The restaurant is located upstairs situated between Honolulu Cafe and Voltage Land. This place is a hit or miss. The prices are quite low and they have A LOT of variety on their menu. The cheese gyoza are really good! Prices after tax will come to rounded whole numbers so you don't have to scramble for the right change. Food quality is generally good although it can be quite questionable on occasion. Portion sizes are on the smaller end of the spectrum.

This is the newest addition to Glowbal's collection of restaurants. It's been hyped up so much. I was actually really excited to go, but left feeling high and dry. Glowbal's other restaurants: Coast, Trattoria, Afterglow and even Sanafir are much better than Society. The contrasting interior of the restaurant borders on overkill (reminiscent of Austin Powers mixed with Elle Woods).

Forno Meatloaf Balls - bacon, robust tomato sauce $7

These were fairly good. A nice sized, reasonably priced appetizer. The bacon wasn't especially noticeable, and the sauce was pretty unremarkable. Glowbal Afterglow also has something really similar. I wish they'd mix up their menus more.

Meatloaf - bacon, wild mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes $15

After having had the meatloaf ball appetizer, this meatloaf entree was pretty "meh". It certainly didn't look appetizing, and it tasted EXACTLY the same as the meatballs, just in a different sauce. I suppose if I hadn't already had the meatloaf ball appetizer, that these would be fairly "okay". The oil was once again a negative factor in terms of appearance. The sour cream mashed potatoes were interesting... in the sense that I can't decide whether I like them or not. ple.

Hawaiian - grilled pineapple, smoked ham, speck $14

The toppings for this pizza were pretty good, ham was a bit on the salty side though. Texture was a bit flakier than normal. It was quite a generous portion compared to the other entrees. The irregular shape gave it a bit of an eccentric but "home-made" presence, but then I compared the one we got to the one featured on the video on their website, and it looks like it wasn't actually supposed to look that way.

Baked Truffle Mac and Cheese - winter truffles, parmesan gratin $14

This was sooo tiny! probably only slightly bigger than a regular sized creme brulee! It definitely pales in comparison with the truffle mac and cheese that we had in Seattle for happy hour in terms of size. It was pretty meh.

BBQ Beef Ribs - tomato cucumber salad $18

Sorry this is a bit of a blurry picture. These beef ribs were okay. They were hard to share since the bones were huge and impossible to pass around by fork and knife. They kept falling onto the table. There was very little meat on the bone, and they look quite similar to the ribs at Uncle Willy's.

White Spot is a very nice place to eat, the restaurant is very large and the staff seem like nice people. The interior gives you a cozy at-home kind of feeling, and it is suitable for those who like casual (burgers, and pub-like) food or fancier. So onto the food.

Sweet Potato Fries

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, these cajun seasoned sweet potato fries really hit the spot. With spicy chipotle mayo dip, it lives up to the name of being Sweet Potato Fries =P What more can we ask for.

The Spot's Calamari

Lots of squid in every bite, the batter might be more deep-fried than other ones, but it tastes fantastic nonetheless.

Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla

Exactly what it is~ Great choice for Chipotle lovers!

It really should come with guacamole =P

Hot Chargrilled Chicken Caesar salad

Their Ceasar dressing has a unique taste. It doesn't leave you feeling bloated, also the chargrilled chicken goes quite well with the salad. Pretty good choice for the health-conscious, sans the garlic bread.

Mini Apple Cinnamon Crumble

Delicious! Just what you'd expect an apple crumble dessert to taste like. Caramel drizzled on top of vanilla icecream with crunchy crumble and baked apples.
