Amazing! Came here for a work meeting expecting to be ordering chips because that’s usually the only vegan option, but the chef made the most delicious black rice risotto, one of the best meals I’ve had! Please add it to the menu as I would never have thought to try this place otherwise! 10/10 service also �
The food was exquisite!! Our mouths were watering just reading the menu!! We ordered too much food and this was helpfully brought to our attention by wait staff who suggested half charcuterie platter. The food was so delicious!! Amazing flavours. Staff were super friendly and there was a cool relaxed vibe in the whole place. Loved it and will be back!!
Excellent tapas, great cocktails and a good wine list. Jen was very helpful with the menu and was so friendly and efficient. The Asahi-battered oysters were delicious, the Charcuterie Plate was enough for three of us and the bread was fabulous. We loved the soft shell crab with Asian herbs, especially as one of our Party has an allergy to coriander so they served the salad separately for two of us. The half Barossa Valley Chicken was juicy and flavoursome and the side of green beans with toasted almonds perfectly matched. We shared dessert of the Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter Marquise and the Pannacotta - amazing freeze-dried Mandarin! I’m a local and will definitely make this one of my regular places!
I totally recommend a visit to Social, it's best aspects are hard to narrow down as everything was top notch from our perspective. Menus is showy but accessible - one stand out is the asparagus/hen egg/Parmesan seriously good and a complimentary set of flavour and texture to add to our outstanding mains. Our service was exemplary - attentive, yet non intrusive and obliging. Thank you to everyone for a wonderful date night on the GC, we will be back for your amazing cheeses!
We visit Social every time we come down the Goldie. It has to be one of the best restaurants on the Coast. The service is always spot on, the atmosphere great and the food sublime.
Amazing in every way! Being seated at the kitchen bar turned out to be the best seat in the house. It was incredible to watch this well run kitchen in operation. Chef is inspiring - charismatic and involved with every single, (delicious!!) dish!
Amazing food and exceptional service. Cannot rate this place highly enough- thanks for a great night!
Have eaten here many a time and am never disappointed .. thank you George and your amazing staff for the wonderful food and service as usual.. finally had dessert today and all I can say is OMG.. A huge thank you for making Mikayla's 18th a special day and a special thank you to Elsa for taking great care of us today��
Just enjoyed a lovely dinner. The slow cooked lamb was easily the star dish, however we couldn’t fault any of our dishes. The service was also exceptional, Jessie our waitress was excellent!
Great place, great atmosphere, great wine, great food and great staff. OVERALL REALLY GREAT, thanks for enjoyable dning experience on 2/6/2018.
Beautiful food, excellent wait staff and the young gentleman behind the bar was so knowledgeable and a great flair in providing the drinks.
What an amazing night. Squeezed us in last minute and absolutely amazing service from all staff. I would highly recommend dinner here next time you're on the gold coast. I know i definitely will be back.
Very good dining place, with simple and elegant decoration, first class plates and glasses, delicious food and professional staff.
GIN is a must order at this place. They are specialised in gin so help yourself with a glass of gin and tonic to kick start the meal.
We ordered oysters -
Charcuterie (prosciutto)- tastes amazing and love the bread that come along. Portion size is fairly big even for a medium platter sharing between 2
We waited 30 minutes for our mains - the quail and some green beans, which I thought was way too long - perhaps the kitchen missed the order? Quail was ok I find it lack a bit bland and portion size was very small. The green beans with almond was delicious.
The mango sticky rice with panda ice-cream - my favourite dish of the night! It reminds me of time in Thailand. Lovely sitting outdoor enjoy some summer breeze.
One of the best pork belly i've ever tasted. Very friendly staffs. Location easily reachable. Nice and cozy place to have your dinner. Highly recommended. Michelin star resto to me.
Best cocktails on the Gold Coast as long as Sam is making them. The food was also amazing, Cleese platter and roasted artichoke dish was amazing.
Great food accompanied with amazing staff. Cheers to the Italian lad who served us with both detail and enthusiasm. Would definitely recommend this place any day.
