If you annotated (1) menu, then you will only be charged for (1) and so on.

We were greeted the moment we walked through the door. I had made reservations for 6pm and we were seated at 5:55. Our server Bodean (hoping I spelled his name right) was super personable and made recommendations when we asked. The food was delicious. It came out hot and the presentation of it was well put together! The manager Michael popped over to check on us and was very pleasant to speak with. Over all experience was fantastic!!! We will be back.

Brought guests from Pennsylvania. They had already heard about Society so were anxious to try it out. Thoroughly enjoyed every bite...from appetizers to main courses to dessert! Ambience is wonderful and staff is so attentive!

I treated a friend to a birthday dinner....and the experience was incredible. The interior is beautiful with the lighting and all the floral touches. The food was exquisite (whipped feta for an appetizer; mussels and wild mushroom pasta for two main courses). Brilliant wine selection! Our server was Erica, and she could not have been more friendly and personable. Just such a fun person...as was Michael, the manager. I have already recommended the restaurant to a friend and I cannot wait to return.

It wasn’t a bad experience. The service was great. The food wasn’t anything great, but it wasn’t bad any means. It was just an okay experience. This would be somewhere I would grab lunch at. I wouldn’t take anyone or plan a special event here.

Weird vibes. Kids at host stand were not welcoming and need some training since it’s the first impression we get. The windows overlook the line for the inprov next door and everyone waiting is staring into our table. Not sure why they don’t find a way to put drapes up or something. The restaurant also over looks a parking lot so covering the window would help a lot. Food is good, not great. The photos of the restaurant are all of the bar. The restaurant look is basic and nothing like the photos, not sure why they didn’t extend the look of the bar l, which is really nice, Into the restaurant.

It was super easy to find parking and the restaurant. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who confirmed our reservation and led us thusly to our table. Moments later our server likewise greeted us and perfectly timed coming back to check on us and take our orders. Food and drinks came out in a timely manner were hot, delicious, and devoured. Beautiful atmosphere and could work well for a casual dinner and visit or an impressive first date venue.
