    Brunch Burger w/ salad
    Shanel S.

    Cindy!! Cindy can manage a large rowdy crowd. We had not seen each other in a while so loud conversations, passing of foods, not hearing 'I have a steak and eggs' was in effect! We all received our food hot and at the same time. That takes practice and it is rare to find. Cindy kept us busy by keeping the drinks coming, laughing and being personable. It's always the soft skills for me I had the classic breakfast and everything from the perfectly cooked eggs (no brown) to perfect turkey bacon (cooked with slight chew/crisp) the potatoes and sourdough (you have options) was a .chefs kiss. My wife had the burger and I had a bite. Juicy and flavorful. Fries cooked perfectly and seasoned ever so lightly. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about their food. I think it was Cindy though. They could've messed everything up and we wouldn'tve been mad because Cindy kept it professional, personable, light and jubilant. Great brunch option!! The space is cute. You are on the corner with full glass windows. Plenty of people watching. It feels like you are inside a wine bottle. They have the cork and glass tints... awesome concept and gave a cozy chic feel. I'm definitely going to go back. They have a cute dinner menu and I think I saw specials

    Breakfast Burrito
    Mala L.

    Restaurant located in our hotel so we stopped in for breakfast before driving home. Didn't have a reservation so sat at the bar. We both ordered the breakfast burrito and it was outstanding. It was so good that I took my leftovers home. Large portion and very satisfying. The accompanied beans were a nice addition. Unfortunately, the coffee wasn't good. Bartender was attentive and we received our food in a timely manner. Would certainly recommend popping in if you're already staying at the hotel.

    Omelette with caramelized onions and spinach.
    Dennis D.

    Square 1682 is our choice for breakfast this morning. I had the omelette with caramelized onions and spinach, which was absolutely delicious. I can tell they actually use real eggs as opposed to egg beaters. Don't forget that the yolk of the egg is the healthiest part, contrary to what has been discussed in previous conversations by the health department. The yolk contains the cholesterol that our brains actually use. Anyway, I digress. I also wanted to give a shout-out to the Kimpton hotel. It's definitely one of the nicest mid-level hotels we've been to in the U.S. It's clean, and the staff is extremely respectful and helpful. When we are in Philadelphia, this will be our hotel of choice. I also had breakfast with an espresso martini, which was all right. I would certainly visit this place again!

    After searching for almost an hour for a place that had Irish coffee and good breakfast, we settled on Square 1682. It was a short walk from our hotel and quaint inside. I only wanted a simple breakfast and they did deliver. That also had the good turkey bacon, so that was great. My homegirl wanted an Irish coffee, that is one of the reasons we chose this place initially. The first one they brought out, she looked at it and then sipped it and immediately said that wasn't right. The bartender took it back and quickly brought out another. I watched as she poured it into a tall glass mug instead, then added more coffee. Sad to say it still wasn't made correctly. That day I learned it isn't just coffee with Jameson. The restaurant is inside the hotel and if you need to wash your hands you have to go up to the second floor. However, you have to use your room key so good luck with that if you just go for food. My friend enjoyed her shrimp and grits and my food hit the spot for a simple breakfast.

    This place was great! Went to have brunch for Valentine's Day and the whole experience was nice. The food was delicious, staff were super friendly and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back!

    My experience here was great. I came here on the last day of SIPS seeking something more lowkey and the place delivered. I was pleasantly surprised by the food and the variety and quality offered on a SIPS menu but was more surprised by the staff. These people work as a true team. The bartender Sam was great and the waitress whose name I didn't get because I was at the bar was so attentive as she let me know they were short staffed hence why she was at the bar for a while. If she didn't tell me I wouldn't have known she wasn't the bartender. Literally, everyone from the busser to the kitchen staff demonstrated teamwork. I saw them work together and communicate very well and still remain personable. Would 100% come here again for the vibe alone.

    We stayed at the Kimpton hotel for 3 nights and paid the guest amenity fee every day which included $20 credit towards this restaurant, plus the breakfast package which included a free American Breakfast for both guests every morning. The breakfast was great every morning and the happy hour food and drinks were also great. The service was always friendly but a little slow at times, but this was when it was more crowded and the manager was always around actively checking on everyone. I also have to say their signature truffle fries were very good but so were their regular fries! The prices seemed a little high outside of happy hour/guest paid services but still worth a try.

