It was an ok restaurant which had ok food. I did not know who my server was because they were like 3 people taking orders as we well as serving and it was not busy. The apple tart was overpowering. Won't be visiting again. read more

Found this place after doing a lot of research on Saturday brunch near SoHo. Great food, good prices, and excellent service. Steak and eggs was delicious and also tried the challah french toast. Really happy we landed on this place. The server saw me writing a card and asked if it was somebody's birthday, which it was, so they brought out a dessert tray free even though we had already paid and tipped. Highly recommend and will try to get back there soon read more

Food boring, server a useless moron. Asked about ingredients in various dishes, & got bad info. Never poured our wine or asked how our food was. Poor experience. read more

Cozy little restaurant with a great selection of food at reasonable prices. Outstanding bread basket. Generous wine pour by the glass. Try the tuna tartar with avocado at lunch, the chicken club sandwich or the crusted salmon. All great dishes. Fun jazz brunch on Sundays. read more

Great service--we stayed at the hotel and ate here 3 nights in a row--they were so accommodating with our toddler. Food was amazing! Loved the ribs, scallops, salmon. Michael is the best. read more

Just Excellent! So far best Jazz Brunch in the City

Nestled in such a great location, North Square is a hidden gem. The great atmosphere is complimented by an exceptionally friendly waitstaff. If you're looking for a well rounded and authentic menu, with food that's prepared to perfection, this is it (the lamb sliders were amazing, as was the tapas sampler). I also have to say, I've never seen a more knowledgeable bartender (Nick, was his name) who's attentive service was tempered with style, care, and whimsy. His smart recommendations definitely added to such an enjoyable experience, and I'll make sure to visit North Square again and again. read more

Had lunch there twice while staying at the Washington Square Hotel. Food was excellent and the service was outstanding. It is a charming and intimate place. Everyone there is very attentive. Be sure and try the desserts. read more

Went there Thanksgiving Day and loved it. Great food, excellent service, and the prix fix $45 for a 3 course meal was well worth it. I heard they have a jazz brunch and will definitely be back to try it. read more

North Square is an absolutely unbelievable restaurant. I've been a couple times and loved everything I have tried. The chicken club is great, so is the tuna tartar. North Square is just everything a great restaurant should be, classy with excellent food but also casual and not expensive. You must go. read more

Last week, my fiancé and I had the opportunity to dine at North Square to celebrate our anniversary of getting engaged there. The staff was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and truly made our night spectacular. Not only did our waiter remember our engagement at the restaurant, but the manager came over to congratulate us. Every part of the meal was spectacular-- the drinks were perfect, the food was amazing, and the staff was wonderful. We cannot wait to go back to North Square. read more

Honestly, it was pretty good. But the service? Not really. It started out fine, my boyfriend and I decided on a last minute restaurant nearby. I ordered the seared scallops and my boyfriend ordered the filet mignon. We wanted a small dinner because we weren't too hungry, so we only ordered entrees. Repeatedly, the waitress asked us if we would like any drinks. The only drinks the had were all alcoholic drinks so we declined. (Underage.) Everyone was very welcoming, but once our waitress took away our plates, she turned almost catty. We declined dessert, and she sounded extremely skeptical. We paid in cash, and the waitress came out and snarkily said "keep the change" as she literally tapped the check. Fortunately, my boyfriend and I thought this was funny. But, it still doesn't justify being rude to customers. We left her a tip she definitely did not deserve. If you're with your family or are people over the age of 25, your service will be fine. Like I said, the food was fine, but the service from just that one waitress was definitely lacking. read more

We stayed in the hotel and ate lunch here. It feels cozy and upscale. We had mushroom soup, crab and pear salad, and beet salad. We really liked it and would go again. read more

North Square was great for brunch. Steak and eggs were delicious. Only negative was the terrible service. I would go again but would probably try some other places first before going back. read more

Had brunch with friends from out of town. Food was okay, coffee was delish, OJ and Bloody Mary were amazing...it's hard to make areservation for brunch so I was happy to be able to do that. read more

