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…

Great food, strong drinks
by MealSchpeal com
Nearly a decade slithered by since Dinner Bitch last complained about New York. It was the best of times and it was the worst of times. But now the time comes not to complain but compliment.
Before packing up for the jaunt home, we went to this little place in SoHo for a parting bite. 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. The prices were right too. Ordinarily, this level of accomplishment is insufficient to provoke a strong opinion from anyone but the most devoted zealot. Save one item.
That first French Onion Soup Dumpling was the best thing to have ever oozed into my mouth. There, it exploded with a broth so flavorful my eyes rolled back into my pleasured skull and my nose lifted toward the ceiling in search of warmer air to suck over short-circuited taste-buds. It was amazing; as was the rest of it. But just like the second third and fourth orgasm of the evening, the later bites were mere refinements of the first.
If you inexplicably find yourself at 99 Stanton Street NY NY you should probably stop drinking so much but not before you order those French Onion Soup Dumplings and have a loud obnoxious tongue orgasm at the table.
- Pros: French Onion Soup Dumplings!
- Cons: I'll find one next time.

Tha BEST
by AshSampsonite1
I'm just getting into this reviewing thing, but I knew I wanted to start with my favorite restaurants. I love Stanton Social to the ends of the earth!!!! It has been my go-to place when I want to impress friends from out of town or catch up with my girls. The food is always good and if you get there early or make a reservation, its really not too annoying how crowded it is.
- Pros: Best place to go with girlfriends
- Cons: Busssssy

AMAZING FOOD AND DRINKS!
by cc938
Every dish we ordered tasted wonderful. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We had Kobe beef sliders, Tuna with wasabi, some pizza dish and others.They were all VERY GOOD.If you have a large group, they cut everything into smaller pieces so everyone can share. Would definitely go back! But make sure to make reservations as they get really packed!
- Pros: Great food & drinks, great service
- Cons: A little pricy but totally worth it
The Details on The Stanton Social
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.
