Bartender was great, interacted more with the patrons at the bar and at 3:30pm on a Tuesday it seemed other servers were just coming on so orders and check ins were on the slow side. The James cocktail (old fashioned) was exceptional. At HH prices I ordered 2. My friend ordered the Cobbler Mule and that was very tasty. Ordered a pepperoni pizza to take home. Had to re-heat it because of an accident on the freeway, but heated up well. Glad I got the HH price ($16) because that was exactly the right price point for what we received. I'd definitely be back for happy hour or dinner. For dinner definitely make reservations. It's not huge inside. Very nice patio for quiet weather days.

It's a small menu of small to medium sized plates to share with the table, which I love. It's always nice to get a little bit of everything. We ordered three items for the two of us, and we got a little more full than we needed to be. We got the Lobster Corndogs, Ceviche, and the Snake River Farm Prime Tomahawk with Chimichurri. The portions were larger than I would have expected, so it was more than enough for two people. Ceviche is a favorite of mine, and this was no exception. Great texture and had good-sized, crunchy tortillas to put it on. I don't really eat fried foods, but my husband ordered the Lobster Corn Dogs, which he enjoyed, but wasn't really my jam. Personal preference. The start of the show was the Tomahawk. It was butter-tender, full of flavor, and Chimichurri was to die for. It is the number one thing I would re-order, again and again. Highly recommended. If you count in the elevated and incredibly tasty food, the atmosphere, and the wonderful staff, there's every reason to give it a try. You won't regret it. Oh, and their drinks are great too!

Social Oak: From a Favorite to a Foodborne Cautionary Tale…read more I used to frequent Social Oak and genuinely enjoy it, which makes the steady decline in my last several visits all the more disappointing. Unfortunately, each experience has managed to lower the bar a little further, and my most recent visit has finally buried it. Let's start with the food. Quality is underwhelming, and portions are more suited to a tasting menu than a dinner unless you're prepared to order several dishes since nothing comes with a side. The drinks are overpriced, small, gimmicky, and seem more focused on putting on a show than delivering anything worth the price tag. The service hasn't helped. Bar service has been increasingly inattentive, with long stretches between check-ins, no water unless you ask, and bartenders who occasionally seem personally offended by the prospect of serving you. Nothing says hospitality quite like feeling like an inconvenience for being a customer. Now, for the main event: my most recent visit. I ordered the bone marrow, which was a spectacular disappointment for $22. Two small bones containing perhaps two tablespoons of marrow combined. A real bargain, if you're paying by the cubic millimeter. One bone had a questionable color and texture that looked a little undercooked under the restaurant's moody lighting. I noticed it, thought, Hmm, that looks sus, and unfortunately had already eaten some before I could fully process my questionable life choices. Approximately four hours later, I was launched into what can only be described as an upside-down volcano situation. I'm writing this review from my couch, 24 hours later, between bouts of violent gastrointestinal warfare. My bathroom and I have become very close. We are in a committed relationship now. For context, the bone marrow was the only thing I ate that day that I hadn't shared with other people, and none of those people got sick. I can't definitively prove the source, but the timing and circumstances are certainly suspicious enough to make this visit memorable for all the wrong reasons. Between the inconsistent food, underwhelming portions, overpriced novelty cocktails, and increasingly unpleasant service, Social Oak has become a place I will never return. If you're going for the atmosphere, enjoy your cocktail theater and bring your patience. If you're going for dinner, bring your wallet and roll the dice. May the odds be in your favor.

Now I know I have not eaten here before...we did stop in a couple of times and once left because nothing on the HH menu looked good to us at that time. The second time we walked out after sitting there for 10-15 minutes and not getting any service! Now it was a beautiful morning and my gf really wanted to go here, great patio I will say. It took a bit seeing that we didn't have a reservation but we did get seated on the patio. Now I will say the service was not great but it was not an issue for the most part, I thought our waitress did a good job she was just really busy! What I will judge was the wait and the food! I love the fact they care about their ingredients, what they use and where they get it...it showed in some ways! What I didn't love was the fact they absolutely sucked on the follow through! I had the crab eggs Benedict...now I remember from culinarily school that hollandaise sauce is hard, but making it without it breaking is a MUST! Mine was broken, fat separated out, something you would never see at a half ass breakfast place like Dennys!! This was gross, pure and simple! My gfs breakfast came out wrong...took a while to get it the first time and even longer to get the right dish!!! It was an eggswhite Frittata, they do not take long to make in a very small cast iron! Now the part that I really didn't like...she paid, she is not my baby momma, love of my life but not mother of my daughter...and she paid the whole bill!! She should not have been charged for the Frittata...it took forever to get the right one and then she didn't eat much of it at all, we were done time wise and it was not good...very bland and rubbery!! She wouldn't let me complain since she was paying, she is so sweet and kind, just that kind of person! I was tempted to quietly track down the manager...but didn't! Should have! Over all, don't think I would go back! When your kitchen can't make simple sauces and the basics, why should I give you my money?? Or hers! The manager owes her a gift card! KT

It is pretty small, but that wasn't a problem any time I stopped by. The best part is the live music. It really is nice to stop and sit for awhile to listen to the music and sip on some local beers. You can order from their small bar food menu; but you can also order regular food from the nearby restaurant menu. When I visited they did not have a lot of help but as I mentioned it wasn't a large place, one person can cover the entire floor without much problem. If you want a new experience, the creme brulee cheesecake is absolutely amazing!

I had never been to this restaurant before. Everybody I was with told me how great the burger was…read more So I decided to order it. That was the saltiest cheeseburger I've ever had in my life. The fries were good, but they were too salty too. I like salt, but not as much as was on either one of those. I don't know since it's called American cheese on the hamburger if it's the stuff that comes the individual individually wrapped type. I would hope not in this kind of a restaurant. Since that's not even real cheese. I think our waitress was new. Because we asked her what some of the ingredients were in the drinks and she couldn't tell us. We also ordered an appetizer and she delivered our food and never brought the appetizer. So we canceled that. I don't think I'd ever order that hamburger again.

I chose a cozy spot with a great view of the bar, and my server, Syd, was wonderful and helpful with both my drink and food selections. I started with a Tito's martini with a twist. Once I finished that, I tried the Yerba Mar-Tea-Ni, made with gin, yerba mate, peppermint tea, green tea, jasmine tea, agave, and citric acid. Both cocktails gave me the perfect little pick-me-up and were a delicious start to my meal. The true star of the show was the Black Cod with Wissel Farms corn, miso, black garlic, and popped sorghum. It's also gluten- and dairy-free. Can I just say...WOW! It was so delicious that I wanted more! If I had been with a larger group, I definitely would have ordered an appetizer to share as well. There's even more to explore here, including another restaurant and an attached speakeasy. What started as a quick cocktail turned into such a great experience. I'll absolutely be back!
