Church Street Social - it's all in the name
In a first, I'm going to review a restaurant!
This is simlply because I have had the opportunity to visit this place twice in the last 2 months and I believe it's worth a review.
You may have sensed from my tone that I'm quite impressed with this place.
Any time of the day, any day of the week, Social is living up to its name!
It's thronging with people all the time and there's no particular kind of crowd that comes in.
You'll find your typical college crowd to the working class and everyone in between.
I've visited the place during prime time in the day and night.
Strangely, both times bang in the middle of the week. But before you judge me, let me tell you even I was surprised at the number of people that come out on weekdays/nights.
The music is good, appropriate for the time of the day - I've noticed restaurants generally have a playlist that keeps repeating over and over. Not happening! - Social brings a refreshing change to that scenario.
The ambience is rustic, you get served in everything from cutting-chai glasses to beakers and kettles.

The bar menu has some whacky concoctions - all worth a try.
The prices are regular, nothing much to be spoken about.
But what I do wish to speak about are the food portions.
They serve American/Asian cuisine and I like how generous they are with the food.
You genuinely feel full by the end of the meal unlike the tapas portions that are served at some other places, leaving you feeling hungry and swindled.

Service can be a bit slow if it's too crowded but I guess we can cut the place some slack given its prime location and services. But the serving staff could be given a lesson or two on customer service.
Like they say, the place don't matter if you've got good company. So, lucky for Social, I was able to look past these little niggles because of my lovely besties and of course the husband.
My recommendation: I'll be fair, I had a good time. So, if you live in Bengaluru and haven't visited Social yet, now you have a reason to step out. Or if you don't live here and are visiting namma uru, be sure to book yourself a table here for a meal before you leave.
