Social House, Manchester, Vt

Pricing is on par with other restaurants in the area, but the the quality of food and service is superior. My wife and I started with a couple of drinks at the bar. I had the SOHO Heat. The SOHO infuses tequila with Jalapeño in house, and mixes it with pineapple and lime juice. The drink is both sweet and tangy with just a touch of heat. Delicious... one of the best drinks I have had in a while. My wife had the Drunkachino, whichn is like ordereing a spiked Frappuccino. My wife loved it. After drinks we moved to the dinning room. We started with the Provolenta or roasted provolone with garlic and seasoning served with sourdough bread. For my main course I had the Pan Seared Duck Breast with mashed sweet potato and green beans. My wife was torn between the pork chop and the 14oz New York Strip. She wanted the steak but preferred the sides that accompanied the pork. The waitress said that they would be happy to provide the steak with the arugula,fig and pear salad and the sweet potato fritters that came with the pork. So she ordered the steak. The entrees were 5 stars. Temperature, flavor, and tenderness of the meats were perfect. I highly recommend eating at the Social House.

Sweet potato fritters which came with the pork chop were one of the most delicious I have ever put in my mouth. The halibut fish special was amazing- cooked perfectly. The Mezza platter was lovely but with room for improvement I think.. could use some more herb and maybe some other type of cheese beyond just feta. The wait staff were very kind and attentive.

This restaurant is outstanding! I would give it 10 stars if I could ! What a great place. From the moment you walk thru the door you are greeted with “impeccable manners” & attention. The owner is hands on and it truly shows, The staff is top notch & courteous and guides you to make incredible choices for your dining. They make you feel like home . The selections on the menu were beyond are expectations & the atmosphere is very inviting. The food and drinks were incredibly delicious. Bravo Bravo …..as the “Social House” was absolutely an “amazing culinary experience”. . Highly recommend 💯

I was pleasantly surprised how good this place was. The food and service were excellent. We had the salmon moose and the shrimp pasta. Both were delicious. It is the small things that make it special. They had fresh baked bread to go with moose. The pasta was made in house. Jeremy our waiter was also pleasure. Look forward to coming back again soon.

September 2022: Social house has a large outdoor dining area. The downside of the outdoor dining here in late September is that the patio has several fire pits that are very smokey. The ash landed in the food and my eyes were burning. They looked pretty, but did not generate much heat. I did not like breathing it, and what the smoke was doing to my eyes. I liked the crispy half duck and flour-less chocolate cake. However, the appetizer of lobster rilette was disappointing. It was a mix of shredded lobster and shredded celery, onions, tomatoes. It did not have much lobster flavor. Overall, it was not what I expected. The service was nice and attentive. The overall rating is a weak 4 stars.
