An excellent restaurant. 'Little' is a relative term; it is smaller than its sister restaurant (Pollen Street Social), but still big enough for groups (there were ten of us when we ate last week), as well as cosy tables for smaller numbers. Excellent food and wine - including a steak tartare, freshly caught fish and some very indulgent desserts.

Hidden gem. Visited for a drink. Fantastic customer service. We were looked after and the staff was very attentive. We did not eat but will next time we visit. Lovely decor too.

Beautifully set restaurant, delicious food and attentive staff. What else would one want? Right! A cocktail list where each and every cocktail sounds like one of the drinks I would typically order, depending on which is the situation. I didn't manage to try all of them, so I guess I have to come back some day! We really had a great time.

I'd been wanting to try Little Social for a while. It's a chilled bistro style setting with just the right amount of bustle. The service was excellent, the fixed lunch is such good value for money and the wine list has a great selection of French wines at all price points. It was perfect for my business lunch.

Great food quality (particularly the pork rib chop main and the salmon starter), plan at least 90 minutes for lunch, this will not be quick meal. During weekday lunches, Little Social is a hub of busines meetings so be aware the atmosphere is somewhere between a stock exchange floor and an after-work pub with much better food.
