Social has been mine and my husband's go-to spot for a couple years now - still never disappoints! They recently just revamped the interior to a beautiful coastal modern style along with a new menu of delicious items.Service is always 10/10. Friendly, welcoming, attentive and accommodating. There's plenty of seating inside, our favorite is the bar top to chat with their amazing and talented bartenders!Lots of great cocktails to choose from, Big Fig Energy, Sorry not sorry, carajillo, espresso martini. Food is delicious as well. Drive thru burger, Cubano, Baja striped Bass and steak frites are 10/10. They also have all night happy hour on Wednesdays!Overall a great spot to dine at and socialize with good company!

Friday Happy Hour Chill Vibes! Happy hour is offered in the entire restaurant. But there wasn't a soul anywhere but a few people at the bar. A few more people started to come in as happy hour came to an end sitting at the bar and restaurant area. Friendly bar staff! HH Croquettes: small portion but that smoked chicken. Chefs kiss! Not sure what I was expecting but it was really good! 5/5House Fries: nice and crispy! Garlic aioli more garlic than aioli but I loved it. Just need some gum afterwards! Drinks were good! Will be back!

Came here for a friends birthday brunch. They accommodated us pretty well as we were a bigger group. Service was pretty good and the food was okay but nothing spectacular. We got there when they opened so it was a bit empty but it got busier later but it still wasn't too pouch which was nice. Pretty good brunch spot overall.

Came here for a random Thursday dinner and was pleasantly surprised to find out that there was live music every Thursday from 6 PM - 9 PM. Blake Harper was handing the live music, and he is amazing! On to the food and drinks - we ordered:-Steak frites: steak cooked to medium rare paired with a brown/peppery sauce. The steak comes with a salad and fries. ($41)- Crab cake: comes with one crab cake piled on top of broccolini. A bit pricey for what it is, but it's filled with crab. ($26).- Spanish octopus: this was our favorite of the night! The octopus had a nice charred and was incredibly tender. The sauces/beans complimented the octopus very well. ($25)- Sorry, not sorry cocktail: Tastes like a smokey old fashion - this drink had tequila, mezcal, cynar, creme de cacao, and bitters. ($17)Service was attentive and friendly, giving you enough privacy in between. Overall, this is a great place to check out if you want a craft cocktail and listen to live music (on Thursday). The food is okay for what it is in terms of pricing/portions.

I came here on a Saturday night for dinner with some girlfriends. I've passed by this place before and was looking forward to finally trying it. The inside is cute with some nautical decor and a few TVs by the bar. The service was very attentive with my water glass getting refilled and plates being cleared. I ordered wine and the jidori chicken. The entree came with some (what I think was) acorn squash, broccoli, and mashed potatoes with the chicken. The vegetables were are nicely seasoned. The chicken was also good and tender but not as flavorful. I'd love to come back again and try some of their other dishes. The menu is on the smaller side with a few starters, handhelds, and entrees.

Stopped by for brunch because this restaurant was recommended to me by a friend who loves the dinner menu here, and the brunch was delicious! A little more on the pricier side but each dish we ordered was unique and tasty! Social Benedict is composed of: Pulled Pork, Buttermilk Biscuit, Slow Egg, Creole Mustard Hollandaise = SO good, the pulled pork was savory and the biscuit wasn't soggy from the hollandaise sauce, which I did not expect and loved how everything went together. Chicken and waffles is composed of: Belgium Waffle, Fried Chicken, Maple Syrup, That Stuff Hot Sauce - the waffle is made from corn flour (I think) and tasted so different from the usual waffles you order at other restaurants! And the fried chicken was cooked in a hot sauce that was pretty spicy but was delicious.

This location is a real OC gem. I came to have dinner here with my girlfriend and it was so delicious. We are both foodies, love to try new foods and the waitress was so knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance in there was chill. Love the set up. We had crab cakes for starters, octopus, Brussels sprouts, croquettes. The lobster and Dungeness crab cakes were a hit for us. I believe they just got their old chef back and he came out with an amazing menu. We were both excited to try it. The staff was attentive from beginning to end. I'm looking forward to coming back for brunch.

Came here on a Friday night for drinks. The place was still pretty packed around 10pm. My friend and I were lucky to have Gabe as our staff. He was so nice and very transparent on drink suggestions. I had the Big Fig Energy but substituted the gin for bourbon. That was a recommendation from Gabe. So glad he suggested that because it was delicious! We also tried Sorry, Not Sorry and it was served on a wooden board with a mezcal shot. Great presentation. Sorry, Not Sorry was the star. Really well mixed and boozy. Gabe was so sweet and friendly and took such good care of us. He made Social a memorable experience and I can't wait to come back!
