Review Summary

Reviews of Seasoned Dreams show mixed impressions: some diners praise a clean, inviting ambiance, friendly service, and a well received half chicken with half fries and half rice when the kitchen is on its game, while others describe a decline in quality and less thoughtful packaging, noting salads with goat cheese and mixed greens have become watery iceberg lettuce with bland toppings, and a dish that used to be flavorful now feels lacking; overall consistency across visits is a recurring concern.View restaurant profile
