The Social NPR

Horrible Experience — Very Disappointing The atmosphere was nice, but unfortunately the service and overall experience were not. We had to ask multiple times for napkins and our drinks, and eventually I had to get up and grab them myself. The food was okay for the most part, but my order was incorrect. I specifically asked for no mashed potatoes, yet they were still placed on top of my chicken (not on my plate), and I replaced the madh with onion rings. When I mentioned this to the waitress, I didn’t receive any response or attempt to fix it. My friend’s carrots were also burnt. We understand that some were purple carrots, but the orange ones had black spots all over them. When I asked about it, the waitress became rude and insisted they were “tricolored carrots” that were supposed to look that way, which did not seem accurate. My friend ended up not eating them at all out of concern. We came here hoping to enjoy a kid-free lunch and some quality girl time, but unfortunately left wishing we had chosen a better place. Very disappointing experience.

The Social in New Port Richey has a fun and energetic vibe, and it’s definitely one of the trendier places in the area. The atmosphere is lively with good music, stylish decor, and a crowd that’s clearly there to have a good time. It’s the kind of spot that feels perfect for a night out with friends or a casual date. That said, the biggest downside for me was the drink prices. The cocktails looked great and were well presented, but for what you’re paying, they just didn’t deliver the quality or strength you’d expect. It felt like the prices were geared more toward the aesthetic and less toward the actual experience. A few of the drinks tasted watered down, and at over $11 each, that’s a bit hard to justify — especially considering there are other local bars that serve similar drinks for much less. The service was friendly overall, though a bit slow once the place got busy. It’s clear the staff works hard, but the crowd size seemed to overwhelm them at times. Still, everyone was polite and accommodating once they made it to your table. Overall, The Social has a lot going for it — nice setting, good energy, and a great crowd — but the overpriced drinks make it tough to call it a great value. I’d go back for the atmosphere, but probably stick to beer or simpler drinks next time.

Fabulous way to spend a sunny afternoon. Old Town is very lovely and parking plentiful. Food was good, tasty and large sandwiches. Awesome selection of breakfast items until dinner hours. Bottomless Mimosas and Bloody Mary s for $20 until 3 p.m. on Sunday when we were there.
