    Outside dining for weekend brunch. Food good but not remarkable. Service ok but disappeared for long stretches. Amazingly for a brunch service, their coffee machine was broken. Music was loud inside, so beware.

    Stars given strictly for service. Restaurant was cute, service was excellent but food was NOT it. Steak frites were lacking seasoning & flavor. Fried chicken and cornbread had flavor but seemed burnt. Coleslaw equally bland as steak. Pretzels were underwhelming. Honestly, the food was just bad. My party and I were very disappointed. I hate to say it because the vibe was cool and the service was wonderful.

    The service is great. The items taste like local grown and homemade. The noise level is pretty high. Have been there before and will come again.

    Had the best night out here at Social. Loved every bit of it from the food to the atmosphere to the music. The charcuterie board was one of our favorites of the night (especially the manchego), and staff were extremely kind and attentive. Bravo to James for taking care of us. We will be coming back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Went to Social for Saturday brunch and arrived at 10am and was first in the door. It was quite cold inside (Feb 1) like there was no heat. The coffee makers probably weren't set up b/c it took more than 10 minutes to get a coffee. The food was very good - the Breakfast Burrito was generously large.

    We had a delicious dinner last night with the family. What a fun atmosphere and our waitress, Lyndsay was attentive and nice! Lyndsay even brought yummy churros with a sparkler in the middle for my daughter‘s boyfriend since he had just turned 21 on January 11.😊
