaff skillfully delivers anything from cheeseburgers and fries to saffron-infused shrimp. Dessert makes its best attempt to trump the main course with warm rice pudding dotted with almonds and louisiana bread pudding drizzled with bourbon sauce. Meals can be followed by a romantic postdinner stroll or game of elevator tag through the eatery’s home—the historic Washington Inn Hotel.
