Square Review

Okay, so here is my rant on the dinner experience at Square.
We got all dressed up, i wore my suit and AM was wearing her beautiful wedding reception cocktail dress.
We made a res for 8 pm which apparently is quite ridiculously early here. We were seated along the edge of the restaurant on a bench. The view was beautiful with giant windows and the decor was great! A bit awkward though since we were the only ones there. After looking briefly at the drink menu and realizing that the cocktails were almost $18 Can.we were finally moved to our table in the very back corner of the rest.
We asked for the dinner menu and the host told us that we could either choose from a 3 course menu or 5. (which is fine) but his description of the 3 course was very brief and inaccurate...we  got it anyways. Since booze was expensive we just had one drink to start each and a glass of wine with our main that didnt even come!
People finally started coming in and we actually got 4 courses not 3.
The 1st course was a scallop mousse sauce thing with some roasted parsnips...decent. We enjoyed it. Next was more scallops with the same sauce and an asparagus gelee...a few sprigs of greens...also some crazy crunchy garnish. Our main course was beef and a bernaise sauce, daupinoise-like potato roasted veg and again...the same sauce. Good...but they used that same sauce in all of the dishes so in a way it all tasted the same. We really needed water since our wine never came. We told another server and she seemed angry that we werent happy. Dessert came which was a BROWNIE with strawberry foam, fruit leather, and mint ice cream. We thought it was awful, the brownie tasted very weird (AM didnt even finish hers.)
On top of all this there was a table of about 16 guys right beside us that were being extremely loud, obnoxious, and inappropriate! They were doing an insane amount of shots, taking off their shirts, and making rude comments about the food. Completely ruined our nice evening we had had planned for ourselves.
We took pictures of our food...it DID look very nice...but unfortunately the slow service and possibly a bit of a language barrier resulted in a bad experience.
The End
