It was great. Food very good. So sorry that it’s closing at the end of the month. Hope it reopens in 2027. It’s an institution it needs to be there.

We had a total of three drinks, and the two out of the three were wonderful, the third was good. The main space I would say was loud, but they have a back room that’s much quieter. The ambience was fabulous! The service was wonderful! And the food options were very creative and fun. The two food items we had missed the mark a little bit on quality and execution, but other than that, we had a great experience and would definitely come back!

Phenomenal food. We ordered drinks and entrees and loved everything. The Arctic Char, Short Rib, brussel sprouts were equally enjoyable. The atmosphere had a good vibe and the restaurant looks amazing post-reno. We were delighted when the Executive Sous Chef, José, came out to the table and shared insight into the flavors and ingredients. This was a memorable dining experience and we will be back. While located within the Sofitel New York, Social 45 has its own individual identity and is a destination. Thank you for such a great time!
