I met a friend at Pod Hotel and we did not want to walk around so went to East Side Social Club - what a GREAT choice!!!
To be honest I had read some of the recent reviews showing on Menupages and Yelp and they were pretty harsh so I definitely had mixed feelings about going there - but some time they say you have to try it yourself to find out the truth and I am so so glad I did that - it was very great experience. One reason I am writing the review is because my experience was so vastly different and better.
We had some martinis, and the Upper East Side - the best house cocktail and loved it. The Mac n Cheese, Potato Croquettes started the meal most excellently. I love the Steak Au Poivre - one of the best I have had. My friend enjoyed his Mushroom Ravioli a lot.
It was classy but relaxed place to sit down with fun jukebox type music. The servers were very friendly and their effort made up for some inexperience. The place was busy but not 100% packed.
I will definitely be come back here since many of my work related guests stay at the Pod Hotel.
