The Social View

6.4

From my quick glance, The Social View delivers a welcoming, uncrowded atmosphere with plenty of seating and a comfortable vibe. The staff are friendly and attentive, offering spot-on recommendations without being pushy. The menu hits a nice balance of lighter bites and hearty options, all plated with care. The view itself adds a quiet charm, with thoughtful lighting that makes conversations easy and the overall experience feel relaxed and dependable.

Whether you’re meeting friends or enjoying a solo break, the Social View environment encourages lingering a little longer. I appreciated the thoughtful pacing of service and the quality of drinks that stay consistent across visits. The only minor snag was a brief delay during peak hours, easily forgivable given the generally quick turnover and lively, friendly crowd that keeps the place feeling energetic without shoutiness.

Go into town late, only place open near my hotel and I didn't want to go too far. Very nice place, lots of seating areas. I want you to the top deck in the outside seating area. Service was good and the food came in a timely manner. Don't be discouraged if there are not a lot of people especially on a Sunday night. Soon as I sat down people started coming in. Good music as well.

This spot is located in the intersection of the streets, and you need to go up to the second floor. Highly recommend the Social View Signature Sandwich – the bacon jam has a nice touch of sweetness and the grilled chicken is really tasty. The hot chips are also worth trying. The serving might be a tad slow. Overall, about $17 per person, and definitely worth it!

Great food and fun atmosphere! Service was a tad slow, but the food and scenery made up for it. Had the Social View Signature chicken sandwich and hot chips, so good. Would definitely come again.

Top Rated Reviewer Dee-lish! There's a wrap around terrace on the second level, so this place probably rocks in the summer. I was here in the dead of winter and the food was so good, I couldn't wait to come back for more! They have one of the best black & blue salads, ever! The spice reminds me of churrascaria in Spain, which is balanced by the flavorful chunks of creamy blue cheese. The bar was full for midweek & specialty cocktails did not disappoint - 2 words: edible glitter This place is all around fun ❤️ ❤️ if helpful, thanks!

Food was fresh and delicious! Service was quick and friendly. The Tub cocktail is a cute idea and stiff to boot! Highly recommend the classic burger; it's flame grilled and seasoned/cooked to perfection (ordered medium and came with the perfect warm pink one expects). Recommend the hot chips with it. Sunday was a bit slow but it was pleasant.
