   Unfortunately the experience wasn't good...they initially tried to sit us at a table by server's station which is totally distracting to have waitstaff constantly walking back and forth! I felt like a 2nd class citizen anad asked to be seated outside. It took awhile to even be served water, napkins, silverware and menus. The kitchen was backed up, they forgot the dressing for salad which took forever to get. Atleast the staff tried their best to make of a otherwise comedy of errors. I also don't like 'pre-fixed' 18 % gratuity as I would have tipped much less given the circumstances. They also FULL-WELL KNEW it was my son's 30th birthday and did NOTHING to accomodate this!! They wanted to seat me a a 2nd class table though!! Shame on Hampton Social!

   Why does the restaurant add an 18% charge to the check? I usually leave a 20% tip on the ENTIRE bill total. This time, my lunch companion and I did what was requested and left only 18% as requested.

   Food was average. Service was phenomenal. Pizza was watery, paper thin, although edible. The burger was bland and bun burnt . Salmon was room temp and bland. We’ve had better experiences in the past at Hampton. The lobster roll in the past was delish. Expresso martini is a treat too. Kind of felt like a meal worth half the price today. Again, from the hostess to our server, they do make you feel welcome. Only wish the food matched the level of service today.

   Too loud! While live entertainment is great...it was impossible to have a conversation.

   There was an automatic 18% gratuity fee added to our check and then we were given the option to add an additional % to the final tip. We have never seen this before, and if we hadn't noticed that, we would have tipped out typical 20%. The servers or staff should really inform the customer of this automatic gratuity charge, as dining out and groceries has become so expensive lately.

   I have been to Hampton Social Several times and the food is consistently good as is the service. Your golden beet salad and Ahi tuna bowl are my favorites. Thanks!

    We made reservation through OpenTable for 8:30 PM on Mothers Day, only to arrive to get seated, menus reviewed and told that that restaurant would be closing on 15 minutes and we should get the orders in. Had I known the restaurant closes in 30 minutes after our arrival I wouldn’t have shown up at all. We felt rushed, food came all at once, the server though mentioned she would be placing the order at the same time as kitchen closes momentarily. We love coming to Hampton Social and have been there at least a dozen of times but I didn’t appreciate being rushed. Plus the drinks were heavily diluted - 90% filled with ice. Again- why? Paying $16 for the glass of ice? Overall it was a disappointnent on the Mothers Day.
