Incredible service from start to finish. We were there to celebrate our anniversary, so our seating was upgraded when we arrived without us even asking. We were also offered complimentary champagne by our waiter, who was extremely knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. Everything we had tasted delicious and the espresso martini was spot on. Possibly the best dining experience I've ever had.

My husband and I did a date night and had been wanting to try The Hampton Social. The ambience was very quaint, seating was intimate. Loved all the chairs and couches that served as seating, very classy. Ordered drinks, an appetizer, main entree and dessert, all were great! Service was good as well. Would definitely recommend!
