The best four star restaurant in durham! – yes, the location is weird BUT it is in a beautiful Victorian house on chapel hill rd. It has to be the best kept secret of durham. I have been to NaNa's which was voted one of the top restaurants in the nation BUT I have to say FOUR SQUARE is better. The only reason it may not be NANA'S is because of the location alone. The food and wait staff is so excellent that if you give it a chance, you WILL want to come back and you forget about the location. For the first course, I has a sw... read more

BEST FOOD IN DURHAM!!! There is NO such thing as a bad meal at Four Square. Having been there well over three times, it's never ever disappointed me. Set in a converted Victorian House, each meal at Four Square is always a delight. With a rotating menu that changes monthly, make sure to take a risk with at least one of your courses--I guarantee it will be the highlight of a truly special dinner.

You can do much, much better – The food itself was actually very good and nicely presented. That's the good news. Location is actually quite sketchy, if you eventually find it. Passed through a few "kids lock the doors" type neighborhoods to get there. Nice view of the giant plastic cow on top of the Mexican joint across the street. Student/waiters didn't seem to want to be there. But to be fair, the place was packed, so it's apparently pretty popular by Durham standards. If you are looking for a lovely dinner in an old Vict... read more

Best food in the Triangle – Hands down, the best meal I have eaten since I moved to the area. Nice atmosphere; polite, attentive service. Portions were perfectly sized and every item fresh and well-seasoned. Stay for dessert - banana & coconut bombe was amazing!

Very good food and service – Really good experience overall. The restaurant is in a lovely Victorian house on the outskirts of Durham. The inside has a lived-in feel that is very relaxing. Service was good -- attentive but not overbearing. The food was very good. Interesting but not overly fussy. Portion sizes were just about right. We arrived at 9.30 and they could not have been more accomodating. The wine list was good but the wines were too young. We had a 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon from Western Australia and an 05 or 04 Rid... read more

Fantastic Experience. – This is arguably one of the finest restuarants in the Triangle. The service is always professional and attentive, and the wine list is quite extensive and offered at a reasonable price. While the cost is a bit high, it is worth every cent if you appreciate fine food and excellent cooking. The chef is inventive and there is a new menu every month. Do try Four Square for a special occasion, you won't be disappointed!

An average new American cuisine, drab atmosphere – We went to Four Square to try out their Thanksgiving Prix Fixe menu. It is housed in a historic Victorian in Durham, with an inviting porch and warm lighting glinting from the windows. We started out in the bar, where I had an underwhelming Sangriatini. The bar was cozy though lacking music, and its brown walls are luscious enough to make me reconsider completely writing off the ugly brown paint on the walls of our bathroom at home. For the dinner, we were led to a small chi... read more

Terrible customer service – I wish I had read this before I visited this restaurant. We decided to try it after seeing a profile on a UNC program. All of the negative things outlined here- cold interior, unappealling exterior, costly "interesting" food and unbelievably slow, snobbish service. I did not particularly care for the food. It was not bad, but not anything special and when the server refilled my wine she looked around over our heads as though there were someplace else she'd rather be. We were checked on frequently,... read more

best of the best – I've been living here in the triangle for a couple of years now, and I've eaten at the vast majority of the notable restaurants - new and established - in the area. I've suffered through unbelievable snobbery, less-than-memorable food and lousy service at many. One restaurant, however, stands above the crowd. I've dined at Four Square Restaurant in Durham 5 or 6 times now, and each experience has been outstanding. Four Square has that magical combination of fantastic and innovative food, highly professiona... read more
