    Place has a nice ambiance but was too loud as live band is playing in front of you as you eat so don’t recommend for date especially for first date LOL. Food was ok, had jerk chicken and was probably the worst jerk chicken I’ve ever had, hard to chew, not tender, dry, relied on just jerk sauce for flavor and rice was dry too , tasted kinda buttery though. Ginger ale even tasted kinda bad there. Probably won’t come again unless maybe it’s the bar.

    This restaurant is probably more suitable to eat at during lounge/club hours on the weekend. It was a very low crowd evening on a Monday, the service was very slow, we had a party of 3, no one’s meal came out at the same time. The food, service and atmosphere was very mediocre. The employees were nice!

    I celebrated my 18th birthday at Society Restaurant & Lounge with a group of friends, and we all had an amazing time. Our server was kind, attentive, and had a great sense of humor—he kept us laughing the whole night, and we shared plenty of jokes in return. Our food arrived quickly, and everything was delicious. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, I genuinely have no complaints. It was a great experience all around.

    I hadn’t been in a couple of years, but Society was at one point one of my favorite places for drinks and to meet up with friends, so I was thrilled to bring a friend traveling from out of town. Firstly, it took nearly 5 minutes to be seated for the reservation as no one was at the front seating people. Our food came with no flatware, the chicken was dry, the Mac & cheese was greasy and the drink was the best thing on the menu. The music was so unnecessarily loud I had to lean in to hear my friend talking most of the night. The waiter did their best to make up for the situation, but I was already disappointed with the decline in service, food quality and ambiance. Lastly, there’s a lounge upstairs that charges a cover and a woman trying to sneak past security by leaving the restaurant to avoid paying the cover was an unpleasant experience to witness. I’m likely not going back.
