The Scene
A high and mighty air prevails at this dressed-up Lower East Side eatery. The soaring main dining room makes an impression with its high tin ceiling, soft rounded banquettes and small back balcony framed by the restaurant's wine selection. Servers hover one moment and vanish the next.
The Food
The "fun" factor is high on the menu of experimental, multi-ethnic shared plates. Tender Kobe beef sliders, sweet chunky lobster rolls and mango-studded red snapper tacos look almost too cute to eat. And it'd be easy to become an oyster addict with the restaurant's Rockefeller, breaded, deep-fried and topped with bacon. For less-traditional fare, try the French onion soup dumplings--their liquid soup center bursts in the mouth--but steer clear of the confused beef short rib ravioli. Larger plates like the wasabi-pea salmon satisfy, but lack flair. For a simple finish, the piping hot sugar-coated doughnuts do the trick.

One of the BEST dining experiences ever in NYC! Went with some friends this weekend and will be talking about Stanton Social for a long time!! We did a "chef's tasting", if you will, and tried nearly the entire menu. I recommend ordering as much as your group can handle because every single bite, right down to dessert, is AMAZING!! A few suggestions... The ribs (the meat falls right off the bone), Kobe Sliders, and of course 'The Chocolate Tasting' for dessert. Service was impeccable, presenation perfected, atmosphere upbeat and fun. You will love this place! 5 STARS!!!!

It's a great place to go for dinner and/or drinks with a group of friends, not for couples though. The reason is that the music is extremely loud in the Restaurant area, which means that you have to shout at eachother or just eat in silence. Not a very good idea for a first date or romantic dinner. The food is very good, loved the "tapas" concept, but make sure you order about 3 dishes per person if you want to leave without feeling hungry.

The Extras:
Travel up a separate front staircase to the delicate bar with small antique hand mirrors on the wall, a green tile-topped bar and low Japanese-style seating.
Know Before You Go:
Though it is right next to the happily divey Arlene's Grocery, the restaurant attracts a hip, well-heeled crowd. Dressing the part is recommended.
Save Money:
Do check your cocktail bill because the bar rounds up the amount to the nearest dollar---you can ask for your change.
