Social House — Restaurant in Jakarta

Went here for christmas lunch. We ordered: mentaiko pasta with king prawn (155k) soho smashed burger (160k) american cheeseburger (150k) carnivore pizza (155k)

pasta was percectly cooked but we can barely taste anything other than the overpowering shrimp paste/terasi. soho smashed burger was the best out of everything that we ordered. buttery bun, perfectly charred patties, great dipping sauce, okay side dish (cajun fries). however, i found at least 4 bone pieces in my patties. they were small enough for you to notice but big enough to hurt your teeth.

They let you choose the doneness of your patty for your american cheeseburger. dad asked for welldone but they got us med-well. Sidedish was potatochips. This one is also okay. They served the carnivire pizza with fair amount of toppings, grilled to perfection, right amount of chewiness on their dough, and hollow crust. However for the price that we paid the portion was rather small.

Beverage (flavored iced tea) was so-so. pinacolada (65k) was awful, coconut milk was separated, istg it tasted like es buah pinggiran.

I tried to raise the issue about the bone pieces to the waiter when we were about to pay our bills. The waiter asked us to wait while they investigate (?) this problem. I heard one of them said “lah daritadi dia ga manggil gua” ??? Well i just wanted to address my complain. After 20-30 mins they finally came back and apologized then offered a discount on the total bill. Then they left us hanging for another 20 mins or so until I asked them to give us the bills, ffs we just want to settle the bill and leave. I forgot to mention they let you wait for a very long time for a dish to be served. Every dish takes half an hour on average. Idk if its bc it was packed due to peak season.. or they are just slow. They finally gave us 10% on the food that we ordered. Definitely not...

Social House is a stylish “all-day dining + lounge + wine bar” concept operated by the Ismaya Group.  It is designed to cater for a wide range of occasions — from breakfast or lunch to late-night drinks. 

⸻

Ambience & Interior It features a spacious layout split into main dining, lounge, and bar / winepost / wine display areas. Design elements lean toward industrial chic + natural touches: wood (timber panels, wooden furniture), exposed concrete or steel, and accents of greenery or “soft” elements to balance the raw materials. 

In daytime, the space feels airy and open; in the evening, it transitions into a warm, ambient environment suitable for conversations and socializing. 

Capacity is fairly generous — some sources mention up to ~120 people. 

⸻

Food, Drinks & Menu Highlights Offers international cuisine with a broad selection — Western, Asian, comfort food, sharing plates, etc. 

They also promote having 300+ wine choices (wine shop / winepost concept) to accompany meals. 

Recent menu revamps emphasize comfort food and familiar flavors in a refined presentation. 

We had the fish and also roast chicken, both were good! My cocktails were very good!!! 

⸻

Service is generally praised as friendly, attentive, mindful.

I think their price is quite reasonable. I’ll be back again.

Oh! Please do not forget to request for non smoking seatings if u are a non smoker. I didn’t like where we sat because it smells too much of people smoking.

Other than that, everything’s great!! They have live band at 9pm too - not sure if it...

I've come here many times for birthday occasion, meeting with clients, family lunch time and also hang out with friends at weekend. For starter I always have nachos El loco which good with avacado+cream, jalapeno & cheese my suggestion need a bit more chill corn carne. but it's recomended for shraing. Wangyu Beef Tongseng which rich of coconut beef broth and the beef it's quiet tender. Metaiko Spagetti, not recommend if you don't really like fish, it's too fishy smell. Creamy Mushroom chicken was great, meat tender and flavorful, the potatoes was fluffy and soft. the Pork ribs (forgot the detail name) it's 500 gram bone and pork, it's good taste but the pork it's smaller rather the bone, so when I finished this food, I'm still hungry. Most favorite menu: first, Korean BBQ beef which Us chuck short ribs which great sauce with some onions. The sauce taste it's unique. Second also the Crispy Pork Belly bumbu Bali with sambal kecap &merah, this local taste with good combination of sambal really recommend and also it came with red rice. The pork it's juicy and only have few fat layer. Beverage, the grandma ice tea, it's good tea and a recommend if you here. My Favorite dessert it's the Nuttella chocolate cake and also Tiramissu. Tiramissu becuase it has bitter taste it's make it good combination. Cheesecake lover will love it. This place it's good for everything even the staff nice and full of infomation...
