The Hampton Social - Orlando

We came here for a quick happy hour and so glad we did. The drinks were done to perfection and our truffle fries were da bomb. Best of all, our bartender was super friendly and personable that he made our happy hour even happier. Thanks Ty! We will have to come back here and try out the full menu another year.

We dined in at the Hampton Social for lunch. We arrived early to the restaurant before they even opened. They open at 1130am and a small group of about 30 pf us had been waiting. We were allowed to enter the restaurant at 11:36pm. We waited and checked in and advised the woman working at the hostess stand that we had a reservation and she took that info or so we thought. After almost twenty minutes we realized almost everyone had been seated except us so I inquiried about being seated. The hostess then got an attitude with me and rolled her eyes not once, but twice and then said I will seat you and then turned back around. Keeping in mind I came in at the same time as eveeyone else who was seated.So the rude hostess seats us after another five minutes. Then we wait another 20 minutes before someone from the bar asks us if we want water. So, he was nice, we placed an order for water and oysters which I asked if they had a lot of brine which he said yes. We were taken back by the the fact that the rest of our order wasn't taken. So anyhow the order for the oyster took about 25 minutes to come out and the oysters were in fact not bring at all. They actually had no flavor to them, no finish, nothing. So at this point we are wondering who is our waiter and when will we be able to order our actual food and drinks. We sat in the restaurant almost 45 minutes before an actual waitress came to our table to take our actual orders.So, the food comes out and the salad is huge which is usually a plus. The salad looks great and I added lobster to it. I dig in and to my avail it has no real flavor. It's got a copious amount of green goddess dressing, cucumber, avacado, boiled eggs and what looked like cilantro. Everything had the same bland flavor and nothing stood out. The lobster wasn't even seasoned.My husband got the fish sandwich and side salad which he only ate half of because the fish and bread was soggy when he got it. It was described as being a piece of floppy fried fish with poorly fried batter that had no crispyness and the sandwich itself was drowning in mayo sauce.The frosé was just ok. It was served in a small cup and for almost 20$ after the added 18% bar tip it just wasn't doing much for me. I wouldn't advise getting it.The unsweetened spiced mango black tea was the only thing I liked of the who entire meal. I absolutely understand peope come here for vibes and a good time, that's why I wanted to come here. This was a horrible experience! There were no vibes, there wasno music even playing until 1 hr after the restaurant was open. We never saw our waitress again and we had to flag down the manager to get the bill so we could pay after we were waiting for 20 more minutes. We spent 2 hours in this restaurant which was not even full or even busy waiting and waiting and waiting. The service was so slow and there were atleast 8 servers, but all they seemed to be doing was walking around. Even the table next to us had to flag someone down so they could get their check.So, there is a forced 18% tip and we had terrible service. You have to pay to park in the parking garage which is not validated also. I would not recommend this restaurant. The lunch menu is also very small.*paid parking with no validation at the Orlando Pointe garage or valet.

We had high hopes for The Hampton Social while celebrating my daughter's 16th birthday, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to expectations.We started with the Crab-Shrimp Bruschetta, which tasted more like an elevated tuna salad on basic bread--nothing special. The Bang Bang Chicken had good flavor but was tough and overcooked. For my entrée, I ordered the steak and swapped the sides, only to find out I was charged separately for the mac and cheese and sweet plantains instead of a simple substitution. The mac and cheese was undercooked and lacked flavor, while the steak itself was decent. My partner's salmon was disappointing--the overly sweet sauce completely overpowered the fish. The one bright spot was my son's smash burger, which he really enjoyed.The atmosphere was nice, but the music was too loud, and seating for a larger group in a quieter area was limited. The staff was friendly and helped with payment issues, but the machine charged an extra fee, which made splitting the bill among nine teenagers frustrating.Overall, it felt more like a tourist spot than a place locals would return to. It was an experience, but I don't think we'll be back.

The Hampton Social offers a trendy, coastal-inspired atmosphere with a lively ambiance, making it a popular spot for brunch, cocktails, and social gatherings. However, despite its aesthetically pleasing décor and well-crafted menu, several factors diminish the overall experience.First, the pricing and drinks are notably high and the food menu is limited. Additionally, an automatic 18% service charge is applied not only to table service but also at the bar separately from the tip, which may come as a surprise to guests who prefer to tip based on service quality.Another major drawback is the lack of parking validation. Given the location, guests should be prepared for parking fees. Furthermore, despite having a reservation, there was a 20-minute wait before being seated. Overall, while The Hampton Social delivers in terms of aesthetics and atmosphere, the high prices and mandatory service charge may leave guests feeling underwhelmed. Those planning a visit should be aware of these factors to set the right expectations.

My husband and I went to the Hampton social for brunch recently and everything was a 10/10! We sat outside on the couches and the weather and ambience was perfect! There was live music and it truly felt like we stepped into vacation! Our server was Caleb and he was amazing, conversational and knowledgeable of the menu. I ordered the lobster roll and my husband ordered the fried Cod sandwich, we also shared the truffle fries and both ordered a cocktail! I've been bragging all weekend about the food and how great it all was!

Lobster roll was ok. Not worth $40. Servers were nice, but the guy told me it was a $2 up charge for a salad and it ended up being $5. When I brought it up they apologized but couldn't fix the issue. Interior was fun.

I loved the decor as you walk in. It set the tone for the dining vibe. We ordered a few drinks which were refreshing, my favorite being the Frosé. We then opted for a few appetizers, calamari and tuna tartare. The calamari was tender and battered perfectly while the tuna tartare was my favorite with the with the taro chips. For entrees, between the salmon dish, chicken sandwiches and salads, I actually loved the flavors and crispness of the salad. It was delicious. Although menu items are a bit on the pricier side, this is located at Pointe Orlando and in the heart of the tourist/convention area so it's a given you would be paying more. Service was good, just keep in mind gratuities are already added and the restaurant will not validate your parking ticket FYI

Came here for brunch with friends and was pleasantly surprised and delighted by how good the meal was. I had low expectations considering I was in such a touristy area. we shared a mimosa kit and the fresh oysters to start, and I ordered the chicken stack for my meal. The oysters came as a selection that included East and west coast- I preferred the west coast ones because they had a salty flavor vs East coast that had a sweet after taste. The fried chicken stack I ordered was a breaded chicken breast with a side of mash, a sunny egg and a piece of French toast...all my favorite sweet and savory things in one. There wasn't a crumb left when I was done. Prices were on the higher end for our meal but it's to be expected in Orlando. I would definitely return if I am back in the area.

Located at the point, you have to park in a parking garage or do valet, which can be complicated but the Hampton social does validate parkingWhen it comes to food, my all-time favorite is their bang bang chicken appetizer love it. The chicken's always fully cooked this specific time. We tried a few different dishes the chicken sandwich which was cooked very well. The bun was soft and the fish tacos. Very delicious. They do have DJs in live music throughout the week and the service is always amazing because it's rather large restaurant and they're able to service large parties.

Great food and service. The server, Freddy was very nice and the manager Alec checked on us and other tables. Food came out quick and when my daughter didn't like the mac&cheese they accommodated us quickly by replacing her food with a different dish.
