    Society is such a fabulous restaurant! It is the total package...great atmosphere, excellent food, outstanding and attentive service (thanks, John and Jake!), and convenient location. Highly recommend the salmon, chef's vodka pasta, meatballs, and feta dip.

    We were expecting unique and got odd instead. We were very mixed about our experience here. The food ranged from very good (crunchy Brussels sprouts salad and avocado Caesar) to WAY over garlicky (lemon lobster pappardelle). The service was great. Prices as expected. The ambiance and decor lack cohesion. Maybe the place was decked out temporarily for the holidays but it looked like a hodge podge of salvaged restaurant decor. We chose this place because of its location near to two other venues we were visiting in the area.

    I spent my 22nd birthday here, the staff was very kind in helping with my reservation and my waitress Tessa was lovely. I had a great time and the food was a bit hit with my friends, definitely coming back
