I've been several times. I love it. But I'm young. I'm ok with loud atmosphere's.
Drinks are great. Different. Food is also great IMO. Probably my favorite spot in Lafayette. Although I haven't been to Ruffino's yet

ETA: I did a review on it a few weeks ago on here.

Haa. I've heard from people 40 and older that didn't really care for the place since it was loud and can have a long wait. But I also know several that love it.
I can never describe the "type" of food they have. I always struggle with it.
Here is my review.. Long but I don't care. Also photobucket doesn't like me right now so no pics.. Review

ETA: Here is there menu. Mostly made for sharing, hence the name "social". But they're main entree's are big portion and good.
Menu

I've seen a few older people get turned away because everything was "reserved".

Just my $0.02

For realz??
I've never seen that. I've seen older people wait and get a table eventually. I was also waiting so they weren't being discriminated against.

Just go Count. Go for lunch one day or early at like 5.

No. It wouldn't be the clothes......











but seriously, the food's good. Only time I went was a Friday in Lent, so I had the shrimp and polenta. So said, they have a great fried smoked chicken (like La Fonda), but I haven't figured out how order that when I go out to eat.

I've tried about half of the menu and everything I've had is great. Definitely recommend it.

Lafondas might be a better place to drink, but the food is a landslide.

I have been with my wife and we loved it

The fried chicken is fantastic.

It is one of those places where you go with a group, everybody sits around, drinks and picks at food. It isnt really a standard restaurant so the tables turn over really slowly.
