   To be fair, this was our first outing at The Hampton Social so we did not know what to expect. We chose this restaurant for its high reviews, and beautiful decor. The following is an honest review of our brunch: Pros: 1. The restaurant is beautifully decorated; light and airy and had a welcoming atmosphere. 2. The restaurant accepts reservations. 3. The hostess was friendly and seated us promptly. 4. Our server was immediately available and was friendly and quickly willing to get answers to some menu questions. 5. There was live music that was pleasant and not so loud as to obstruct a conversation. Cons: 1. An 18% gratuity is immediately added to any bill regardless of size of party or quality of service (there is a tip share amongst many restaurant employees, as conveyed by the hostess when asked about the automatic add that is clearly posted at the host stand). 2. An option for additional gratuity can be added to a check (for the initially assigned server) should one feel this is warranted. 3. The brunch menu was very much cocktail/drink focused vs. a variety of foods. 4. Timing of courses appears not to be observed. Overall, our experience was not a good one. My husband ordered clam chowder, fried fish sandwich (mostly batter); it came with chips (the clam chowder and sandwich showed up at the same time, but was quickly whisked away by the manager who saw that my husband with displeased with having received both courses together). I had the fish sandwich grilled/side of fries. There wasn’t a lot of fish on either cod sandwich, they were mostly laden w/condiments. My fries were food service shoestring frozen to fryer—dry/tasteless. We ordered ice tea and the drinks were served in small glasses. My husband wanted a refill, but we didn’t see our server again before we concluded our meal. It’s important to note the manager stopped by to ask if we had everything we needed at the onset of the meal. Unfortunately, expectations were not met.

   Fun atmosphere...perfect for small or large groups. Not a huge menu, but there is a lot of variety in it.

   Great!! Wait staff was attentive and efficient. Good variety of dishes. Food was delish. Loved the ahi bowl, salmon, and bang bang chicken. Calamari was nice and crispy. Brussel sprouts outstanding. And golden beets delish too. I’ll be back.

   We’ve eaten at high end restaurants every night for a week here in Naples, all of them scrumptious but this food (we were a group of 7) was THE BEST!!! Everything from the clam chowder and Caesar salad to the pasta, chicken, salmon, beignets and deconstructed banana cream pie was something to rave about. We couldn’t have been more impressed! ❤️❤️❤️

   First time there - not impressed at all. Very loud. Food was expensive - $28 for half chicken and 8 roasted potato halves? Chicken was covered with some over cooked, dried out vegetables and a few small pieces of feta. Service was so so although the manager was great, trying to make it right. Skirt steak ordered medium came out dry. Lobster roll was a disappointment. Please check your bill and note that an 18% tip is automatically added.

   Felt like a chain restaurant and they wanted to get us in and out. Limited choices for food and wine. Food was good, wine was not. Had much nicer meals and ambiance in Naples for the same or lower price.

   Great food and service. A little noisy but acceptable for a large restaurant/bar
