I had a wonderful experience for dinner. The entire restaurant’s decor is stunning, perfect for date night. I recommend the charcuterie board, pesto pasta and lamb chops; they were delicious! The tiramisu martini night cap was yum! Our server Keilani and Seana, the bar manager were very kind and attentive to our service. Thank you ladies!

Went in for brunch a couple days ago on Easter. Service was good and restaurant had a nice feel to it, but that’s where it ended for the positives. Cappuccino D-, Brunch Food C-, Specialty Cocktails A-, Being charged $5 for ice tea and another $5 for a refill when the glass was tiny and 70% ice F- , Dessert C-. 18% auto gratuity added to the check D- . Had to ask for salt and pepper after the first course came out, then when the pancakes came out I had to request syrup. These are. basic items that should be on the table or come out with the food…. not a good visit for $180 brunch at all ?

I took a date to Lake Mary Social as it was recommended to me as a fine dining restaurant. The entry way is very small, dark, and it was hard to see inside. It has the feel of a place you shouldn't be. The hostess was very pleasant and helpful. We were seated right away. Our waitress was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and efficient. We enjoyed meeting her. We both had the pea soup which we agreed was exceptional. We both ordered the lamb chops. The flavor was concealed by the sauce that smothered the meat. The meat itself contained more than an average amount of gristle. The flavor of the meat was actually pretty good and the sauce was excellent but they just seemed to get in each other's way. The items that accompanied the lamb chops were excellent. The sound from the bar is excessive in the dining room. The bar and the dining room are very nice though a little dark. Overall, we were a little disappointed. We are apprehensive about another visit to the Lake Mary Social but it is in our neighborhood and we try to support our local businesses when we can.

All the food was great, I honestly didn’t expect it to taste a great as it did. Our appetizer was fried risotto balls, the salmon dish was cooked perfectly medium as I asked, and the lamb was just right with a medium cook as well. The accompanying sides were a perfect compliment to the meal. I had the banana pudding for dessert it was ok, I wouldn’t order it again, but it wasn’t bad, just not exciting. All the portions were great, I had leftovers. I failed to get a photo of the restroom, but the restaurant in general was very clean, quaint, nice decor, the cutest check presentation. Our waitress and waitress in training were both excellent. I would visit again (and I don’t usually go to the same restaurant twice).Kid-friendliness: Not really the ambiance for kids, more of an intimate setting for small group or date night.

Our recent corporate event at Lake Mary Social was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial planning stages to the execution on the day of the event, the team at Lake Mary Social went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. The venue itself provided the perfect atmosphere for networking and socializing, with its modern yet cozy ambiance. The staff were professional, accommodating, and attentive throughout the entire event, making sure all of our needs were met seamlessly. The food and drinks were top-notch, with a diverse menu that catered to all tastes. Lake Mary Social will quickly become our go-to venue for corporate events, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable experience. We can't wait to plan our next event here!

This is my second visit . It is a very nice place . Excellent service and excellent food . However , when they have the live music , it is way too loud . It was impossible to carry on a conversation at the table with the noise level . I was beginning to think I was at an ACDC concert . I won’t be back as long as they have the live music as loud as it was last night .

This was my second trip to LMS in the last 10 days. The facility is very nice. The food was good. The service was good. Unfortunately, it was all ruined by having live music that was ridiculously loud. It was so loud that we could not carry on a conversation at the table. We noticed people at a table close by having the same reaction that we did. We won't go back if it is going to be that loud.

Taco Tuesday.. steak tacos- corn tortillas were stale, steak was dry and very small amount. Even tho the margs were bogo they did not offer a second when we finished the first. Incorrectly charged us for table side quac when we did not order it. We ordered the Tres leches cake for desert.. also bone dry. Save your money totally not worth it.

