The Square review by Anon
My husband and I went to The Square for our anniversary last night. We were both severely disappointed. The atmosphere was non-existent and we got to soak it up for a while as nobody came to take our order despite us having our menus closed for at least 20 minutes. We also got offered a semi-empty bread basket with two of the choices missing which was not out right until half-way through our meal. In the end I had to call a waitress over and complain that people who were seated after us had already been given their amuse bouche 9Cauliflour mousse with truffle jelly) before our order was even taken. My husband ordered a beef starter which was distinctly average and I had langoustine which I have to admit was excellent. I did find it slightly odd that I only got three pieces when the gentleman on the next table got four. This was followed by our main courses; pork which was very tender and tasty and sea Bass which again was nothing imaginative or amazing. Then came a display of the some of the worst service I have ever received in this calibre of restaurant. As my husband was holding my hand and we were having a romantic moment we were rudely interrupted by a smarmy French gentleman who proceeded to 'sweep' our completely clean table. Then came the cheese course which again was interrupted in the middle of my selection as the waitress had to run off and help at another table leaving me slightly bewildered (she also forgot my grapes). The cheese selection was fine but there was nothing in the desert menu which did not contain nuts or alcohol so we swiftly moved on to the petite fours which were ok and a doughnut will vanilla sauce which was complementary to everyone in the restaurant. I certainly would not have paid for it as it was soggy and the sauce was completely without flavour. All this came to a bill of £202 with no wine but 2 glasses of champagne. We will not be going again; the food is good but certainly not good enough to outshine the other shortcomings of this restaurant.
