    Food variety, creativity, taste and quantity of servings were great. The cocktails were fun, albeit a bit sweet for my preference, and probably targeted to a younger crowd more attuned to grape juice and soda than to whisky or bourbon. The bar and table service was excellent: friendly and attentive but not so much as to disturb our date night. The decor and surrounding is really fun and unique, but the throbbing techno music was just a bit much after an hour and a half. But I will admit that I am old and ornery about “turn down that music” so take my review with a grain of salt. I would go again and, rarely, if ever do I give a restaurant a perfect five star rating. I give Society four stars (and maybe 4.5 if that was possible). If you’re in Tempe I would recommend this fun, college-vibe spot.

    The drinks, the bartender, the food quality of food the service I can go on and on, but this place was outstanding. It was our first day there for date night and we are definitely going back. This is a fantastic place to go. The food was to die for

    Cool environment. Service was super slow and we got there at 4:45 so it wasn’t busy yet. The starters were great. The charcuterie board and truffle fries were my favorite. The lighting however made our food look a little bit unappealing. We sat in the booth area. I got the crispy chicken on their avocado Caesar salad. The lettuce and dressing were iffy but the chicken was delicious and cooked well.

    We had a pretty good overall experience at this restaurant. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, which set a nice tone. Since we arrived about 30 minutes early, we decided to sit at the bar while waiting for our table. Unfortunately, the bartender wasn’t as friendly. He took my wife's drink order but never asked me, and I had to wave another bartender down just to get a drink. Neither of our drinks were particularly good. My wife ordered a dirty martini with Tito’s ($12), and they charged an additional $4 for olives, which seemed odd. I don’t drink, so I opted for a spicy margarita mocktail, and it was clear the bartender wasn’t familiar with making one—it definitely wasn’t great and my wifes Martini she didnt even finish. Once seated, our server was decent, and the food was excellent. The restaurant has a cool atmosphere and serves great food, but the service left something to be desired. If they could improve in that area, this place would be truly top-notch.

    I can't express enough about the quality of the food as well as the portion size of the plates. The restaurant itself is like a museum. Best place for a first date or birthday celebration. Servers are definitely A-plus

    First time here and everything was super good! The inside of the restaurant felt very fun and classy, great ambience. The food was great came very fast, our server was very attentive and had great recommendations. He seemed very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. I had also requested and custom momento menu for an anniversary and it came out lovely. Only downside is that the lighting is a bit dim.

    We all had a wonderful time and meal as we celebrated one of our birthdays. Even got a customized Happy Birthday menu! Food and service (Erica) were outstanding. Five in our party and we enjoyed appetizers (meatballs and feta dip were fabulous), drinks and delicious pasta dishes and salmon. Can''t wait to go back!

    First time here - great ambiance and decor. Sat at the bar where the service was actually not great. They didn't take our order for a long time and didn't check back often, but the food was very good! I will definitely go back!
