SQUARE CAFE

283 Columbia Rd., Hanover 781-924-2581 thesquarecafe.com

TEAM: Owners Luke and Carol Draheim bought the original Square Cafe in Hingham in 2019 from Patty Libby, who created the concept. The duo debuted their second location at Previte’s Marketplace in early September.

VISION: When looking for opportunities to expand their new American concept, they found the idea of opening at a popular destination like Previte’s Marketplace particularly appealing.

VIBE: While their Hingham restaurant serves guests in one big homey dining room, its casual sibling offers a more “loungey” feel and a larger bar.

FLAVOR: Popular cocktails include a Ruby Red Martini and Spicy Clementine Margarita. In keeping with tradition, Libby’s crispy hot and sour calamari and Thai spiced PEI mussels are mainstay staples while executive chef Keith Anderson’s creativity shines with dishes like the homemade Szechuan pork shrimp dumplings and bone-in pork Milanese.
