With its delicious, approachable menus and upbeat ambiance, Square 1682 has become a beloved Center City gathering place thanks to Chef Patrick Czerniak's great food, great drinks and great people. Our New American fare could be described as: worldly, progressive, delicious, artfully presented, healthful and comforting. Time and again, loyal patrons return to the Architects Building in Rittenhouse Square for restaurant draws like popular brunch specials, the raved-about Square Burger, one of the country’s top bar programs and seasonal patio seating. If you’re hosting an intimate dining affair for a small or large group, be sure to explore our private dining options, too.

    The menu was small and salad portion were small and they only had 1 special which they were out of.. The grilled octopus was delicious and the chicken was excellent. Flavors were really nice and service was excellent.

    In hindsight, I should've ordered the burger with truffle fries, as that seemed a popular option. 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.

    Great time and food however it was SO hot. 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.
