    Restaurant was very pretty in side but also very cold, figured they’d turn up the heat knowing how cold it was outside. The food was plated very nicely and didn’t taste bad, my only complain with the food is that all food ordered came out cold! As we walked in we were greeted so rudely by one of the servers .. when she started bringing over food she came with an attitude had to ask our main server not to send her back to the table! Our main server was amazing though and tried to make every moment right, which i appreciated so much! She was the sweetest

    2nd time going here the food is subpar to say the least. I got lobster mac & cheese and it was FILLED with dices Onions, bell peppers, and diced tomatoes. I have never had mac & cheese with all of that and it was for a good reason. I decided to give them another chance almost 1 year and I was even more disappointed than the first time! Have very expectations when you go. At the drinks are decent

    Great food. Great service . Music was excellent (nice touch with having a DJ). So nice to have the option to ring in the New Year here….party favours and all!

    Food is great, large portion and very tasty. Ambiance is good, music is nice. Server is friendly but needs more training. We ordered ribs and a few pieces fell on the table when he was serving it and he just stared at us. No offer to replace or whatever. When I said "it's ok" he just said "the table is clean". My husband tried to order brewed coffee and was told they don't have coffee. When I asked again I was told "we only have black coffee". The server was not a deal breaker for us but they have to be trained more to deal with unexpected situations. Also has to be familiar with food terminologies specially when they are being offered in the resto.

    Our experience with social was amazing. Especially the desert (Ube cheese cake) was delicious. Very nice place for dinner since they have good ambience. Customer service was excellent. Big thanks to shreesha, who was taking care of us. I would recommend this place for first time visitors. I would love to visit this place again in future.
