This restaurant has a great outlook over the harbour. Casual and comfortable.For the two of us we had the best garlic bread entree.Our mains were substantial. The barramundi in seafood broth was excellent. The sirloin was cooked exactly as requested and a good size. Paying half price for the food made it perfect. Staff and service was friendly and efficient. A thumbs up from us.

Lovely restaurant, we ordered crispy pork, garlic bread, beef aranchini for entrees. The surf and turf had good portion with creamy garlic prawns. chilli mussels were yum I opted for no carb so they replaced with salad for me. Staff were attentive and accommodating. Would go back again.
Marilyn Sebastian - dined at Social Hillarys on 10 August 2019
Greeted at the door, given a great table for two near a heater (it was a cold evening) and then handed the new menu. Extensive choices, and attentive staff in a very pleasant environment. Everything we had was wonderful (we effectively had a three course meal) and so we would definitely dine here again. Thanks first table for allowing us to try this great place at a great price!! Ps the meatballs starter were awesome!
Tanya Whitehurst - dined at Social Hillarys on 20 July 2019
We dined at Social Hillarys as a family so our meals varied from the hamburger, nachos, calamari to the NY strip. We could not find fault with a single item of any meal. The ambience is warm and the service good.
We will definitely go to Social Hillarys again.
Heather Rhebok - dined at Social Hillarys on 29 June 2019
We decided to try this place for a date night - a date night we discussed we wont bring our phones! It was very relaxing and we got a fantastic view of the beach. The weather was so lovely and we sat in the outside area. We got a really good table, and at 6.30 we got to watch the sun go down too. I had the steak and my partner had the cheeseburger. The steak was amazing! Cooked really well but what stole the plate was the sauce! It was just so tasty (my partner doesn't like mushroom - but said the sauce was amazing too!). The cheeseburger was massive! We made a terrible choice for getting wedges for entry too! We were so stuffed.
When we went to go pay we did have a bit of a pickle! We didn't bring our phones to show our first table voucher!! Silly us! But it was okay because the staff were so accommodating!! They let me borrow the phone to try and contact someone - until i realised it's on my email, he lent me his phone to access it. I think that was fantastic customer service and I was so pleasantly surprised and grateful! - I think his name was Pardeep!
Would highly recommend this place for it's great atmosphere, service and food!

Other than this small glitch I would return again.

A nice evening was had by everyone. Arancini balls and pork belly bites as entrees followed by 3 steaks (which were all cooked to how each of us liked it) and 1 chicken dish. The only negative was that there was no beer or cider on tap that night

James Parker - dined at Social Hillarys on 6 October 2019
Visited Social at Hillary's on Sat Sept 21.
Positives:
- Manager Padeep met us at the door and is a friendly guy who seemed genuinely glad to see us. He was great all the way through the experience.
- Setting is very nice in the summer, but cold on this day. Social positioned nicely for live music venue. Very nice
- Food- portions are much larger than anticipated. Entrees are made to share! We had the pork belly bites which were very good and recommended. Very good value for money! Surf & Turf in cream sauce with mash- sirloin cooked perfectly; Lamb shanks cooked perfectly as well.
Not so much "negatives" as "good have been better?"
Food- Understanding that risotto is tricky and takes a certain amount of expertise, the chicken and mushroom risotto was average.
All of the food was plentiful, well prepared (save the risotto) and exactly as ordered. None of it though, was bursting with flavor and was a bit bland.
Overall, a very nice experience with Padeep and staff doing a great job. We will more than likely try Social again and perhaps give the Beef Filet a try! Looked great on the menu!

2 of the 4 meals were ok and two were disappointing( mussels definitely not freshly cooked / must have been re-heated at the time).
Jeffah Stephens - dined at Social Hillarys on 6 September 2019
This is a good cafe, and the waitress was welcoming and cheerful. It was a very quiet evening, with us (3 guests) and another party (5 guests). Clearly - this provides a way to ensure that the chef can easily focus on food preparation and the table staff are not run off their feet. First Table is linked to the main menu and it has no dessert listings.

The meals we selected were prepared quickly and presented beautifully on plates. We all chose fish dishes and commented on the lovely texture, taste and contrasting flavours in the vegetables and salads. We will be back to select more from the menu because so much on it sounds really tempting!

Simone Pereira - dined at Social Hillarys on 8 May 2019
Dining with 2 adults and 2 children the service was fast and efficient and the food was great. I had a New York strip with prawns in a lovely sauce. The kids had fish and chips and were given some pencils and paper in the interim which was handy. My sister had 3 entrees in place of a main, sticky pork, fried Camembert and calamari. They were good sizes and we were able to take the leftovers home. The calamari was well cooked, the pork wasn’t too bad but I wasn’t a fan of the Camembert.
The value using first table was great and would definitely use it again. Total bill (with a slice of berry cheesecake and rocky road) was $55 from $110 (plus $5 table booking for first time).

Visited Social last night and were greeted by lovely friendly staff.
The view to the beach was wonderful on a beautiful balmy evening.
The rose wine wasn’t chilled but we soon added ice and it was perfect on a warm evening.
The food was tasty I had the Barramundi salad and my partner had the salt and pepper squid.
Overall it was a very pleasant experience.
Thank you to the staff of Social

Table of 3 with 3 entrees (sticky pork belly bites, cheesy garlic bread and bruschetta), 3 mains (steak with mushroom sauce x 2 and fish salad) and 3 desserts (caramel chocolate brownie x 2 and carrot cake). Everything was cooked to perfection, served hot and with great service. Even the coffees (1 being a decaf, long black with almond milk) was fantastic! We will definitely be back again given the quality of food with a great view. Thanks Social for a lovely family evening!
