The Square review by Rittie
We went to The Square for my husband's 40th birthday. We were quite happy with the restaurant and the food. But we do not believe that there was anything the Square had that was over and above other 1 Michelin Star restaurants and were a bit disappointed with 2 Michelin Star expectation.
We had the 7 course Taster menu which actually was very good - good combination, good running order, good tasting. Course 1 Chicken consumme served in a small cup that one drinks from (thats right, no spoon) which was different, was delicious. Course 2 Salmon with vegetables was nice but blend. Course 3 and 4, Fois Gras and Langoustine was out of this world. Course 5 pan fried fish (white, can't remember which) was excellent, crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. Course 6 spring lamb melted in the mouth. A surprise dessert of Rhubarb mousse then came in and beat the real dessert of a very alcoholic Creme Brulee with cherries, hands down. BTW, we know its a tasting menu but the portion sizes should not be laughable.
The place was ok, not particularly posh as we were expecting something posher with 2 stars. The waiting staff were ok, not as friendly and charming as Ramsay staff. The food was good and in our opinion, satisfies 1 star expectations, not sure about 2.
We'll go to the Square again. No problem with that. But there are better places to eat out there. All our Ramsey experiences, for example, have surpassed the Square.