Nothing to criticise about this place! Best chacuterie platter I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The arancini balls are superb and I would definitely recommend the chicken as it’s really soft and also super generous in portion size! I had the melon martini which not only tasted great, but is also really photogenic (refer to pic). 10/10 would most definitely recommend if you are going to Broadbeach!
We booked for a table on passing for that evening.
When we arrived later we had a table outside. I preferred an inside table and stated we were disappointed. Within 5 minutes we were accommodated inside.
All the food was absolutely fantastic. The 1/2 kg shared lamb was outstanding in texture and taste.
All all times the staff acknowledged us and engaged in conversation. Very friendly. As we left every waiter or waitress thanked us when we passed. Many restaurants could learn from the terrific training the staff have received here
We will definitely return again and again. It’s quality , presentation and service with a smile. Well done - you are the best in town !!
The service and food was amazing! We shared the Roast Chicken, Octopus then finished with a delicious Cannoli Cheesecake. We will be back for sure!
FOOD = 4.5
AMBIENCE = 4
SERVICE = 4.5
A cool place to hangout for drinks and if you fancy a meal, the food here is a real delight. Skillfully prepared and presented dishes amaze the sight, and as you take a bite, a whole new level of excitement takes over. The flavours are so well created and layered, with multiple textures that just come together so well. One of the great establishments on the gold coast, love coming back here.
Wow - the seafood here was to die for! The oysters, scallops and barramundi were highlights of the meal. Also enjoyed ribs, oysters, olives & prawns. I will definitely be coming back. Excellent service too.
Fantastic food, service and vibes. Had the lamb it was delicious, great bar and drinks selection as well. Will definitely be back to test out some more of the menu!
I loved everything about our night at Social Eating House and Bar. It was my sons 8th birthday and the staff made sure that it was something special for him at every turn. That aside the staff are friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The food is delicious, interesting and is a picture on the plate. If you are in Broadbeach stop in, you won’t be disappointed!
Rocked up about 6pm without a booking and staff were very welcoming and seated our party of 2 immediately, once confirming that they may have the table back at 8pm. Service was friendly, polite and attentive. Never once did we feel rushed. Food was amazing. My favourite was the kingfish and snapper tartare which was one of the specials today.
Literally one of the best meals I’ve ever had. We ordered the 1kg of 12 hour slow cooked lamb - unbelievable. The mushrooms were absolutely to die for. And the baguette bread and the butter is literally insane 😍 the food came out within 10 mins which was so good! we had a lovely British waiter and they even let us split the bill at the end! Will definitely be back. We are from Melbourne and this definitely lived up to our Melb foodie standards!
Amazing! Food was absolutely perfect and so was the service, can’t recommend this place enough! Also prices were really good for the quality of food, staff and the area.
Seriously could not fault this place! We attended for a quick wine and antipasto before catching up with friends - the staff were friendly, made conversation and great suggestions for wine and food. We had the half serving of the charcuterie platter with some wine and cider - the cider was especially delicious and the meats were incredibly fresh and unlike any we’ve tried. We were so impressed with the service that we thought we’d try again for dinner. My gosh - wow! It’s so rare to find a spot where every element of a dish is flawless... We had some risotto balls (ordered more after tasting how good they were!) and an incredible tuna sashimi served on house made rice cracker.. flavour combos were unreal!!! Try the salt bush lamb shoulder.. shredded in front of you by the waiter and melts in your mouth. Dessert and sides were also perfect. Thanks guys! Wish we lived in the Gold Coast so we could soak up more of this beauty x
Saturday night @ the Social had a fantastic atmosphere, all the staff were passionate & knowledgeable offering great service!
The food was beautifully presented & we had a great night with our group.
Unfortunately as vegetarians they offer miniscule options so we had a tasty side serving of beans with blanched almonds and a leafy salad.
Loved the look of the grilled barramundi (perfect choice... but...) unfortunately it's coated with chicken fats - that confused me.
Loved the Expresso Martini(s) & the wine. Helped me forget that we left hungry 😎
Wow! We came here for lunch on our last day on the Gold Coast and wished we had discovered it earlier. Very relaxed atmosphere with great service and amazing food. We ate oysters, wagyu braesola, scallop sashimi, chargrilled octopus and wagyu cap; and loved every single dish. 5 well derserved stars from me!
