The wood fire chicken salad was delicious and filling! Even for me. The burger and fries that stared at me from across the table looked absolutely delicious, too!

So far it's my favorite burger in Chicago... I had the pork belly burger. Just as the description, 12 hours slow cooking with real wood...you get the lovely smell. Highly recommend. The beef burger is also delicious...but pork is my favorite.

The burger didn’t taste very good to me. I just got a cheese burger.

I ordered steak and eggs, and my daughter and her fiance split a chicken chorizo flatbread. Drinks, food, everything was great. Even more outstanding was our server (Jess, according to the receipt). Friendliest, most on-the-ball server ever. In addition, when we left and were walking toward our next stop, I realized after about a block and a half that I had left my reading glasses at the restaurant. Just as I turned around to go back and get them, there was Jess with my glasses. She had run to catch us to return my glasses. So outstanding. Definitely would recommend Sociale.

 I thought about sharing the details of our visit but will just sum it  up to say overall not a good experience from Service to food to atmosphere if you're looking for someplace to eat in the south loop try a different location.
It was a very warm day, we were seated indoors not too far from the bar, next to a window area. It was really warm where we were sitting. We were all sweating and uncomfortable. They should do something about the flies.

Food seemed an afterthought here. My appetizer was clearly a microwaved barely warn meatball on a puddle of unseasoned tomato puree. Salad was a bag of greens with a load of overly pickled beets. Noisy and cold. My partners salmon was skimpy and undercooked on a slick of overcooked spinach. Would not go back.
The pork belly was excellent. Everything else was either under seasoned or barely warm. Which would be fine if the price was a bit high and the service wasn't also very slow. I feel like when they remembered us they tried, however we had 3 different servers. The hostess was very short/rude with us. But it took roughly 10 minutes to get water and then quite a while after that to put in drink and food order. It's fine, the ambiance is great minus the loud af cars which isn't their fault, it's just medium everywhere else and it has been for years. Also the menu is a joke, give people paper menus if you mobile one is going to be so difficult to utilize and doesn't actually size to a phone.
This could be a great restaurant, with just a few tweaks. The food wasn't quite there, string fries were soggy when they should be crispy. Brusselsprouts were way undercooked but the flavor was good, the au gratin potatoes were a complete fail- basically whole baby potatoes with cheese thrown on top- unimaginative for sure, very underwhelming. But love the actual space and location of the restaurant. We had the crispy chicken sandwich which was quite good! We will try the place again.

So many weird "rules" to the brunch minosa special, it killed our experience and we would not recommend. 3 of us went for a casual brunch to celebrate a friend getting married next month. Nothing over the top but we wanted to catch up and have some mimosas. First, the mimosa package is advertised as unlimited for $35 as an add on package. Thats great, however what we learned is the 90 minutes begins as soon as you sit down, and you cannot be served a drink before you order an entree. So either you already need to know your menu order when you arrive or if your group takes 15 minutes to decide on their order, that is literally time deducted from your package. Weird. Next, they do not even bring water initially while you wait so you are rushing to review the menu with no food, no drink and no water. Finally you place your food order and they will bring your mimosa. A single mimosa must be FULLY consumed before you can request your next, so please make sure your glass is empty. Usually you would just think as it gets low they would come ask if you will be ready for another soon, however low is not empty so they will not ask until the glass is empty. What was odd was they also made my friend wait to refill hers while mine was still mid way consumed. Sorry I don't drink fast..but that shouldn't have impacted someone else's ability to get their next mimosa since her glass was empty. Overall, the experience was very odd. The rules being so confusing made us pay more attention to when someone was getting low on champagne than us actually being able to catch up as friends. I wouldn't recommend this location for a mimosa brunch option and even though we aren't big drinkers, it still seems odd to have so many stipulations around the drinks. If you go, just order regular drinks and enjoy your meal. The package will ruin your mood.
I recently dined with friends and had a pleasant experience. We ordered a chocolate martini, a margarita, double bone-aged lamb rib chops, and a side of garlic spinach. The cocktails were decent, though not particularly outstanding. The lamb chops were well-prepared and visually appealing on the plate, with portions generous enough to serve two. The flavor of the meat was excellent. However, the garlic spinach was disappointing; it was overly simple and lacked distinctive flavors—I would opt for a different side dish next time. Overall, it was a good outing and I'm eager to explore more of the menu for casual dining occasions. Although the service was a bit slow, the waitress was very friendly and the ambiance was welcoming.

Overall, good was ok. The crab cakes were not good. The coffee was terrible. They do not have turkey sausage/bacon options. Service was mediocre from our server, although there were a few other workers tho were gracious and attentive to our table.

Delicious food, good portions. EXEMPLARY honest wait-service; thank you so much for saving my lost wallet! Very personable & professional server (Saul) & staff made it a welcoming & delightful dining experience. We usually prefer trying different restaurants (with no repeats) for Restaurant Week but will be happy to make this an exception ?

Ordered off delivery, got the regular chicken sandwich and 12 bbq wings. The wings were kinda dry and tasted a little better than wingstop wings. The chicken sandwich is also ok, the bun is really sweet and it’s hard to taste anything else. They did give me a free brownie though so that’s why I’ll give them 5.
Food came out cold / room temperature. One person wasn't told the item they ordered wasn't available until everyone else received their meal and had to wait another 15-20 min to get their food.
