Amazing Bloody Mary . As for the food-- what they have is really well made, but the options themselves are limited, random, and probably not what you're craving.

Kamali B

Fixed price menu lunch deal . For $16.82 get soup or salad , pick main course, end with fresh baked-on-premises cookie for dessert ! If you have to get back to work, they'll pack the cookie up to go.

Jason the waiter was very pleasant and very detailed with a smile. A little pricy if you ask but cannot complain, food amazingly good.

Square 1682 is great! Room service works well when you have to bring the kids to the Palomar!

Kamali B

Get the $9 burger and beer lunch special . Burger comes with blue cheese , but you can switch cheeses if you want. Comes w/fingerling potato chips and you get to pick out of about four or so beers .

Moe Dexler

Amazing seasonal menu including great cocktails and a decent wine list .

Philadelphia Magazine

If you're in the mood to feel fancy , this hotel bar sometimes offers specials that are irresistible: hot toddies on a freezing January day, champagne cocktails in the middle of February.

The 1682 prix fixe lunch offers a three-course for $16.82. Chef Tellez’s very popular Vegetable Lasagna as one of the entrees from which to choose.

If you have limited time at lunch , this may not be the place to go. Food can sometimes take awhile. But if you have the time, the food is worth the wait.
