   We’ve been here numerous times - it’s always reliable and consistent. We recently came for a birthday celebration. The space was beautifully decorated for the holidays. It was cozy and warm (it was the coldest day of the season). Service and food were excellent. The noise was perfect for conversations. A few of us decided to have hot toddy bc it was so cold - they were delicious. We shared most of the appetizers and we had chicken, steak, and fish across the entres - all were delicious. A great evening.

   Fine but nothing special. Pics of place looked better online. Tables too close to each other
   

   Society CafeResponded on 9 December 2024

   Hi Stephanie, We apologize that we weren't what was expected from photos online. Our brunch can be quite a scene but we can promise that our weekday service is generally more spacious and on the quieter side, especially for Dinner. Also, this is our busiest season which means that the dining room is generally more full and we can understand that this could be frustrating especially given that some of our photos online are from our slower season. We wish that you would give us another chance but understand that there are a lot of restaurants in New York that you may prefer to try out. Thank you for your feedback, we know that you took time out of your schedule and we appreciate it.

   Food was good, ambience very good. Very pretty decorations. Would recommend for drinks but maybe not a weekend dinner considering how many are in the area .

   Hi Lauren, We are glad to hear that the ambiance was good, but saddened to notice that our food and service fell short of expectations. If you have a moment to share with us what about your experience could have been improved upon we would really appreciate the feedback. We work with local farms, take extra effort to source from smaller vendors, and we'd hate to think we aren't doing our best by these ingredients! We understand that this time of year everyone is busy so we totally understand if you don't have a moment. Have a great week and a happy holidays.

    I have visited this place many times over the years but unfortunately though the ambiance and the food is still very good, I was irritated by how the service staff member cleared my plate of food before I was finished all the bites on my plate. I felt like this needs to be improved a bit.
    

    Society CafeResponded on 2 December 2024

    Hi Andrew, We wholeheartedly apologize for clearing your plate before you were finished. It is unacceptable. We will talk to our team about how to communicate when we think someone might be finished. We appreciate you returning and still giving us 4 stars. We promise that we will work on this. It is very helpful that you provide us with this information and will only help us improve. Thank you again for your honest feedback and we hope that we will see you again.
