We had a great experience dining here on new years day! The place was steady, kind of loud but expected for how many patrons there were, service was pretty quick and the food was good! We'll definitely be back!

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!
