I mentioned in my reservation that we were coming for a birthday, and they surprised us with 1) a happy birthday message printed on the menu, 2) a welcome birthday toast and 3) a birthday dessert. They were also highly accommodating to our 10-year-old, adjusting a simple buttered pappardelle that she went crazy for. Start to finish, cocktails to dessert, the food was outstanding and the service was just as great.

Absolutely amazing dinner at the Hampton Social!! Beautiful restaurant and also great views of the city and the bridge. Service was fast and friendly. They even bought us champagne for our anniversary. As for the food - the shrimp and crab bruschetta is a must have. Oysters were delicious and the burger is one of the best we’ve ever had. For dessert, the banana foster on a chocolate chip waffle is worth every calorie. Just get it! We cannot wait to come back and try the brunch!
