I'm a visitor to binghamton and I was looking for good food. I went to what I thought was Social on state (that's what the door said). Apparently it is really The Kitchen Counter, a local food truck that has parked here for the winter (per the server). Either way, the food was delicious. I had the chicken pesto with a glass of reisling and the tiramisu cake. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The decor is modern. I'd come again if I lived in the area.

Closed by owner who is too busy with other ventures. No matter, food was mediocre and service glacial.

Absolutely worth the stop. This is the best date night restaurant we’ve found in the area by far; the food was excellent and fairly reasonably priced. Service on our visit was just ok, but I think she was pretty new at this and will get better.

Had a reservation for over a week. When we arrived the hostess said they had no WiFi so they didn't have any online reservations saved. She found us a table and informed us that we were lucky to get it. Food was way too salty. The owner talked to the couple next to us loudly while leaning on the wall looming over us as we ate. Staff was untrained. Auctioning off food at the table as they brought it. Not great.

Excellent place with friendly staff, nice variety of drinks, delicious food with tapas and larger plates, nice ambiance! Good dishes included Thai curry cauliflower, grilled octopus, tuna tartar tower, orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe!
We came here to celebrate 2 birthdays! Ambiance was excellent! Friendly waitstaff! Food was exceptional - all delish! Grilled octopus, Tuna tartar tower, Fried asparagus, Orecchiette with spicy sausage and broccoli rabe! Yum! They gave us 2 warm cookies with ice cream in top, with flasher candles. Great experience.

We always have a wonderful dinner here and last night was no exception. Service is spot on. We are never rushed, the food is brought to the table piping hot in a nice pace. Everything was super delicious and the presentation lovely. Its hard to imagine I"m dining like this in Binghamton and not in a fancy big city. We tried the fried ice cream. A dessert that was shared between the 4 of us and we still could not finish it. It was so delicious, everything about it, the chocolate fudge sauce, the cinnamon ice cream, and best yet, in was GF! I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion as any dinner out is special and they certainly make it seem like you are the only one they are preparing for!
Summary: All the food was excellent with a very pleasing presentation. Specifically: The sea bass was wonderful and the filet practically melted in our mouths. The wedge salad was fresh and crisp with dressings and toppings that were not overpowering. We also loved the asparagus fries and fried Buratta (a cheese). The "spicy" tuna tower was very tasty and not too spicy (I'm not big on "hot", so I enjoyed it) although there was one hot spot our granddaughter found (ooops). The cookie souffle was excellent. There were 6 of us and we shared everything having the sea bass and filet in the large plate size and small plates for everything else (like tapas). We would definitely do it again,

Smoked old-fashioned is always on point l, steak was delicious and the Brussel sprouts are fantastic. Only issue was the service didn't match the vibe of the place... or the price.

Again a fantastic dinner and dining experience. We both had Seared Ahi Tuna and the presentation was too beautiful to eat but we did! Tuna was done perfectly. Everything was incredibly delicious! Dining out on the deck was perfect as well. Jay and his staff never disappoints. Thank you!

I asked the love of my life to marry me here. They were wonderful and made our evening an absolute joy. ?
