Opened in the summer of 1999, SOCIAL was received as the perfect blend of restaurant and bar.

Known in the capital city for its ambiant and modern vibe, fifteen-foot ceilings, its secluded and beautiful courtyard patio, and gorgeous stone walls inside + out-- SOCIAL offers an unparalleled atmosphere for a sit-down dinner or some after-work cocktails. Guests can expect high-quality professional service and a menu to match, proving that SOCIAL is truly a downtown destination that has it all.Come enjoy the culinary experience given by our Head Chef Peter Schulz and his team.

    It was very nice! The quantity of the food even made me upset…cause it wasn’t usual to get that much food for that price in Ottawa. The service was really good and sensitive to us🥰.

    Food was amazing, as usual. We had 8 of the 10 dishes on the menu with 2 desserts shared between the 4 of us. We left feeling pleasantly satisfied. Unfortunately I've forgotten our servers name, but he was great! Divided our dishes up in to courses so our table never felt crowded. Did an excellent job of answering all of our questions and describing all the food and drinks brought to the table. Over a great experience. High level of quality and execution, in a more relaxed and cozy environment.

    Good food and good service. As the evening progressed, the noise level was really intense so not a great date night place when you want to talk. The food was tastefully prepared and served and overall was a pleasant experience. I would return but perhaps not for a date night when you are getting to know the other person.

    We requested a booth on the reservation and they didnt reserve one at first but then were able to accomodate us. The server was great, very friendly and quick. The food and drinks were delicious. Ambience is perfect for all occasions. Only note the prime rib cut was very fatty, and it took 3 ladies at the front to issue me a single gift card… more training i think is needed.
