| - Had an amazing time at Eastside Social last night with my fiancé. We were walking down Queen East and happened to stumble upon the restaurant and went in on a whim.
The servers were very busy when we arrived, so we didn't get greeted or sat immediately. To be honest, we didn't really notice or mind and we've both worked in the restaurant industry, so we completely understood. They were very apologetic and accommodating. The gentleman who hosted us showed us the great back patio, but we ended up sitting inside. He let us sit at a four top even though there was only the two of us. Our server, a different guy, was also super nice, as well. Very friendly and charming, knew the menu very well, had great recommendations. We were incredibly impressed by the service we received. It's hard to find a place that has this sort of hospitality nowadays!
Food-wise we had skate schnitzel, which came highly recommended by our server. Holy smokes was it ever delicious. The side potato salad was the best I've had. We also ordered devilled eggs and I had the "Salty Dog" cocktail. Everything was above and beyond what we'd expected. We'll definitely be back!
UPDATE:
We loved Eastside Social so much, that we actually had our wedding dinner there in September 2015! It was very small and casual - we simply made a reservation and left it at that. It was low-key and top notch quality. :)
