The quality of the food at Main Street Social has declined in both my wife's and my opinion. My wife had the mussels, and the sauce was too spicy. I had the Squash soup, the mash potatoes and the grilled Brussel sprouts salad. Something in one of those three items caused my stomach to tumble all night, and I had a bad night sleeping. And, of course, the price is high. Sadly, I don't think that we'll be going back in a while.

We typically dine in and decided to host my daughter's birthday dinner with friends and family. Unfortunately, everyone's food came out burned. The waitress was extremely nice and so was the other staff. Again typically the food is terrific maybe it was just because we had such a large party. I would certainly eat here again but maybe not for a large party.

Didn't realize that by asking to be seated by a fireplace that it meant being seated out in the back tented area, outside of the formal dining room. It meant a quieter meal, as the dining room was very crowded, but not the romantic dinner I'd hoped for. The service was great. The meal and dessert were great.

Our server, Angela, made our dining experience go from a 10 to an 11! Her drink and appetizer (Burrata di Stefano) suggestions were delicious. My burger came with a side of fries and Angela offered a garlic dip for said fries. 2nd best decision I made that night. The first was dining at this location for Valentines! Everything from the food, service, and seating was lovely. This was our first visit and will not be the last! Dinner is calling our name.
