Updated February 2023! Compared to many other chain restaurants, Seasons 52 is a bit elevated. Their elegant menu speaks to fresh ingredients prepared in classic yet slightly creative ways. And many guests love their craft cocktails and hand-picked wine selection, which includes 52 options by the glass! It’s a fine dining experience without too much fuss, and just enough dairy-free options on the menu. They used to offer special diet menus, but now they have an all-in-one allergen and gluten-free guide, which is regularly updated.
Seasons 52 Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Custom, Vegan & Allergen Options
The staff at staff is trained to be very friendly toward food allergic and special diet guests. And since much of their menu focuses on steak, seafood, and seasonal produce, many items can be custom ordered for free-from needs. That said, these are dairy-free options (at last check) at Seasons 52 which can be ordered with ease. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.

I was first introduced to the Seasons 52 at their flagship location in Florida during spring break many moons ago. The first restaurant I look for when traveling is where is the closest Seasons 52. As they do not use butter when sautéing foods, it’s great. Though there are some items on the menu that have gluten, soy, dairy, etc., there are also so many allergy free items. Love love love this place. Every once in a while I comment on their FB page they need to put one here in Omaha. So until they do, we go to Kansas City for the weekend and always go the Seasons 52 to get my “fix”.
That’s great! Thank you so much for sharing this Debbie.
