lino brescia™March 11, 2017NYC. Crowded. Great drinks. Love the food. Can be a shitshow on weekends at the bar.
SparkieSeptember 26, 2012Lower East Side – about $10 for bellinis or bloody mary’s plus about $8-$15 for brunch items. Brunch items are meant to be shared by the table at the Stanton Social brunch
David FormanJanuary 10, 2013You MUST Do the French onion soup dumplings. Lobster fritters are great too. Also make sure to try the basil-lime gimlet!
Tasha NicoleApril 11, 2012The food is amazing and so are the cocktails! A few must haves Shrimp n Grits, Thai Spiced Ribs, Social Tea and Cucumber Vanilla Cosmo!- Eric HinmanApril 18, 2012French onion soup dumplings are a must. Wash them down with a blood orange jalapeno margarita. Pop over to Hotel on Rivington or Thompson LES for a nightcap.
Scott BerkaAugust 7, 2014If you don't see something you want on the menu, tell the bartender your spirit of choice and preferred flavors - they'll make you something that rarely disappoints.
Jacqueline SheaOctober 15, 2014The pivotal brunch question of sweet vs savory is solved: you can get bite-sized portions of both!
Lizzy PMay 6, 2018Tuna tacos and donuts were the favorites. French onion soup dumplings were disappointing.
JamieDecember 10, 2014Very nice after work white collar atmosphere. The mixed spicy cocktails are the way to go.
Helen LinJune 10, 2010Must get "french onion soup dumplings" also kobi Philly w/ goat cheese fondue, stanton social beef wellington, nori spiced tuna tartare roll, chocolate tasting menu! u will leave stuffed!
Warren LainMarch 28, 2017The French Onion Soup Dumplings are one of the more special culinary creations I've ever had!
Sleepy BrowneJanuary 28, 2016The lamb gyro and the Philly Cheese Steak and the Red Snapper Tacos with the Mac and Cheese.
Lee HoffmanDecember 1, 2012Highly highly recommend the Potato goat cheese perorgi, strawberry fields, Butternut squash ravioli, Donuts, and Gingerbread twinkles
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Josh Capon, chef of Burger & Barrel, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Kobe Philly Cheesesteak. Read more
mary christensonMay 17, 2013French onion soup dumplings, quesadilla, and potato perriogies are wonderful. Definitely a MUST DO restaurant!
Brendan LewisMarch 25, 2014You owe it to yourself to order the French Onion Soup Dumplings. It's as though they took heaven and molded it into bite-sized form.
MelOctober 30, 2010Beef Wellington is outta this world. Orrechiette with rabbit/leeks also super tasty. Ditto what others say abt French onion soup dumplings. Pass on the short rib tacos and duck confit empanadas.
Georgia RDecember 29, 2011Bad: 8:15 reservation for dinner- weren't seated until 9- and directly beneath a speaker blasting house music. Good: red snapper tacos, chipotle shrimp, and the bourbon hot chocolate shot. Wow.
Eclectic and fun menu. french onion soup dumplings anyone? - the foodie magician
Gen LarocqueJune 1, 2015Strawberry fields is the best drink I've had all year. Try the chicken arepas - truly amazing!
Paul TaylorApril 15, 2014The Celery Ravioli w/blood orange- incredible. Raylene was incredible. Want to eat here every night- Everything's good here, but most importantly, start queuing up those goat cheese pierogies. Call 911 if you need a stretcher afterwards due to potential food comas :).
Design*SpongeMarch 25, 2011The chicken and waffles are a must. Everyone loves the French Onion Soup dumplings but for me, the corn sauce on the waffles topped everything.
Tim ClarkeMarch 14, 2015Love this place. Have drinks at the upstairs lounge while you wait for a table.
Nicole GreerMarch 5, 2012Absolutely gorgeous food, great atmosphere. Beef tacos, snapper tacos, Mac n cheese, chicken and waffles....all amazing!!
Paul PenningtonJuly 21, 2013Great atmosphere. Very chill. I recommend the Sriracha Pea Crusted Salmon and the Cocktail No. 6.
Teresa WNovember 18, 2012go. order everything: lobster benedict, French onion soup dumplings, banana pancakes. it's all good.
Rachel SmithOctober 16, 2015Great spot for large parties try one of everything! Doughnuts are amazing
Jan AguAugust 13, 2013Get the Spicy Lamb Souvlakis w/tzaziki, lime, harissa aioli and theTempura 'Popcorn' Shrimpw/ yuzu-chile aioli.
Rachel BellFebruary 21, 2012love this place. Order the Apple and Brie quesadilla and the potato and goat cheese pierogies. everything is soooo tasty
Everything! Chicken Arepas and French Onion Soup dumplings are to die for.
Zoe MaurerJune 8, 2011I would recommend the meatballs, french onion soup dumplings, and the 1947 champagne mynt julep for starters...fyi there is only 1 unisex bathroom in the whole place!
Linh TaAugust 4, 2013omg. Everything we ate was amazing!! I recommend the ahi tuna poke and the lamb soulvaki!
Amy WilliamsAugust 24, 2014The Red Snapper Tacos were delicious but a really small portion for tapas. The tacos were the size of my finger. ☝️
marsha gomezOctober 11, 2013David. Bartender. Tall dark handsome. Ask him to make you his favorite drink. Don't know the name if it, but,,, it's good.
Vivienne GucwaSeptember 3, 2014They have a really tasty shot that consists of birthday cake ice cream and Maker's Mark. Worth it.
Carolyna ZJanuary 31, 2015Pirogies are my fave! All food comes in perfect tapas size except for dessert of course ;)
Christina KnorrMarch 8, 2018The carrot soup they served upon seating was delicious and the pierogies may be the best things I ever ate. The poke tacos were too salty for my taste. I went for the soup dumplings but hated them :(
Christina CelliniAugust 14, 2012The Staton Social Plateau was delicious. I also saw my favorite person ever, Carly Rae Jepsen. :-)
Lianne StokesAugust 28, 2011The French Onion Soup Dumplings will make you forget about your divorce. Or the fact that the "hip ad agency" you're working at is rumored to have layoffs. Do it.
EJ ProwlSeptember 4, 2010Best kobe beef sliders i've ever had. I keep hearing about the French Onion Soup dumplings. those will definitely be on my "to try" list next time i'm there
Justin FerrantiJuly 26, 2016French onion soup dumplings are their most popular item. Very trendy, bourgie vibe
Ivan OramaApril 20, 2012Suggestion at stanton social would have to be red snapper tacos and the chicken with waffles. After eating that take some 90 proof milkshake shots.
Mary GazellaSeptember 5, 2011A culinary adventure! Must haves: french onion soup dumplings, pierogies, and flatbread. Skipping dessert is also not an option-they have Maker's Mark milkshake shots!
Gansevoort Hotel GroupNovember 1, 2011Great tapa-style dishes. Start with the French Onion Soup Dumplings and the rest is cake, or should I say donuts!!
Julia KlothSeptember 29, 2013I think the pirogues might be my favorite. Might be something to do with the truffles and the creme fraiche.
RaksOctober 13, 2013Try the Wasabi pea crusted Salmon! You won't regret it. Unlike anything you've tasted before.
Samantha JoseAugust 8, 2014the ahi tuna tacos & lamb gyros were the best! the french onion soup dumplings were overhyped.
