    We have eaten at the Alphington social many times. Unfortunately the main meals of chicken Parma and gluten free seafood pizza were not great. The pizza was very oily and watery previously the pizza was more Italian like and it was amazing. Seems the recipe has changed and I didn’t enjoy it. Seafood was also scant especially prawns so not value for money. The Parmas were also not great - previously they were fresh and flavoursome but the men eating them said they tasted pre cooked and dry. Not sure if the restaurant had changed ownership or new chefs but we we’re disappointed

    Great ambience, service and drinks. Had a small issue with the food but apart from that it was quite pleasant lunch.

    Have been here half a dozen times before and was looking forward to today’s lunch, unfortunately today was a complete letdown which was disappointing as it was for Mother’s Day. The quality of the food was poor definitely a supplier issue the cuts of steak were subpar, seafood pasta was a huge letdown Everything was devoid of flavour and the quality of produce was obviously low. Will not be returning.

    I was incredibly accommodated by the staff, from the acknowledgment of my booking notes to the candle they found for my Mum’s birthday cake (we used the sticky date pudding off the dessert menu, so unbelievably work it).

    What’s happened to Alphington Social. I’d had the mushroom risotto last year which was divine. Unfortunately I didn’t check the menu and just ordered it again. When it came I thought it was a mistake as it was a creamy pale lack lustre mess with chicken. The veal schnitzel was tough and came with half a plate of creamy coleslaw. Even the sticky date pudding was rubbery. Everything was so bad we just had to laugh. We definitely won’t be going back

    I love the ambiance here. Still do. The owners have kept the vibe. Sadly the food wasn’t as flawless as it always used to be. And a new staff member, whilst trying their best and very pleasant, did not know what was or wasn’t available. Simple things like tea and coffee for example. Or just forgetting to action orders. More training would go astray. Despite this I still enjoy the place.