Great Value Banquet, really delicious food and a great wine list. Exceeded my expectations. A great spot for a group dinner. Loved the Zucchini flowers, fried chicken, prawns, the Roast beef and also the cream brûlée was amazing. Will be back for sure.
This place is fabulous. The moment you walk through the doors you are greeted with warmth. The food, can’t fault it at all. We had the eye fillet steak, Pork Belly and Octopus . The presentation amazing, when they bring it to your table they describe what’s on the plate. A must place to go to. Great range of wines too
Outstanding place to wine and dine. Food is some of the best you will find and service is top notch.
Always warm and welcoming, with a warm feeling through the place.
Had the 14 hour slow cooked lamb with slaw, a side of chat potatoes and tomato, mint and mozzarella. Lamb was incredible and the sides supported it well.
Food is a little pricey, expect about $50-$60 a head without drinks. But all in all, well worth the price.

I meant to explore this one-hatted restaurant for while and eventually arranged a Sunday dinner there last week. Arrived spot-on at 6:00pm and was the first table of the night. Our table was reserved near the window and it was so amazing to see the change of this area with more high-rise building around. First of all, we have to say "thanks" to the friendly waitress who looked after us on that night and gave us appropriate advice for our orders. We chose a few dishes to share between us in tapas styles. The first to the table was the Fried Oyster, which came very quick. Love the tempera oysters, which were deep-fried with crispy and light batter and matched well with the wakame and touches of wasabi (4.5/5). Second to the table was the House Charcuterie Plate, we took the advice from the waitress to order 1/2 serving and that proved absolutely right because the portion was really generous with varieties of charcuterie like jarmon, prosciutto, salumi and terrine (4/5). We loved the Tweed River King Prawns, which were large, fresh and the sauces of garlic, cider and herbs came up with perfect outcome (4.5/5). The large plate of organic chook was the hero of the night. We found that making a nice sauce to go with the dish was the expertise of the chefs at this restaurant. The slow-cooked chicken delivered juicy and tendered meat. The taste was compounded by the sauce, which deserved thumb-up (5/5). At the end, we chose to have the sweet mainly composed with acidic from orange and mandarin, which did not let us down, perfect dessert for a full-stop of the night (5/5).
I don’t think this place needs much introduction but I can say without hesitation I couldn’t fault anything I ate - all of it was filled with flavour and all the combinations worked perfectly. I had the octopus and the parfait ravioli special both of which were fantastic. Finished with the cheese plate which was incredibly generous and again, the cheeses were a delight. Add a few glasses of wine and really friendly staff and you can’t help but have a great night. Will definitely return. And next time bring more people so I can try more menu items!
Dropped in without a booking on Sunday for lunch. We sat outside but it was very windy so requested an inside table and were accommodated quickly. Wait staff asked what kind of water we wanted then returned with sparkling water and menus. We shared a bottle of Spanish cava. Between the three of us we shared bread, green salad with feta, beans with almonds , kingfish carpaccio, panko chicken and a half kilo of braised lamb with a bowl of coleslaw. All the food was well flavoured and expertly presented.
The food is not cheap but worth the price as the quality is excellent.
Too full for coffee or sweets we paid our bill and said goodbye. Nice setting with a board of specials hand written and a smart looking bar serving many cocktails.
In summary, an excellent restaurant with creative modern Australian/fusion dishes and very passionate staff that accentuate the dining experience. Loved the beautiful flavours in all the dishes. We sat at the bar so could observe the various dishes being cooked and plated before our eyes, which was great fun. The service was also amazing. Highly recommend.
This place is such a gem. We tried most of the other well rated restaurants around Broadbeach and this was by far our fav. The food was ridiculously flavoursome we did several tasting plates. The cocktails were so good and unique. We also thought this place was well priced. A must when visiting Broadbeach

We decided to dine here on recommendation and it was worth the hype. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and a great menu making it very hard to choose what to eat! Luckily the waitress was able to help us navigate through the menu, and helped us select some dishes that we otherwise wouldn't have chosen.
