    Valentines Day Pre-fix menu had great options and everything we had was delicious. Only suggestion is to have more premium wine options available by the glass. Bottle selections were good.

    Our server, Marissa (aka OG) was fantastic and attentive in spite of there being a full house. Also the owner and managers checked on us as well. Last but not least was the fact that in spite of their being a full house our table of 4 was able to carry on a conversation without having to raise our voice

    We had a fabulous Valentine’s Day dinner at The Squires last night. We were a party of four. We were greeted with a beautiful rose for the ladies in our party—a very nice and thoughtful touch. We had excellent service and we all enjoyed the food! The restaurant was decorated beautifully for Valentine’s Day! The owner, Steve was kind enough to stop at our table to welcome us and chat. He was such a gentleman! Our waiter, Corey was a delight and gave us excellent service. We love this restaurant and will continue to return time and time again!

    We were a party of 6 for a Galentine's Day dinner. They had entertainment that night, which was enjoyable. The service was very good. My dinner, chicken parmesan was very dry, and I left most of it. My pasta on the side didn't look appetizing at all so I didn't even try it. However, others had dishes that they said were very good (halibut). Would I go back? For the ambiance, yes, but I'd certainly order something different.
