Social Restaurant & Bar

Came in with a friend on the Friday night of Labor Day weekend, we needed dinner and drinks and she had been here once before (my first time). While 7pm on a Friday in Newton Corner can sometimes be crazy, we parked right out front but they have free parking in the garage if you need it.We sat at the bar (always fun and better people-watching!), I don't know the bartender's name but she had dark blonde/brown hair in a ponytail and glasses, she was very nice and had our great drinks ready right away. We both ordered cheeseburgers and the fries were AMAZING (herbs with butter, I think???). While my burger wasn't the medium-well that I ordered, it was so juicy and delicious that I didn't mind the pink at all (obviously, due to my empty plate).People came in and out all night, both from the street as well as the connected hotel. Great crowd, food and staff here so I will definitely be back!

Came in around 1130 on a Thursday- place looked close, no staff and no lights on. It was open... manager and 1 waitstaff. Could not order drinks (no bartender) also 1/2 of the items on the menu were not available. Why are you open then!?? Open when you have food, drink, waitstaff and electricity. Place is a dump. Go across to Buffs pub!!! Best food, staff, cold unlimited drink menu and the lights were on!!!

I went in during dinner to order takeout, and decided on the clam chowder. Both the bartender and waiter taking my order were friendly. It took some time to prepare, waited at least 15 minutes at the bar.I was pretty disappointed in the portion for the cost. It costs $18 for a cup of soup not filled to the top. The soup was broth with 3 clams on shell, barely any potatoes. They should be ashamed of themselves for charging $18 for this soup and two slices of grilled bread.

Good times and food. My veggie burger was great- veggie patty was tasty and unique with eggplant!! My friends enjoyed their fish tacos. Drink list was entirely respectable. Kyle on service was friendly and prompt, and indulged us with a nice slice of red velvet cake to celebrate my friend's birthday. Lively ambience. Solid fine.

I spent almost two weeks at the hotel connected to this restaurant. I would try other places in the area, but I kept coming back here, because the service was always great. It's a cool spot with tasty drinks made by Charlie (a great bartender). I also ate here several times and the food was always delicious. It has the ambiance of a really nice casual atmosphere. I do recommend stopping in if you are in or around Newton, Mass.

Amazing food their burgers and staff were really friendly, me and my mom will be coming here many more times!

My company had a happy hour event for 90 guests on a Thursday afternoon. Bill was so responsive and helpful during the planning of the event including special dietary restriction requests. He was able to execute everything that I had asked for from drinks to food!His team gave great service! Our appetizer buffet was presented well and the food was delicious! His team made sure the buffet was filled in frequently. We wish the location were closer to our offices!

We LOVE you Melissa!!! We had an amazing server and my truffle mac n cheese was delicious and hot.

Food is good, if a bit overpriced (about standard for a bar/restaurant attached to a hotel at this bracket). [Edit: The atmosphere is *exceptional* (five stars). The food is *very* good, and is not overpriced beyond what is standard for venues of this type (venues of this kind with a hotel association, etc, tend to be very expensive when compared to otherwise similar venues). I did not intend to infer otherwise. The service (aside from the altercation) was good, and the bartender we were dealing with was considerate enough to offer an apology though we find no fault with him. The rest of the staff was a delight, and very positive. The team went out of their way at the beginning of the evening to make sure my group had a good amount of space and special consideration. The interaction below was only with the owner of the venue.]I was hosting a social event on 5/4 with my group. It was a light costume event, and one of my customers - a young woman in her mid-twenties - was approached by a man in his late fifties to early sixties. He told her that she and the rest of my group were d*vil worshipers and s*tanists, and deserved to d*e or go to h*ll. After this was brought to my attention, I approached the man and convinced him to leave the group alone. He was *severely* intoxicated, but we spoke calmly. In the middle of this, the male bartender started shouting at me to stop speaking with him, and before I could even respond to the bartender, another man (I later found out was the owner), physically pushed me back. The other man was escorted out of the bar. The owner told me that he had to make sure the other man was safe (they made no effort to provide the same assurance of safety to the young woman that was part of my group.)My group was hosting this event at the bar as a sort of litmus test to see if we would return for future events. This unfortunate situation took place at about 12:45 AM - 15 minutes before the venue closed. It is only Monday the 6th, but I have not heard from the bar and my group - including the young woman directly affected - was not given an apology or any additional consideration. I am deeply disappointed.My group will not be returning until I and my customer receive an apology for the unwarranted physical contact from the owner, and the preferential treatment the abusive man received over myself and my customer. I am very open to amending this review (and others) if this situation is resolved.

Very good bar food, and friendly staff. I would generally not expect much from a restaurant attached to the hotel, but this place delivers.
