I was impressed by their beautiful decor and their stunning bar. The staff were very upbeat, friendly and helpful! I was again impressed by the service. I ordered a mojito mocktail and the bartender decided to make it a pomegranate mojito and it was soooo good. I was continually impressed. I also love when a restaurant leaves the water on the table. That's always a nice touch. I also noticed they have various types of water, including sparking and ph alkaline. For food my friend and I shared the Wedge salad and the pickled onions stole the show. The salad was packed with flavor and so delicious. We also got the tomato basil flatbread and it did not disappoint. The cheese was gooey, the tomatoes bursted with flavor...I'm craving it just thinking about it. The last stand out item were the fries! They had the perfect amount of crispy to crunchy ratio! I would say the best fries I've had in a long, long time! I will be back - if you're ever thinking about opening another location, I suggest San Clemente or Dana Point (closer to me)!

First concern was when we pulled up parking lot almost empty. Went in and all tables empty. Was seated and given menus. Menu was given and though more limited than on website was still substantial enough. When given or drinks then in a few minutes were told we couldn’t get what we ordered as on Tuesday they had a limited menu. We were then given a different menu that was basically flatbread or burgers which is not what we came for. We ordered flatbreads and burgers and while they were pretty good it was totally not what we came for. May be wrong but we’re under the impression the owner was our waiter. So if you want bar food fine otherwise don’t believe reviews on Yelp or website.

We had a fantastic brunch at Social! I ordered the avocado toast, and it was anything but ordinary—beautifully presented, creative, and absolutely delicious. My friends raved about the Social Benedict, which featured tender brisket and a flavorful sauce that added an unexpected but incredible twist to the classic dish. Great atmosphere and service rounded out a perfect brunch experience. Highly recommend!

The food was outstanding! The Drive Thru burger was one of the best I've ever had! The Roasted Garlic hummus was unique and very tasty, also loved the Fritto mist was delicious. Looking forward to returning and trying the other menu items. Service was excellent as well.

With food and drinks as good as they were, we were left wondering why the restaurant wasn’t as busy as we would have thought it would be on a Saturday night. Our server said that there had been a change in ownership, but not in the name of the restaurant. If you haven’t eaten here lately, you may want to try it again. The only criticism I can offer is that our pasta could have been cooked a minute or two longer, but the flavor was fantastic! The drinks were unique and delicious!

My steak was mostly fat. The potatoes were too creamy. The salad had onions. If I'd known I would have asked for no onions. The guy at the table next to me was on his phone. The volume was high. He was watching a game and since we're in such close proximity it was annoying. I just went there for a drink and a good dinner in quiet setting and I didn't get that.
