    Our dinner at Society was outstanding! We started with the Society House Salad - a wonderful blend of fresh ingredients and bright flavors - delicious! The pesto pasta was creamy, savory goodness to the last bite. Our server was on point, anticipating every need. The personal attention from a co-founder of the restaurant was the highlight of a warm, welcoming, outstanding dining experience.

    What a fun place to eat and celebrate a birthday. Alyssa was phenomenal. She was very attentive. The manager came over and spoke to us and completely made my friends night. Alyssa also recommended delicious food and we can’t wait to come back.

    My wife and I met up with a friend for dinner and this place is incredible! The whipped feta dip is literally to die for! Drinks were some of the best we’ve had and totally matched the vibe of the restaurant! Our server Beef was the highlight of this experience and had nothing but amazing recommendations for everything to try! I can’t wait to come again and make this our new favorite spot!

    We had tickets for Wicked and let our server know we were on a time crunch, but unfortunately, our meal still nearly two hours. It’s a gorgeous place with great vibe, While the food was good, the service was disappointing. Our server disappeared for over 10 minutes at a time, and we waited far too long for our drinks and appetizer. This pattern continued throughout the meal, forcing me to ask another server for assistance multiple times. I don’t like leaving negative reviews, but I believe the server may need some coaching to help improve.

    This was a fantastic dinner for us. We found the place using Open Table and made reservations for it before our trip to Tempe. My Ora King salmon dish was served on a potato cake and served with a lobster cream sauce that I didn’t think would pair well but was phenomenal. It might have been a ‘special’ that night, I don’t recall. My wife ate the arancini as an appetizer and the the mussels. Both were presented beautifully and tasted delicious. My dessert was a small slice of a chocolate cake with raspberry and chocolate drizzle. Very good, not rich and good balance of flavors. Our server (Aaron?) was super nice, very knowledgeable of the menu and how dishes were prepared. That made our difficult decisions easier, no doubt. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor in a strip mall but - PLEASE! - don’t let that fool you. The vibe inside was casual and fun, but well decorated. It wasn’t dark not bright, plenty of lights but all just bright enough to see. One of the best meals from start to finish in a long time.
