Our Story
Established September 23rd, 2019, Waterford, Michigan
Our story begins in the heart of Waterford, where Bob and Danielle first met in the 1980s while Bob was managing local bars and restaurants. They fell in love—not just with each other, but with the hospitality industry itself. As life moved forward, they married and raised three daughters, and Bob transitioned into a successful career managing auto dealerships.
In 2019, Bob returned to Square One and opened a restaurant alongside Danielle and one of their daughters, Megan. Together, this trio of Waterford natives brought their vision to life. Three generations sharing their love of hospitality with the community they call home.
Square One offers a polished casual dining experience. Thoughtfully crafted food and cocktails. Friendly and attentive service. A welcoming and casual atmosphere for families, friends, and neighbors.
