The risotto I had was bland and underwhelming with flavor. The appetizers were good though, with burrata and charcuterie as refreshing and surprisingly filling starters.

We were sat right next to the heater and it was so uncomfortable. We physically had to move our table, then put our coats on top of the vent to block. Eventually the manger turned the beat down but it was very uncomfortable.

The whipped ricotta and honey toast with figs was a nice start to the meal. And the Square 1682 burger was delicious!

But I ordered a burger and it was basically burnt. The restaurant was empty but we were seated all the way in the back by the kitchen. It was my first time at 1682 and I'm not sure I'll be going again anytime soon.

However, we wanted to try a location with excellent food and the ability to talk w/o screaming. 1682 was perfect—a great holiday ambiance with excellent eggs benedict (we had salmon and roasted pork) and many other choices like pumpkin spice oatmeal that I'll come back for.
