Best Casual Restaurants in Sylmar

I enjoyed our experience, great value for price, service and timing of food was on time, only improvement would be dim the lights a bit considering it's Valentine and dinner.

What’s not to like about Gus? Great local bbq only to be complimented by the exceptional hospitality of Reina. She’s an absolute pleasure. Someone that’s so meticulous about their work and genuinely remembers you. We’d come back just to hang out with her.

The Social has an unassuming exterior and was not immediately obvious. Inside it’s quite pleasant, with a small bar partially partitioned from the main dining room. The lighting was just a bit too bright for a truly romantic ambiance but about right to appeal to the general public. We both had salads which turned out to be surprisingly delicious- honestly, one of the best I’ve ever had. I had the onion soup and that, too, was delicious and extraordinary flavorful. She had a martini and said that the balance of components was perfect. Our server Chelsea was superb: friendly and attentive (but not hovering) service. In fact we stayed until after they closed and the staff were cleaning up around us but no one ever murmured a word about the inconvenience; Chelsea acted like we were their guests and could stay as long as we wished. (Afterwards I regretted leaving only 20% tip.) Our experience at The Social was first rate. It’s not the fanciest place but they make the most of the place they’ve got, the food is delicious, the martinis are perfect, and the service is superb. This place is a hidden gem.

Had our company Christmas lunch here the service was good and so was the food will come back again.

First time there and fell in love with the place right away. Love the ambience, service was great, hookah was great. Will definitely be coming back.
