   Society Cafe felt like an elegant speakeasy. It had ambiance and lovely decor. We enjoyed the cuisine and the prices were quite reasonable. The service was exceptional.

   This is a very pretty restaurant, with a lovely vibe, and the food is good, but considering how not crowded it was, I thought the service was pretty slow. We would, however, consider going back.

   Hi Lori, Thank you very much for your feedback. We're grateful for the opportunity to look into what might have slowed down service. For Dinner we sometimes maintain a comfortable pace but usually we are able to accommodate guests who prefer a quicker meal. Thank you again for your observations, it is very helpful!

   Lovely vibe and food is excellent. But, portions are very small. Services was rude and rushed us out despite having many open tables. Had she offered us a coffee and a space to sit in the lobby- all would be fine. However there was no attempt to be kind and no reason to rush is.

   Hi Katherine, We admit that this is a rough review to read for our management team, but there is clearly a lot of useful information here for us to follow up on. We will take a good look at our best practices and training. While we may need to communicate that tables are needed and there are other things we may or may not be able to do, we can always be friendly. I can promise you that our team is looking into this immediately. We appreciate your detailed information about your experience and apologize for any inconvenience this caused for you.

   Brunch menu offers lots of nice choices. Our foursome had pancakes, omelets , and bagel with smoked salmon. All very good. Although the room was crowded with noisy groups, we were not rushed & appreciated that.

   Hi Virginia! Thank you for your review and thank you so much for noticing that we try not to rush anyone's experience even when we are quite busy. If you like our Brunch but want an experience with a few less people in the room we recommend giving our Friday Brunch a chance! Your group had a pretty good range of what our Brunch has to offer, and are so glad to hear that everything was tasty. We hope that you are able to join us again!

   Thank you so much Nancy! We love that you also love our skylight! Nothing like natural light. We are glad that our Brunch was delicious and we look forward to seeing you again. Hope your 2025 is off to a great start.

    Long day of shows, booked the hotel restaurant because we were tired. Figured if we get the pizza it would be fine. After we got a good look at the menu, instead we had full main. Halibut for my wife and NY strip for me. Both were executed perfectly. My wife’s halibut was just perfect with that crispy skin you get when it’s perfect. Look we are from New Orleans so we know when fish is cooked well and a beure blanc is right. Our French ancestors were using that sauce before there was a USA. The steak was spot on medium rare with a tasty basque cider garlic sauce. Great job!!
