"The menu is great, many gluten-free options, in-fact it looked like the majority of dishes were gluten-free, also the deserts, they had the most amazing brownies I ever had, and they were gluten-free as standard, other dishes that you normally expect to gluten in-fact GF as standard. The staff seemed knowledgeable, you had no flags etc. But when they brought the dishes out, they said what was gluten-free. The food here is amazing, by the way. Really high-quality food. I'm very sensitive to gluten and I would have known if I had something. But it was absolutely good. I did not ask about kitchen practices, but I felt that they knew what they were doing when I go back, I will ask some more questions."

"Location, service and food were good. Problem was that of the 7 of us that dined there on Saturday night, 6 were vomiting by the next morning. Not been this ill in 20 years, and just recovering 24hrs later. The common denominator was maybe the olives to start. Real shame as it’s a lovely place with good service and food. I’ve got to question the hygiene practices after such an experience as I’ve been fortunate to never have had gastroenteritis in the UK, as I’m usually very careful. The added irony is that I’m a Gastroenterologist."

"We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while wandering around enjoying the Christmas lights. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, and the variety of dishes was excellent. We shared a small selection of tapas and each had a main dish. The flavors overall were fantastic and the level of spice was just right, although the meatballs were a bit tough. The atmosphere was great, and it was really cool to see a working SNES set up, although I didn't have a chance to play. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back again. The price per person is around £20-30. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Quesadillas, Meatballs, Olives."

"We visited the Square Orange three times during our stay in the area. We have been here several times over the years and each time we have received excellent service, food, and drinks. It was no different on these occasions – absolutely fabulous. On two occasions, we had dinner and drinks, and on the other, we just had coffee. During our visits, we tried the 'Pizza of the Moment', several tapas, olives, baked camembert, and a selection of beers. The staff provided excellent service on every visit – they are friendly, polite, and helpful. The restaurant always seems to be busy, which is a good sign that they are doing things right. Despite being busy, the staff is still very attentive and appears to pride themselves on providing excellent service. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting, and the background music is just right. The food is well-cooked and tasty, with a thin pizza crust that is perfect. They offer a good selection of beers, both on tap and bottled, with several local options. The coffee was also very enjoyable. Considering the size of the restaurant, it's impressive how they maintain such consistent excellent service. We will definitely be returning when we are next in the area. We loved it."
