Went on their parma night. Chips really good, the seasoning was good. Atmosphere was good, very ambient. Food came quickly depsite it being busy. However they did only have 2 wait staff on, and it was very busy. We requested sauce 3x and didn't get it. Parma was small, bit dry and disappointing. In the pictures it looks like it comes with a side salad which is why we chose this place, but it actually cost extra for salad. On balance, wouldn't come again.

Richmond Social was the chosen venue for dinner with a friend. Said friend and my husband had both been on multiple occasions but it was my first time and I must say I was most impressed with the venue fit out. It may be a pub but it's not of the dodgy variety you may find elsewhere in the surrounding suburbs.

I chose the lemon pepper calamari but couldn't resist the smashed avocado chips for an entree. Unfortunately I didn't really think about the fact that my calamari had chips (hubby also had a parma which came with chips) so there was a bit of a potato overload on the table. Particularly given the chips to calamari ratio. Our friend chose a risotto and some arancini as an entree.

Sadly the avo chips didn't quite measure up. The avocado itself may have been mashed up hours before considering the shade of it and it wasn't really working for me. In contrast, the chips served with our mains were stellar. Really sensational seasoning and easily the star of the plate. The calamari had flavour enough but if I had my time again I would have opted for the tacos

Dined here for lunch before going to the Anzac day footy match at MCG. Disappointing all round, no staff, over an hour wait for food, no cocktails. Food & drinks are overpriced & quality underwhelming then add on the public holiday surcharges. I had the pulled pork tacos that were flavourless. Do not recommend & will not return.

I thought it was worth trying the Richmond Social for a pub meal.
Bunch of loud people there watching the cricket and cheering, fair enough.
The chicken Parma is alright, cheesey enough, tasty enough. And some fine standard beers on tap ???-🍅🧀???-🍺

Very disappointed at my recent experience here. To put it bluntly, the customer service was appalling. At the end of the night, a mouse was running around the restaurant. While I can understand this can happen, the staffs response to this was very disappointing. When the mouse was pointed out to the staff, we were met with a woman in a very condescending tone say "there are lots of mice and rats in Richmond... we can't do anything about it." We live in Richmond and I can confidently say that any restaurant I have dined in, has not had vermin running around. I had a friend with me who has a genuine phobia of mice and she was understandably upset by this. There was no acknowledgement what so ever that having a mouse openly running around a restaurant, could be an issue for some people. All of the staff also spent the majority of the evening standing around together laughing and our tables were not cleared for quite some time. The man serving me at the bar did not know how to make a lemon lime bitters, nor did he know what Pinot Gris was. Definitely won't be back and I will be telling anyone I know not to come to this venue.
