   Nice spot for a drink and a decent meal. Wings were tasty and so was the burger.

   We went out for brunch and sat at a table for two. We ordered drinks - a mimosa flight, and I got the coquito flight. It was so good!!! We had the deviled eggs with bacon to share, and my friend got the red velvet waffle while I had the Cannoli French Toast. The food was delicious. They started with Christmas music, and then it changed to R&B. It was a great vibe. We were able to have a great conversation, and we weren't rushed at all. I'll be back cause I loved it.

   Server took over 20 min to get us our drinks and then rushed us to be out of the dinning room by 10pm. However food and drinks were great!

   Enjoyed our visit there before a show at Shubert. Menu was not extensive but what we had was good - chicken and waffle app, sliders, beef ragu (definitely big enough to share). Would skip the onion rings next time. I would go back again and try other menu items

   Everything that I had and tried was awesome. Sure there were some things that I did not particularly like, but even then it was more of the fact that the item was not in my usual palette of interest. Even those, I could see the appeal for people who genuinely enjoy things I am usually not overly fond of. The ingredients for every single dish were well thought out, tasted great, and I would recommend it to anybody in the area to give this restaurant a shot. I am for sure going to be back to try more items off of the menu and cannot wait to see what other things I will enjoy. This is definitely in my opinion, a place that will serve you good quality food in a comfortable setting. The only thing that was a downside for me was trying to navigate where the different dining rooms were as there was no signage and not much information. I felt a little lost wandering around for a bit until I found an acceptable seating spot. I would have preferred more information on what rooms were because this restaurant is a "seat-yourself" one.

    We had a reservation but no one was at the front desk to check anyone in so we waited 20 minutes. The restaurant is located across the street from the Schubert Theatre and the man who seated us said, "It's really crowded tonight. Is there a show tonight?" They only had 2 servers for the dining room and the poor server was running as fast as she could but couldn't keep up. She kept apologizing when it was the fault of management for not checking a simple calendar of events at the Schubert and staffing accordingly. Nearly everyone needed to be out of the restaurant by 7:15 to go to the show so the number of diners who needed to be served at a certain time was huge. The noise in the dining room was deafening; I couldn't hear the person I came with who was seated directly across from me. We got our meals at 7:21. I asked for the check and a take home box. By the time she returned it was 7:25 and the show started at 7:30. We had no time to eat and we realized we could not bring food into the Schubert so we had to throw it away on the way across the street. All in all it was a very disappointing experience which could easily have been remedied by knowing when the Schubert was having a show and expecting a crowd due to Elm City Social's location across the street. Won't go back again.
