hit or miss but worth it!. although we haven't tried all of the dishes, there are certain ones i have to disagree with. tonight i had the bacon carbonara and was so upset with it that i felt i absolutely had to comment on it. let me start off with saying i absolutely love garlic. i put it in many of my dishes and im not stingy with it! after eating a little over half of this pasta dish i just couldnt take it anymore. i brushed aside...11 cloves of garlic! for me, this was beyond too much garlic and keep in mind i had already ate a lot of it. besides the garlic issue, everything else was great. there could have been a little more bacon in it but the amount of sauce and peas were a great treat.
the first time we went to thesociali got the bbq pulled pork sandwich. i was in heaven, i had cravings for weeks, i had to have more! we finally went back and of course i got the same thing. unfortunately, it was very different. it was about half it's size, cold, not pulled at all, and i wasnt satisfied. we figured that something must have gone wrong and sure enough we were right, we just didnt word our order right and they thought it was something else.
my boyfriend has ordered the same thing every single time and im sure he wont ever change it: the 1/2lb beef bacon and cheddar burger. every time he orders it he asks for it to be medium well and every time he gets it its always under cooked. by the looks of it (ive never been able to pry his hands off it for a tiny bite!), it looks very delicious and i wouldnt mind getting one for myself some day. hopefully ordering it well done will make it so i dont have to cringe at the sight of blood :(
lastly, we ordered the mac n cheese from the "small people" section. lets just say my boyfriend could make better mac n cheese and he can barely make a sandwich! we also got the cream roasted potatoes. i would say those alone will make me keep going back. they were so incredible! and for only $5? i feel like i need to stock up on them :p
after all of the issues we've had we will still go back, mostly since its so convenient (we live within walking distance). even though getting our dish right is hit or miss, its still definitely worth it. service is pretty good as they are very friendly and run around in a timely manner. im sure the views are wonderful during the non-winter times too but unfortunately that is the only time we've gone.
p.s. the fries are awesome! regular and sweet potato, both so yummy, although i will always lean towards the sweet potato ones :)