Our experience at Lake Mary Social was extremely disappointing. This review is not a reflection of our server because she had nothing to do with the poor management and being able to provide what's on the menu. My advice to the manager & chef...if you're going to book a special event of 30+ people then close the restaurant to other guests. OR prepare to have more food to fulllf orders! We landed on a bad night! The seating was horrible, it was extremely loud, they were out of anything we wanted to order and getting any food they did still have took an hour. The manager never came over to say anything & our bill was outrageous for a dinky salad, filet & some drinks. Our server was extremely professional & kind throughout the evening. I felt bad for her so we just made the best of it. We made this reservation for a special occasion & it was a complete letdown. We would have tried it on a different night had we known there would be an event of 30 people consuming the place.
Bad Management, Bad Business Plan, Bathroom TablesWe had a reservation and as we walked through the half empty dining room they sat us infront of the bathrooms. With the impression that this was fine dining, we asked to be moved and they sat us at a table in the bar. They had to replace my chair as it had a spring protruding out of it.We kept peaking into the dining room and only saw 1 4-person table full while the rest was empty, but all the tables next to the bathrooms were full. Service, meal and dessert were all good, but for wine list consisted of Publix's finest.As we were wrapping up dessert, the DJ started and they shut off the speakers in the bar and bathroom tables with the DJ only playing to the 1 table of 4 older people in the dining room. DJ was good, but as we were sitting at the childrens table that was not allowed to frolic with the seniors, we noticed that all the people at the bar and the bathroom tables were the ones that would have appreciated the DJ, but the entertainment was getting wasted on an empty dining room.After we finished eating, we left and went somewhere else for another drink and music entertainment. It was a shame because we would have stayed and spent more money, but the business plan just didn't appreciate us or the bathroom gang as customers.Recommendation - read the room and your customers. You need the customers more than they need you as there are plenty of other options for us to enjoy.

Very disappointed. Food not hot and the brunch was very disappointing. You know the food is not hot when butter will not melt. I tried a few different dishes and the only thing that was half way decent was the omelet.

I really wanted to like this place and I loved some aspects of it and others were just meh. Ok, what I loved, the restaurant was set up as a speakeasy/1920s era jazz club. The decor was decadent and lush. Ambiance was sultry with moody vibes. But it was empty on a Saturday night! I think the rain caused the lack of patrons. My husband chose this restaurant because it was advertised as a place where live music was supposed to be played while we ate. They had a DJ on a Saturday night. He was delightful and asked us our favorite genre of music which he then played. We were sat at a two top table and I was given a purse stand. Very thoughtful gesture. The menu was adequate but limited. When the servers came to the table, they introduced themselves and very attentive to our needs. As we worked to the menu, the server announced items they were out of on the menu. From appetizers and sides, which I found odd. This was a Saturday night and the kitchen is out of items? My husband got the pea soup and Chateaubriand with polenta and pan fried veggies, they were out of the mashed potatoes. The pea soup was amazing! The steak, was just ok. I go the sea bass and asparagus risotto. It was good but I think the risotto could've been better if it was a mushroom risotto. For dessert I got a crème brûlée and it was just ok, I've had better. The server did bring over some Prosecco which was a nice touch. Since the table was rocky, when my husband got up to use the bathroom, he knocked them over and broke both glasses. We felt so bad and left an additional tip since gratuity was included in the bill. Overall, it was ok but not great. Staff was delightful, restaurant was nice, food was just ok.
So when my wife and I first arrived, we were greeted and sat in one of their private booths for our date night (Late Valentine's Day). Our server happened to be new, I believe her name was Hailea? I was skeptical at first as I've had some rough experiences with new servers. Man was I wrong! Hailea exceeded all expectations and went above and beyond with her service, menu recommendations and even made our date night special with champagne toast for the occasion. The food was exceptional, I ordered the 12oz rib roast and my wife ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. My steak was cooked perfectly and her sea bass was out of this world. It was paired with some sort of saffron sauce which in my opinion brought the dish together perfectly! 10/10 will return! The venue itself was gorgeous, reminded me of the speakeasy's in New York with a modern twist

NEVER NEVER AGAIN..Waited 45 minutes to be seated when we had reservations and when they finally sat us we were completely ignored for 30 minutes before we left.. no water, no bread no acknowledgment that we even existed.. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.. very poorly run and overpriced.. can’t comment on the food cause we never had a chance to order..