We started with a charcuterie board (they were able to do a half portion size as there were just two of us) and moved onto the yellowfin tuna and lamb empanada's (as we were told that the slow cooked lamb would have been too much for us but the same lamb is used in the empanada's!). All of which were delicious. We then tried the prawns which were great but didn't seem great value for $36 as there were only 4 in a portion size. The highlight was the octopus which we selected upon recommendation from the waitress and we weren't disappointed, they were delicious! The down side was the overcooked and rather bland green beans which they happily replaced and didn't charge us for when I pointed out they were overcooked.
Dessert was delicious, we ordered the Milk Chocolate & Peanut Butter Marquise. I'd highly recommend.
Overall the service, atmosphere and quality of food in this restaurant is great. The waiters can be a bit obnoxious but I guess that's what you'd expect from a hip restaurant.
I'd suggest allowing yourself a decent amount of time to really enjoy the experience. Sadly we rushed through the meal a bit, but there were so many more dishes that I would have liked to try. If we find our way back on the Gold Coast, I'd definitely put this restaurant on my to-do list again!
Twice cooked pork belly was nicely flavoured; crispy outside yet tender inside, seasoned mushrooms were surprisingly delicate. Barramundi was quite lacking especially considering the wait.
Great service and an exciting menu that made it hard to choose which dishes to save for next time. The octopus dish was my favourite, melt in the mouth tender and such complex flavour. It was all delicious though. Great to sit at the kitchen bar and watch the amazing dishes coming out!
Amazing food and amazing service. George and the team made sure we were well looked after. Food was amazing and desserts were the best we have had! Thank you for your hospitality and we be back on our next trip to Broadbeach. KM
We were invited to lunch by a friend of ours who swears by this place numerous times a week. From the moment we walked in, it was a wow experience.
My partner was unsure on the rum & whiskey selection so the waiter got the bar manager to come to our table and give info and recommendations.
It has a genuine sense of quality customer service, and that's even before the incredible food was bought out. The 10-hour slow cooked lamb is highly recommended - the jus and slaw are a perfect combo, and don't forget to order yourself some potatoes and flavoured beans on the side. If you've got enough room for dessert, the hazelnut and milk chocolate biscuit is something to die for.
They even wiped this off the bill because it took a little while to come out - we never complained either. From start to finish, a wonderful experience and although it isn't cheap, you get supreme value for the money you do spend. Won't be the last time here that's for sure!
so great! Food was delicious and full of so much flavour. Share meals so it would be better with a bigger group so you can try more! The chicken and lamb was incredible! Staff were really friendly! Highly recommend
Amazing best restaurant I have eaten at in the Gold Coast
Amazing modern food
Great cocktails
And the service was absolutely fantastic!!
I try and eat here once a week if I can get in
Go go go
Wonderful service, food and location.
Patrons are spoilt for choice when it comes to menu options, and that's before hearing the specials! As great as the savoury dishes were, I thought desserts starred at Social Eating House. This restaurant is a must when in beautiful Broadbeach.
We were able to try this restaurant after a cancellation and getting that call made my day! I've been wanting to try it for a while and it was one of the best meals I've had in the Gold Coast. The service was impecable. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and you could tell she was very passionate and proud to work there. We got their lamb empanadas and they were just insanely good. The amount of flavour they were able to pack in such a tiny parcel was unreal!! This is a must try dish. We got the octopus and this was one of the best octopus dishes I've had in a long time. It was cooked to perfection, so soft and still juicy and that squid ink just added another dimension to it. They had their famous lamb ribs on the specials menu and we had to get them. Te batter was light and crunchy and that sauce was just the perfect balance of sweet and sour. Their wines complimented all the dishes. Servings are pretty big for fine dining, we couldn't order dessert!
LOVE LOVE LOVE. If you are looking for quality great tasting food, top notch friendly service (from Chef to wait staff) this is the place to go. We had Veal Carpaccio (yum!), King Prawns, Soft Shell Crab and Tomatoes/ Buffalo salad. Yes the prices are a little on the high side but well worth it.
