| - Five stars because I didn't actually want to go in, but left glad that I did. I was in a bad mood and was set on going somewhere else, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle when my fiance insisted. Its close proximity to the parking elevators and a large sign advertising a "Social Hour" were convincing as well.
Once inside, I was mildly impressed by the decor, which was a lot of clean-lined tile and dark wood. While I thought it was nice, we elected to sit outside. There was a lot of patio space, but not much has been done with it yet. Since the restaurant had only been open for two weeks, I am curious to see its transformation.
Our waitress was very nice and seemed genuinely interested in making us comfortable. Everything was brought in a very timely manner. I had the house white wine, which was on Social Hour, was brought very quickly, and was very good. I saw that they had quite a few Goose Island beers on draft and several interesting cocktails, which I will have to come back for sometime. We ordered the Ahi Tuna Stack, the Brie & Fig Flatbread, and the Pulled-Pork Sliders. She told us we ordered the best things on the menu and by God she might have been right
. The Tuna Stack was incredible and probably my favorite. Tuna, avocado, mango..... I actually asked for more wontons because it was so good. The brie & fig flatbread was crispy for our entire meal and large enough for both of us to share. My fiance's pulled pork sliders were well-portioned (four sliders) and flavorful. The man orders sliders at pretty much every restaurant we've ever stepped foot in, so this is high praise. I even had leftovers, which is pretty neat for a happy/social hour special.
We escaped paying less than $40 for the two of us and thoroughly enjoyed our food and time. Social exceeded our expectations and left me wanting more! Can't wait to go back!
