| - I feel like this place is a solid 3.5 stars, but since nothing really jumped out and made me want to round up I'm going with 3. This is another Amp'd restaurant (Ten Penny, Steel Cactus, Local) and this very much fits in with the rest of their portfolio. In my opinion, they always absolutely nail the atmosphere and Social House 7 does not disappoint in that aspect! It's totally beautiful inside. I was kind of blown away at first - you walk in over a koi tank and when you enter the actual restaurant it's Asian-inspired and swanky. Totally stunning.
I was with a group of girls and our server explained that the menu was sort of an Asian Tapas style, which lends itself well to lots of sharing. I would never come here with my boyfriend... as he's not down with that :) but the style of this place makes it perfect for a girls night. We decided to go with some sushi, a bunch of appetizers, and some robata. Everything was okay, but nothing was super memorable one way or another. I was expecting to be blown away by the food but wasn't in love with anything that I tried.
We all tried the drink on special, which involved Midori and dry ice. The drink itself isn't something I would order more than one of - it was pretty sweet - but having one was totally enjoyable and the presentation was awesome.
Would I go back? Yes! I would really like to go back with some girlfriends and explore more menu items. Also, I want to make a later reservation and stick around, as the place turns into a club after a certain point. We didn't get to stay as we had other plans.
All in all, my experience at Social House 7 was pretty good but I definitely think it has all the potential in the world! I'll definitely check it out again.
