Although it was a busy Friday night, our server, Jennifer, was prompt, friendly and made a great suggestion to split a small salad to start the meal. My wife’s gnocchi and my spaghetti were excellent. We eat at the Social frequently and have always had an excellent experience

This was our first experience with The Social and we weren't disappointed. I've been wanting to come here for many years now and glad I finally got the chance. I'd have to say that the highlight of the meal was the homemade bread and olive tapanade - delicious! My lemon drop martini was okay but not the best I've ever had. The bacon wrapped scallops were very good and the filet mignon satay was tasty but the meat was a little tough. However, I would recommend the place and do plan to return at some point.

Food was excellent and not expensive for the quality of it. Nice setting not over noisy where you can talk to your table mates. Service was on the slow side although the server was extremely polite and professional.

Excellent neighborhood restaurant. Near local community theater. Can eat and see play. Serve the most delicious French Onion Soup, and the Shrimp Coctail is also very good. Our first choice for theater nights.

Our waitress was five star, our food was five star. The hostess wasn’t very friendly or accommodating. We made a reservation a couple of days in advance. We asked for a booth, but we’re told it was reserved which is understandable. We did receive our second choice of seating unfortunately there was a birthday party right behind us. That was extremely loud. Overall, we love this restaurant. It will be a new option for us when we eat out. They take reservations, which hardly anybody does anymore and the food is definitely worth it.
