Society Cafe Encore

Frosted Flake French toast—the name says it all. Fluffy pieces of bread dipped in egg batter and coated in crushed frosted flakes, served with caramelized bananas and chocolate whipped cream.

This sinfully delicious treat is only the beginning, served for breakfast.

Society Café Encore is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers guests a casual dining option, with modern twists on classic American cuisine.

Like the “bloodies,” three different takes on the Bloody Mary: a traditional Society Bloody, a Bloody Caesar and a Blood Orange Mimosa. Or the smoothies: strawberry, mango or vanilla protein, these are sensational. Even the juices are exotic, like watermelon and various seasonal juices.

Sometimes, healthier options are the way to go. Society Café Encore has several fruity options like the bowl of berries, fruit and granola parfait and a grapefruit brûlée, half a ruby red grapefruit with a bit of caramelized brown sugar on top.

For the rest of us, pumpkin waffles with pecan butter, the fluffiest buttermilk pancakes and Oscar Benedict, served with crab cakes, asparagus and Hollandaise sauce will satisfy our morning hunger.

Lunch and dinner at Society Café Encore provides guests quick and intriguing casual dining remedies to the sometimes boring traditional café menu. Mini quiches, a hearty market chopped salad and grilled vegetable flatbread are just the beginning.

Continue your culinary journey with a hamburger. But these aren’t just ordinary hamburgers. Perfectly juicy sirloin burgers can have toppings like your choice of cheese, caramelized onions, avocado, and bacon. Served on a perfect Challah style bun with all the trimmings, these burgers will leave you coming back for more.

Society Café Encore doesn’t reinvent the wheel. The ornately decorated restaurant features simple, warm comfort food, done right. Comfort foods like Kobe meatloaf, fish and chips, lobster pot pie, and tagliatelle Bolognese are bites of traditional recipes, perfected.

Just in case none of the above caught your eye, at Society Café Encore, you can either eat or drink your dessert. Yes, I said drink, in the form of a macaroon martini. Tempt your tongue with coconut rum, white chocolate liqueur and coconut syrup. Espresso chocolate or a spiked peppermint hot chocolate don’t disappoint either.

For the more conventional desserts, a peanut chocolate bar, warm donut bites and a banana split with almond tuile can round out your lunch or dinner.

Join Society Café Encore for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night snacks and sit on the hot pink banquette, behind the black and white striped drapes, or under the touches of green in the chandeliers.
