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
In response to "World Traveler" – It is disconcerting how anyone can write anything they want on this site and there is no opportunity for the restaurant to respond. I happen to work at Four Square, and the "World Traveler" below was an old woman whose credit card was declined. Yes, it took a while to process her payment because we had to call her bank to get authorization to charge her card. Maybe she should spend more time balancing her checkbook and less time writing untruthful reviews of a very nice restaurant.
Disappointing – The screened porch is too close to the sight & sound of heavy traffic on that busy road, so we moved inside. to the table nearest the entrance. Ambience? Hardly. There wasn't a picture on the wall or a thing on the tables to relieve the plainess. The food was only adequate. Vaunted organic vegetables were overcooked and the portions tiny. Veddy artsy NOUVELLE though, if you still appreciate that tired concept when it Costs The Earth. And do bring cash. A lot of it. They haven't figured out how to work their c... read more
Excellent Meal – My husband and I tried Four Square for the first time for our anniversary. We were exceptionally pleased- the meal was exquisite. On Friday evenings they serve a "wine flight" which I would highly recommend. Ours included three varieties of Spanish wines. I had pork tenderloin and my husband had scallops, both of which were outstanding. The ingredients were fresh and both dishes successfully blended very unique flavors. For dessert I had the chocolate macaroon tart, which I believe was the best dessert I hav... read more
