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!
