District Social

Went for lunch with two dear friends and their little dog, Phyllis. Request the booth if you can, it’s cozy! Food was excellent; we had fried flounder, octopus, steak, and yucca fries! They pay attention to detail with their cocktails, too. We loved our waitperson for being so accommodating and kind!

One thing stands out: Brussels sprout. Lightly crisped on the outside, fresh on the inside, coated with an amazing sauce that is tasty and tangy. Charred octopus was pretty good, the portion was just a little small, but could serve as a nice light meal with the delicious potatoes that came with it. Came before the dinner crowd (they have happy hour in the afternoon) so it was a really pleasant and comfortable space for a chat. As the dinner crowd came in closer to 6pm, it got understandably a little noisy and the music also seemed to become louder.

We antes to go to the District Tao House but made the reservation for the wrong District. The are around the corner form each other. I had the pork chops. They were so good! My friend got the Housemade Tagliatelle she was not as impressed either the taste as she was with the actually visual of the plate. For dessert we got the chocolate molten cake it was really good as well. The service was good. I like the District Tap House betters tho.

Very tasty meals, I ordered eggs and steak, which was perfectly cooked, very juicy and tender. Highly recommend! They were busy during brunch hours so reservations are advised. Unfortunately, the portions were pretty small and meal selection not very large. The price, however, makes up for it, considering this is a brunch place in Manhattan. Would like to visit again but order appetizers in addition to a meal.
