    On this busy Valentine night, it was our tenth wedding anniversary, and our server Courtney was wonderful! We ordered some of our favs: the hubs loves the lobster bisque and the surf and turf. I had the special: brown butter scallops on top of jasmine rice with spinach in a wonderful buttery balsamic reduction. NOTE: the portion size of the scallops was VERY generous and well priced (by comparison, I once ordered scallops at another local winery type restaurant, and it was served - I kid you not - three scallops in a row on a long plate with NO SIDES for nearly the same price as CH). The sauce esp was sumptuous and the scallops were cooked to perfection. I had the recommended wine with the scallops as well: the Artists SAG awards White Blend. I had to have the chocolate cremeaux dessert: a chocolate mousse with a toffee cream on top, and whipped cream with toasted coconut, almond, chocolate crunch on top of that. DIVINE! I also ordered a glass of sparkling almond wine which was our wedding drink. Simply delicious! Courtney celebrated our wedding anniversary with us (we were married at a different CH ten years ago) and was knowledgeable, caring, and non-intrusive. Loved this dinner! Will be back of course!

    The food was delicious!! The service was good but he was very busy because it was Valentine’s Day. We did not receive our $25 off on our receipt and due to time constraints…we just figured we will use it next time. We were there almost two hours…it took a long time to get our orders, our food, my gf bread, water and water refills but the food was delicious (as always).

    Hampton Social was a great place to spend Galentine's. We had cocktails, sides, main entrees and dessert. It was all delicious...we came to spend some time together and the atmosphere and low key vibe was perfect.

    Well, above average for price point! Very nice environment. High-end steak diner would be my best description not a Ruth’s Chris steakhouse but so much nicer than a Jamison‘s. If you’re looking for quality and affordability with a nice environment, this is a good place for you.
