I went to this restaurant with my family to celebrate my graduation, a group of seven. The food was really good, but the waitress wasn't very pleasant and quite racist . She seemed uncomfortable and awkward when dealing with us. Although I have a strong accent in English, I've never been perceived like this in other restaurants. The idea was to celebrate a special day for me withmy family, but we felt awkward in her presence. She displayed a lot of discomfort when interacting with us, appearing very elitist. Additionally, my mother-in-law brought a cake for my celebration, and the waitress even charged a fee for each person at the table to have it cut and served. I've been to many similar restaurants and have never encountered this type of fee before. Once again, while the food was good, the service should match, especially considering the amount we're paying. I won't be returning to this place

You can find a cheaper place and get better food. Nothing was on point! Even the bacon is dry

Square 1682 in the heart of Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, is where culinary artistry meets chic urban vibes. Picture two remarkable floors of contemporary design, adorned with chic urban ecology, and then add delectable New American cuisine to the mix. The result? A dining experience that’s nothing short of extraordinary! Whether you’re there for brunch, lunch, or dinner, Square 1682 delivers. Their Duck Wings, Bacon Wrapped Dates, and Lancaster Duck Confit are flavor-packed delights that’ll leave you craving more. And let’s not forget the Jerk Chicken—a spicy, soulful masterpiece that’ll transport you to the Caribbean. But wait, there’s more! The Blend Burger, Braised Beef Short Ribs, and Caffe Con Leche Panna Cotta are equally impressive. Plus, their Lobster Bisque and Grilled Octopus are like poetry on a plate. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a leisurely meal, Square 1682’s impeccable service and inventive menu make it a must-visit. So, gather your food-loving friends and head over to this culinary gem—it’s a dining adventure you won’t soon forget!

Just finished breakfast and had the best omlette I’ve ever tasted in the USA. Perfectly cooked. Not wet in the middle like most diners and restaurants seem to do here.Staff are friendly, professional and show interest. Nice location and setting within the city. Would highly recommend.

Brunch was absolutely amazing!! Had the french toast and it was absolutely divine!! I sat at the bar and the bartender was so attentive! The hardest part here is I think you’re better off getting a reservation if you know you want to eat here because its at the bottom of a hotel so a lot of people from the hotel will be dining there (thankfully we didn’t mind sitting at the bar)

In a hotel where the rooms invite,Lies a restaurant that's quite alright.The fare is good, prices kind and neat,Though they're short on staff, the service can't be beat.Friendly faces in a hurry, making dining quite a delight.It's a nice spot, though not one to astound,Where average eats are commonly found.But in this ambiance, one can't complain,For the warmth and speed wash away any disdain.A decent choice, where modest pleasure is bound.

We had an excellent experience. The hostess Tanya was so welcoming and friendly, the waitress was attentive, and the food was great. They even surprised us with a dessert since it was our anniversary.
We had afternoon drinks our first day there. The bartender (lady) was cordial and welcoming. She made a nice mixed drink for me. The next morning, my breakfast order was fresh and tasty. Would consider the hotel and this restaurant inside it, again.

Yum! My friends and I had the opportunity to visit this place for lunch during restaurant week. Our server was excellent. Our meal was good as well, not one complaint from the group. The restaurant week dessert, we had mixed feeling about, but the overall vibe of the place was awesome!

we went here for a friend's birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. the food was super tasty and it was a fair price for how good it was. the birthday girl ended up getting the chef's menu which allowed tasting of the best dishes at the establishment. she offered us bites of everything and it was fantastic. if you can afford it, definitely go for the tasting menu. it's pretty dim in this establishment, but this is not surprising for a lot of restaurants nowadays. if i'm not mistaken, i believe it's black owned, so it's a plus to support someone that looks like myself. i could be totally wrong, but i swear i saw this somewhere? it's rather small so you may need to do a reservation.

I went here with the person who posted the review before mine. I already enjoyed the space, and then I met Devin who really made the effort to build a great experience for us. He was really wonderful to chat with too! Cannot emphasize enough how much he made my night after an exhausting day.

Devin was an amazing host. He went above and beyond to make our experience great, replacing my wet take out box with a new one. This place is so blessed to have such a caring host.
