This was a lovely experience. The service from Nancy, George and colleagues was excellent. I had the catch of the day (red snapper) - Best fish dish I have ever - so freshy and perfectly flavored. Also the most expensive fish dish I have ever eaten FYI.

Chef Phillip, George, and Anthony were fantastic during our meal. I had the rib-eye steak, which was a good size and it was cooked to perfection!

Cosy brasserie with some very decent steaks. Just like everything else at the Social House, every detail is well thought through, and the service is world class. Quite good wine selection too.
