I feel the need to write a review because the main reason I booked this place was their availability and it’s been one of the best experiences I’ve had dining out in a long time! The ambience of the restaurant is so lovely and the cocktails were on point. Everything from the bread to steak was delicious. I will definitely be making a point to come back here! And in a city of a million options, that’s saying something!

Society Cafe is located off the lobby of a boutique hotel (Walker Hotel) in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. Please note, this review is based on my enjoying a cocktail and nosh at the bar upon arrival while my room was being prepared as well as Breakfast/Brunch the following morning prior to departure. First to mention, the space is quaint and warm; the decor and ambiance is classic but modern at the same time. So, first impression is that this place is promising. Next up the greeting, the gentleman who greeted me upon arrival, was welcoming, cordial and attentive. I said that I was waiting for someone and wanted just a cocktail and nosh and bar seating would be perfect ... he motioned me to the bar (immediately adjacent to the entrance). I sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender’s friendly smile, he expertly took and prepared my cocktail order, a goose dirty martini, he shook that drink within an inch of its life, served up frosty cold, smooth, and delicious as can be! He too was kind and warm, inviting not quick to serve and move on, my guest arrived, we enjoyed a few more cocktails, a nosh of Chickpea Fries and Blistered Shishito Peppers both perfect portions that hit the spot for an afternoon pick-me-up. The next morning, we were greeted again by the same gentleman as the afternoon prior, he was again, warm, and welcoming, well groomed (we commented about his perfect hair .. LOL) and ready to run the show; by now I gather he is the Manager on staff and with good reason. He guided us to our table, made sure that we were settled in with our menus and ready to enjoy a fantastic first meal of the day! The menu selections are ample, easy to find something for everyone’s tastes. We had a tough time deciding but chose to split Market Omelet which came with breakfast potatoes Everything Bagel with House Made Lox and a Side of Applewood Bacon ... all portions were perfect and the quality of the preparation on everything was perfect! Our server was a

Room and service were excellent. No free refills on soda be aware, but that’s just a nitpick. Food was very good overall but one of us ordered a kale salad with a protein add-in, and they brought a small dish for the salad and the chicken was in a separate small plate. Why not mix these all together in the kitchen and then bring a single dish or bowl like every other restaurant that opts to put this task on the customer?
Society CafeResponded on March 18, 2024
Hi TinyDancer, Thank you very much for your feedback! Our Chef has elected to serve our add-on protein for our salads separately mainly because they are still hot off of the stove and we are concerned about wilting the greens. We absolutely understand how it could be an imposition on your experience. If you are able to join us again we will be happy to mix it in the kitchen if requested. I hope this explains our thought process a little bit better and we want you to know that it wasn't to make extra work for you but only to try to preserve the integrity of the ingredients. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how our choices impacted your experience and to further consider what we might be able to do to improve on it in the future.

Society CafeResponded on March 12, 2024
Hi, We are so sorry to hear that your experience was disturbed by the noise from cleaning and from the birthday. Our brunch can be on the louder side but we do try our best to mitigate noise in whatever way we have control over. It is obvious from your experience that we fell short and we deeply apologize. Thank you very much for leaving us a message and letting us know so that we can work on it and improve in the future.

Wait service was great, I arrived early and they had no problem sitting me down earlier rather than waiting my original time of reservation. They were quick with brining out drinks and food and overall a great experience. The noise level was a little on the higher end due to a few birthday brunch celebrations going on but of course no fault to the restaurant. 10/10 would recommend.
Society CafeResponded on March 11, 2024
Hi Nicole, Thank you so much for joining us for Brunch. And thank you very much for understanding about the birthday celebrations. We are very glad to hear that there were details in service that you appreciated and will share them with our team. We really appreciate the support are hope you are able to join us again!

Wine prices are 3-4 times cost of bottle but otherwise a great place to hang out with top notch service. Ambiance! Love this place.

Hi Owl, Love the name! We love owls, RIP Flaco. So pleased to hear that we were able to provide 'top notch" service. We strive to create a great place to hang. Appreciate the feedback regarding our wines. We apologize that our wine mark-up was greater than expected, we really do our best to keep our pricing as low as we can in order to provide a great value for our guests. We hope that you are able to come back and visit us again!
