    Food was good, but the waitress seemed a bit rushed and not very friendly. Unfortunately the hostess and manager went around asking people who had already eaten to leave because they had other parties waiting to be seated. I spoke to Rochelle, the manager and expressed my dismay at being rushed but he just grinned and apologized but still wanted us to make the table available. It was awkward and dissappointing.

    Great location and lively atmosphere, but the music was too loud. The food was just okay. My husband had to send his blackened salmon back because it was overly salty. We’re not in a hurry to return.

    Our server Aliana was great!! She was so kind and fun and catered to our needs. Food and ambience were good and the music playlist was sick.

    The short brunette hostess did not pay attention to the notes I left along side the reservation and she looked at me like I was an idiot for asking her to check my reservation. So no surprise birthday sparkler for my husband because the staff is cocky. I told her 3 times to check the reservation and she treated me like a freak. Ambience food nothing matters if staff makes guests feel unimportant.

    Very good, would come again! Mac and cheese was excellent. Very delicious and generous portions of food. Mac and cheese is cheesy and gooey, wings had a nice sauce and have a lot of new favours

    I love this place. I brought a co-worker recently and she loved the food and vibes. If you haven't yet, get the nachos!

    I took my cousin to the Social for her birthday dinner. Service was good. Food was very good. I agree with a previous reviewer about the mac n cheese. Needs more cheese. I ordered the bbq rib tower. Otherwise we had a great time. Guests around and near us looked very comfortable. Very nice ambience.
