    Hummus and lamb
    Michael T.

    Got the veal meatball. Salmon and lentils. And brick chicken. Over the years I learned to customize these to be less salty and less greasy. When I emohaothese customizations they honor it and it tastes pretty good and this is why I keep coming back. Chicken is crispy yet not overly so. Lentils is sour but that's cool. Meatball is filling and flavorful. Salmon is nothing special but too dry. Overall food is good. Atmosphere is nice but I never dine in, lol. Service friendly.

    Truffle fries

    Really good food and drinks. Gluten free items weren't marked on the menu but the staff was knowledgeable and I had no reactions.

    I stopped by Social again as I've enjoyed their Christmas decorations over the years and it helps put you in the spirit. Marc C., the bartender, was informative and kind. I even witnessed him take the time to write out a quick punch recipe for another customer who asked him for a recommendation as she was hosting tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I really enjoy their warm chicken salad sandwich that apparently has made a return to the weekend menu after a long haitus unfortunately. Since today is a Wednesday, I tried a French dip for lunch which was delicious on a cold day. Great atmosphere during the holidays especially and please consider trying if you're out shopping in Birmingham as the small charming towns need the love too.

    Came here with a group for dinner and the food and overall atmosphere was very nice. Our server was so nice and very helpful with offering suggestions. I also had the truffle fries (not pictured) and they were so good. The salmon was good too however I would say if you have a salt sensitivity it may not be the best option as the vinaigrette dressing on the lentils is potent. Aside from that I would recommend and would return!

    We headed straight to The Social for brunch after landing at the airport. The vibe was lively, and it was a convenient stop to refuel after a flight. We ordered the full truffle fries as appetizer and honestly, they were the highlight of the meal. Crispy, flavorful, and generously seasoned. Highly recommend those! For entrees, we had the turkey burger and the croque madame. Both were just okay unfortunately, they were a bit too salty for my taste. For drinks, we got a Faux Loma and an iced latte which were both decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, not a bad experience, but aside from the fries, the food didn't quite wow us. Would maybe return just for drinks and fries next time!

    Attended Social Birmingham's pink event recently -- it was supposed to be on the rooftop but had to be moved inside due to the weather. They didn't miss a beat, though, with cute pink decor and a flower wall that made for the perfect backdrop. I ordered the Pretty in Pink drink (their version of a French 75) -- it came with pink cotton candy and was deliciously strong! The spinach dip was so flavorful and well-seasoned, definitely a standout. Service was excellent all night, and I'd absolutely recommend this spot!

    Kale Salad Full Truffle Fries
    Saige B.

    Food was good, truffle fries were also great. Alyssa was a great hostess, Jack was an inspiration to all, good conversationalist. The only problem I had with the ambiance was their outrageously obnoxious music they have playing at all times.

    Cute decor

    Food was delicious! But music was odd and loud. Also the light show did not sync up to the song. Our server Jack was the goat. Alyssa was the hostess with the mostest.

    Kale Salad - $14
    Elaine W.

    Good ambiance. Good service. Salad is decent but not amazing. Dressing is a little too much for my liking. Hard to finish due to the overtly sweet and sour taste. Only had brunch available so not many options on the menu for us.

    Skillet- scrambled eggs, ham and lots of veggies
    heather t.

    10/10 highly recommend brunch at the social! I love the skillets, you get to select all your options and don't forget to order the donuts! They taste like an elephant ear, so good. Very fresh and flavorful.

    Full Truffle Fries Avocado Dip

    Restaurant had a cool, modern feel. Food was great. The truffle fries were amazing, but the avocado dip was so unique and unexpected. We both got the Middle Eastern themed dishes and my chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We did ask the appetizers to be brought out first though and they brought out entrees literally two minutes later, which is kind of frustrating when you want to enjoy your appetizers. Service was also a little slow and impersonal. But overall would return.

    I tend to exaggerate my feelings for particular restaurants when I enjoy a good meal there…read more(especially when I'm hungry). But Zana is easily one of the better fine dining experiences I've had in the state of Michigan. It also helped that I had dinner with some close friends who I haven't had many opportunities to spend time with in recent memory. The restaurant is located in downtown Birmingham, so by default it has to deliver on every front. It has such a beautiful and spacious dining area that makes you feel like you're at a VIP party. The menu is not lacking in options, with pretty much all the types of items you would expect from an upscale establishment. The oysters were so fresh, the harissa shrimp was outstanding, and my lamb chops were cooked to absolute perfection. We shared a lot of items, so we got a good idea of what this place offered and I don't think anyone in our party were disappointed. We ended up splitting the bill evenly between all of us and were surprised that we didn't spend more money. Zana really left a good lasting impression on us, so I hope that we will be just as satisfied when we make a return.

I inquired about a drink another guest had, and the server said it was a mocktail that had white peach, strawberry, and coconut. I was disappointed because I have a coconut allergy, but the server immediately offered to bring me one without coconut. Appetizers were set on the banquet tables, and we could help ourselves. The shrimp were MASSIVE and they also had raw oysters served with them. They offered multiple sauces on the side for them. They also had dishes with cured meats, cubed cheese, and grape on the table. The dinner was served buffet style. All of the food was hot in the serving dishes. I was able to sample each of the offerings: Mediterranean crunch salad, sweet and spicy calamari, roasted vegetables, roasted potatoes, vodka rigatoni, Alfredo rigatoni, grilled chicken, salmon, and filet mignon. I am not personally a big fan of pasta or red sauce, but the spicy vodka rigatoni was AMAZING. the Alfredo rigatoni and roasted potatoes were also great. I do think that the roasted vegetables would have benefited from some seasonings, and the salmon could have used a sauce or additional seasonings. The grilled chicken was personallyt favorite protein. The filet mignon did have some pink in the middle, but it was still a bit on the dry side. During dessert they brought out trays of mini desserts to each table. At this time the server who had taken my drink order hours early came to my table and brought me a giant portion of mango sorbet. He told me that he didn't know if I could eat any of the desserts, so he verified that the mango sorbet did not have any coconut in it and brought some for me. It was so nice!!! He remembered a comment I had made hours earlier, and unprompted brought my own allergy free dessert. I wish I had gotten his name! It really made my night. I will definitely be back in the future! The lighting was intimate , the service was spectacular, and the spicy rigatoni was great.

It's always a busy time for establishments, especially when it comes to holidays, but we repeatedly kept getting seated and "unseated" (the hostess would seat us, but then take us back to common area as the tables were either dirty or not ready). I didn't personally care about this, but I definitely noticed my party getting a bit frustrated by the experience as it happened about 4 times before we officially got seated, which also exceeded our initial reservation time. The service itself was okay. I wish they would've come around a bit more as we were out of water while eating our meal, but I know it was super busy that day!! I ended up getting the soft shell crab sandwich and it was pretty good! I think it would be even tastier with more sauce on the bun, but overall a nice pick. I also tried the lobster bisque; it had a nice texture with the little lobster bits, but found it overly salty. Hush puppies were a nice, crispy texture and I loved the sweet butter with it! One thing I absolutely loved about this experience was the mother's day flower pop-up stand! The cutest way to walk in and support another local business.