My friends took me to dinner at North Square. The food was wonderful, the cocktails delicious, the ambience lovely. But the service was not good. Our waitress, Natalia, had serious attitude the entire time we were there. We felt like the last thing she wanted to be doing was waiting on us. Another waiter was downright rude-shockingly--when we tried to find out the ingredients of something. No one ever checked in to see if our meals were ok, etc. The food was so good but we decided we wouldn't be going back. There are many other places in the west village where you can get delicious food served by people who are actually nice to you. This is, sadly, not one of them. read more

A few days ago I was here, in a private room. The service was perfect, efficient, and non-invasive, and the food was quite good. The dessert was disappointing, but I would consider having parties in the private room; it was quiet and pleasant. read more

A-OK is about right. Went here for Saturday brunch at noon and it was dead. The servers are friendly and the food is good - just nothing super fantastic. read more

walk in here expecting a hotel/diner vibe and you'll be fine. in other words it's cozy. the food is delicious, moderately priced, and the service attentive--- really perfect for brunch while aimlessly discovering the village. read more

very nice brunch location - good service, low key/casual, breakfast sampler was good!

A great restaurant just off of Washington Square Park. I came here with a group of 7 people for lunch. We had a reservation but they weren't busy when we arrived. The menu has a wide variety, from salads to burgers to fish. They even have a 2 course (appetizer and entree or entree and dessert) option for $22. Everyone really enjoyed their meal-- I had the crab and pear salad and it was delicious. Service was a bit slow, but we weren't in a rush. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a low key and solid meal! read more

I came here for the first time for Restaurant Week and was definitely impressed! It is super convenient to the W. 4th stop which is a big plus in my book and the service and food were spot on. The best part of the meal was the dessert - every single selection on the Restaurant Week menu was fannnntastic. It consisted of donuts, chocolate cake, and key lime pie. I am not doing the description justice but trust me, they were delicious. I've heard their brunch was pretty amazing too so I am going to put this on my list! read more

I went to North Square for dinner with my son before a Washington Square Music Festival concert. The food and ambiance were excellent and the service was outstanding. read more

On the recommendation of a friend, my girlfriend and I tried Northsquare for dinner about a week ago. WE LOVED IT!!! We have simple needs when dining and Northsquare met and exceeded our hopes in every category. Ambiance,CHECK! The decor is elegant without being stuffy. Service, CHECK! Our waitress (Angie?) was friendly and efficient and helped us with our menu selections. Which leads us to the all important food quality. CHECK! CHECK! We both shared the endive salad and an order of their spicy shrimp to start. The dressing on the salad was not too heavy and balanced well with the other flavors and the shrimp had a fresh tangy snap. My filet mignon was cooked a perfect medium-rare and my wife's scallops were heavenly. Although we had no room for dessert, we enjoyed a couple coffees after our meal and never felt like we were being rushed. And finally, the price. CHECK! For the ambiance, service, and quality of food, we did not even blink at the check. A perfectly reasonable price for as close to a perfect meal as we have had in a long time. See you at brunch, we hear that's great too! read more

manhattan's best restaurant secret. the food, dining atmosphere and service are top notch. the price is middle class and it is not a snobbish atmosphere. read more

I live nearby, and so I go fairly often. It is a good, reliable place to have a reasonably priced dinner in the Village. My favorite aspect of the menu is the a la carte option, where you can choose a main and a side, rather than have the menu preparation. At most places you would get the main dish and pay extra for the sides on top of the baseline price, but here they give you the protein at a discounted price, so when you add sides the price remains about the same. For a place one goes to regularly, this helps avoid the boredom of seeing the same menu items all the time. They also have a fixed-price menu of special items, and those can be ordered a la carte as well. Sometimes the service has not been all that great (hard to get the waiter's attention, especially if you are served dinner in the bar and not the dining room)--but it is usually pretty easy to get a table day of. A nice neighborhood restaurant. read more

I went here for dinner on a Thursday night, and everything was fantastic! The waitstaff and managers were friendly and welcoming, and provided excellent service in a timely manner. We sat at the bar and asked the bartender to surprise us with something/make us one of his latest creations- he made me the Mexican Firing Squad and my friend had the number 3. Both were delicious! Then for an appetizer we ordered the Spanish tapas sampler. Very nice presentation and a great way to try a few different things. The olives were really good! For the entree we split the scallops, which were awesome, and then ordered a cheese plate which I definitely recommend- the brie was amazing! Nice atmosphere and great menu for a casual night out. I'll definitely be back! read more

