Description

Wow, let me tell you about Social Restaurant + Lounge. Situated at 537 Sussex Dr in Ottawa, this spot really brings a vibe that’s hard to beat, especially with its location in the Byward Market. You can tell it’s designed for those who enjoy a mix of upscale dining and laid-back lounge culture.

Now, you might’ve heard mixed reviews about the service especially, right? Some folks love the drinks, calling them “fantastic,” while others say the service feels a bit rushed, or even kind of moody at times. It’s that kind of place where your night hinges on who’s waiting your table. One minute you’re celebrating a birthday with bubbly, and the next, you’re left wondering why it’s taking so long just to get a menu.

The menu boasts progressive Canadian cuisine with a twist. There are options for everyone—craft cocktails, a solid wine list, and even a few vegan dishes. Let’s not skip over the patio, either. Picture sipping a cold craft beer under the trees with a beautiful old-world ambiance surrounding you. It’s cozy yet trendy; a perfect backdrop for a first date or a night out with friends.

People rave about their chef’s board too. Who doesn’t love a good charcuterie platter, right? But, the portion sizes can leave you scratching your head, particularly for the price. It’s kinda notorious for that—some great flavors but less bang for your buck, if you know what I mean.

And could we chat about the ambiance? Timeless, lively, with just enough class to make you feel good about yourself. They even offer live music on occasion—what’s better than that?

However, you might wanna make a reservation for dinner, especially on weekends. The buzz can get lively, and trust me, you don’t wanna be left in the cold. If you haven’t been to Social yet, you’re missing out on one of Ottawa’s dynamic dining experiences—just be prepared for a rollercoaster of service. Will it be amazing or just okay? Guess you’ll have to find out for yourself!
