Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Social at Eilan offers a serene dining experience with "amazing food" and attentive service. While some dishes shine, like the "steak cooked exactly as requested," others fall short. The atmosphere is elegant yet tranquil, making it ideal for a special occasion. Standout servers like Jason enhance the experience.

    The atmosphere was nice. It was not crowded during our visit, and our server was attentive. We ordered the Pitmaster Queso with brisket and the Social Burger -- both were great. We would definitely return here on a future visit.

    Our server Jason gave us great recommendations about the menu and he was spot on. The corn ribs were delicious as we're my tacos and my husband's fried chicken club.

    We enjoyed our environment at The Social at Elaine, for the most part. It was a very quiet tranquil place. There was though another guest there that was very obnoxious and disruptive, but we didn't allow it to ruin our evening.We would definitely return on another occasion. The dining itself was very pleasant and the food was very tasty. The wait stuff was nice and courteous. I honestly I'm a little surprised that there were not more people Dinning there.

    We had a wonderful dining experience! The food was amazing and every dish was prepared to perfection. We started with the Pitmaster Queso as an appetizer which was delicious! For my entree, I had steak with asparagus and roasted potatoes. The steak was cooked exactly as I requested, the asparagus had the perfect crunch, and the roasted potatoes were seasoned and cooked perfectly! The restaurant itself is beautiful, elegant, and nice atmosphere. Our server, Jason, was incredibly attentive, kind, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. This was our first time dining here, and we truly enjoyed it. We will definitely be returning! Highly recommend!