Very nice atmosphere and delicious food. It feels like a secret neighborhood gem away from tourists and pretentiousness. They had trouble locating the wine we ordered but were quick to address this by offering a comparable wine. I expected a little better service but I think that may have been a result of a private party in the back taking up a lot of attention. The food, atmosphere and price point were all great. I will return. read more

I don't understand the overall high score here. We were not offered the bread basket. My partner ordered sunny side up and they came boiled. When he pointed this out there was no apology; indeed the server paused a moment as if she was going to argue, or tell him just to eat what he was given. Nobody came to see if we were doing OK. At no point did we ever feel welcomed. The food was pleasant enough and the prices were quite good but the service was poor. read more

Horrible bratty waiter service. Came in for dinner - sat down and ordered drinks - large amount of time goes by ... waiters are ignoring us... and when one comes to our table... we are told kitchen is closed. Insane. Waiters complain openly - within earshot - loud enough for others to hear - to each table about how bad their other tables are. Just an awful experience. Awful. read more

ABSOULTELY SPECTACULAR! We went to North Square for the Sunday jazz brunch and were blown away! Everything from the ambiance and food to the stellar live music and superb service were bar none! They have any amazing prefix deal that's $20 for a mimosa (or Bloody Mary), coffee (or orange juice) and a brunch item! They'll see us again! read more

The thing I love about North Square is the fact that the food is top tier but it's still an affordable go-to. I've never had a bad meal at North Square - in fact I'm craving the creamy tuna tartar with avocado right now. Or the burger, which is cooked to perfection and only available in the lounge. Mmmm....hungry. I'm surprised at the notes about the service, as I'm always impressed with the attentiveness of the staff, even when it's raucous in the dining room or lounge. And you can't beat the location - I love to recommend this place to friends, locals and out-of-towners. read more

North Square was a perfectly lovely, pleasant and tasty spot for a weekday work lunch. Not too slammed, good service and reasonably priced lunch in the heart of the Village. A+. read more

Great location right near Washington Sq Park. So many different things you can order for Brunch. Highly recommend their omlettes!

Food was good. I had the pumpkin pecan pancakes with a side of apple wood smoked bacon which had no complaints. The wine selection was very nice and enjoyed a nice glass of pinot noir. Great area to spend the day in as its right next to Washington Square park and the village area. read more

Always a great experience. The food and service is always exceptional. The wines available are delicious, even the cheaper ones for people trying to be frugal. The manager? is charismatic and enthusiastic about his job, which makes it even more enjoyable to dine there. It's nice to know that you're being treated well by a staff that actually enjoys their jobs. read more

The ambiance and decor is not that of upscale high end restaurant. However, the food is very good!!! I was there for dinner the staff, was superb, friendly, knowledgeable. The food was properly prepared and cook to perfection. I was amazed everything! I would go there again, and again. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants great food, great service, with an affordable price. read more

Simply amazing. Came here for brunch with a reservation and it seems like a normal restaurant but the food leaves you satisfied from taste and portions. The omelette is great, French toast is very well prepared and the steak and eggs was near perfect. The steak and eggs was my favorite and was cooked perfectly. The potatoes that complimented the dish was also perfectly cooked. They have good deals for breakfast as well where coffee drinks and food is included. There was also live music which I wasn't even aware of when I reserved it. read more

Amazing. Selections, portions ambience. Great staff. Variety of choices including scallops, fishes pork rib eye and steaks. Appetizer with sausage mixture great starter. Definitely recommend. Locals clearly frequent this establishment. read more

i loved this place! classy, cozy, and elegant with great atmosphere....you feel like you are mixing with real new yorkers, not just tourists....it feels like a hidden little oasis beneath the cool little boutique hotel. delicious food, great wine, and our waiter was outstanding - so informed about the wine and food...clearly a professional! (not someone who just tried to memorize the menu moments before coming over to the table.) i'm so glad i found north square! it's a place i am eager to return to! and be sure to head over to the lounge before or after your meal for drinks - FANASTIC little place where you can just lose yourself in time and space. read more
