I got a side of Mac & Cheese from here, it was breaded and pretty heavy for a side dish but still tasty so I would recommend it. The roof top dinning and bar are so pretty along with the main floor seating too, its just well decorated and has a good ambiance. However when on the the rooftop the hostess/bar tender was really rude and just had an over all attitude toward my friends and I while we were there. I asked around though to see if maybe I was over analyzing it but some buddies of mine said that their hostess on a different night was also rude and unwelcoming. SO that on top of the bartender improperly making my friends cosmo (which Im not sure how you mess up, but my friend couldnt even finish it cause it was so bad) makes me really disappointed because it does LOOK like a lovely place to sit back, relax and be at.

Excelente local, con barra de bar y un ambiente más informal enl comedor. La comida absolutamente deliciosa para los paladares hispanos: las coles de Bruselas crujientes son sorprendentes; los tomates verdes fritos, picantes y muy agradables; y la pechuga de pollo con crujiente yukón de patatas y espárragos es jugosa y con un sabor increíble. Las cervezas de Míchigan (Two Hearted, Shift Pale Lager) son un descubrimiento.

We went here recently for my mother-in-laws birthday. The experience started out fine - our drinks and appetizers were brought out promptly, and were good. However, it then took an hour after our appetizers arrived for our server to come tell us our entrees would be taking a bit longer. Thirty minutes after that, our entrees arrived staggered. For the prices we were paying, this to me was unacceptable. We were offered a complementary cookie jar dessert for apologies - the only thing is, half of the party had notified the server and manager who came to apologize that they required gluten-free options. All in all, food was average. Service and/or kitchen, while apologetic and aware of the issues, made the experience a negative one. Not worth the money nor the three hour experience.

Great food but the service is unattentive to say the best. Took 5 minutes to get menus then another 10 minutes before asking what drinks we wanted; then when I tried to pay with card we had to go out of our way to get our servers attention. The bus boy was more attentive to our requests than our server. The food was great though, would eat here again just for the food. I want to give 3 stars but the service was just that bad. One of the locals we met said that its common to have servers play favoritism or just ignore their sections to talk with friends.

I met a group of people for lunch, their menu is short, but had a great variety and really amazing taste and quality. The BLT is tasty, but maybe a tad small for some appetites. The staff is great! Our server was friendly, attentive, and was fine with us having a long lunch. They have a great selection of beer, spirits and wines. The server also told me the restaurant has a good relationship with AXEL Brewing, out of Royal Oak, MI, and they have even collaborated on brews. This place has a modern industrial feel on the inside, its very comfortable.

NOT GOOD. Social Kitchen is overhyped. The service here was atrocious. Dont expect to get your drink or food in anything close to a timely manner. I use the singular "drink" because you will not get another or a water refill. The place wasnt even that busy! Consider wearing a shower cap here as bussers wiping down nearby tables have terrible aim and will spray you with their cleaning fluid. The food is really overpriced and not that great - very meh. The atmosphere is nice, but not nice enough to make me ever want to return.

Was in for Brunch today and the food, atmosphere and Service could not have been better. The wait staff were very attentive with never leaving us unattended. Food came relatively fast, dishes were cleared fast and because mac and cheese was late, charge was taken off the bill. Only complaint was that the entrees were more room temperature when they did come, but I am sure they can work on that aspect also. Definitely will be back - food selection fabulous!

Terrible service at Sunday Brunch. Took over a hour to receive meal, each meal served apps 10 minutes apart. Wait staff person, Ben did not update us on meal status Had to seek another staff for assistance. Requested to talk to manager, who did not show. Ben was offered apologies when presenting bill, stated it was kitchen help, Only time we saw Ben was at tip time. Now, I will continue great a.m meals at CommonWealth, just around the conner from Social.

Skillets are great. Love that you can choose all the ingredients you want for $12 and it was all fresh/yummy. Menu is miniscule and overpriced. Drink/beers are overpriced. Bloody Mary bar is overpriced and the ingredients/mixes were not good. I know how to make a mean Bloody Mary and the one I made here was not impressive! Probably wont come back, it was a one hit wonder for us in snooty-ville.

The food was not good. The service was amazing. The style different but bold (In a good way). I sat outside during summer and pollen kept flying into my face!!! D: They should have put a fan or something out there. The fact that they didnt see that problem and served bad food tells me they didnt: put a lot of thought in to the company; and dont care about the customers as much as they should.

I was so impressed by this place. Ambiance, service, setting were all pleasantly on point, but the food.... So many imaginative dishes that were incredibly good! I try something new each time I go back. Social has the best Brunch menu that Ive ever seen. Not that its over-the-top, just everything on it that Ive tried so far is just awesome!!! This is one of my new favorites places.

We waited for at least an hour then they placed us outside by ourself in the cold. When we asked them to place us inside, they said nothing was available. I looked inside and I saw many people coming after us and they place them inside and they got their food before us. We waited about an hour and a half for them to finally be served. If I can give this place no stars I would.

Tries very hard to be "edgy", but everything is not cohesive enough to come across genuinely. Dont get me wrong, food is okay, not great, but okay. Fries have a huge portion and are pretty good. The other items we got were fairly overpriced for what you get. The menu options are a strange combination of American and Mediterranean. Overall, wouldnt recommend.

Went on a double date, seated promptly. Had the mussels first - delish Then went on a bit of a appy spree, the brussel sprouts were tasty. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable, even told us not to get something (not his favorite item) and helped us select drinks, get the strawberry/rosemary one if you have the chance to make it to this sweet spot.

The resturant looks nice but the service was horrible. I asked to speak to the manager and the staff treated me like I was not important enough to speak with a manager. The server told me he was offended I did not like the service. If you want to spend a pretty penny for lunch this is your place for lunch but the service will be horrible at best.
