Social Dining

Excellent CBD lunch option. Have been a few times and will come back again.
Fancy enough but not stupidly expensive. Great service and food.

Excellent ambience, food & service. Higly recommended. Couldn't fault.

Amazing venue as it is the more private dining within the Verandah precinct. The crew was amazing. Katie, the Manager was very attentive. And the food was delicious! I have not tested a better lamb in my life! Everything was perfect!

We loved our dinning experience at Social!! Great service from Katie and Adrian especially when it was a very busy Melbourne Cup afternoon! Foods and cocktails were superb!!

Meet Wendy Wu in the flesh🥰 introducing on her Presentation is South & Central America added to her holidays packages held in the awesome venue - Social@Verandah - good food, good company & friendly staffs that always there to attend to all you needs & location is close walking distance to Martin Place or St James Stations opposite the Hyde Park 😘

Was a perfect spot for a lunch with work colleagues. Food and drinks were beautiful and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere and feel of the restaurant were exactly what we were after.

I helped my friend plan her wedding and we relied on reviews from others on venues so hopefully this helps others too! We looked at Social Dining for the reception and it was the last venue on our list to look at.. it turns out, we had saved the best for last. My friend wanted a cocktail style reception for 110 people and this was the perfect venue. From planning to delivery, the staff and customer service was incredible (thank you Emily and Katie!) and we knew we were in good hands. The venue itself has an island bar (service was quick) and great decor.. we barely needed to add any decoration of our own. Food and drink were great too! Any requests were welcome and accommodated, and response time to queries were answered efficiently.

I highly recommend this venue for a Sydney CBD wedding reception.. so much fun and enough room for groups to have their own pockets of space in the one room. 10/10!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

What's not to love. Phenomenal, delicious food, all perfectly seasoned. Cracking wine list with all your favourites. First class service, lead by Katie. Staff were helpful, efficient and full of smiles. Loved it!

We were lucky enough to have our ‘Love Party’ wedding reception at Social Dining by Verandah Bar and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to hold our event at this venue. From the very start, Emily and the team (a special mention also to Katie and Saskia) went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and exactly what we had envisioned. The space and décor are beautiful and the layout of the venue allowed us to comfortably fit a photo booth and the musician whilst guests could still sit down, stand or dance. The musician even commented that it was his favourite reception venue so far! The canapes and drinks were absolutely delicious and Social catered perfectly for everyone’s dietary needs. The guests are still making endless comments about the fantastic venue, the friendly staff and the quality of the food. We cannot speak highly enough about Social and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect area to hold any type of event. Thank you Social Dining for making our special day absolutely perfect!

Went here because the reviews were good and was not disapointed. The food was amazing and the cocktail hit the spot

Fabulous Service and amazing food. Katie and the team are incredible and the food is always consistently delicious. My favourite place in the city to eat.

Had a fantastic lunch with excellent service - Katie was lovely and really looked after us well. I had the vegetarian starter and main, and heavenly dessert, all of which were absolutely delicious. Best meal I've had in a long time and will definitely go again!

Love social dining! It is my go to city lunch spot, any day of the week for any type of meeting or lunch date!

From the moment my daughter and I walked in we were warmly welcomed. Plenty of space for the pram too.
Staff were very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable of both food and wine menus. Both of which were very good indeed.
We shall return Im sure. Its always nice to sit and relax and not feel rushed.
Thank you Ladies.

My husband and I recently held our wedding reception at Social at Verandah, and it was quite possibly the best party we have every been to. Our family and friends are still talking about it and are all planning to return for dinner and drinks! Maddy and Katie did an amazing job organising and hosting us. They are both very professional but also incredibly warm people which made the planning so easy and stress free. The space is gorgeous, the food and drinks were so amazing and everyone left well satisfied. The staff were all lovely and accomodating and we could tell everyone there was committed to us and our guests having the best time! We also planned it super last minute but it all went so smoothly, there was no stress at all. I can't recommend Social at Verandah enough for your next function or event (or even just dinner)!

Booked a business lunch for 6 ppl here at short notice. Katie was very accomodating when I called and warm in welcoming us when we arrived. Venue and atmosphere was very nice, food was fantastic and service was excellent, what more can you ask for. We had a great time so will be recommending to my peers to come here again.

Lovely service and staff. Might have had some new staff so a few small hiccups. Dined weekday 2 course meal with sides. Good food.

If you are looking for great quality dining, and a buzzy lunchtime vibe then look no further. Verandah Bar and Restaurant is my favourite restaurant in Sydney right now. It offers outstanding food, service and the value is amazing. With fantastic cocktails and delicious wines to match each course. I can highly recommend.

Have dined here many times and found the ambience and meals most enjoyable.
Experienced staff with excellent customer service skills and great food.
My dining companion experienced a medical emergency today at lunch and the care and concern from everyone involved was really outstanding.

What a great venue with such amazing staff! We recently held our wedding reception at Social and couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. The planning and execution of every detail was flawless. We were in such good hands the whole time which allowed us to just relax and enjoy our big day. Thanks to the professionalism of Saskia, Stuart, and the rest of the team the whole event went off without a single hitch. If you are seeking a beautiful, totally affordable venue with amazing food, wine, and service in the heart of the Sydney CBD, look no further!
