    Lobster lobster lobster pasta
    Tamia W.

    Food was surprisingly underwhelming. We go to the Silver Diner often and I assumed it would be an equally (if not more) tasty, elevated experience. Overall, it was slightly worse than the diner downstairs. The food quality wasn't worth the price, which was unfortunate as we were looking forward to visiting Social for a while and finally went on a birthday. The ambiance is nice and chill but the tables are a little too high for the seats. We got the queso fresco pretzels, wagyu sliders, five napkin chicken sandwich, lobster lobster lobster pasta, flourles chocolate cake, and churros. The best bite was the bacon ricotta flatbread. The lobster pasta sauce was underwhelming and the desserts both tasted off. Service was friendly enough, but the experience still was a disappointment overall.

    Custom menu! This was a fantastic idea!!

    It's my fault for not ordering the right entree. I should have gotten the miso salmon bowl, but I got the crab cakes. My friend had her 40th birthday celebration and she worked with Silver Social staff to create a custom menu with a signature drink and mocktail. That part was fantastic! They even printed custom menus. Loved it! We had three options in each category: appetizers, main entree, and dessert. I got the shrimp tacos for the appetizer and they were OK. Nothing memorable. I got the super lump crab cake for the entree and they were disappointing. Very forgettable. Other people who got the miso salmon bowl said it was delicious and they other opinion was the five napkin chicken sandwich, and people also said it was delicious! I'd recommend those dishes over the crab cake. I got the churros for dessert and they were good! That was my favorite part of the meal. I got one of the mocktails and it was WAY too sweet for me. My goodness! Overall, the service was fantastic!! We were on the balcony and it's a great space for a party or happy hour.

    Chimichurri Steak & Eggs

    The hearty breakfast & chimchurri steak were pretty good. Service was quick and server was attentive. I would say, for the meal, the price point was a little high. But this place is worth the try. Environment was a good place to inside or outside. Cold brew was not my favorite!

    The hash brown things were not bad

    Silver Social feels is a slightly elevated version of Silver Diner, just with a nicer setting. The location is great and the stadium views are a plus. We went for brunch and there was a game scheduled at 4pm, so just be mindful...leaving was a whole situation. Traffic and crowds were not playing. Service started off strong, but slowly went downhill the longer we stayed. Orders were forgotten, the wait for food was way too long, and when it finally came out, it was wrong. My steak was cooked incorrectly and my eggs weren't even made the way I asked. At that point, I was over it and ready to go. And I have to say this...they allowed a dog inside the restaurant upstairs near the hostess stand while seating guests. I'm sorry but no. That completely turned me off. Overall, it has potential because of the location and views, but the service and experience need serious improvement.

    Tried Silver Social in Navy Yard and it's essentially a more elevated version of Silver Diner. The waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and patient, which made the experience better. The food was just okay it got the job done, nothing that really stood out. The location is right next to Nationals Park, so it's convenient, but it can get overcrowded pretty quickly depending on game day traffic, which definitely affects the overall vibe. I'm glad I tried it, but it'll probably be a while before I return. That said, I would recommend it as a solid option if you're heading to a game.

    First time there but I've had silver dinner. I thought this was a nice way to elevate your experience with it having a rooftop patio and the inside being a nice elegant atmosphere. The service was good but could've been better though it was busy.

    Lovely place above Silver Diner. Went here for the happy hour on a nongame day. They have a large bar and high tops to accommodate a number of people. Drinks were good. Nice variety of items at the same price point as surrounding places. Nice outside seating that overlooks the stadium. Good choice. I'd return for dinner.

    We came on a Saturday night and they have happy hour that starts at 9:30 on certain drinks for $8. I like that they have a mini size of the entree if you want something a little smaller. The bartender was slanging drinks but still attentive. My lobster pasta had a lot of flavor and I would order it again. I feel like there could have been more fingerling potatoes in the basket for $9 sheesh. Overall we enjoyed ourselves to conclude date night.

