“Social Eatery & Bar offers unforgettable globally inspired food in a unique indoor/outdoor setting with an exceptional style that is refined yet casual and invites spontaneity. Old World charm kisses New World sophistication. Eat. Drink. Be Social.”

OUR CONCEPT:
At Social Eatery & Bar, we’ve been inspired to serve a Global Fusion cuisine, a culturally, and regionally inspired menu focused on ‘farm fresh’ ingredients sourced locally and globally. We believe in supporting local farmers as well as exposing indigenous ingredients that create the flavor and inspiration for our menu. Whether it’s our Chermoula spice from North Africa, a Chimichurri sauce from Argentina or a Bibimbop Rice Bowl from Korea we believe the way we celebrate food as a world tribe is inspiring and it is represented in our carefully curated menu.

Will someone at Social please close down your OpenTable account while you are CLOSED for renovations?! Did not enjoy driving up to an empty desolate restaurant with our guests, when I'd received an email confirming my reservation the day before. We happened to call the restaurant an hour before our reservation because we had a question ask in advance, and guess what--no message on the phone indicating that ya'lls is closed for the summer or whatnot. It was just like a busy-tone. Come on. I've had dinner here several times. Enjoyed the food, enjoyed the atmosphere, the service is pretty good. You dropped the ball on this one.

I made a reservation on Open Table for Saturday October 19, 2019. The reservation was accepted. However, when I got there the restaurant was closed with a sign they were closed for renovations.. I was frustrated that my reservation was accepted. I assume Open Table was not informed that the restaurant was closed. This is poor communication to Open Table and to me. It will take a while before I return...if I return.

Restaurant closed for renovations, but still taking reservations on Open Table. Had to scramble to find somewhere else for dinner when we found it was closed.

Made a reservation and it was closed. No one called us to say that the restaurant would be closed and there was no sign on the door. The neighboring restaurant had to tell us. Was very disappointing as it was my father’s birthday.

After booking a reservation, credit cR provided, for a party of 10...we arrived at the social only to find out the place permanently closed two weeks ago!!!! We were one of three parties in the parking lot with large parties and no other restaurant to accommodate the large party. Thanks opentable! I’ll think twice before booking through this site!

I had made a reservation days ago for my birthday and when I arrived the place was completely shut down. Several other people had apparently also made reservations and were waiting outside. Extremely disappointed being that my husband and I drove quite a ways for the occasion to not so much as even find a note on the door explaining why they were closed.
