Midtown Social Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Atlanta

This was my very first time at this restaurant and I guarantee it will be my last. When we walked in and was seated, we had our drinks taken by one server then another young lady came over and asked who did we place our drinks with they had a conversation next thing you know we saw one of the girls leaving the restaurant with her stuff. Our server came back to the table and said she had to go to Management and let Management know that this was her table. I did not think it was appropriate for her to tell us what happened between them too, but it was fine. She became our new server. We ordered drinks which took forever. I ordered a bottomless mimosa and was charged for a bottomless mimosa, but only receive one glass. She never brought my refill. Pretty much all of the guest at our table ordered the French toast combo which on the menu states four pieces of French toast however, everyone at the table was only served three pieces of French toast. Food was coming out extremely late to the point where a manager was running food and bringing food out to the tables faster than the servers could. We did speak to the manager regarding the French toast. She stated they are cooking French toast now and everyone will get another piece of French toast. We waited to the point where our food was pretty much cold and then we just decided to eat instead of waiting on a French toast that by the way, never came. 45 minutes later into still waiting for another mimosa the Service said to me that she doesn’t make the food and she doesn’t make the drinks. She can only get them when they’re ready. I explained to her that I understand that but your attitude as well is not great and she walked away from the table once again. She never gave us her name. She barely came back to check on us. The manager came to our table more times than the server did throughout the entire time we were there. Overall, our Waitress attitude sucked to the point where I don’t wanna go back food was not correct from what the menu says. I was charged for something that I did not receive and at the end of the day we all agree we were not going to tip because the service was so bad now the server could not get us. Our order correct could not bring us. Our drinks out could not do anything, but she overheard us say she will not be tipped and she made sure to tell us that the tip is already included so she’s gonna get her’s regardless Again I think that is disgusting. I can assure you if the Tip was not included she definitely would not have received one. But I would definitely love for the general manager to give me a call or reach back out to me because I definitely want to pursue this...

So we came today as part of the restaurant's grand open, my sister was an a acquaintance of two the owners and invited to come celebrate the opening. Full transparency, we had a reservation for 2:00, got to the restaurant bu 2:15. There was no hostess because apparently she wouldn't be at the restaurant until 4pm. So we pretty much stood around at the front entrance waiting to be seated. The staff stated they had a large party of 14 people that they were trying to seat, moving the couch from one dining to the outside tent(which is odd that you wouldn't have seating arrangements for a large party set in place to prevent having multiple patrons waiting to be addressed let alone seated). Wee were "seated"until around 2:30 when we asked if we could seat ourselves. We placed drink and food orders at 2:58. Approximately 20 minutes later the waitress came stated they were behind with our drink orders and apologized for the wait. 15 minutes later she came out with 2 of the 3 drinks orders and stated the bartender was still making my drink(midnight special). Additional time goes by, between 3:20 to 3:51 we still hadn't received our food but noticed patrons that came 30 minutes or more after us, received their food. By 4:15 we requested the waitress to cancel our food order and we'd pay from the drinks and also to speak with the manager. Instead they brought out the food and it wasn't until we stated again that due to waiting almost 2 hours for our food, we wished to cancel the order. The GM came over, apologized and stated they would not charge us for drinks. The owner came out to the parking as we were leaving to speak to us about our dining experience and did offer for us to come back to the restaurant at a later date.

The atmosphere itself was good nice decor, great dj, and we enjoyed our drinks but everything was...

I definitely recommend and will be coming back for sure! Perfect brunch spot.

FOOD: phenomenal, I ate everything and it didn’t feel too heavy. I ordered the salmon fritters and grits. Everything hit for me! It’s rare I can eat my whole meal and not feel the need to unbutton my pants when I leave (luckily my pants today were stretchy😂). The grits lacked a bit of salt for my preference, but the sauce on the fritters made up for it and I didn’t have to add anything.

DRINKS: I ordered 2 lemon drops and a water. I will say I know this is Atlanta, but having to pay for water is wild to me cause I can drink tap water lol. Unfortunately I had to pay almost $4 for a smart water. The lemon drops were delicious, I was able to change out vodka to tequila and they have a good choice list. We also ordered a lychee martini and it was my first time and even learning what lychee was - unfortunately it’s the time they did not have any lychee to decor the drink so couldn’t try those.

VIBE: super chill, laid back, they had a DJ playing some music. This was about 130pm so it may get lit later in the evening but this was perfect for brunch. Cute aesthetic indoor and outdoor seating. One recommendation I’d say is they have a full body mirror for pictures but it’s located right between the two bathroom doors. Very inconvenient if you wanna take photos because the bathrooms are for one person, so you’ll have people waiting outside the doors and it’s just an odd spot for a photo opp. Maybe place a small body mirror in the bathrooms themselves as well.

As for pricing, I thought it was well priced! For food, 2 alcoholic drinks, and unfortunately my water - my bill was $67.

But honestly overall I 10/10 recommend this spot! The service was great and everyone I encountered (our waitress and a chef who checked on us)...
