The food was good the service was awful. We had a very friendly server who kept disappearing. We finally had to ask a server from an adjacent restaurant for help which she happily supplied. When I asked the server where he went he said he was busy polishing the cutlery & folding napkins. A 5% tip was even too much.View more

Excellent, from start to finish. The courtyard is delightful on a late summer evening. The food is amazing; we had oysters, carpaccio, burger, & charcuterie. Nothing but good things to say about it all. Service was welcoming & professional. Social has been on our "let's go sometime" list for a while. Glad we finally did!View more

Social is easily one of the best restaurants in Ottawa! Each time we come, the food is mouthwatering, the atmosphere is great, & the servers are all so lovely. If you ever get the chance, I strongly encourage you to do one of their set menus (we did it for New Years Eve). Also - the smoked duck pastrami is probably the best dish we’ve ever tasted. A must visit!View more

Where do I even start?!?

I was asked by my best friend to coordinate her wedding reception ( smaller, intimate dinner) post ceremony with family & close friends. When I reached out to Brian, the events coordinator, he was prompt to respond, clear in communication, accommodating to requests & adjustments the bride & groom had & overall an absolute delight to plan with. As I am located out of provinces he made the planning seamless & easy for me, & I am so appreciative of that.

Fast forward to the night of the event... Brian & his team greeted me & a few bridal party gals with open arms & cocktails at hand as we decorated & set the private doing room for our gathering.

The staff were friendly, organized & upbeat. Krista was in charge of our party, & she took care of every single guest as if we were family.

The bartender Joe was phenomenal. His cocktails are our of this world. He also was extremely friendly & upbeat the entire evening.

The food was delicious. Every single serving that came out was the exact same, delicious & delightful to look at. We were a group of 28 total & everything was absolutely perfect. Dietary restrictions were managed with care & discussed prior.

The steak was perfectly cooked, the chicken was moist, the pasta was fresh & unique, the salmon was delicious & had a great presentation.

Desserts barely hot the table before the disappeared.

On behalf of the bride & groom, their friends & family I would like to thank Brian & his team at The social for making the evening seamless & unforgettable.

🙏 Thank youView more
