Tartar
Heather L.

I can't stress enough how magical the flavors are. Each bite has depth. Flavor upon flavor upon flavor - they sink in & fall together like perfection. Crudo, pork Milanese, sweet potato dumplings and squash with pomegranate stole the show - freaking amazing as always. The venison tartare had a mustard base which I enjoyed. I still have a preference for the tartare version served a couple years ago with briny capers though. I hope they bring it back.

Mezze rigatoni with oxtail
Jess F.

I came to Squable for my birthday dinner and it was an amazing meal! The interior is lively with an open bar and a pretty loud noise level, yet the service is so good that it keeps the restaurant at an elevated level. They have smaller shared plates and we were recommended to order 5, with 2 of them being main plates, for two people. For our cold plate we got the venison tartare, which was a standout not because of the tartare but actually because of the shoestring fries. Absolutely delicious, probably the best fries I've ever had. The tartare was also delicious but much lighter in flavor besides the mustard, honestly it was a little overpowered by the fries. For our hot plates we got the lamb chops and the charred broccoli. The broccoli was one of my favorite plates surprisingly, with a strong dill and cilantro flavor that paired well with the overall tanginess of the plate. The lamb chops were also delicious with super tender meat that fell off the bone, however it was quite fatty. The sauce it comes in is quite light which was a good balance. For our mains, we got the branzino and the rigatoni. The branzino was quite good, with a delicious sauce and a perfect sear on the skin. The fish was deboned as well. The rigatoni, on the other hand, was probably our least favorite dish. There was a horseradish gremolata that was quite strong and not our favorite. The oxtail sauce on the pasta was also quite rich but the flavors were a little dull for what we expected, disappointingly. However, we're excited to try new dishes next time, and the menu changes frequently so we'll get to taste something new! For dessert, we got the chocolate cherry torte which was AMAZING. Definitely on the sweet side, but luckily it doesn't cross the line. I also got a snickerdoodle cookie for my birthday with a candle which was sweet! Ultimately Squable has definitely earned its reputation as a delicious spot in the Heights and I can't wait to come back!

Taste wise. A very great brunch. What takes away from it is the service, price for what you get, and little hiccups. I would say that as a non brunch person, I genuinely enjoyed most of our dishes. I didn't enjoy the overly brisk attitude. Our plates were just plopped down in front of us with no description, no nothing. Like the tater tots are 32 dollars for 6 blocks I would like some little into or blurb ( the tots are delicious btw). We also had to ask the waitress for new plates quite a bit. No one wants to eat a burger off a plate that just had jam and whipped cream on it. Also, we came for a friends birthday so I thought they would do something but no. Idk maybe places don't care if it's your birthday anymore. I would maybe come back for brunch but I'm not rushing back to pay new American prices with mid tier customer service.

This place was so good half way through I forgot to take more pictures ‍‍ The parking is pretty decent, but the restaurant is pretty small inside. I recommend making reservations. When we got there, we had to wait a little longer than expected . I think we waited like an extra 15 minutes but worth the wait! It was also on a Friday as well. We ordered a bunch of shareable items. This place is definitely a shareable tapas type vibe. definitely recommend. Fun fact. We asked the restaurant manager why it was seemed squabble. Because squabble is what people do when they fight. They said the owners that were creating this restaurant could not decide on a name and they were squabbling about it. So they decided to just call it squabble.

Afterglow mocktails
Leena C.

Tastebuds awakened. Met the bestie for our monthly girl's date. She is the best. Roughly 6 min from home so plus plus. We had a 7:30 pm reservation. (Reserve, reserve, reserve) The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. Clean, organized. And dimly lit. There is a patio but it was roughly 40 something outside so no thanks. We were sat at a quaint table by the wall that had a nice light pouring downward. The menu is small. They have a full bar so cocktails and mocktails. Our order: afterglow (cocktail), kanpachi crudo, dumplings, charred broccoli, vegetable lasagna, seared branzino, chocolate hazelnut budino Kanpachi crudo (4.5/5) - delightfully refreshing and delicious; the citrusy sauce paired perfectly with fish dumplings (2.5/5) - recommended bc of its popularity but it just wasn't for us; the wrapping was overly soft and the filling wasn't enough to get a definitive flavor - the overall presentation was nice but it just wasn't our thing Charred broccoli (4/5) - the sauce had a combo of tangy, nutty creaminess which paired well with the charring of the broccoli Vegetable lasagna (4/5) - very hearty, for vegetarian only dish, it's def a twig in lasagna because at first glance it reminded me of French toast, def worth the hype Seared branzino (3.2/5) - I think my expectations were high; the fish was thin, the skin was a bit overcooked in certain parts making it chewy - it wasn't bad but it just didn't hit the spot Chocolate hazelnut budino (3/5) - reminded us of Ferrero roche it was a nice ending to our meal The menu changes. So make sure to look online before reserving. The staff is incredible. Everyone was nice and friendly. They do talk fast when describing the dishes Parking is two smaller lots and if you go on the weekend be prepared because it's in a corner with a variety of restaurants and shops. Def think it's a place everyone with an open palate should try.

