Social House

Vegas hidden gem!

Social House delivers as the perfect place before the club and as a gastronomical experience. Hidden away atop Christian Audigier Nightclub at Treasure Island, you will find a unique dining area that is full of nooks and crannies. Each part of the restaurant features semi private areas that can accommodate a variety of party sizes. They have the best version of Yellowtail Jalapeno, made famous by chef Nobu. Social House's menu has a great variety of items for people who love raw seafood, cooked seafood, and even those who don't do raw or eat seafood. Their steaks are done to perfection and are either prime grade or Kobe beef. You can enjoy a nice dinner out with friends or just grab a quick meal before the club, I love Social House and will be coming back for ages. Don't forget to try some of the sake on their list!

• Pros: unique dining
• Cons: None

Amazing atmosphere+bad food= Failure

I am Asian and have worked at Sushi reastaurant for many years. It means I know what Japaness dish tast like

The Social House food is not even near to everage.

The service are exellent and employees are very stylish,yet the food is simply-really-bad. Reastaurant suppose to proud of their food, not covering their shortage with model-kinds waiters and waitresses.

The price is also rip off.

• Pros: Genius interior design.
• Cons: not joking! Really bad food.

Another average sushi joint. Has promise, but misfires throughout.

So the place is definately unique - there are many rooms with many similar, but different vibes - A+ for design and decor.

The staff seems really lost especially at the host stand. They had plenty of people working at the host stand... maybe too many, because there was no direction. We checked in twice (with a reservation) before they figured out what to do. We were brought upstairs to another host stand, where we waited again - with more staff not really knowing what was what - or at least they didn't communicate to us what was going on. We had to ask twice upstairs before being shown to our table - a great start.

So the room we sat in was cool - with big newspapers on the wall and huge industrial fans - they called it the paper room - made sense. Our fairly large group had a long table and we were able to talk and carry on like the overaged kids we are. Drinks were very good as was the saki. The food was good, not great, but certainly good. The portions were very small, however - including the size of the sushi cuts - noticeably small.

The price on the other hand was not so small. So, they went one direction with the portions and the opposite direction with the pricing - not a great formula for the consumer - but I guess a great formula for the operator.

Overall, there are plenty of great sushi spots in Las Vegas, I'll return to the others because they are far more consistent, trained and give better value.

Oh, did I mention that they try and sell you the nightclub next door several times while you are at the restaurant? Like I need some suit or bouncer like dude bothering me while I am eating dinner.... ah, no I don't.

• Pros: Really neat spot with varied rooms and design.
• Cons: Portion size and price. Lost staff. Trying to sell nightclub next door while eating.
