    Had a great time here celebrating a birthday. Arancini was delicious; my favorite part of it was the lovely light pesto cream topping. We got the NY strip steak which was flavored & cooked perfectly, and the creamed spinach was delicious. We also got the Atlantic Salmon with baby potatoes. Salmon had some crunch to it on the outside but was super tender & soft on the inside. It was all on a horseradish sauce which was a bit too spicy at times but still good overall. For dessert, we got the flourless brownie with coffee ice cream and salted caramel and it was the perfect match of flavors. Loved it here, will definitely be coming back!!

    Ellis Square social is our go to whenever we have events at the Cabot Theater as they always hit it out of the park . Last night was no exception - from the Arancini appetizer to the stuffed pork chop and chicken with risotto. Everything was delicious. Don’t forget to end your night with the sticky toffee pudding. You will not be disappointed !

    Everything we had was great. The only thing we thought of that could improve would be to have a few more choices on the menu for sandwiches.
