I feel that, with respect, a fair amount of the other reviewers I've read on here expected something different from this restaurant than what this restaurant has to offer. This place is both "hip" AND higher quality of food. It's a great mixture of both trendy gastropub eats AND colorful high-class chops and grilled items. Their happy hour $8 burger is easily worth upwards up $20 at a similar place, and everything else I've eaten or drank there is phenomenal. They provide experimental eats and tried-and-true classics, and all have been wonderful. You can also come here for a quality cocktail alone, but regardless of what you come for, it's going to be higher quality. It's not Morton's, but it's also not a greasy spoon hipster gastro: it's the best of both of those ideas put together. The staff here is accommodating and colloquial--this place gets busy, especially on weekends and at brunch, but they've always seemed to treat me with respect, even as a single diner at the bar. One time they made a mistake on my check and gave me a full refund, no questions asked. I'd recommend going here no matter what you're into. Cheers.

Just OK. Best part were the french fries! And the drinks were good, also! BUT the meet entrees were pretty tasteless, the meat quality was not that great, and let's just say it was disappointing. FOR THE PRICEPOINT, THEY SHOULD BE SPOT ON! We didn't go crazy or anything... I had a drink, a beer, split a salad with my wife, then the meat dish.... and it came to $120 per person! Pretty overpriced for what you get. And on top of that, the meat wasn't really anything special. So, won't likely be back... too many other PHENOMENAL places to go in the area!!! P.S. chairs are super dang annoying took, rock hard little metal chairs. I think they could do a little better...

This used to be a good place. Quality has gone down; prices went up. The Spanish octopus is a lot of potatoes for a tiny overcooked & chewy monopus. What you have in the plate is not worth the money

Fantastic atmosphere withe excellent drinks and food, we will be back!!!

Investing and getting positive returns is all I ever wanted and am glad I found it. Thanks Mrs Ami Brenda, for your great skills of mining and trading in my account, very diligent in her work. All I did was invest $700 and within 5days she made $9,600 profit for me. Contact Mrs Ami Brenda, via Email: [email protected] WhatsApp:+12135450862

Really good food and drinks. The beachelada was good and spicy. The bottomless mimosas were reasonably priced. The chilaquiles were a large portion she very tasty. Cute Instagramable decor all around

Had our holiday party for work here this year and IT WAS A BLAST. got to sample so many little bits but the grilled cheese was THE BEST

Great vibe whether you’re going on a first date or grabbing casual drinks after work. Great service. We had a large party and they did well to take care of everyone as we arrived. Good cocktails. The old fashioned was excellent as well as the Moscow mule. The Brussel sprouts are incredible. So much flavor. I got the Wagyu steak and it was perfectly cooked medium rare. It was perfection. Highly recommend!

Amazing venue space . Welcoming, and professional staff. I was hired to DJ a private event there. The staff welcomed me and treated me like I was their resident DJ. Made for a great night. For your next private event consider SOCIAL.

It was so good here, I'm a Texas boy just visiting so I gotta say it was delicious. Our server was super attentive and kind matching the food bursting with flavor. So glad my family and I got to eat breakfast here
