Dinner at 42 North Social House was a treat! The crispy calamari was crunchy and tasty with the dipping sauces, the chicken paillard was fresh and full of flavor, and the Caesar salad hit the spot. But the real star? The bread — hot, crispy outside, soft inside, with butter so good we could have made a meal of it. Great vibe, good service, and food that makes you want to come back.

Such a great night at 42 North Social House! The food was incredible—huge kudos to Chef John. Liz gave us wonderful service and was so kind and attentive. Brian, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommend!

House Manhattan was very tasty and ample. Likes the spherical ice.
Tomato Bisque was rich and creamy but came out lukewarm.
Jambalaya was very good and not too spicy.
Scallops were excellent, moist and cooked just right. Served with grits formed and slightly crispy. Very nice.
Service was great and attentive. One of our meal requests for non dairy was forgotten but the replacement meal came out very fast.
Would definitely go back.

This space has changed hands a few times over the years. The folks at 42 North Social House have restored it to its former glory in a few ways. First, the atmosphere is quieter and more comfortable. Second, the service was prompt, knowlegeable, and friendly. Finally, the food was delicous!

My wife had a salad with salmon on it. The salmon was a non-menu addition that made her very happy. The dressing was not too heavy and the fish was cooked perfectly.

We shared some carrots that has a very nice sauce and they were also cooked perfectly. Not too soggy and not too crunchy.

I have the jambalaya. I’ve had a lot of bad ones above the Mason-Dixon line, so I was hesitant to order it. Our server said another guest told him it was the best he’d had up North and he was apparently from New Orleans, so I ordered it. It was very good. The rice was cooked perfectly and the balance of ingredients was spot on. I particularly appreciated that it wasn’t over-salted, a common problem with this dish.

We have had a great experience at 42. The ingredients are fresh and it’s pricy for the area but everything is of high quality.

I really appreciate their spirit-free options as someone that doesn’t drink alcohol but misses cocktails.

My wife and I came here on 11.2.24. First time since the Filmore closed. Read some reviews before coming here. First the atmosphere was beautiful. Well done on the inside. I started off with oysters on the half shell. Excellent!! My meal was the Jambalaya and a ceasar salad. Salad was great. Jambalaya had lots of flavors and was very good. Would get again. My wife had the Butcher Burger. Very tender and great flavors. Fries came in a stainless steel cup. Fries were hot and stayed hot. Next Dessert. Homemade carrot cake (HUGE) portion with a Burbon butterscotch sauce. Delicious!! Our waitress Liz was very nice and did a great job. We both loved being here and will come back again and again.

My husband, daughters and I finally visited 42 North Social House after relocating to Dexter, and it was a great experience. Best local food to date in Dexter. The staff were welcoming. It was a not super busy Monday night, and we were celebrating my husband’s 47th birthday. In my Resy reservation notes, I just mentioned it was our first time here and the occasion was my husbands birthday. He ordered the filet medallions Diane, I tried the jambalaya, my daughter ordered the salmon (similar to blackened) and younger daughter kept it light with a Caesar salad. Husband also ordered a smoked whiskey-based cocktail and it was presented basking in smoke under a cloche- first time I’ve seen that presentation in 52 years. My husband enjoyed his cocktail, the calamari (kids enjoyed that, too) and his main course. My jambalaya was good, nice flavors, good texture, several well prepared butterflied and shelled shrimp on top. The pear margarita was best consumed without a straw as it was a little sweet and needed the salt on the rim to balance the sweetness.
I think the biggest surprises were: 1. the complimentary dessert that we had to take to go because we were full from our meals and 2. when we went to pay, 42 North comped my husbands entire entree. That was unbelievably generous! We had already decided we plan to return as we enjoyed the atmosphere and food, and we’d like to eat outside on the deck in summer. The staff were so welcoming and kind, however, it was an amazing experience overall. I do recommend 42 North – it’s not too formal, but a step up from the other restaurants in town – not just bar-food or brunch. Great fresh vegetables and sides, nicely presented, but if you are down for a burger and fries, they offer that, too.

Went here to have a nice quiet drink with the girlfriend. Very nice tasting drinks that were garnished beautifully. Awesome and quiet atmosphere. Professional bartender who knew what he was doing. Didn’t try the food, but all of it looked great! A little more on the pricy side, but you get what you pay for.

Great food, the staff was awesome. i felt bad as they had to deal with an unruly family with out-of-control kids. The red-haired mom was clearly overwhelmed and not exactly motherly to anyone, and was extremely rude to the staff.
i was sure to leave a great tip as this family left without tipping.

First off, let me say that the atmosphere is amazing! It’s a great location in a quiet area of the city and, inside and out, the presentation and decor are perfect. The service, while not so perfect (a bit slow, a little inaccurate) is pretty attentive and nice. Unfortunately, the food does not match the rest. Dishes that should seemingly be flavorful and rich (rigatoni, chowder) were watery and bland. Our entree salad came with no dressing on it (yes, it was supposed to have it) and when we asked for more dressing, we got just a little bit on the side and no culpability shown for truly not making the dish correctly. While the wine list and ambiance are great, I doubt that I’d return being that all four dishes we tried were unimpressive despite a hefty price tag.