    I'm a fan of a silver diner anywhere so learning about their cocktail concept was a welcome surprise. Located in the navy yard on the 2nd floor of the diner, it has an upscale & cozy aesthetic with more intimate lighting & seating. I stopped by for cocktails and light bites with my family. Service was quick & polite. We ordered a round of cocktails that were delicious, an order of old bay potato chips (sublime! but not enough), the sliders were pretty good (Waygu & Crabcake) and the bacon/ricotta flatbread was interesting but ultimately an acquired taste of the good variety. This is a great option for quality cocktails and finger food in a casual dining.

    Came here with some friends just to grab a drink and I love their outdoor seating area! Nice views of the city and also covered which is a win. My friend got the sliders and loved it and I got the gin drink and loved it. Solid spot.

    Churro French Toast
    Shayla M.

    Went to silver social for brunch on a Sunday. The place was filling up since there was a local game playing. I was able to get a table outside. The waiter I had was friendly and made sure to check in. I ordered the churro French toast. Brioche bread, raspberries and a chocolate churro sauce. This was my first time trying and it was delicious.

    Old bay wings.

    Definitely enjoyable! Went here October 6, during the Chris Brown concert. At first it was iffy as we were sat but not attended to. I went up to the hostess stand to address it and possibly move. Two servers were up there talking and the hostess was on the phone handling a customer. Stood there patiently then one of the servers asked me if I needed something. I explained then he informed me that's what they were discussing and give them a moment. I didn't quite care for this interjection as I wasn't needing him nor did he even resolve the issue. The hostess got us together right as she got off the phone. Anyway, we got moved and attended by Evan. Evan has got to be one of the best servers I've had in such a long time. The food was great and Evan's recommendations were fantastic. I had just got the old bay wings. I'd go back in a heart beat for those. I do wish they offered fries and possibly changed up the menu. I've been here multiple times and after a while you kind of want to see new items. I'd say the prices are reasonable. On top of the wings, I ended up getting a martini and two (generous) pours of the Cabernet. Drinks were great all around.

    Went here on a Sunday, during a busy time when there was a concert at the national park. Went around 3:30 so in between dinner and brunch, they were just doing last call for brunch. We sat upstairs on the balcony overseeing the Navy yard and loved it. It did get a little warm but they have fans you can ask them to turn on if needed. Our waiter Carlton was a sweet heart and trying his best to manager a number of tables. We did have an issue where half of our table ordered around 3:45pm and didn't receive our food until 5:00pm. While folks at our table who showed up late around 4:15pm for their food about 20 minutes after and the table next to us who also ordered around the same time as our 4:15pm guests. Our table had 5 people so not big. Nonetheless the table had crab cakes, the CHIMICHURRI wings, the waygu sliders, the steak and chips, the hot honey wings, and CRISPY SMASHED FINGERLING POTATOES. Everyone loved their entree except the waygu sliders lacked flavor and seasoning. Everything else was super flavorful and tasty and we honestly can't wait to go again to try other items and take advantage of their bottomless cocktail on the brunch menu. Only gave four stars due to the timing of receiving our food but we are hopeful that next time we don't have to deal with the stress of our order not coming out within a reasonable time.

On Sundays, they only offer their bottomless brunch which has a selection of appetizers, entrée and deserts. We really liked their apps special call outs were sugar bacon, deviled eggs and spinach artichoke dip. The loaded nachos were nice too. Entrée portions were huge. Fried chicken a bit too oily and some what bland. Maryland crab cakes missed the mark. Deserts were small portions of ice-cream with brownie and cake. I would recommend them to add some unique options for deserts as well. The place was packed inside and absolutely no seating available. We felt lucky to have a seat outside.

We started with the steak nachos, and while the steak itself was really good, the nachos overall were a little below average. They just didn't have the flavor or balance I was hoping for. We also ordered the fish and chips, but they were very heavy and greasy, to the point where we decided not to finish them. For drinks, I had a margarita that was overly sour and not very enjoyable. My husband had an IPA on draft and said that was really good, so the beer selection may be the better route here. Unfortunately, the service was also not great, which made the overall experience feel a bit underwhelming. I could see this being an okay place to watch a game or grab a beer, but based on our visit, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back for the food or cocktails.
