NC - American Cuisine Frontier? – The setting (historical landmark) is beautiful despite the ugly surroundings. Seating/service was prompt. Appretif: Non-vintage champagne is priced correctly (1.8x retail price). Wine selection is one of the better ones in the area. Ordered: Ravioli with chocolate/truffle sauce, diver scallops, dessert. Food was quite good, though some flavor arrangements are "?". I tend to think that there are too many American-French New Cuisine copies... it's not the ingredients who get the spot-light - a... read more
They try hard, but miss the mark – I enjoying trying new places and was excited about this little restaurant. First of all...get GOOD directions because it is not easy to find. The home is charming and the colors warm. The food, although I enjoyed the fresh veggies from their garden, was as if they were trying too hard. The crab salad for example had so many ingred. that it over powered the delicate crab flavor. The soup was luke warm at best and did not have good flavor. You almost got the feeling that they were trying real... read more
Best in the triangle – My wife and I had dinner at Four Square and everything about the experience was top notch. The setting is beautiful (we are looking forward to dining on their screen porch soon!), the food was out of this world, and the service was impeccable.
Horrible valentine's experience – After reading rave reviews of Four Square, we booked an early V Day dinner. The hostess, who turned out to be the owner, was extremely rude, hanging up on us on the phone when we called to tell her we ran into traffic and were running a few minutes late. Our tables was given away, and we were seated in a drafty, creaky, extremely bright area upstairs near the bussing station with absolutely no ambiance. Even more upsetting was that the couple who came in 10 seconds ahead of us were seated at... read more
Terrific ambience – I greatly enjoyed my meal here at Four Square Restaurant. Our waiter was fantastic as was the meal. I was impressed by the ambience and the wine selection. I will be coming here again!
Relaxing atmosphere, great food – We'd heard about this restaurant from friends but had never tried it since we don't get much opportunity for fine dining because of our kids and often it's just not worth it to us to go to the trouble of getting a sitter. I'm happy to report that this place made it all worth it. The staff made us feel at home, and we were able to really relax and enjoy the truly delicious food. If you need a quiet grown up night out away from the kids, this is the place to go.
An intoxicating mix of lovely decor and inspired cuisine. – In Short The Victorian house this restaurant occupies was built in 1908 and features art-nouveau leaded glass over the entrance and gorgeous Southern landscaping. The smoked chicken and andouille gumbo is just spicy enough, creamy with bright overtones. Reputations are made with entrees like the magnificent bacon-wrapped rabbit loin. The chocolate and Key lime-caramel bread pudding is accompanied by caramel-fleur de sel ice cream, a sublimely thick treat filled with... read more
Surprised – I wouldn't recommend this place. The service was extremely slow between courses. The mater d was well, snottie. Our room was very warm.
Adventures in Eating - the right kind! – Shane Ingram, the chef at 4 Square, is wonderful - a food genius. Every meal is a creative exercise, with unusual pairings and fresh ingredients. The service is excellent, and the same staff seem to be there year after year (a good sign). I've eaten their dozens of times, mainly for special family events, and while some of Shane's culinary experiments don't work as well as others, the failures are still interesting. As with Magnolia Grill's Ben Barker, Shane is "not afraid of flavor".... read more
