First time eating here and the food and presentation was perfect! Veggie burger with the seasoned fries was delicious! Flatbread pizza with figs was also enjoyed. Great live entertainment tonight, Nephrok. Great crowd of people. Service was busy but attentive as needed. Ambiance is perfect. So great to have this venue close to home!

First time here. Didn’t have any food but all the dishes being served looked delicious. The burgers looked fantastic. Bartender was very nice and attentive. Get rid of the stools please and more chairs with backs. The live entertainment was perfect last night! I think it was the owner who was working the room last night, serving drinks, meals etc, he was very much in top of things!!

I am a burger person. The French Onion burger sounded delicious, however, the sautéed onions were too much for me. The fries are delicious ! I would love to remove the herb applied to the fries. The adult Mac and Cheese was my least favorite. I have ordered the Bishop burger again, Nd multiple times before this, and asked for regular mayonnaise (not the bacon aioli) and asked to have the herb seasoning removed from the fries tonight. I am sure it will be great.

Service was great. Our waitress was very attentive. This was probably because the restaurant was empty at 7 on a Saturday night. Everything else was ok, nothing really stood out. The tuna was average, green beans as a side dish were not edible - hard yet burnt flavor. Steak tips were ok, not a huge portion. Many things on menu not available. Nothing special, I would not recommend.

We had an early Saturday dinner before an event so it was pretty quiet in the restaurant, but we were impressed by how helpful and friendly the staff were. Very good pub food and exactly what we were expecting.

This was my second visit to Social and this time I came with the family. Social has consistently great food and drink with a nice atmosphere and friendly service. My only complaint, which is minor, is that the music seemed slightly loud for how early in the evening and lightly attended it was, but it wasn't a big deal. I had the yellowfin tuna for the second time, it was tremendous. We'll definitely come back again.

Turkey dinner here with family made 2023 Thanksgiving a memorable occasion. The meal was full of flavor and had more than expected when it came to sides. Appetizer, main course, and dessert was filling and worth every penny.

We went for Thanksgiving with five people and we were thankful they were open. Sadly there was only one waiter but she did her best and gave us information on the movie we decided to see later.The food was decent overall, although the bisque needed a little seasoning. I did love love love the brussel sprouts , I probably could have eaten a whole plate of it.I wish we could have removed some of the other sides that came with the turkey dinner. The cranberry did not add to the dish so it was a bit disappointing sitting on top.It was very quiet for the holiday , we only saw a few people eating. The dining room was on the colder side and most tvs had the football game, I wish more tvs had the dog show though. I'm not a football fan.

Great vibe, relaxing. The music was on FIRE as it was old school ozzy, rush, and others. It was not overpowering but definitely memorable and enjoyable.Service was spectacular and attentive. Try to get a booth or the comfy benches. You sink and melt into it.

What a phony place! Half of what is on the menu was sold out, and a waitress who would serve you an espresso without underplate or milk or sugar...Don't go there!

Service was efficient. Drinks came quickly. Wait staff made recommendations that made sense. Food was good. Mushroom ricotta was delicious. Adult Mac and Cheese was delicious. Scallops were ok. Front of the house is a bar. Back is a restaurant with linens. Restaurant also serves the adjacent hotel.

We were 5 MSW moms out celebrating our near end of the program, and we had a blast. The hostess was a doll, and the bartender, waitress, and owner (who introduced himself) were beyond compare. Additionally, the food was top notch and the live music made for an upbeat experience.
