| - Occupying the spot previously known as Pizza Lounge, Social joins the ranks of restaurants that try, or have tried, to succeed in Tivoli. Walking in during happy hour one day not too long ago and the place was empty, except for a couple seated in a corner of the dining room. We only tried a few dishes, but left somewhat underwhelmed. First the good... the kale salad was amazing. I typically don't like kale and refuse to jump on that bandwagon, but the lemon dressing with olives, almonds, goat cheese and avocado made for some dynamic flavors. The ahi tuna stack was quite the opposite. The orange wedges and mango dominated the flavors, drowning out mediocre quality tuna. The cheese plate needed more variety. All three types of cheeses were of the hard variety and accompanied by crackers, almonds, grapes and honey that seemed like an afterthought.
The service at the bar was good, but then again the place was almost empty. There are some happy hour drink specials and a handful of food specials that are half off -- the ahi tuna stack, pork sliders, and flatbreads.
