Social - Ottawa

Ambiance and cocktails were great. Service was VERY slow (even though it was a Monday and quiet) and very inattentive. We asked for bread to go with the meal, and it came after we were done. When I asked for water they dropped off the water bottle rather than fill our glasses. They poured the wine, and never came back to repour. This is quite an upscale resto and I expected more. My guests were a former provincial premier and an international dignitary when I am back in town in 2 weeks I will skip The Social.

The server we had was outstanding. She knew her stuff and made the evening great.

Lovely spot for a classy lunch. Excellent service and delicious mains. Well worth it.

Lots of great options on the menu, and the food is excellent. The cocktails were also very well prepared. Service was passable, but not worthy of the inflated tip prompts on the card machine.

The ambience is excellent. For the price, the salmon was below average compared to other similar priced restaurants. No flavour. The roasted chicken was tough and vegetables were soggy. I would recommend this restaurant but not for the food.
