There are too many great restaurants in NYC, if they do not treat customers with respect, why should anyone waste their time traveling to such an inconvenient location? ”
- “
would only go to this place with girlfriends, not for a romantic evening with my husband. ”
- “
The decor and vibe were fun and upbeat. ”

They recommend 2 to 3 dishes per person but it really isn't alot of food more than decor. ”

that said, the ambience was nice, if a little noisy. ”

It was supposed to be a nice romantic dinner. ”

It may be a great location for smaller groups and I would love to go back to be able to change this review- but very much doubt I will dare. ”

Service, food, and ambience were all fantastic. ”

Kind of dull but great for a romantic quiet dinner. ”
- “
This would be an ideal place for a fun dinner or a low-key night out with a charming bar just upstairs. ”
- “
Upstairs is much more casual and you may be seated as space is alloted, in other words sitting with people you don't know, which is fun too, but I'd suggest it for when you are in smaller numbers. ”
- “
Supreme service, attentive staff, fabulous food, gorgeous atmosphere. ”
- “
Also, the upstairs lounge is very cozy on a Saturday evening for a nightcap. ”

The food is great, the atmosphere is upbeat and entertaining, the service is pleasant and attentive. ”

The place looks wonderful, great setting and decor but the food was just average, nothing special and really it's just expensive tapas labeled as "share plates ”

The dim lights and wide space makes this restaurant great for groups or a romantic date. ”
- “
We sat back on their comfortable sofas and ordered a few appetizers to share. ”

The pretty decent quality of the food is uniquely disserved by the pretentiousness and unpleasantness of the patrons and clientele, the haughtiness of the managers, and the quasi-Meatpacking District ambience. ”

nice atmosphere playing generic loungy music. ”

Great food, great ambience, great drinks. ”

service is exquisite and the ambiance is super swanky ”

it's not a place to go for quiet conversation and the service was a little spotty, but the food is tasty, the atmosphere is fun, and the bill was very reasonable for the amount of food we got to taste. ”

romantic dinner ”

And the ambiance is pretty cool too - sort of an Asian 1940s deal. ”
- “
For the atmosphere, vibe and helpful waitress, it was a good value. ”
- “
The seating is lush and comfortable. ”
- “
nice atmosphere, but hard to hear anything-- the acoustics in the room are terrible! ”

Of course, the service is exquisite and the ambiance is super swanky. ”

The kobe burgers are fabulous as is the paella cakes, tuna tartare, duck empanadas, red snapper tacos and the ceviche was GREAT. ”

Their chocolate fondue consisted of a plate of cold chocolate with no fire. ”

As if this wasn't decadent enough, dessert was a true sensual experience: warm, sugar coated doughnuts with hot caramel and chocolate sauces for dipping, the chocolate smores cake with a warm liquid center, and a platter of homemade cookies complete with ”
- “
Do not get me wrong, this place is nice, the food was fine - just not worth it for me to go again, yet the desserts were GREAT - but that's about it. ”
- “
Just choose wisely (i.e. goat cheese ravioli and crab cake corn dogs - not so good; while chipotle shrimp and short rib tacos are great). ”
- “
We went with the server's recommendation and enjoyed the Warm donuts with three dipping sauces for dessert. ”

To top it off, after paying the $200 bill, my boyfriend and I were sipping on champagne and enjoying our dessert (enjoying ourselves since that huge party had finally left) when a manager came over and asked us to leave because another reservation needed ”

chocolate fondue dessert was the best! ”

Dont forget warm doughnuts and caramel for dessert! ”

Donuts were great for desert. ”

My friends and I also loved the perogis and the cookie plate. ”

the wine we had with our meal was good, but the waiter was extremely slow to refill our water and wine, and we had to call over different waiters nearly every time we needed something because our original waitress was nowhere to be found. ”
- “
we would order drinks and wait forever to get them--luckily for us, the waitress helped us pick a great bottle of wine and that problem was solved. ”
- “
The rude and arrogant host at the bar area said the wait would be "awhile" when we got there and would not put a time frame on the wait. ”
- “
Great drinks and good service. ”

Still seems like they are working out the kinks (long wait ven with reservation, etc.), but its a beautiful space with tasty drinks and pretty nice food. ”

The bar upstairs is a decent spot to wait for your table and the wait is usually short if you have a reservation. ”

My friend and I stopped by here without reservations and were sent upstairs to the bar area where you can order food. ”

The drinks were also quite good. ”

It's usually a pretty good bet that, when you step into a restaurant that has a great bar scene and is packed with good looking hipsters, that the food will be at best fine or pretty good. ”

We all went to the bar upstairs and had some delicious cocktails; Blood-Orange and Jalapeno margarita, and a Clemetine Orange Cosmo were the groups favs. ”

The drinks, though good, were also over-priced for the quality. ”

great good, great drinks, great ambiance ”

The bar lounge is nice upstairs, the bar itself is beautiful but then after you order drinks and find that it's $12 a piece you get turned off. ”

They also have a good variety of wines on their list. ”

My only good experience here was at the bar upstairs (not on a Saturday night). ”

It's a great place to go for dinner and/or drinks with a group of friends, not for couples though. ”

The Stanton Social is not a horrible place but it certainly does not warrant the popularity and hype it seems to have garnered, given the utter commonness of the food, the equally second-rate, amateur quality of the drinks and somewhat annoying service. ”

The ribs, french onion dumplings, meatballs and chicken cashew rolls and wine were all excellent. ”

Thanks, Stanton Social, for making food that's always been great just a bit better. ”

Here's what we ordered: Crab corn dogs- absolutely org*smic, Kobe burgers- I love kobe, and this was not kobe, burgers were very bland and salty (I had heard a lot about about them and was rather dumb founded), Goat Cheese Pierogies- so so, nothing great, ”

Empty plates were spread out for nasty suburbanites - while my food plate was thurst into my hands as if I was supposed to eat it on my lap! ”

service is exquisite and the ambiance is super swanky ”

Everything from the service to the quality of food-everything was terrific. ”

The Stanton Social is not a horrible place but it certainly does not warrant the popularity and hype it seems to have garnered, given the utter commonness of the food, the equally second-rate, amateur quality of the drinks and somewhat annoying service. ”

the food was ok, nothing jumped out at me, the space is beautiful and I mean beautiful but the service is horrendous and I mean really really bad. ”

Overall I'd say the food is excellent, the drinks are very well done, the staff is fun, the decor is lovely and the bathrooms are quite nice as well. ”

To top it off, after paying the $200 bill, my boyfriend and I were sipping on champagne and enjoying our dessert (enjoying ourselves since that huge party had finally left) when a manager came over and asked us to leave because another reservation needed ”
- “
Upstairs is much more casual and you may be seated as space is alloted, in other words sitting with people you don't know, which is fun too, but I'd suggest it for when you are in smaller numbers. ”

The drinks were strong and the meal tasty which was pretty much what we expected since the bartender was an old friend from Japonais Chicago and the food was well-reviewed by others. ”
- “
However, the service was absolutely horrible. ”
- “
The menu has a great variety and the idea of sharing small dishes is a perfect way to please a group of people with various tastes, diets, and appetites. ”
- “
If you're looking to impress people then go here, if you just want to enjoy a meal with fair prices. ”
- “
Just coz the place is famous does not give them the right to treat people in such an unacceptable manner. ”
- “
The manager didn't bother to come over to apologize. ”
- “
Trish, our waitress was really great - the food was mediocre. ”

The sea bass satays were also a disappointment--for 16 bucks the bass seemed of low quality, you only got three small bits, and the sauce was mediocre. ”

Good ambiance, Good food, too expensive, too loud ”