Everyone who visits the Gold Coast must try the Social. We were amazed with every single dish we ordered and we ordered by the recommendations of the manager. The service was great as well.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Everything from start to finish was top class here. Firstly the service was outstanding. The host was super helpful and friendly, even managing to get us a table outside due to a cancellation without having booking. We had 3 different waiters throughout the night, each as impressive as the last. They knew the menu inside out, made some awesome recommendations and most importantly we could tell they had a genuine passion for their job, the food, and the restaurant. All were super friendly also.
I don't even know where to start with the food, wow. We ordered oysters to start, which were fresh and great quality. Then followed with a some small plates, Chorizo, Soft shell crab, scallops and three time cooked lamb ribs. Eats dish was outstanding with the ribs being a clear stand out, tender, juicy and literary falling off the bone. We learnt the the head chef, who was doing his thing for all to see in the open style kitchen was also the owner. Again a super nice dude who clearly has mastered his art.
Literally have nothing remotely negative to say about the place, 10/10!!
We will be back (from Sydney)

Staff were lovely and helpful giving guidance on the menu and helping us to make decisions. Food was delicious with amazing flavours. The espresso martini was delightful.
Super packed at night! Managed to score a table at the bar. Good wine list and lots of interesting cocktails. Loved the charcoaled octopus with potato aioli... seems like it's the favourite dish among all the staff! The wasabi mayo with the soft shell crab was absolutely delicious and paired super well with the refreshing Asian slaw. Great food. Great service. Definitely lived up to its reputation!
I love this place... I cannot fault it! The twice cooked lamb ribs were to die for - sooo tasty and very decadent! Love the creativity and freshness in all the dishes they serve. I am from Brisbane but I am always sure to visit this restaurant if I'm staying down the Gold Coast!
Great service, great choice of alcohol and the ribs were amazing ! The tables are nicely placed and the noice level is good. We went mid week & it was busy, I'd recommend booking.
One of the best tappers restaurants you will find, the food is all quality that comes with unique tastes that will not leave you disappointed. I will be definitely going back the next time I am in Broadbeach.
DO: The kingfish, prawns, yuzu oysters, scallops... actually any of the small plates to share.
DON'T: Forget to order extra bread to mop up the garlic sauce served with the prawns.
TIP: Should book to avoid disappointment. Great place and will come back.
By far the best lamb I've ever tasted in my life, and I've eaten A LOT of lamb!
Service was 10/10, so attentive and smiled with rude customers.
We sat at the kitchen bar and it's a very smooth operation that flows through the whole eating house.
We will be back to enjoy the rest of the menu!
Only half a point off for the table near the door and waiter was average however as per last visit there the food is fantastic up there with the best I have had .Try the slow cooked lamb
Loved two out of my three dishes. The trout paste on rye was so good I had too and the wasabi mayo complemented the soft shell crab well. The steak was just bland in comparison. Definitely a great spot for a meal in Broadbeach.
Had a fabulous meal here. As a visitor from Melbourne; well; we're spoilt and don't expect much interstate, but this was excellent, the molasses glazed twice cooked Ham Hock was melt-in-your-mouth delicious as was the spanner crab, but everything was great. Would give a 5 however the service wasn't particularly attentive and took a very long time to take our order, and we couldn't get their attention for more drinks. Would however definitely return.
First and foremost, the food is excellent. Tried the prawns, eye fillet, scallops and the very generously portioned half chicken and all were delicious. Drinks are extensive and purple rain was a quirky and delicate cocktail that if go back for again.
Excellent and attentive service and very understanding - especially given we had two small children, made a huge amount of mess and managed to break a glass too!
Found this place through Zomato as we were visitors from Perth & craved for seafood. Came for early lunch on Monday, most of tables were already booked, but we managed to get seats at the bar. Friendly service, waitress always top up the water. We tried all of the oysters & they were the best ever! So fresh, well seasoned, toppings really compliment the oysters. Had the pork belly as well for main, it was so good. Tender, juicy meat plus the crunchy crackle. Hmm so good!