Was back in town visiting friends and FINALLY got to try this spot. The ambiance is great, low lighting that's perfect for an intimate dinner with friends or date night. There's also plenty of seating - there was a large group dining at the same time as us, so the restaurant can definitely accommodate that. We tried so many things. We got the squash, the lamb ribs, the broccoli, the rigatoni, the chicken, and the white fish (I forget the name). Everything was DELICIOUS. Our favorites were definitely the squash, the chicken, and the broccoli. We were a group of three, and these five plates were the perfect amount for us to share. Overall, I'd definitely recommend for a fancier dinner with friends or family!

Brocoli
Alex S.

10/10 everything was excellent- server was so nice. Mussel bread and leeks and chicken and oxtail rigatoni and... wait I'm listing everything- but truly everything was insanely unique and delicious flavor!

Savanna B.

It was great and I LOVED sitting at the bar! Went here for Valentine's Day with my girlfriend and it was fabulous, the food and the staff!

Josh W.

Really cool spot. Absolutely love furniture and the overall look and feel of the spot. We had breakfast items aside from the pasta dish but all were fantastic. Really want to come back here and try more items.

Loaded fries
Theresa V.

Went here for bunch mainly for the beef fat tater tots after seeing them on instagram. However, everything was delicious. We also got the dutch baby, kanpachi crudo and loaded fries. They asked if we could tolerate spicy for the loaded fries and we overestimated ourselves, but the flavors were so good! The tater tots were crispy and melted in your mouth -- a sort of play on sour cream and onions, the salmon roe giving little punches of salt. The dutch baby with the bacon was a perfect mix of sweet and savory, made me miss making dutch babies at home. We'll have to come back for dinner.

Mesquite smoke Lamb Ribs
Jenn P.

Squable never misses. I have been multiple times and I always enjoy it. Parking can be a little tricky since the lot is small, but there is street parking available. I have tried most things on the menu and I love that they change it up every so often. On my most recent visit I had the lamb ribs and the cheeseburger. Both were amazing and worth ordering again. One thing I always have to get is the charred broccoli. It is one of my favorite dishes there. Also do not sleep on the vegetable lasagne. It is so good! Consistently great food, great service, and a menu that keeps things exciting. Always a go to spot for me!

Steak tartare
Júlia P.

Great quality and truly original food with amazing European flavors. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted and full of character. I love coming here and ordering a variety of things to share -- the menu is perfect for that kind of experience. The plates are beautifully presented and ideal for tasting a little bit of everything at the table. I highly recommend the branzino and the steak tartare.

Cafe liegeois dessert
Mallory B.

I have been wanting to try Squable for YEARS! I finally made it in and really enjoyed it. It's a very small place with bar seating and indoor and outdoor seating. I sat at the outdoor bar and was very well taken care of by the bartenders. The Sourdough, which comes with Turkish eggs was delicious! I had not created a plan on what I was going to order and when I saw that on the menu I had to get it after having a very similar dish in New Orleans. The only thing that would've made it better is some Turkish spice (dukkah) to really top off the flavors. The Cafe Liegeois dessert was incredibly delicious! It had the perfect coffee flavor and enough to share. The espresso martini and melon margarita were both delicious as well.

Ask the Community - Squable

Is kids friendly?

Definitely in terms of atmosphere, but the menu may be a little too advanced for them

Is there valet parking?

No, not when we went. They have a parking lot and we didn't have trouble parking.

Is there a happy hour menu?

Last I was here in January, we had a note in our check saying HH is 4-6 weekdays at the Bar Top. 1/2 off all booze

What time does Sunday brunch end for dinner to start? Or are both menus available all day?

Brunch ends at 3:59 and Dinner starts at 4:00.

From looking at the pics the Dutch Baby is not a pancake? Please explain, a starter? Main dish? Side?

It's more of a pastry dish with a thin bottom layer and a flakey crust. It's more on the savory side with a bit of sweetness. A must IMHO. Would work best as a starter or a side. Try the dessert bread to end the meal! Both were excellent.

Is the patio dog-friendly?

As of 9/24/19, the patio is NOT dog friendly. Confirmed via phone call with Angelica.

