    We loved our experience! We are new to town and Urban Grub was recommended to us. From the service to the beautiful raw bar and lovely desserts, everything was fantastic. The complementary valet service on a rainy January evening was a fantastic touch as well. We went for a birthday celebration and we will certainly be back!

    Absolutely amazing dinner at the Hampton Social!! Beautiful restaurant and also great views of the city and the bridge. Service was fast and friendly. They even bought us champagne for our anniversary. As for the food - the shrimp and crab bruschetta is a must have. Oysters were delicious and the burger is one of the best we’ve ever had. For dessert, the banana foster on a chocolate chip waffle is worth every calorie. Just get it! We cannot wait to come back and try the brunch!
