“I had French onion soup. It was delicious. Lots of cheese! And loaded corn bread with honey butter served hot still in the skillet! I also ordered the veggie burger. I asked what was in the burger the waiter said garbanzo beans #allergygirl I thought great I can eat those! But when it came there were lots of other things in there (I know my fault for not being more detailed in my questioning). The waiter could not offer any details even after going to the kitchen. Better safe than sorry I decided not to eat it. The waiter made it easy by taking it off my bill.“

“It's been far too long since my last visit here, and I am delighted that today's lunch more than lived up to my memory! I ordered my favorite, the chicken Cæsar salad, and it was fresh, crunchy, and full of shredded rotisserie chicken. My dining companions had the steak-frîtes and the bœuf Bourguignon - the steak was apparently just a *bit* overcooked but the truffle fries are to die for. The bœuf Bourguignon was incredible, the sauce deeply flavorful and unctuous. My cucumber cocktail was light and refreshing, and glory hallelujah, they've brought back the big bowl of chocolate mousse that I haven't seen since before lockdown (so yummy I forgot to take a photo). The mousse is delightfully smooth and not too sweet, a perfect end to the meal. Our server was lovely, attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu (I don't remember her name, but she has Rainbow Fish earrings!) I left with an utterly content stomach, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!“

The Social Terrace American
136 Francis St E, Williamsburg

“The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with an elegant atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a high-end dining experience. The staff were attentive and professional throughout the evening, which added to the overall sense of care and refinement. There were some standout dishes. My husband thoroughly enjoyed both his salad and the vegetable chowder, noting that they were flavorful and well-prepared. However, I was disappointed with the preparation of the redfish, which was cut into small, thin pieces and served with the skin left on—something I didn't find particularly appetizing. While the accompanying tossed salad with peas and the overall flavor of the dish were good, the dish felt underwhelming and not very satisfying. The ribeye also fell short of expectations, as it contained quite a bit of gristle, which detracted from what should have been a premium cut of meat. Overall, while the ambiance and service were excellent, the execution of some key dishes left room for improvement.“

“What an absolutely wonderful dining experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, lively, and thoughtfully curated.
The food was exceptional. We ordered the fish and chips and the Dixie Stacker sandwich, and both were outstanding. The fish was perfectly cooked — light, crisp, and flaky — while the fries were fresh and golden. The Dixie Stacker was layered beautifully, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. Every bite tasted fresh, high-quality, and carefully prepared.
The drinks were just as impressive. The Apple Cider was refreshing and flavorful, and the Cranberry Lemonade had the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Both complemented the meal beautifully.
What truly elevated the evening was the service. Our lovely waitress Kerry was attentive, warm, and genuinely delightful. She anticipated our needs, made thoughtful recommendations, and ensured everything arrived promptly and perfectly. Her professionalism and charm added so much to the overall experience.
The ambiance and music sealed the deal. The atmosphere was vibrant yet comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening out.
This was more than just dinner — it was a truly enjoyable and memorable experience. We will absolutely be returning.“

“The ambiance is exquisite -- fine dining at its best. The service was impeccable. At one point I had two different servers assisting me with my cocktail decision. My Miso Green Goddess Salmon was unique and delectable. The Vanilla Panna Cotta was worth every calorie! My son loved his Chicken Francaise. It was truly a wonderful dinner.“
