Dining at the Social was a delicious, warm, comfortable evening out. The informative, responsive service, spacious table placements and comfortable music created an intimate ambience. The flavour of the food was as artistically created as its presentation. We made a great choice!

Overall the service was great, though it sometimes took a while to get drinks and water. I think putting a bottle of water on the table would be a good idea so you don't have to wait for refills as the water cups are small.

We enjoyed the live saxophone music. The restaurant had a good ambience and was esthetically nice. Our food didn't take long to come. We ordered the Hummus and naan bread. The food especially the naan bread was too salty,so I couldn't finish it.. I would go back,but I would order something different.
