socials concept is nice. i like the well designed menus and at a glance, there were lots of things to choose from... however...
the lighting in there is very bright. awkwardly bright. and something about how its painted made me feel like i was in a cafeteria. i'm a young 20-something that eats at modern restaurants all the time but this place didn't execute to it right. it feels stark, like i'm sitting in a garage almost. tables were too close together (guy behind me and my head were basically touching), host and waitress were both passively nice in a weird way, and there was not a young crowd here. actually surprised because it was a lot of families and older folks - totally fine - just not what i expected at all.
food was not good. i had a salad that i almost sent back. too much dressing, butter lettuce on a caesar (so weird), and the dressing didn't taste "truffled" as the menu suggested, it actually tasted really generic and not very caesar at all. my friend got a sandwhich that did not have much meat. we were disappointed.
honestly, i think things could be improved here and i'd try it again. they have the typical daily specials like sister-restaurant shady grove, but at this point, i'll stick with the original.
