I had an amazing dining experience at TWH Social! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, with a cozy yet stylish vibe. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. We shared a bunch of apps and one main. We had the charcuterie board, which was filled with a variety of options. Honestly one of the best charcuterie boards offered in KW. The oysters were so fresh and presented perfectly. The steak and frites were cooked excellent and they even gave us a lavender dessert to end the night. I also appreciated the drink selection, with some unique cocktails and a solid wine list. They have Prosecco on tap, which is always a great touch. Sahil, our server, was attentive and accommodating. The whole team was very welcoming. Overall, TWH Social exceeded our expectations. It’s clear that the chefs and staff are passionate about their craft. Whether you're here for a casual meal or a special occasion, this place is a gem. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be back.
