I just started frequenting in March 2012. I am now a regular there because of their GREAT food (my favs are the Calzones, Cold Antipasti and Andrea Boccelli personal pizza.). My hubby is PICKY about his pizza, he griped over any pie we had ever gotten from other local places. Season's? He RAVED. I nearly had a heart attack.
As far as the owners, great people who actually have a presence in the restaurant/bar and get to know their customers on a personal level and listen to their thoughts and suggestions. This is really refreshing in the Howell area considering most of the restaurants are either franchises or pizzerias and not true sit down dining without that "take out" type feel.
As far as the bar, I asked/suggested a specific beverage be sold there, a few days later, there it was! Great food, great service, you can't ask for more! Being a business woman myself, I know the most important part of your success is listening to your clientele and following through. Season's does just that. I HIGHLY recommend them to EVERYONE I know/meet.

Being from Brooklyn NY believe me when I tell you I know what a good slice of pizza tastes like. We have lived here more then 10 years and Season's Coal Fire Bistro has the best brick oven pizza I have ever tasted in NJ. My family and I were very happy to finally find a place that knows what they are doing. I have no doubt that this restaurant will be here to stay. A million thumbs up for the food. Congratulations to a wonderful restaurant and God bless always.

We enjoyed the very well done food, but the atmosphere at Seasons the old Fritzy’s Restaurant site is pandemonium. The new owners went to lengths redecorating and adding a full service bar. While admittedly given I am more of a double martini than a double stroller type, generally the atmosphere is organized chaos. After a half hour wait, my companions and I took the “next available” table at the bar under the mistaken notion that it would be child free. Approximately eight television sets blared, attempting to play sports bar to a boisterous family crowd. Servers had to almost yell to be heard & squeeze through the overly occupied spaces. The main dining room was over-filled to capacity with a soloist entertainer largely inaudible over the din. We skipped appetizers due to the crowd situation and after the table had a round of wine, I had a green salad w/ blue cheese, eggplant parm w/ ricotta and pasta just a tad overcooked, but nonetheless all very tasty. My companions had a personal pan pizza w/ arugula from the newly installed stone grill – quite good and ochea pasta with sausage which I did not taste but was told was excellent. Obviously what made for the crowd is the very good food. This is not first date material as for atmosphere. In my own instance, they are too far to consider takeaway but it is a suggestion if one likes a little calm and conversation with a meal. The food is a winner, the atmosphere bedlam. I will give it another go perhaps on a weeknight

The food at Season's is great. We especially lovethe meatballs which is served with the creakiest ricotta. Delicious!, we have tried something new every time we have gone and each time it is better than the last. The staff is very pleasant and attentive!
