Last Night's Dinner – Social Kitchen

Melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked lamb shoulder, creamy blue cheese gnocchi and hearty charcuterie make Social Kitchen one of our favourite addresses in the Naki.
When it comes to hearty grazing plates, Social Kitchen have it down to an art form.
Follow the scent of slow-cooked lamb or marbled Angus beef and prepare yourself for an evening of pure degustational delight, because Social Kitchen deliver nothing less.
If you're opposed to a menu where meat reigns supreme, the flavoursome vege sides and heavenly blue cheese gnocchi are bound to satisfy; however the taxidermy on display from wall-to-wall probably may not be your atmosphere of choice.
The interior fit-out is befitting of the menu, leather-clad private dining booths boast a casual bistro-feel, while the centrally-located floating iron bar houses nothing but the hard stuff.
