We ate dinner here 2 nights in a row. Food was fresh and delicious and service was excellent. First night we had drinks, Summer Dream was refreshing. We had the Mezze Board…feta with honey was very tasty. Steak tips and NY sirlion…cooked as ordered and a good portion. The feta roasted carrots were surprisingly good. Second night was Bishop Burger and Cobb Salad, flavorful and fresh. We also had the Short Rib Meatballs…get them. Exceptional!!!

I’ve only been down this road once prior out of my hundreds of reviews. But, when I fly from Los Angeles to Boston being sold a hotel room with an open restaurant in a clean room, I kind of expect that. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. Upon arrival I found that the restaurant was closed to a private party for the night. This was at 4:00 p.m. during their advertised open hours and there was absolutely no one inside. I was simply turned away by staff. You’ll find later, that I was also turned away when the private party was over during operational hours and still turned away. That’s at midnight when I was kind of lightheaded from low blood sugar throughout the day.

Food was great. Stayed for about 10 minutes the next day I visited and no one took my order or even looked at me. There were only three groups dining so it was weird. I walked out and went next door.

I was staying at the Sheraton and planned on eating at their onsite restaurant. I took a left out of the elevator and fell into Social. The service here was amazing with the best IPA I’ve ever had. The New York sirloin was absolutely lights out! I stay in Boston often and will stay at the Sheraton from now on so I can visit this excellent restaurant again!

For a restaurant at a hotel, this is surprisingly good food. Like really good! I think it’s because it is its own restaurant and not affiliated with the hotel. The salmon is amazing, the scallop with mushroom risotto is REALLY good, I had their French dip burger last visit and the clam chowder is one of a kind. Good bar selections as well with various beers on tap. The fries are very good too!

The food was good, and it’s a great place to get a nice dinner, but, as a customer, I really don’t appreciate having the ticket bringed up to me when I wanted to get something else. I don’t want to give up people but the waitress. She didn’t want to serve me, and I was all by myself just enjoying a nice meal because it was really good the rissotto.

The service was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Our waitress was great. I did enjoy the caprese salad. I ordered the chicken over mashed. I found it a little overdone, dry and slightly bland. I also wish it came with some sort of Veggie instead of just a garnish. My boyfriend got the Mac and cheese. It was extremely bland and had an odd flavor. Atmosphere was lovely. Just a shame the food was not.

Great neighborhood place with quality rivaling any city restaurant. These guys recently set up nice sidewalk seating, very pleasant on a summer evening. If you haven’t been here ever, or even recently, it’s time to pop over. I’ll confess that we pigged out but it was yummy and we hadn’t been out to eat recently so… Between us, we put away three cocktails, two dozen oysters, three lobster sliders, a plate of fried calamari, half of a platter of steak tips with double portion of Brussels sprouts, and a Coke.

I never take the time to write bad reviews. I have worked as a good server for many years. But I came into this restaurant today already in tears due to personal issues, and the bartender seemed to have taken this as me being upset because they were not allowing me to order takeout, because he not only complained about us out loud to the other people sitting at the bar but also laughed at me when I started crying again as I left. (The female server seemed very kind and did her best to help me when I frantically asked for a box when the tears started again.)

Had a good lunch here with my girlfriend. The restaurant was almost empty so they had a few staff working but they were all friendly and took care of us. The food was really good we thought (we each got a burger). The restaurant space is beautiful and spacious. Overall a great meal.
