This place is swanky, I'm talkin' like Ritz crackers with caviar, slick pomaded hair and bugle beaded flapper dress kind of swanky. Yes indeedy, La Societe's big ticket is ambiance with a capital A. The ceiling is pimped-out with Tiffany-like stained glass and the floors intricate tiled, while handsome crisp shirted waitstaff and a charming maitre D' gracefully dart around to hobnob and ensure that diners are treated to an excellent visit.
I was here to treat hubby to a celebretory lunch and actually breathed a sigh of relief when I learned that Winterlicious was in effect here so I ended up scoring the $20 lunch while hubby got treated to Moules et frites, what a lucky fella! As usual hubby mowed down on his meal like a Dyson vacuum in high extraction mode...
My $20 Winterlicious lunch of 3 courses which consisted of Beets and greens salad/ Spinach Quiche with endives/ and Cookies 'n' Hot Choc dessert was child sized...but I have a child sized appetite so I guess it worked out? I will say it was very savoury and the hot chocolate was rather fatty so it was a calories vs. quantity kinda meal.
I'm a big fan of the fancy facilities at La Societe, if you like to flush with style it doesn't get classier than having Deco-era Vogue cover illustrations by Benito framed and hanging next to you while you're doing the do @ the lieu.
If you want to indulge your inner high maintenance flapper then then by all means La Societe is the proverbial Bees Knees!