Left my heart in Gold Coast, and we'll definitely come back to this resto ♡

A really pleasant experience all round. With a warm welcome on entry and a passionate spiel from out young waiter about the style of the eatery. Share house is my favourite way to eat and I was excited about menu items straight away. The specials of the evening were extensive also making out decisions endless and diverse. We started off with the trout mouse on rye and it was a very pretty dish with great texture and flavour. We chose the beef tataki from the specials board and this was a delight to eat, a real blend of Japanese food mixed with szechuan cooking. The beef was beautifully soft and seasoned, combined with the sweetness and acidity of the ponzu and the spice of the Szechuan it was a taste sensation. This dish also had great texture with the addition of small amounts of puffed rice added to it. A great spin on a all time favourite classic of mine. We ate 4 more dishes over the next hour and all were a treat to eat, and all were vastly different in flavour and inspiration. All in all a great menu that I would love to go back and explore more. Well done social.
One of the few restaurants I've been to where culinary creativity is at the core of the entire dining experience.
The Staff: Great service, friendly, entirely across the menu with detailed explanations of the specials and anything on the menu
The ambience: I was sitting outside and it has a casual contemporary feel
The Food: Awesome, truly awesome. Risotto with truffle was amazing, king fish sashimi was a flavour experience all of it's own, and the fig salad was definitely worth returning just for that.
Drinks: Good selection of beer and wine
Overall: it's really reasonably priced, food is creative, fresh and somewhat unique!

Purely majestic. I can't recommend this place any higher.
Food was perfect. We ordered so many dishes and as each plate came out we couldn't have been more impressed. The Blue Fin Tuna Sashimi was my highlight. Wagyu beef and ox tongue was a big hit.
Staff at the Social are some of the very best I've seen. They were constantly checking up on us and making sure we were enjoying ourselves. One of our waitresses left to go home early and approached us on her way out informing us and to wish us a good night - that's great service.
We went to see Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. Would not recommend. As a result, half an hour late to our reservation at Social - agitated, angry, hangry. Staff were lovely, listened to our tragic tale, and served us swiftly. Oysters, warmed olives, slow baked chorizo, octopus, house charcuterie board - incredible. Already forgotten that (spoiler) Superman died... Wines to ease the pain; a perfect collection. Beautiful Tasmanian Sauvignon Blanc and a Spanish Tempranillo. Marvellous. Mains - pork belly, eye fillet, splendid sashimi of King fish and tuna. Fantastic. Morale was high. Whiskey, Affogatos, Mandarin panacotta, and coconut and lime deconstructed cake - splendid. What a night! Perfect. The first of many Zomato reviews.
What a great place. Both food and service deliver. Ate here twice in 4 days and had a different specials board both nights so was able to try so many different dishes. The highlight were the lamb ribs and the pork belly. But save room for dessert that are so delicious. Food bill can add up but worth the penny's
What can I say? Wow. I don't give away a score like this lightly. Rock Salt is probably my all time favourite eating experience with Maze (whilst it was around). The food was awesome. Bread was nice. The Risotto mind blowing. Soft shell crab close behind. Pork belly awesome. A surprise bonus was the prawn coated with pork. Something you simple need to try. The steak great too. Love this place. Our waiter Nick topped it off with great service. A score well deserved.

Gold Coast is really starting to better their standards when it comes to wining and dining.
Went here for a birthday dinner and didn't have huge expectations but definitely wasn't disappointed! It's got a great laid back casual vibe although serving up delicious and beautifully presented food.
We started with the yuzu & elderflower granita oysters which were amazing, the charcuterie board which was perfect for 3, moving onto the tuna sashimi, octopus and soft sheep crab, all delicious, the only down fall was the pork belly which was overcooked but considering everything else was fantastic food wise, we weren't complaining! For dessert we had the special which was a deconstructed lamington which was delicious, so many delicious elements on the plate that worked beautifully together!
The staff are extremely helpful although often took our plates too early, just when you wanted to soak up the sauce, the plate was gone... I thought it was reasonably priced considering the quality of food, but I can see how people may find it overpriced considering how casual it feels.
Would definitely go back.

