Foodie Review: Social 45 – Craft Kitchen & Bar by: Jimmy O’s
This was my first time here. The hubby and I decided to go after seeing the latest Captain America movie at the Emagine movie theater nearby.
When we arrived, we were so surprised there was so many people. It had a bar and party atmosphere. Well on our way to the seats, we overheard one of staff tell some guests next to our table apologizing for the wait, but they are understaffed today.
This was on Thursday, February 13th, and I believe a lot of people were out celebrating Valentine’s Day early, like we were. Anywhoo, there was a large gathering at the back of the restaurant, so I told my husband if we have to keep waiting, we may have to go to another restaurant.
After 10 minutes we finally got water, but it wasn’t until another 30 minutes we were asked for our order. Literally as my husband was about to call North and Maple to see what was the wait time at their restaurant, a waitress came and took our order.
We ended up ordering:
* Fried Chicken Bites w/garlic parmesan and ranch sauces
* West Coast Smash Burger included avocado and bacon
* Grilled Rib Eye Steak sandwich – on a garlic roll with a side of grilled onions and mushrooms
* Truffle Fries
West Coast Smash Burger
Our food came at a decent time. We really enjoyed the fried chicken bites, the sandwiches were a different story. Both the hubby and I felt the sandwiches were bland. He said if it wasn’t for the bacon, he wouldn’t have finished it. I only ate half of my sandwich. We both liked the truffle fries that came with our sandwiches.
I asked the waitress for a side of the garlic parmesan sauce to take home with the 1/2 of rib eye sandwich that I didn’t finish. That was an extra $0.50 charge, but that’s okay.
When I ate the other 1/2 of sandwich the next day, it tasted glorious with that sauce. I was like why aren’t they including this sauce on the sandwich! It’s a missed opportunity!
