Best Historic Restaurants in Washington Square

If you’re looking for an elegant and cozy place this is it! It was dimly lit and very romantic . Opt for a booth if you need a little more room as the seating is close together. My fiancé and I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was delicious. We ordered the Caesar salad that had a very tasty dressing. The black pepper macaroni was so good! The portions were very generous. I also ordered the gnocchi and lamb chops . Everything had great flavor. It was so great to be here for our date night

Food and atmosphere were really good. Service was a little slow and the prices were high.

Great experience celebrating my son’s birthday on a Friday night. Brian, our waiter, was the highlight of the meal. Immediately engaged us and provided personable, attentive service. Great storyteller and we found shared experience with his time at Hall’s in SC. I would request him when we return. Loved the buttermilk biscuits, atmosphere, and a generous shellfish platter to start. Looking forward to celebrating future birthdays at Butcher and Singer.

Such a Philadelphia atmosphere-walking into the bar upon entering, the main wall features a beautiful and massy painting of Ben Franklin…moving on to the dining room, find another massive image of George Washington and you are almost overwhelmed with the wonderful aroma of the foods on the menu! I loved the Polenta Cake appetizer topped with pine nuts, black pepper - lightly fried…my friend enjoyed the pear salad. For dinner he ordered the pork roulade which was delightful. I ordered the Fois Gras which is not on the menu and was a special. After one bite the delicious flavor exploded in my mouth but the serving was almost gone. I never was served a smaller serving…almost ridiculous. It should not have left the kitchen! The waitress, Erin, quickly took it back and I ordered the filet, which was prepared to perfection! It was served quickly as I like my steak very rare! For dessert, I really went over the top ordering the Cassis Posset which was one of the best desserts I ever enjoyed — a Cassis flavored custard, bruleed apples, creme chantilly, and topped with shaved chocolate! All in all a fabulous meal! By all means, make reservations, and go! Ask for Erin… just a terrific server! GO!

Great meals, service and atmosphere. A very pleasant surprise! Two suggestions: 1. Don’t take deposit for reservations 2. Included tip:Service charge not sure I am a fan. Kind of hides itself in the bill. Don’t add tip line if you already included it at 20%.