I went midday, but they still have brunch on the weekend which was a good option. I did get the smoked wings along with fried brussels sprouts. They have poor boys sandwiches and they have small plates. They have a really good size bar area and and outdoor enclosed patio along with a regular patio. The parking lot is very small. The parking lot was full when I was there, even though the restaurant was empty so they're not a lot of parking spaces. Just know if you go...they did have happy hour. I plan on trying to make it back for that. The Service was really good and my food was fire. I enjoyed my smoked wings. They had three different flavors. I got the buffalo and the fry brussels sprouts were a different take on brussels . I did Enjoy this definitely will return.

There was even a dance lesson happening when we walked in, which made the whole experience feel extra fun and unique. Service was great! Our server was super friendly, energetic, and checked on us without being overbearing. We decided to sit outside and got taken care of quickly. We started with a half dozen Gulf oysters, which came with all the fixings. The standout was actually the crackers. It had this seafood seasoning that paired perfectly with the fresh oysters. We also ordered the jalapeno cheddar cornbread (made to order), which came out after our mains, but was 100% worth the wait! It was crispy on the outside, with a fluffy inside, and a nice, cheesy, slightly sweet kick. For mains, I had the grilled shrimp po'boy. The shrimp was perfectly grilled, and it had a great texture. The bread was also delicious; it was crispy but not too hard, so it didn't scrape against the roof of your mouth as you chewed. My fiancé got the gochujang smoked wings, which he said had a really nice smoky flavor. Overall, great food, great service, and a chill atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

We had been here more than a year ago and it was so crowded. The prices are not sky high, but this is not an inexpensive restaurant. So we expect things to be very good or excellent. It was! The service was simply excellent, the food also excellent and it is such a beautiful place. I had the chicken and kept thinking that the dish might need salt. There was none on the table. But two bites in and I realized it was perfect and needed nothing. My wife ordered a Ramos Gin fizz. You cannot get those just anywhere, and like my Gin Martini it was perfect. It was our anniversary and they gave us some prosecco on the house and remembered it with happy anniversary wishes written on our dessert dish. Happily we will return.

It's off Yale and 14th street and limited valet available so it's easier to get street parking…read more Pluses 1. Drinks are good 2. Brie appetizer is tasty 3. Omelet with racketeering and crawfish etouffee was tasty Areas to improve 1. We booked patio because we wanted to be outside - they had a large baby shower that took over the large room and patio. It looks like it had been planned in advance so it would have been nice to know that the patio was not available . 2. Coffee service - the cup is really small and our server spilled the coffee out of the cup several times. That is just unprofessional to me when the cup is then soaking in the dish with coffee outside the cup. Plus it wasn't refilled as often. 3. Dishes are hit or miss - his shrimp and grits seemed to be a small portion and just bland and blah. 4. Restrooms are really dark 5. Patio outside looks unappealing there are dead plants and lanky wax leaf which gives terrible allergies. Also they have fake plants and also live ones inside the restaurant, but the inside orchids were dried up and dead looking so not fresh or appealing either. I know it's under new management so it might be hit or miss.

The ambiance and service is absolutely phenomenal as well! We started off with the Green Flag, a basil based French 75, and a glass of Tempranillo. Sooo good. The infamous Nancy Cakes definitely met my expectations as well. Somehow they're light and dense at the same time, and the butter and roe are so flavorful with the light cakes. I loved them! The most memorable dish was the lamb tartare. I was blown away by the absence of the usual gaminess of lamb meat, which always scares me with lamb dishes. There was a bit of spice with the base sauce as well, and the charred sesame naan on the side was amazingggg. Definitely a favorite! The yellowtail crudo was a little bit spicy, a little more smoky, and very deep in flavor. Unfortunately we got this dish a bit later in the rotation so we were super full at this point, but I would definitely order again!! The uni crudo was definitely memorable, but probably my least favorite bite of the meal. Everything meshed together nicely, but honestly nothing really stood out within the bite. Probably wouldn't get this again, but I did enjoy it! The beef sticky rice was a side dish that surprisingly stood out! The toasted shallots and onions on top were delicious, and the rice was a perfect chewiness. It came with a fermented chili beurre blanc sauce that paired nicely as well. It helped that the sauce came in a cute little cow container! Finally, we had to get a unique dessert to finish off the meal. We got the Parmesan cheesecake with honey and pepper - this will live in my head forever. An unexpected savory sweet combination in a crustless cheesecake, with plenty of honey drizzle and peppercorns that balanced everything out. The drink pairing was super sweet but a great balance to the dessert! I will never forget this meal. I cannot WAIT to come back to Nancy's Hustle!
