    I was impressed by this locations staff & servers. They all were young but very nice, polite and professional. The restaurant was beautiful, quiet and clean. The table next to me got to leave & the staff came right over and sprayed it down for the next customers. The food was good. The only complaint I have with it is my mom’s rotisserie chicken was a little salty and my burger wasn’t cooked like i asked. I asked for medium well but it came out medium. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Wow! I’m so glad I finally booked the restaurant. I’ve been a fan of his from Food Network. Had co-workers in town from down south. They appreciated the friendly staff, ambiance, and delicious food. So happy to see Tobias there and working after his injury last year. Would definitely recommend the cheesesteak eggrolls, short rib, brussel sprouts, and lobster ravioli. Table next to us had deviled eggs that looked delish also.

    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.

    Excellent imaginative dishes, very good service—superb sweet breads and pheasant. Mmmmmm… The ambiance is slightly lacking—-long narrow room, no tablecloths, but that is the only drawback. Can’t wait to go back!
