Social House - Manchester

We were a party of 20 people, 09/04, Sunday night. Server was funny and friendly. Meals were more than good, mine in particular was excellent. Good beer, good wine. Though what a surprise when we received our bills to see a 25% gratuity. It’s like we’re 4 and paid for 5! Ridiculous! I understand we were a group, but damn it, 25% is way too much. 18% seems to be the new standard, we would have agreed to that. Worst thing is when we made our reservation, nobody informed us of that fact. If we would, we could have got to another restaurant, or if we’d decided to keep our reservation, at least we’d be informed. We found it to be on the insane side.

One of the best dining experiences ever ... PERIOD!!! By any standard, by any location in the world, by any expectations. The food Executive Chef Jose Valines displays is simply phenomenal. The passion, the flavors, the techniques... you would think you landed at a Michelin starred restaurant in New York City, or Miami, or Tokyo, you name it, not in the small town of Manchester, Vermont. The service, the food, the ambiance are memorable. Thank you Social House for this beautiful dinner.

Great food, lovely outdoor dining space, friendly service. Definitely recommend.

Our meals were just perfect and so was the service! We eat gluten free and they offered so many options it was hard to choose. They also brought us wine samples to taste. We sat outside and it was just lovely.

Delicious food! Wonderful outdoor seating! Krislyn blessed us with amazing service and sweetness!
