SOCIAL Costa Mesa

I forgot to take a photo of the Amazingly tasty burger with "bacon jam" perfectly cooked-bottomless mimosa with Champagne~ guava, orange and pineapple juices, I ordered the Tastiest chilaquilas I've Ever had and then a birthday treat for my friend, churroos and ice cream🥳🥳🥳

So we walked in, not busy on a Friday night, hostess was not friendly, we had to ask if we could sit, waiter came. Would you like a drink, sure, 15 minutes later he brought my friends drink, 10 minutes later I had to ask twice, hey is the vodka soda ready? 5 minutes later he brought it, whole time im watching the bartender, who was not busy talking to two guys non stop! Then we ask, do you have a happy hour menu, oh yeah let me go get it, so we go to order the Burger on the happy hour menu, its the same name and discription as one on regular menu, but 5 bucks cheaper, normal right for a happy hour? He said oh no it only has one patty vs 5 bucks more you get the second patty, you think you'd change the name or make sure thats known. Ok, so we get our food, its OK, I'll give you that was the ok. Then he offers us a desert menu, I see bread pudding, now mind you bread pudding is warm, has whipped cream and is a normal pie size pcs, he brings out this small sq, stone cold, it was horrible, he never asks once, or checks if we are happy etc... except, hey want another drink, I bit, 20 minutes later lol so bottomline I dont recommend.

Stopped in at Social in Costa Mesa while spending a weekend down in Orange County, and I’m so glad we did. I’d heard great things from friends, and this place definitely didn’t disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was spot-on, and the service was just as good. It wasn’t too busy when we arrived—probably because it’s Christmas season and everyone’s out shopping—so we got in right before the lunch crowd. I heard it was packed the night before, and I can see why. Everything we tried was top-notch.

Everyone enjoyed the food. Ashley was very hospitable and made us feel special and welcomed. I really like the upscale but casual decor. Not overdone. Feels like a nice date atmosphere.

Heard about this place from a friend and had the pleasure of visiting during the weekend. Of course we had to try their mimosas and brunch menu! Food was amazing, and drinks were also delicious. Our server was attentive, overall everything was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.
