The food was excellent but we were unable to have a conversation due to the noise level. We were seated between two large groups and everyone was yelling to hear each other. My ears were ringing by the time we left.

Chicken parmigiana was not what I expected. There was a bone in the chicken meat, so obviously it wasn’t a chicken breast! My wife liked the flatbread pizza. A little pricey!

This was my first time dining at Main Street Social and it was a great experience. The food was absolutely outstanding and the atmosphere gave a very fun, chilled but elegant vibe. I highly recommend the Burrata as an appetizer and the salmon as an entree. We will be back for sure.

Great food. Great experience. We had a meatball, salmon, and the prosciutto flatbread. Meatball filled us up in the first place! Extra parts of the meal were great . Definitely will be back.

We had to be in Libertyville the past 2 weekends unexpectedly and very much enjoyed the entire experience at Main Street Social. We live in the city and go out all the time and this restaurant would fit in just fine. I had a glass of the Bordeaux blend and wish I ordered a whole bottle for the table. We enjoyed the Beet Carpaccio, Lobster risotto, Seafood Brodetto, and the Smores desert. Everything was fresh and so tasty. Would definitely go back if the opportunity arises.
