The Social Kitchen - New London

I went for a quick lunch before heading back to Long Island on the ferry. I was a bit disappointed with the chicken thigh bites I ordered, as the menu described them as fried with choice of sauce. I was excited to see they were dark meat, as most restaurants use white meat. However, when my food arrived, it turned out to be white meat chicken, which made it dry. The flavor was good, but not what I was expecting. On the bright side, the cocktail was delicious. Overall, it was not a completely disappointing experience, but I don't think I would return.

We had a great time at the Social tonight listening to the New London Big Band. The musicians were fantastic and the vocalist was perfect. The service, food, and atmosphere were all excellent.

I used to love this restaurant. It was our first visit since the pandemic started. I have been eager to return, but parking can be difficult in this area. Today, however, everything fell into place - well, almost. I was craving chicken bites, a delicious burger, and a cold beer. The chicken bites were excellent, but the burger was spicy without much flavor, giving me heartburn. The beers were all served at room temperature from the tap. The service was also lacking, with unfriendly bartenders setting a negative tone. My mouth is burning - why??!!!!

So first I want to open it: the personal here is super friendly and cool. they were fantastic, my rating is mainly based on eating. I had the gartenburger with pommes (fries do not have to be dusted to be vegan along with the tofu bites as an appetizer. the tofu bites were good, but they are ned in a sauce, so they choose a sauce they think they will like and they will be in order. they are also very oily, so if they do not like oily foods, skip them, but if they want to munch something with a beautiful, crispy resistance, this is in order. the gartenburger was not good. it is in the round a baked burger from a sweet with little to no season. it tastes very bland and soße only marginally helps. I had a hard time coming through mine, and there were times when I even felt a little sick. I understand I didn't have to eat all this, but I don't like wasting it. I am not sure why they make this burger if they can easily divide it for something like an impossibility or beyond burger, both of which are well preserved by the majority of the vegan. throw them on some vegan mayo and violife cheese, and they have a big burger. but instead they have made their own veggie-based burger. it is like the type of food non-vegans think vegan eating: bland, tasteless and sweet. the fries were good, similar to the tofu. Some find them in salt, but I thought they were in order. my suggestion? this is a great place to pack a beer with friends and to munch on some appetizers, but clearly steer off their main dishes and eat at home.

The tofu bites were glittered, soggy and very sad. I wouldn't go back here. updated by previous review on 2021-08-26
