   Great little restaurant and bar on Boylston Street. Only complaint is we waited a while before being served but it didn’t really dampen our experience.

   We had made reservations on New Years and were seated right away. The food came quickly and was very tasty. The short ribs were delicious and the steak frites were also tasty but a bit overcooked for a medium rare request. The portions were very large. Despite it being a sports bar, we were seated at a booth had no issues with the noise.

   The place is closed! Yet my online reservation was taken, and a reminder sent the day before! Imagine my surprise when we showed up! Crazy!

   Its always fun to go to Brunch and there are lots of choices. They are all about the same in terms of pricing and offerings. The Social Club is no exception. The hostess was welcoming and very pleasant and our waiter - tho harried - was efficient and very good at his job. We all found our meals nicely prepared and tasty. My only problem was that my English muffin for my Benedict was not toasted - not pleasant tasting. But - I would go back and just make sure I requested a toasted one.

   Table for two was tiny and very close to two other tables for two. Wine tasted as if it had been opened too long. Salmon entree was great. We made reservations there because it was recommended on the website for the Boston Pops. It’s a very casual restaurant with a young vibe. With reservations at 5, we were able to finish in plenty of time.

    Great Brunch menu with lots of variety, one of the better ones in the area. We all enjoyed our selections: Breakfast Scramble Flatbread was excellent and egg dishes were good; potatoes with the eggs were overcooked, though. Overall we were very pleased and would definitely return. We were at a table in the back, which was great for our group except that it was pretty dark, especially for a daytime meal.

    We went for Sunday brunch and were mildly disappointed. Mimosa's were tasty but served in small water glasses. Coke was served with no flavor and flat (our server took away the drink and never returned a new one or anything else). Chicken and waffles, wing appie, breakfast sando were terrific. Bananas Foster French toast was slightly burned but the sauce was delicious.

    The menu posted on OpenTable does not match the menu at the restaurant. Everything we were looking forward to eating wasn’t even on the menu. OpenTable needs to update their website with accurate info.

    The service and food were great, no complaints there! The outdoor seating area, the tables are super small to hold plates especially when you have a party of 4. My group had to put masks, cell phones and keys on the ground. When we were done our drinks we couldn't even place our glass on the tables because they were too small and the plates were taking up the spots on the table.

    It was a busy evening with the employees stretched to cover their tables. We waited for 50 minutes for our food, and it arrived less than hot. Our waitress did not reappear after taking our orders until she presented the check.

    I’ve been to Back Bay Social many times, but not in a couple years. The restaurant was playing extremely loud music, louder than I recall in the past, and since it was more than half empty the music was somewhat echoing. While I understand it’s also a bar, it was early in the night (7:30pm) and no one was really at the bar, everyone was sitting down for Dinner. We asked to moved to the outdoor patio because of the noise but we weren’t moved because there wasn’t a table initially, then seemed like the hostess and server forgot that we asked to move. Then we asked if the music volume could be lowered and our server said she would speak to the manager, but nothing happened. I will note I had my 73-year old mother with me who was not ok with the noise level, I’m in my 30s and I could tolerate it but it was difficult to hear anyone at my table speak. I will not go here for dinner ever again, while the food was decent, the restaurant is way too loud for anything but drinks at the bar and only suited for a younger crowd.
