The Square review by rosyrose
My partner and I ate at the Square a couple of weeks ago. It had to be one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Started well with a quirky little box of canapes and an amuse bouche of sardine mousse. I had the foie gras, which was a beautiful combination of the unctous and the caramelised, followed by a stupendous slice of the tenderest beef imaginable. If I have one criticism, it would be that the balsamic reduction served with the beef had become oversalted. Portions were substantial, so to finish (after a lovely pre-dessert of cherry cream) I ordered the rather dull sounding english summer sorbets as it was all I could manage. It was outstanding. Perfect flavourful sorbet scattered with tiny balls of some kind of jelly and a mystery herb. My partner is still talking about her creme brulee. it wasn't over yet . We were finished off, in almost every sense, with hand made chocolates and nougat and a fan of tangy fruit petit fours.
The service was attentive and pleasant, though there was one arsey waitress who seemed to think a compliment about the food beneath her notice. We appreciated the one sitting policy, so we didn't have a nagging feeling we should hurry up.
It's eating food of this standard which makes you realise what two michelin stars are about. The damage was £210 with aperitifs, a bottle of nice Chablis and service. Worth every penny.
The Manoir au Quat'Saisons beats the Square on service, but I think the Square outclasses on food.
