I love everything about Amélie--the food, the ambience, the service--but I'm always thrilled to get the check, emerging from a battered French paperback. Completely charming and effective.

What a wonderful night. We went for our second anniversary, and they sat us at a table away from the crowd. Our server was also wonderful and even provided us with a complementary glass of wine.

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!
