The Society was a pleasant surprise. This was my first time at the restaurant. The food was OK. Not great, but good... The atmosphere made it a great hangout spot. There was a DJ and games for activities. The people that were dining seemed like they were regulars, and I can see why. I would definitely go again.

Great food. Extremely friendly staff. The chairs in the booths on the first floor are disgusting however. The restaurant should prioritize investing in some new ones. All the cigarette holes, questionable crumbs, and alcohol stains made me not want to sit down.

The food was 1000/10. WOW! It was so good. We opted for the Sunday buffet brunch and I'm glad we did. I usually have low expectations for buffets but I was pleasantly surprised. The upstairs area has a DJ, bar, and hookah available. Nice area to turn up after having all that food! I will say that the service was SUPER slow at brunch though. We had to ask for our bill numerous times and constantly look for someone to refill our drinks.

Our waiter Shamar L was an extremely sweet gentleman. I liked everything he recommended. Mad you all were out of something but the food was overall good. His service however made it better.

The service was good; the waiter did everything we asked for; however, the jerk chicken platter, uh, yeah, I was disappointed. The jerk chicken was dry, and they forgot the plantains, so they bought two dry, small, flat, stiff ones. The rice was spread out instead of in an upright cup position like they did not have enough.
