   I thought the loud music and inability to communicate with other guests took away from the meal. They charge a 3% surcharge- that should have gone out with the end of Covid. To get the surcharge taken off the bill was enormously annoying. Also thought overall pricing was high. There were 6 people in our party. Other guests were overall positive on the cuisine.

   J William, My name is Cory and I am the general manager of The Hampton Social. Thank you for this feedback, while I am happy to hear that your guests were overall happy with their cuisine, the rest of this feedback troubles me. The ambiance, including the music, is there for your enjoyment and my management team should set it to an appropriate level upon request. If ever you have a request to help enhance your experience, please let us know. I can see given this faux pas that you did not see the value. I do my best to ensure that everything in regards to ambiance is perfect to help increase the value and hopefully justify our prices. Next time you visit please say hello, I'd like to ensure that everything goes just right and you leave impressed. Thank you. Cory Purcell General Manager

   No holiday spirit, very, very loud. It sounded like a disco.Very pricey, the wrong place to go for a festive atmosphere on Christmas Eve ,

   Francis, Thank you for this feedback and I am sorry we missed the mark on creating a festive enough atmosphere. We put forth quite a bit of effort with the wreaths, tree, garland, ornaments and other miscellany to transform the building into something warm and festive. Next year I will be sure to do more to ensure all of our guests feel like they're in the right spot with the appropriate spirit for Christmas Eve. Thank you. Cory Purcell General Manager

   Menu is very limited and portions are too small for what you pay. Beer is near $10 and a glass of wine not even a healthy pour is $18. Value is just not there!!

   Roger, Thank you for taking the time to provide me with this feedback. I am sorry that we did not create an experience for you that made you see the value. If the prices are too high then I would like to invite you in for our Happy Hour which offers our draft beer, wine, select featured cocktails as well as food items at a discounted price. If you opt to return, for either the standard menu or the Happy Hour, please say hello. I would like to do everything within my ability to ensure you leave impressed. Thank you.

   Everything was wonderful except it should be explained that the sparkling and still water have a cost. We were asked which we preferred before we even sat down and were already ordering something we thought was complimentary.

   Menu options are small, and food and drinks are over priced. Especially the drinks.

   We sat in the bar area and it was the perfect place to celebrate my friends birthday! Drinks are pricey for the suburbs

   The food and service were great. We went for lunch with another couple, everyone thought the prices were a bit high, but we went there for the food. The lunch menu is a bit minimal, in my opinion. I will go back, but probably at dinner.
   

   The Hampton Social - South BarringtonResponded 4 days ago

   Many thanks, Bill, for your kind review and considerate feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed your lunch experience with us. Your comments about our menu selection are appreciated, and we'll certainly take them into consideration as we aim to provide a diverse range of offerings.
