Made the reservation because they were advertising the special drinks for patio opening. Signs everywhere advertising the specials. Tried to order the drinks and was told that they are only available on the patio but there is no food. Asked if I can go and buy the drinks and bring them down, we’re told no. Tried to order drinks and they were out of ghost pepper. Then I was told I CAN go upstairs and buy the drinks and bring them down. Ordered falafel for dinner, server came back and said they were out. Upstairs only one bartender working and 4 chatting. First I got charged $30 for 2 margaritas, then went to get 2 more and got charged $40 for the same drinks. Would have loved to speak to someone about all these issues, but managers just talking to hostess and bar staff, not customers.

We had 6:30 PM reservations on a Saturday. We were told they were sold out of salads and an entree or two that we wanted. We have been to Social many times over the years. This was our worst experience at Social.

Our server David was very nice and courteous. He definitely checked on us multiple times. He was very communicative and made sure that we had what we needed. I had a young child with me so he was very attentive to her needs as well. This was a great experience for us on a Saturday afternoon. Food was good, cocktails were delicious!

We will not set foot at this place ever again! We reserved a high top and got a wiggly table. We were moved by our server to another table but then the manager came and told us that we can’t sit there, basically blaming us that we moved ourselves to this table. Eventually, they let us stay because they couldn’t fix the wiggly table. However, we felt that we are not welcome so we left and found a more welcoming place to eat. Very bad service!

We love going to Social, love the ambiance and their dishes, unfortunately last night 05/04, I ordered the salmon and found a hair in it, they made me a new dish, but pretty disgusting to be in that situation! Other than that, no problems at all!

Fun atmosphere. Great place for cocktails and appetizers. Husband had the cheeseburger (very good) and I had the brick chicken which was good but nothing special. I was excited for the truffle fries but was disappointed. They were solidly OK for $14. Huge serving if you have a lot of people to share. Overall, I would come back for cocktails but probably not dinner.

This place was a dream come true. I felt like I was vacationing in Tulum, it gave off such bohemian vibes. I never felt so cozy eating out, the high top tables are like lounging bean bags. So of course after a bowl of their truffle fries and to die for turkey burger I was full and sleepy.

I made reservations for brunch with some friends, when we ordered our drinks turns out they were out of Rose, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon blanc and then after deciding to get a mimosa they come back to tell Me they didn’t have any Prosecco. Very strange experience and the service wasn’t that great. Have been a long time social fan but not so much after that experience.

We used to come here a lot, but slowly stopped because the service was getting super bad! We honestly only love the rooftop setting and drinks! We finally came back after a long break from Social, but got lucky with a wonderful bartender on the rooftop! We’re happy to be back!

Be careful how you order the salmon. Not sure there is a way to get it perfect. I requested "Medium" and it was nice on the outside and completely raw inside. Lentils were good. The order of donuts was disappointing. 3 anemic looking skinny donuts. The cookies were a much better choice and more plentiful. Lunch for two with dessert, no bar drinks was $80.

Birthday lunch. The waitress was training and she was super sweet. The drinks and food were great. Pretty bummed they seemed to be out of a lot of things from Caesar salad to truffle fries and more. The menu is already small and felt like a quarter of it, they were out of.

Came here for my birthday as it is one of my favorite places. Great atmosphere. Had to wait a little past our reservation time which was kind of understandable for a busy Sunday. Food usually is outstanding but looks like we had the bottom of the barrel of the fries this time. I hyped up the quality to my family and it was kind of a let down but other than that the staff was kind.
