    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.

    Square Burger and Truffle Fries

    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.

It's a smaller enclosed back patio area with one long table, a long bar, and some wall seats. It definitely gets packed so get there early or be lucky to grab a spot. Staff here always good about making sure everything runs smoothly and it's a fun time. Their food options are pretty fairly priced and most are good picks. Haven't had everything personally, but the banh mi, bao buns, and kimchi fried rice are all decent. Crab rangoons, dumplings, and satay skewers were fine but I wouldn't get again and instead try something else. Drinks also good even at regular price. Fun spot for after work or with friends on the weekend. Thanks

Cannot comment on the food because we stopped here before having dinner somewhere else. However, all the staff were very attentive and helpful throughout the place. Cons: Booked our reservations in advance, then our friends wanted to join in and booked theirs too later on. Unfortunately, there was no way for the staff to combine our reservations and let us all play together. You book a group of races that are played back to back. You cannot select what team you drive for, nor can you select the track, which we did not like. You have to play each race immediately and consecutively, and we wished there was an option to take it slower and scan a card or something to prompt the next race at our own pace, like an arcade. On the last race, our screens continued to play the guidelines and looped for about 8 minutes while our friends raced next to us before we asked for help. They had to reset it and we ended up having to race a course we already did previously because there was no way for them to select the last one for us. Overall this was a disappointing experience due to the lack of technical accommodations the staff could make. It was cool-looking but outside of that was not worth the money to me.

The music was good, the drinks were great, and the staff was super nice and friendly the entire time, which made the whole experience even better.
