Barramundi Tosca Style
Lindsay G.

One of my favorite restaurants! Fabulous food, beautiful ambience, and delicious cocktails, their martinis are even served in an ice glass- genius! I just tried the barramundi and it was phenomenal, I'm definitely ordering that again! Their Sleigh Bells pop-up in the bar area features a special drink menu and is a-must-stop during the holiday season! They also have a great happy hour from 3-6p on Mondays and Fridays throughout the whole restaurant, not just the bar area! I also love that they are family oriented and give children a dough ball to play with and then they bake it and serve it with cinnamon sugar for their dessert. Wonderful place and owners!

Barramundi Tosca Style

Had a nice meal at jbaldwins. Service was slow on a Friday evening. We were there for 3 hours for 2 courses, but it allowed us to catch up and enjoy the live music in the bar area. I loved the appetizer and my entree was very good. Our server was very nice and attentive.

Side salad

We had a gift card and came here for dinner. The restaurant is perfect for a date night. For me, I wouldn't bring my kids here, but it was perfect for just my wife and me. I had the short ribs and they were unbelievably tender. I literally was able to "cut" it with a spoon. So, so good!

Crab Cakes appetizer 4/5
Kayleigh W.

Came here as a party of 6 at 6:30 on a Wednesday, which is $20 off bottles of wine. We booked a reservation, but it turned out to be unneeded as there were many open tables when we arrived. Our waitress was very attentive, even in filling up our tiny water glasses every few minutes - I recommend asking to have a pitcher brought and left on the table. Food: The meatball appetizer was very yummy. The warm brie was pretty good with extremely crunchy toasts; fun but I wouldn't order again. Those that ordered the salmon and Barramundi fish were pleased with their meal. As was the person who got the lamb chop. My appetizer crab cakes as an entre were the perfect size after the other apps. I should have gotten the horseradish sauce on the side, but they were tasty with the slaw. The Detroit style pizza came out as a flat pizza, which upset the teen, and he didn't want to wait for it to be remade. The beef Spiedini special was very underdone and had to be sent back. While he waited, my partner received a free Reuben soup special. This was the star of the night! Very tasty and creative. The second Spiedini plate was better with the middle still rather rare. He could only have a few bites after filling up on soup and trying other dishes. It should make solid leftovers. It was my birthday and they brought out yummy complimentary cake with ganache and a candle at the end. Side note: The bar area is super cute! It would be fun to come here with a few friends and split a discount bottle on a Wednesday if we lived in the area. I'd come back for the Reuben soup.

Calamari -

This was just sad. It lacked flavor and was soggy. It was overall disappointing. For the price point was not impressed.

Food is always delicious and reasonably priced. Service is always impeccable. Ambiance of hit or miss. Sometimes it's so loud I just can't stand it in there. But thankfully they now have outdoor seating, and if it's not too hot or cold outside, the seating is acceptable.

My mother wanted to check out this spot. We have been to other locations out of state. The roast duck looks decent here. Ordered their fried calamari, warm Brie, truffle fries, blackened sword fish, mousaaka, goat beet salad, creme brûlée, strawberry tiramisu. $201.40 The mousaka was good, lots of shredded lamb meat in it. The beet goat cheese was a good size and was good. The sword wish was nicely cooked, more tender than expected, but too fishy tasting for me, but my husband enjoyed it. The roasted duck was good, the orange sauce wasn't my thing, it was way too sweet for me. The calamari is good, light breading and nice and tender too, not too rubbery. I can see why it's so popular. The truffle fries were good as well. The warmed Brie wasn't bad, the bread was simple white sliced toast, was definitely expecting something better than that. The side salad and the Caesar was okay. The creme brûlée is lovely, the cream is so light and delightful. The strawberry tiramisu was okay, different, not my favorite. The service was really good. John took really good care of us.

Crème Brulee
Becca W.

Saturday night and place was super busy! Had a lot of regulars you could tell as they were talking with each of the serves like they knew them forever. Already decorated for Christmas looks super nice. Ordered the filet and was cooked to perfection the mashed potatoes were so creamy and buttery. The crab cakes were absolutely delicious with a type of cold slaw mix underneath added to the flavor and of course had to get creme brulee to go! Definitely a delicious meal.

Chicken Bella was so good! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the entire dish was delicious!

The service was impeccable!Our food was absolutely delicious! Everything was perfect! Can't wait to go back!!

Menu

Let me just start with the dipping sauce for the bread. It is amazing!! It's pesto based but very light and delicious. I ordered the fish and chips and it was also very good. The breading was just right and the portion was large with three generous pieces. It came with shoestring fries and a vinegar-based coleslaw. Service was good. Live music was enjoyable as well. All around very good evening here.

Ordered bread, a byo calzone & a byo pizza. Order was ready & waiting when I arrived. Our pizza had…read morepepperoni, sausage, onions, & pineapple. The calzone had pineapple & mild peppers. Everything was fantastic. The pizza had the soft dough that becomes a crunch as your teeth bite in. The sauce is mild & thick with tomato. Perfect ration of cheese and sauce, plentiful toppings. Highly recommend!

Square One is one of better local pizzerias around. If you couldn't tell by the name, square pizzas…read moreare its specialty. Breads, salads, subs, and wings are on the menu, as well. The cheese bread is a nice compliment to your pizza of choice. What makes the bread more enjoyable though are the housemade ranches. The options are classic or "raging." The raging ranch definitely has a kick, but it's tolerable. As for the pizza, I have 2 favorites, the chicken coop and mama's meatball pizza. The meatball pizza's generous amount of meatballs and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top make it reminiscent of a homemade pasta dinner. BBQ chicken pizzas typically feature shredded chicken. What I like about the chicken coop, is that it features bite-sized pieces of fried chicken instead. Regardless of which pizza you order, I recommend the "all corner" option. Any time I can support an independently owned business, like Square One, over a franchise, I will. The food I've had has been exceptional, and is also competitively priced.