This place is amazing, great food, service, wine list. Went there twice in one day, lunch and dinner. Best on the coast. Delightful to sit at the chef's bar watching the chefs in action and chatting about their fabulous food! Will be back again very soon!
Awesome food, they really know how to match food flavors! This place is really top shelf FOOD with great service!
If you love your food and want quality then you can't beat this on the Gold Coast, by far the best in town!!!
Broadbeach needed a place like this!
This has got to be the best tapas bar on the coast.
My favorite is the confit pork belly!!! It just melts in your mouth and the plum sauce compliments the pork very well.
Each dish is made with a good balance and good amount to share.
Keep it up!!
highly recommend for any purpose meeting. just like its name. defintely the great spot for social. they also changed menu frequency which made dining become a creative experience.

Fantastic dining experience at social eating house. Arrived late on a Friday evening and my wife and I were seated at the bar with a view of the kitchen. Had the soft shell crab, lamb ribs, pork belly and the eye fillet. All very well executed and with some extras on the side that wouldn't always be included at other places (salads etc). Service was efficient and knowledgable. Would definitely return - highly recommended !
My partner and I were recommended to come to social eating house. We were greeted with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I love that you can order lots of little servings of a variety of foods. I love to try a bit of everything when I eat out so this worked out perfectly. Our waitress claimed that they had the best cocktails on the Gold Coast and boy was she right. I had a cactus chai was delicious. The bar tender even sprayed what looked a like a perfume bottle over the top of my drink before serving it. I'm not a real fan of tequila but this was very tasty. My partner asked the bar tender to do a twist on the old fashion drink and we were pleasantly presented with a drink with a serviette on top to stop the smoke from the burnt cinnamon stick from escaping. Overall a very delicious meal and very much love to the bar and atmosphere of the place. Will definitely be back.
Broadbeach has fast become our favourite family holiday destination. It’s only a 1 hr flight from Sydney and ticks all family members boxes – beach, sun, sand, theme parks and for me outstanding food. No trip is ever complete without a visit to our No 1 Broadbeach restaurant, Social Eating House.
We had an enjoyable Sunday night dinner without a reservation, we sat at the kitchen bar. All the staff were friendly and the food was delicious! We had the fried whole school prawns which were very crunchy, the asahi battered king george whiting also fried to perfection. The asian slaw in the spiced soft shell crab was super tasty without being heavy in flavour and our green leaves, fennel, peas and feta salad balanced out all our fried dishes perfectly!
Excellent experience. Had a great Sunday lunch at Social. Tried to get in last night but no seats inside so moved onto Jamm (also awesome). So back for Sunday lunch and shared a number of dishes. The special foie gras terrine was pretty incredible. The octopus was some of the best we have eaten, the chorizo and pork belly dishes were amazing and the dessert also great. So in summary, great Sunday lunch!
Brilliant!. The food was delicious. We had the special sashimi spring roll and the beef cheek. We also had the soft shell crab, yabbies & pork belly. All outstanding and worth the money. The cocktails were great too.
We are Melbourne foodies so very impressed. Might come back again during our stay.
Best Australian Restaurant. 10/10. Social is undoubtedly a restaurant that needs to expand across Australia as It is nothing short of PHENOMENAL! The food is delicious and unmatched in any current restaurants (making it what I believe to be the Best Australian restaurant(. The staff are warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. I cannot give enough praise to Social, and my family and I would travel to the Gold Coast just to attend this leading restaurant. 10/10
Wow! Absolutely brilliant!. I am not often impressed by restaurants but I was blown away by our experience here. From the moment I booked, the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, well informed and generally professional. As it was a Valentine's day dinner, there was a set menu offered. The food offered in each of the six courses showed these chefs are the real deal. The food is first class! And even though it was a set menu, the chefs accommodated our dietary requirements.
It was our first time here, but we are keen to make this a regular haunt. Do yourself a favour. One of the best restaurants on the coast!
Thank you Adam, Lana and the rest of the crew foe an unforgettable experience.
Every single time we have had the pleasure of dining at social it has been a memorable experience! The amazing food is always fresh and delicious. The service is impeccable and the venu beautiful. Better than rock salt!

