This review is based on four separate dining experiences here. \n\nSociety Cafe in Encore has a strikingly elegant dining room of black and white drapes and decor -- a paradox to its casual dining experience (there's a mini sports bar inside the cafe). It is that sort of peculiar juxtaposition that makes this place interesting. \n\nThe menu appears to be stock with typical diner standards of burgers, sliders, club sandwiches, usual breakfast options, European salads, and steak selections. Unlike most cafes and diners, Society Cafe balances cool with class and friendly service. \n\nI had the filet sliders the first time here for dinner. The patty was nicely cooked with a perfect hint of pink. This set of tiny burgers are complemented with grilled onions and house horseradish sauce. The combination of condiments give the sliders a slight gamey taste resembling buffalo. It is served alongside an aluminum cup of thin fries (you can choose between sweet potato or russet), which were crispy and not too salty. \n\nMy second entree was the American Kobe burger. The patty was nicely seasoned and cooked. My only complaint was that the burger buns were under, which broke apart upon gripping. The face could have used a minute or so extra on the grill.\n\nI reserve my praise for the roast salmon. It was beautifully cooked, moist. The hint of sweet and sour from the accompanying citrus salad balances out the fish. The pilaf was wonderfully al dente. It was the highlight of my repeated visits.\n\nIf you come here for breakfast, I recommend the banana french toast; it's pleasantly light (not too sweet) despite its description. Also, be sure to try some of the fresh-squeezed juices, most notably grapefruit and orange.
