Enjoyed being outside on the patio under umbrellas. Downsides: when the sun started to set and it got windy, there were no heaters or blankets available. The tables are coffee table height so it’s not a surface you want to bend over for long periods for eating.nnFood choices were excellent and prices to be expected. I found the poke bowl to have a beautiful presentation and array of items in the bowl, however there was too much sauce as it was very salty. Everything looked fresh and beautiful.nnVery friendly server who talked to us very naturally and socially.
We ordered the sushi tacos, chicken kaarage baos, trio shrimp ravioli, truffle fries, and chicken sando. I thought the food was mediocre. It sort of tasted like something from the freezer section. Each dish had a strange combination of flavors, and meat was dry and tough. My favorite was the shrimp ravioli. The sandwich buns were soaked from the coleslaw dressing. A very disappointing food experience. The server was friendly and attentive.
I booked in advance for a patio seating during a sunny day for Happy Hour. When I arrived, the hostess put me in a spot where the sun was literally shining on your face. As much as I love the sun, I didn't want to potentially get a sunburn, so I asked if I could switch spot. However, she said other empty tables & booths have been reserved by other people. I am pretty sure when you made reservation, there wasn't an option as to which table you want to sit so I am surprised she wasn't being flexible. When asked if I could at least turned my chair the other way, she said unfortunately no, due to the spacing perhaps the waitress might not have enough space to walk around? but I was very certain, there would still have space.nnLuckily, another server at the patio was very understanding and helped us asked the hostess again and finally we were able to move to another table before the food arrive. *Note: one of the empty tables was empty the whole time, she could have easily switch me at the beginning.nnThe food was pretty good for Happy Hour, I would say the price is a bit expensive. We ordered Ahi Tuna Sushi Taco, Taco with braised beef, Chicken Karaage Bao, Ravioli Prawn Trio, Chicken Wings & Social Dumplings. The highlights were: Ahi Tuna Sushi Taco, Ravioli and Chicken Wings. I would stay away from the dumplings. They felt like Costco dumplings.nnThe ambience was very chic and cute.
I came here on Sunday morning with my parents who were visiting from out of town. It was surprisingly not busy at peak brunch hour especially given how delicious the food was, and how incredible the service was, plus great atmosphere!nnWe ordered the Eggs Benny with Ham, Social Hash, Social Breakfast and my mom and I each had the Peach Social Pup. All three were fantastic! Definitely the best brunch I’ve had in recent memory. Oh and my stepdad was incredibly pleased with the coffee, and he knows a lot about good vs bad coffee more than I do anywaynnThe were two servers helping us, I believe one was named Nomi, and both were very good. We were already very pleased with our service when I accidentally got bright yellow egg yolk on my white hoodie fully my fault, I am clumsy which was briefly heartbreaking but our server was quick to bring us a clean cloth and soda water and I’m happy to report it did not stain! At all!nnIt was a really wonderful way to catch up with my parents.
If you are looking for the best cocktails in Vancouver - look no further. This is the best cocktail bar I have been to in Vancouver, and I am comparing to Europe. Eric, the bartender, was so amazing and skillful that we ditched the table and stayed at the bar. Food was sooooo good. Very gastro and exceptionally balanced. I cannot recommend it higher. Please ask Eric for a cocktail - you will not be disappointed. I will be back many many times
