"Would be excellent but for the closeness of tables and low ceiling which makes for louder than desirable room especially if you have neighbors who think they are in their. Private room. Food was delicious loudness was not. However it is always worthwhile."

"I cannot believe how underrated this restaurant is. The food is just amazing, and not over-priced (by Manhattan standards). And the wine list's got some really interesting, off the beaten track, picks. Who knew about the Grenache Gris grape? Who in the US carries wine from Jura (a little-known French wine region stuck between the better-known Burgundy and Alsace)?
I fully recommend that restaurant.

"We've been coming to North Square for years and have never been disappointed. The food is always innovative, service accommodating and ambiance lovely. The wine we had was really good and not overpriced. The management is very nice and always goes out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We were late for our reservation due to traffic and parking issues but they held our table and didn't make an issue of it. We will definitely keep coming back!!"

"North Square is my haven in many ways - excellent food and usually exceptional service although recently the waitstaff has taken on some who don't quite get the art, if the actual execution, of waiting on a table.....it is a bit jarring given my history there. If you are looking for a great meal, good value, an atmosphere that's not too loud and usually exceptional service, I highly recommend this gem."

"I came to hear the always wonderful Roz Corral and her group for the Sunday Jazz Brunch. The food was excellent, starting with the delicious bread basket; followed by the omelette with delicious brunch potatoes and salad. I particularly love the scone they include with the brunch entrees. The atmosphere is festive and yet, there is usually a good respect by the patrons for the music. I think North Square is one of the hidden gems in NYC. I'll always come here for brunch whenever I'm in the city."

"Whole experience, from beginning to end, was hugely satisfying. Gracious, considerate service. Cozy, comfortable environment. Enjoyed their lovely bar/lounge first where we had the dryest, most spectacular and generous
vodka martinis. Then went into the dining room for a delicious meal. We had the Rack of Lamb and the Lobster with the Chopped Salad to start. All perfectly prepared, super fresh, and high quality. We were then generously given complimentary after diiner drinks. Couldn't have had a better experience!!

"I really enjoyed the food at North Square. I would have rated it higher, but the service was extremely slow. We had to ask the maitre d' to get our waiter so we could order, after we had been sitting for a very long time. The side order of onion rings came out considerably after our main dishes, and again after we asked about it. Given the quality of the food and the prices, the service should have been better."

"Located right on the corner of Washington Square Park, North Square is wonderful spot for Sunday Brunch. We were seated in the lounge only two tables away from the Jazz group of the day, a Jazz vocalist with a guitar and upright bass accompaniment. The service was excellent and our drinks and food came almost instantly. They were very understanding when the fourth member of our party arrived late, and did not give us a hard time. Also they did not rush us out after we had finished our food. Overall wonderful food, we all got the brunch sampler and comfortable/warm ambiance."

"The food is fine, reasonably priced and tasty. The service was pretty shoddy. Took quite a while for the waiter to come to the table, water glasses not refilled, and then the wrong entree brought out. So they gave my companion her dinner which she finished while I waited for mine. Not a way to eat in a nice restaurant."

"This neighborhood gem is a favorite of my aunt's so we chose to have her 90th birthday dinner here. From beginning to end we were treated with exceptional care including a lovely gesture from our server...she brought a pillow for my diminutive aunt so she could sit high enough to enjoy her meal. When our food arrived, all 5 of us just looked at it for a while. The presentation was amazing. And...it tasted better than it looked. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Thanks to Chad for and his pastry chef for the birthday cake (order 2 weeks ahead). The red velvet, chocolate mousse cake was delectable. North Square will be our "go to" restaurant every time we're in NYC. Why mess with perfection."

"Very good wild mushroom soup - not too creamy, salty or fussy so the taste of the mushrooms is highlighted. Rack of lamb was also very good, could have been served hot, but it was just warm enough. We liked the straight forward cooking: no foam, no sweet relish, no mint jelly with savory dishes. Just very good, traditional, but not old fashioned cuisine. Many items from which to choose: tuna, steak, lamb. We were too full to try the creme brulee or apple crumble. NS will be on our list when we're in the Village."

"What a gem if you live in this nabe. What a haven if you do not. You will feel completely welcome, completely at home, whatever your 'real' neighborhood. This place will welcome you with delicious food, wonderful wines, and servers who feel like family membrs (the good ones)."

"Everything about this restaurant is good except the people at the front desk. Two of us arrived. We were told there was no table available downstairs, and were taken upstairs to a table. After twenty minutes, one of us went downstairs to try to find the third member of the party. She was sitting at a table downstairs; she had been told that she was the first to arrive and had been given a table downstairs. The women who made this mistake were unapologetic. This is the second time such a thing has happened to me; once they put my companion in the back room and me in the front, and it took half an hour before he came out to see if perhaps they had messed things up. They should get their act together at the front desk."

Wonderful experience would visit this establishment again. Compliments to the chef as the food was beautifully presented and delicious beyond my expectations. A true nuance of flavors, explosive to the palate. Love, love, loved.

"I had another great brunch experience at North Square. I came to hear the wonderful Roz Corral for the jazz brunch. The music, as always, was top notch and showcased some of the best players in NYC. The food was delicious, well prepared, and reasonable. I think this is one of the best hidden secrets for brunch in New York. Can't wait for my next visit!"

"I really like this restaurant and consider it an under rated neighborhood gem (as I live near by). I've been there many times have never been disappointed. They provide a winning formula: great food, service and value for the money. Their chopped salad is delish and they have excellent fish. Love the olives and bread basket!!"
