    The food was delicious and staff was very friendly and helpful. The hostess came over to check on how we were liking to food - particularly the octopus was delicious. And the manager Amex over and brought my daughter a complimentary cornbread (yummy) as my meal came out before hers. Would definitely go again.

    The hosting staff at Square 1682 made every effort to accommodate an ever-changing number of guests for a Sunday brunch. We had guests from many corners of the world, and I was grateful we were welcomed. We enjoyed our brunch but mostly enjoyed the opportunity to be together. Thanks to all the staff, from the hostess to our servers.

    Our party of 5 had a wonderful dining experience! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed all apps and entrees. The drinks were delicious and our waiter was very attentive but also let us enjoy our own conversations. Only slight on our experience was a slower than anticipated bar service, would still recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.
