The club itself is fabulous. The music, the bartenders, the ambiance all great. The food is also very good but food service is very poor. They don’ t know about the menu or what they have and they are very, very, very slow. We have been there twice now and had this same experience. They need better tablet servers. Despite that every thing else is enjoyable and that’s what will take us back.

the restaurant could have been a little cleaner, especially the lady's room but overall visit was good

I loved every second! The food was fast and fresh. The live music really set the tone, great song selections. I can’t wait to go back!

Brunch was nice

First time going and not what I expected food was no seasoned. I had the pasta and it left a grease taste

My wife and so enjoyed our experience here. I set up reservations for my wife birthday and we were seated on time. Our waiter was nice and consistently checked on our table. The food and drinks were great. The DJ did a great job playing good R&B music mixed with old and new school. The Red Snapper and the Rib-Eye was excellent. Our appetizer were fresh and served quickly. I recommend this place and will be revisiting it while I’m here in Maryland. Also, the atmosphere was excellent. Not rowdy and the place was clean. My wife immediately said “I love this” when we walked in. We knew that we were going to have a good time.

Check your bill before tipping as the tip is already included in your bill (doesn't matter size of party, mine was two ppl) but they don't tell you so you end up tipping the server twice. Not that I mine tipping twice but when worth it. This service wasn't unfortunately. Our entrée came out with the appetizers, so the party next to us offered space from their table to hold our entrées until we finished the appetizers. Food was cold and it did not taste like the Society I know and come appreciate. I also asked my server for a receipt after paying and he never brought it back, and I had to leave; which leads me to believe the "extra tipping" matter was done purposely. This part should've been as transparent as possible...it's tough out here and some folk cannot afford to tip twice at $25-30; basically the server walked away with double tip for $100 food bill. I'll definitely think twice before recommending or visiting Society again. Also a restroom is needed upstairs. Not a good look having dinner downstairs and party goers have to literally walk through the restaurant to use the restroom.

Happy hour offers great value for the drinks and the service was attentive and timely

We've gone out for brunch at Society twice and have very much enjoyed it each time. The classic American breakfast has everything you need if you like it traditional. Loved that everything tasted natural, with no artificial seasoning. The breakfast potatoes were hand cut, properly seasoned and had just the right amount of crunch on the outside and soft interior. We ordered eggs over easy and eggs over medium, and each was cooked to perfection. With such great breakfast food, it's an additional treat that they also have live jazz music on Sundays. Really enjoyed the sax player, but the singer really hit the notes too. It was another pleasant experience, one that may turn into more of a regular thing. One tip: Sound mixing needs some calibration so that the singers voice can be more audible e.g., background music needs to have less bass.

My family and I were lucky to stumble upon this spot shortly after 12 noon this past Sunday. We trickled in without a reservation( as an party of 5) unknowing of the popularity of this establishment. The manager Bianca showed us genuine hospitality and accommodated us as an walk-in right before the start of the busy Sunday brunch rush of reservations. ???? The service we received was impeccable. The food was divine and came out in a timely manner. Shout out to our server TJ who was extremely attentive and again a Huge thank you to the boss lady Bianca for arranging our table and allowing us to experience this pleasant brunch gem!
