This summer time the oldsters behind Agave & Rye opened a brand new companion restaurant in Grandview referred to as Loco Social. It’s hooked up to the neighborhood location of the taco joint, within the former Spagio Cellars area for individuals who bear in mind!
Loco Social is a part of the EPIC Manufacturers restaurant group, which operates Agave & Rye areas round Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and different states, plus Son of a Butcher Steakhouse in Liberty Township. Additionally they operated bygone Columbus eateries similar to de-NOVO bistro & bar downtown.
Their common branding and decor – and Loco Social suits the invoice completely – is, in a phrase, BUSY. There’s a heavy choice on shiny pinks and greens, partitions are completely coated in murals, lighting is massive and dramatic, seating is eclectic, greenery fills each nook and cranny. It may be loads to absorb.
The menu, in the meantime, is each bit as frenetic, each in design and scope. Loco Social focuses on all-day brunch + tiki cocktails + pastries + bubble tea. It’s enjoyable, sure, but additionally loads to course of.
Right here’s the Lavender State of Thoughts with Prosecco, candy vermouth, glowing lemon soda, and lavender easy syrup. The rim is dusted with lavender-tinged sugar.
Subsequent to that’s the Morning After Bloody Mary, made merely with vodka, home Blood Mary combine, and “nibbles.”
After which the menu dives into acai bowls, salads, sandwiches, pancakes and French toast, biscuits, egg dishes, even a pair Agave & Rye classics.
That is the Aloha salmon bowl, fairly generously loaded with salmon, edamame, mushrooms, cucumbers, wasabi mayo, and far more. It was filling and properly seasoned.
Or the superbly plated Convey the Spicy on Child benedict with andouille sausage, poached eggs, chile de arbol, cotija, and hollandaise on biscuits. Very effectively achieved, so far as benedicts go.
The birria hash might not be a lot to take a look at, nevertheless it’s fascinating nonetheless. Sluggish-cooked birria is combined with peppers, jalapeño, and a jalapeño bacon chutney on a hash muffin, served with two eggs cooked to order.
We stopped by to eyeball the eclectic mixture of pastries and snag a bubble tea earlier than we left. Additionally they promote juices and have a full espresso bar.
Loco Social is a little bit of journey, however we had been stunned by the standard of the fare. It’s actually price testing!
It’s open from 7:30 a.m. to three p.m. every day.
