    TERIYAKI RIBEYE
    Ines D.

    Yeahhhh ngl, this was extremely fire. The flavors were melting on my tongue. I definitely asked for the sauce on the side but I'm glad my server forgot / didn't listen to me bc this was tewwww good. The steak could've been more on the rare side but tbh i still ate the entire thing... & the veggies in this dish were divine. I could kill a whole tub of the carrots and cauliflower. 10/10 The place itself is so insanely busy so def make a reservation ahead of time & try to avoid Sunday brunch / lunch or you'll hit the church crowd. Service was great as well. Parking can be a bit annoying and tight but nothing too bad that will make u want to choose another restaurant.

    Great vibes, disappointing service and execution Came here for a company dinner after a long, rough day, and I was really hoping Kitchen Social would be the reset we needed. The ambiance was definitely vibey and perfect for socializing, with a lively atmosphere that fit our group of 13 well. Unfortunately, everything after the hostess stand went downhill on the service side. Our server felt disengaged from the start and rarely checked on us. It was hard to tell if we'd said something wrong or if he was just having an off night, but even after asking other staff members to send him over, he never came back to check on our table. With automatic gratuity already added for a large party, it was disappointing to experience such minimal attention and care. What I had: * Mediterranean Salmon (shared): The portion split felt more like 75/25 than an even share, which was a little odd for something asked to be split. The salmon itself was decent, but the hummus quickly overpowered the dish if you mixed everything together. * Teriyaki Ribeye: I requested medium rare and received a steak well past well-done, dry enough that it was basically inedible. It almost tasted like it had been reheated rather than freshly cooked. Since our server never checked in, I had to flag someone else down to get it replaced, and the remake took about 15 minutes to arrive--even though the cut was thin and already marinated. * Old Fashioned: The cocktail came out quite watered down, with very little depth of flavor. I would've asked for it to be remade, but again, our server was nowhere to be found. The bar program also felt surprisingly limited for a place that leans into a social, cocktail-forward vibe, which added to the letdown. Between the uneven service, lack of follow-through, and several misses on the food and drinks, it's hard to say I'd rush back--especially when there are so many other strong options in Columbus.

    I really enjoyed the food it is delicious. The service is pleasant; I don't usually eat much, but on this occasion, I was able to enjoy absolutely everything.

    1st time visiting an Ohio location and it did not regret. It was a crowded Friday night but we were able to get seated within 10 minutes without a reservation. As always, asked for recommendations from our server. Shout out to Jett because everything he recommended I loved! Favorite part of the meal was the short rib and carrot hummus and the cheddar scallion biscuits. I liked it so much I actually thought of ordering some to go. Menu has so many options to choose from, it caters to many types of palettes. My bevy, the Blackberry Cooler, was refreshing. My friend got the non alcoholic version and said it was too tart. Only disappointment of the night was they ran out of the brown butter cake. The banana caramel cake was still a good substitution. Plenty of parking but do recommend to make a reservation to avoid long wait times. Cant wait to come back and enjoy a happy hour.

    Absolutely banging!!!! Fast as hell, delicious fresh made in house food. Servers are friendly, fast, and professional. Atmosphere is fast paced, fun and clean. Restrooms are outstanding, I love everything about this place. It's no wonder it's got over 1k 5 star reviews. Don't miss kitchen social. We loved it and will be

    Came back for a round two after 4 years. This time I brought my husband and we met up with my Bestie for dinner. It's definitely a happening place. Reservations are highly recommended. They do seat you as quick as they can. But there may be a wait. Which is expected for a Friday evening. We sat on their patio. Nice ambiance. And not as loud as it is on the inside. We started out with the biscuits and the Queso and Guacamole with tortilla chips. This is where the three stars come in. The Queso is not hot. Not sure if that is the thing. But it was not even warm. Who eats cold Queso? We asked for hot Queso twice. And nope.... It was never hot. I think the second time it was colder than the first time. Bummer. Then for our entrees. Hubby had Fish and Chips. He liked it. My friend and I both got the Tempura Shrimp Bowl. She added Salmon to hers. Again.... Not hot. Not even warm. Was told that typically it is not made hot. Kind of odd. But ok. The server did take my friends back to the kitchen to have it heated up. I ate mine as is. It's really tasty. I enjoyed it. Would probably get it again. Giving 3 stars sucks. But it is what it is. Will go back again when I am in town. Overall it's a great place. Oh..... the drink I had was the Social Sunshine. Delicious!!!

    An honest review. Love everything about this place except...the parking! Never has parking nearby because it is always packed. This time around I felt like the service was great until we paid and tipped, then no one ever stopped by again to refill drinks. If you want to linger and talk over dessert, I feel like we would have gotten better service if we would have waited to pay. Food was really good! Portions are on the smaller side but I feel like prices were reasonable. Manager stopped by a few times to check on us and engage, he did a great job!

    Service and ambience are both amazing! I really liked the covered outdoor seating with fire. The thing that kept me coming back every night of my work trip though was the food! The food is phenomenal and you can tell the chef is very intentional with the flavor combinations. I wanted to eat items on the healthier side and really enjoyed their salmon dishes. On a visit I came with a coworker I tried the biscuits which were amazing. Definitely recommend coming here to try out some dishes!

    This was our second visit to Kitchen Social. We had a trip to Daytona for the weekend and decided to make a stop in Columbus just to eat here again. Staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Reservations are a must because they are literally busy from open to close. They have patio that opens from the bar and the dining room has a beautiful vibe to it with high ceilings. It does get pretty loud in there though. This time around we ordered the cheddar scallion biscuits because I can't stop thinking about them. Super crispy on the top with a hint of sugar. Ahhh-mazing. We also had the chicken katsu and the salmon. I would def order the salmon again and my husband loooved the katsu. They also have a brunch menu on Sundays. Can't wait to go back!

    Biscuits
    Shannon S.

    I visited from Arizona, with 5 co-workers. We arrived around 4:30p and were seated immediately and drink orders were taken. We ordered a few appetizers for the table. The biscuits came highly recommended and they did not disappoint, nor did the shrimp. The guacamole and quest did were okay. My main dish, the teriyaki steak was delicious. The flavor was on point however the cook was off. I asked for medium but on side of the steak (the thinner side) was medium well and as I moved to the thicker part it was medium, not a big issue. The veggies that accompanied the steak was good was well. The place was packed though, seems like it's a popular spot. It wasn't noisy though.

    Went here for Mother's Day. The food was awesome. The staff was immaculate. The atmosphere was very nice. The salad was delicious. The pizza was delicious. The chicken tender basket was delicious. The braised beef tacos were delicious.

We knew it would be busy, but was not ready to be waiting more than an hour between first course and second course! Several things did not go well. We had to wait an extra 10-15 minutes post our reservation time for the table to be ready. I found the portion sizes to be on the small side. I ordered the butter chicken pasta, which was really saucy so it was a shame to waste the remaining sauce once the pasta was finished. They give no complimentary bread, which would have been a nice addition to the pasta. The flavor of the butter chicken pasta and the hot chipotle chicken dip were good, but portion could have been larger for the price. Since the wait was extremely long between courses, I was offered a free refill for my mocktail, but when I got the check I was charged for it. I did not bring it up because after more than two hours of dining in, I was ready for it to be over. The mango creme brulee was not cool enough and so it did not set properly. The tiramisu tres leches was just okay, and they had ran out of the brownie dessert completely. I don't see myself coming back with so many nice Italian restaurants available in the city.

Everything else, hush puppies, coconut shrimp was just ok. The lobster rangoons were just terrible, they were overwhelmingly lemon-y. My sister had the burger and she said it was really good.
