"Social Eating House is a low-lit room that’s equal parts impressive and relaxed, with just a hint of that Soho buzz. No matter what you order from their modern European menu, you’re guaranteed to receive something that looks more like a Rothko than dinner. But trust us, just pop it in your mouth and you’ll be happy. If you’re looking to go all out, book a coveted seat at the chef’s counter to watch your hazelnut scallops and lamb with ricotta cream prepped directly in front of you. Any meal here should absolutely be rounded off with an expert cocktail at their upstairs bar, The Blind Pig." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