    I have been meaning to make this comment for weeks. Just getting to it now. For 3 Tuesdays in August my Sisters & Friends have gotten to partake in one of Philly s Only Buck a Shuck Night. This space is cozy & open at the same time. We sat at the Bar. Each week we had a different bartenders. They gave the very best service, not exaggerating. The very Best!! They really cater to your needs. Already enjoying ourselves, I mentioned( not too loud)to one of my friends how back in the day establishments offer lite snacks at the bar. Next thing I know, Alex(bartender for the night) placed their fresh popcorn in front of each group at the bar. It's one of the sister's birthday the next day, out comes their amazing chocolate cake to our surprise. Service is just as important as the food, drinks or atmosphere. The food is delicious. Love the Happy Hour options. The PEI Oysters are to die for. Each week they change up the garnishes. It has been a while since we dined here. The quality, creative & welcoming environment has not changed one bit. We will be back

    My fiancé and I had an absolutely incredible experience at Square 1682! The staff was so kind and welcoming, and everyone we interacted with congratulated us multiple times on our recent engagement. We had a delicious, fairly-priced meal, and the staff surprised us with a free slice of their chocolate mousse cake - which was delicious! Our server Jazmine was a sweetheart and was very attentive, and the bartender was very friendly. The restaurant itself was clean and well decorated, with a nice view of the church next door - which made me contemplative about my fate and how I will feel when I face eternity. I wonder if I will feel peace as I float away into the stars... I'm sure I will be smiling when I meet God! I think Heaven will have a plate of Square 1682's chocolate cake waiting for me.

    We have eaten at this restaurant for breakfast, brunch, and dinner, and we've also popped in just for cocktails and snacks. The food has been consistently good and the drinks are really good. All of the servers we have had were very friendly and helpful. (But the speed of service has been inconsistent; we suspect this may be related to understaffing. Just something to keep in mind if you're in a rush.) They offer dog friendly sidewalk seating and a small, separate food menu for dogs. This is a hotel restaurant but it will go into our regular rotation for being pet friendly and for having a nice drinks program.

I then had the wedge salad (blue cheese, nueske's bacon, cherry tomatoes, radish, pepitas, crispy onions, and thai basil goddess). There were no tomatoes on ours, and so we were given sliced avocado instead. This was an interesting attempt but not my favorite take on this dish, I probably would not get this again. However, the shrimp po boy buns came through to round off this meal! (crispy shrimp, smoky aioli, house made choppy chop, dill on two buttered potato rolls.) These were fantastic and absolutely fire. NOTE they are tiny, almost appetizer sized, which didnt bother me because after the salad and cheese curds I was feeling full already but I would go back and get two orders just for myself they were that good. All in all a great place, I recommend!

There are many tables, making it good for groups, but the interior is pretty bare. The wall is adorned with whimsical fox and chicken imagery, referencing the Hatch and Coop name. As of 05/2025, they supposedly offer 10% off your order by showing your SEPTA card. But, I'd confirm this offer before ordering to ensure it's honored. When I was there in the early morning, the cook (who also takes orders) didn't recognize the deal and didn't know how to punch it in. So, it was a bit of a letdown we couldn't redeem the deal, but we still wanted to try the sandwiches after hearing great things about them. I ordered The Hatch and Coop Sandwich (egg, cheese, chicken) on a round roll at the kiosk. You can customize your bread, egg (fried or scrambled), and cheese (provolone, american, or cheddar). The sandwiches come without any sauce unless you order sauce (extra $$) on the side. I highly recommend the Hatch Sauce- a typical mayo sauce with a little spice. I found The Hatch and Coop Sandwich to be just pretty good but I wish it had more heft to it. The chicken was juicy and well cooked, but I wish there was more. The cheese did the cheesing and coated the chicken, but the sandwich had far too many onions for my liking. With the Hatch Sauce, I felt the sandwich was tied together but it was a little odd to me the sandwich doesn't have sauce on its own. I'm giving Hatch and Coop the benefit of the doubt since it was so early in the morning, but I found my sandwich to be just OK. However, I will be back to try the fried chicken sandwiches, which I've heard rave reviews for.

But you are getting not only spectacular food, but exquisite service, a gorgeous and intimate environment and a long and lingering meal - they aren't rushing you out here, they want you to rest between courses and have an excellent experience. It's a set prix fix menu that changes regularly of seven courses plus an opening snack and two desserts. Portions are tiny but it adds up and you will not leave hungry! I am a vegetarian and they easily accommodated me with advanced notice. They also offer a wine pairing, which we skipped, but know friends have done it and said it was fabulous (but be forewarned... they give full pours so you will be very tipsy!). We saw some couples sharing a single wine pairing and that seemed like a smart idea. It's very hard to get a reservation- on the first of the month they open up reservations for the following month, and they go fast!

With small bite presentations such as this, I firmly believe that each bite needs to taste like a flavor bomb in my mouth. Instead, it all tasted very 2 dimensional and was severely lacking in some acidity or spice. Didn't even bother taking a picture of all the dishes. I don't believe FSS is on par with other Michelin star meals I've had, especially not at this price point. Overall, don't waste your money at FSS if you want to celebrate an occasion. You're honestly better off going to a starr restaurant and paying less than half the price ‍