Been awhile since we haven't has the rugrats, so needed & hoped for somewhere good. This place hit the spot. Great food, the carpaccio & the fillet with its jus were "remember that meal" kind of thing. drinks were on the mark. Definitely worth the visit. The only gripe is we normally like sitting up at the bar, but as a suggestion dim the lights or have the bright light aimed at were the barman do their thing.
Loved it!. I was recommended to head here by some foody friends from Sydney and am glad we did. Even though the restaurant was packed and we didn't have a reservation, the super gracious Manager, Yanis, managed to find us two spots at the bar. You can tell instantly by watching the chefs in the open plan kitchen that this place is the real deal and it did not disappoint. The menu is interesting, the wine list complex and reasonable and the specials make it extra special! Would highly recommend as a notch above on the Gold Coast dining scene.
Doesn't get any better. All things considered, this is probably the best restaurant I've been to on the Gold Coast. The place has a great, informal buzz but the food is meticulously prepared, top quality and real interesting. Even simple dishes like Sashimi were prepared with subtle flourishes that made it outstanding. The way it's offered and presented is also really attractive. You can get quite a few small, interesting plates that are ideal for sharing, with a good selection of wine (by the glass if desired) without spending any more than you would at an average Gold Coast 'family' restaurant. Staff are unobtrusive but friendly and attentive. And in our experience, very knowledgeable on the food and wine.
This place alone makes a visit to Broadbeach worthwhile.
Consistently great food. I've been here many times. The specials are always abundant and interesting. Quality is excellent and the flavour has consistently followed through. Staff can be temperamental but the food is the star! One of my favourite places on the GC.
Great food, great service. The Gold Coast is generally a culinary wasteland but Social is head and shoulders above the norm. Do yourself a favour and try it out.
Amazing. Great food and lovely service. A must do on the Gold Coast.
Amazing service and wonderful food - stopped by early one night with no reservation and two small kids and the staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. Food was absolutely delicious and would eat here every night if we had the chance!! Definitely recommend eating here.
I'm not usually blown away by a restaurant but this place was excellent! The staff were all incredibly friendly, helpful, knowledgable and just appeared genuinely happy to be there.
The food was even better!! Portion sizes are small but the quality was unbelievable. The best pork belly I've ever had hands down.
Will be back for sure
Wow. The best eating experience we have had in along time. Our only regret was finding this gem on the last day of our trip. Will defiantly be coming back. Try the lamb emponadas. We had to order seconds of these.
This place is excellent! The food is fabulous as is the service. Rory was our wonderful bar tender and Adam is cheeky. The best scollops ever. Great atmosphere. Thank you everyone. What a fun night.
Fantastic. Food was very tasty and unique and changed over a couple of days. Very happy to go back 3 times. Service was impeccable. A must.
Sensational food! Loved everything on the menu, we couldn't decide on what to try so we left it up to the friendly & experienced waiter! Cocktails to die for oh and cheese! Can't wait to head back when next in Broadbeach!
Food to die for!. We dined at Social Eating House twice during our week stay on Broadbeach . Absolutely faultless!!! Amazing flavours, presentation and perfect service. First dinner we had the Lamb shared plate with small plates of asparagus and mushrooms. The lamb was melt in your mouth gorgeous ! Second dinner we had the Chicken shared plate which was just as tasty and delicious . The waitress from Tasmania was delightful! We will certainly be recommending Social to all who we know heading to GC.

The BEST place to eat on the GC. Excellent service, great atmosphere and put of this world food.
We cannot bring ourselves to eat anywhere else now as it just won't stack up. AMAZING.
Absolutely amazing. Tried a lot of dishes and can not fault one thing. Great service, very attentive and had personality. Best food I've had on the gc and I'm local.
The best!. Social would hands down be the best restaurant! The food is always amazing and the staff are friendly.

Amazing!
Ah-mazing. So so good. Soft shell crab with coleslaw, pork belly, eye fillet, oysters, tuna sashimi - all beautifully balanced meals where each element offset the others. Great service by the funky dudes!
