Set in the heart of Soho, Social Eating House offers a contemporary bistro menu in an informal, buzzing setting. The third restaurant from celebrated chef Jason Atherton, it won a Michelin star within six months of opening under Chef Patron Paul Hood. The restaurant is split across three levels, with cocktail bar The Blind Pig on the first floor (perfect for pre or post-dinner drinks), the restaurant on the ground floor and an exclusive chef’s counter dining space in the basement kitchen, where guests can watch their meal cooked before them.

    Amazing experience! We ate at the kitchen counter and had a great time, eating lovely food with perfect wine pairing. The sommelier, the waiter and the chef were really available and we spent almost 4 hours over there. I highly recommend this place!

    We arrived slightly early for a 17:30 reservation and they were clearly still settling up. After settling in for a meal we were offered to finish our deserts upstairs. This was initially quite nice but were suddenly in a bar and the service was very poor. A disappointing end to a meal

    Agree with some of the more negative reviews - food is quite average, cheesy 80s music, slightly dated decor (one of the exposed brick walls looks like a new build) - its not worth the money and it’s a very average experience. If it had been 30% cheaper I would be more positive but at their price point, there are far better places you can go.

    Needed a nice restaurant to celebrate my son's 16th birthday. Couldn't have chosen better! We all thoroughly enjoyed the food and it was perfect in terms of ambiance, busy but not noisy. The service was attentive without being over the top. We had the festive menu which was good value. We will definitely return.

    We had a lovely meal and I would like to give it a higher rating, but a few of the dishes were really over salted. The portions were generous for all courses including the sides.
