Society

I had heard so many bad reviews about this place but, as a food blogger, decided to try it out anyways. All my friends that have already been to Society told me that the place was nice, girly and loungy. This was true. They also told me that the food here sucks. Also true.
I called this a good start to a bad night.. Buffalo Jumbo Prawns. They have taken this off the menu.. too bad because they were very good and fresh! The chef probably doesn't like to have tasty things on the menu.
Hawaiian Pizza for one. I did not like this at all. I'd pick Pizza Hut over this any day. The dough was undercooked and burnt at the same time. The crust was dry and hard, and there wasn't enough sauce.
Spaghetti and Kobe Meatballs. I don't understand how Italian Kitchen and Society are the both part of Glowbal, but can have completely opposite Kobe meatballs. How hard is it to make Kobe meatballs!? Let me tell you how these tasted: like over processed ground beef. The pasta was well over done, the goat cheese was watery and the bread was inedible.

All in all, this is more of a drinking after a real dinner place, NOT a place to have a good meal. I do not recommend Society for their food what so ever. However, I am willing to give it another shot so look out for my second post on this restaurant

Verace: lll be back for your Burrata.

It's been weeks since my last post.. But I've been so busy and SICK for the past week :(

I was referred here by Fat Panda Vancouver so be sure to check out her blog! I had never tried pizza from a wood fired oven before so we decided to give this a try..
The interior is nice and modern. Our server had told us they have only been open for over a year. This place is already booming on Urbanspoon.
The best thing I had that night. Burrata $14.50. This is a rosemary pizza bread paired with Burrata cheese, lemon olive oil and a balsamic reduction. You're probably thinking "15 bucks for bread and cheese?" But I would order this over and over again.
Ricca $7.25. Everything on this plate went well together. And there we're alot of ingredients mixed in. If this is a small, imagine how big the large size is!
The oven. I think he was a little bothered with the paparazzi.. (me). He didn't wanna look at the camera..
Quattro Stagioni $17.75. We added arugula on top for $1.50. I liked the pizza but not the crust. Im a very picky woman with my crusts and if its not crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, I won't eat it. This one was a little too chewy, almost hard and I couldn't get it down.. Sorry Verace! By the way, if you like your pizza pre-cut, let them know before hand because they don't cut them for you! Gives a more authentic feeling but I prefer it otherwise.
