About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Great for brunch
Good for groups

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.

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.
