Located in a strip mall in Glenview, one would not expect such expansive space that is well decorated. They offer a relatively small menu but everything on it is well presented and quite delicious. Despite having on one server attending a … More

Our server, Gaspar, was excellent. He was very attentive and asked the chef to confirm their vegan items and options. I had the linguine with tomato sauce and added broccoli. The food was fresh, flavorful, and abundantly garlicky. More

I recently had lunch at Social Inn with my niece, and I must say, it’s such a cute place! The ambiance is lovely, and the entire restaurant is impressively clean. Now, I usually focus on the quality of the food in my reviews, and I’m happy to report that the food here was excellent! I particularly enjoyed my salad; it was fresh and delicious. Our waiter was also very polite and attentive, which added to the overall pleasant experience. However, I want to advise future diners to double-check their receipts before leaving. When I got home, I noticed that I was charged $40 for adding extra chicken to my salad, which seemed a bit excessive. Overall, the food and atmosphere were fantastic, but just keep an eye on your bill before you head out.

Nothing brings people together like good food.
Social Inn does just that. Got to love a fabulous restaurant where you can have a lovely escape from reality or get down to business with great food. Branka was such a pleasure and helped us pick our amazing goodies to nosh on.

Tucked away in a strip mall, this restaurant is a hidden gem that exceeded my expectations. The sophisticated ambience transported me to a high-end city establishment, while the exceptional service made me feel like a valued regular. But the real star of the show was the food – exquisite flavors and expertly prepared. Daily special fish was fresh and had a perfect cook. Burger is decent enough. The social board with fresh warm pita and variety of dippings was flavorful. Don't let its suburban location fool you – this restaurant is a great date night place, a special family dinner or even a chill lounge to have drinks with a buddy or read a book.

Delicious! It was our first time dining at Social Inn and we came to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding.
We shared the French Creamy Cheese Bites for an appetizer - the creamy cheese coated in corn flakes with a blueberry jam were delicious!
My two boys both got pasta dishes that they enjoyed (note - there is no separate kids menu, but three items are marked as “kid friendly” on the menu). My husband enjoyed the duck breast and I enjoyed the Rigatoni with Sausage (the sausage is homemade at the restaurant).
Since it was my husband’s birthday, they brought out a complementary dessert - Blueberry Swirl Scoops. It tasted like Blueberry cheesecake. Wonderful!
We will definitely be back!

I chose this restaurant for a friend’s birthday dinner because of its cozy atmosphere.
However, we waited over 20 minutes without anyone coming to take our order. We had to go up to the counter three separate times to ask for service, and at one point we were ready to leave for another restaurant if no one came to our table.
Although I understand weekends can be busy, there seemed to be very little serving staff, and the overall service was quite disappointing.
We were tired from the long wait and unfortunately couldn’t fully enjoy what was meant to be a special birthday dinner.

Just left Social Inn in plaza del prado. Fabulous meal, service and ambiance. Our server, Marlo, was outstanding. His wine recommendations were excellent and our drinks were great. 3 of us had the kabobs - shrimp and chicken - and the food was delicious. I had the best prepared salmon I have had in a long time. Grilled to perfection. The sautéed spinach was wonderful and the oven roasted potatoes were perfect. We ended with the tasteful gelato - chocolate and hazelnut. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere is calm with lovely choice of music. We will return and I highly recommend you try it. We eat out a lot ( I am not a great cook) and have been increasingly disappointed lately but tonight … an awesome experience!
