We went for our anniversary and it was fantastic. We sat in the main dinning room by the window. We loved that they gave us a “happy anniversary” card when we sat down. The food tasted great and we can't wait to come back.

I went for lunch on a Saturday with my adult son. We both had a soup and salad. My French onion soup was good but not great. It could have been a touch warmer. The real disappointment was my coffee. It came in a French press, but looked like dirty water when I poured it into my cup. I did not share this with the waiter because I didn't want to make a fuss in what was a special lunch,

The service staff were friendly and tried their best given the Resturant being very busy and packed! We ordered drinks( fine)! Ordered bunch of appetizers ! The French onion soup could be improved! Not the best tasting soup! Partially ate! The octopus was tough! Presentation was excellent! Need to learn how to make it more tender! Could not eat after one bite! Salads ( orchard & beets) were excellent! The nuts were stale ( old) it ruined the rest of a great salad! Foie Gras Torchon needed some side sweets to balance the taste ( the apple was sour, seemed vinegar infused) ! Quality was great! Presentation, nice! Escargots en Croûte was nicely presented! Not the best that I have had! Yet ok! I have been there before with their tasting menu and it was great! It was not offered this time! Thank you for challenging yourselves to be at your best every time!

Truly outstanding meal and wonerful ambiance as always there. A little disappointed in service, particularly for drinks. Perhaps they need an additional bartender. Also, my “Sazarac” was not drinkable. Had a strong licorice taste.

Union League is the best restaurant in NH. The renovated space is beautiful...the new bar in the back is fabulous (what used to be a service bar and some makeshift, overflow seating). We've been coming here for many years and it never disappoints. Food, wine list, service are all outstanding.

Little too loud and food could be a bit better and menu more varied. But ambiance and service are lovely. It's a go-to (over and over) place for us.

Beautiful restaurant. Great service and accommodating of my dairy allergy (their vegan dessert was so good!). Higher end cost wise. We had a lovely evening.

Haven’t been to union league Cafe in 15 years. Had a wonderful dinner last night and it did not disappoint. Food was exquisite service was wonderful atmosphere is beautiful. They have renovated the space. Treated like royalty. Best chicken I have ever had. The new owner has kept its reputation and quality. Beet salad was phenomenal.

Unfriendly and unhelpful staff. Overpriced menu. Trying to be French but nothing of that quality. All around very disappointing

First rate service, impeccable culinary experience. Be sure to ask for the main dining room. We were seated in the overflow / bar section - a significant downgrade from the main dining room - despite having made our reservation 5 weeks in advance.

Butternut Squash Bisque is to die for! Escargot presentation was brilliant, but the taste was just ok.

Our table had the Beef Wellington, which is the best I've ever had. Also the onion soup, duck confit, beet salad, all done to perfection...and the best desserts in New Haven....my only complaint was our table was opposite the entry door, and every time it opened we experienced a very cold draft. Love the new look, but this needs to be addressed

You can never go wrong with Union League! Every single dish is always superb (our personal appetizer favorites are the escargot and duck confit!), the drinks are delicious (highly recommend the French 75 and Smoked Negroni!) and the entire staff is so friendly and wonderful - they truly make every time we dine here a special event! The new renovations to the dining hall are elegant and elevated - we cannot wait to come back and have a drink at the new bar. Keep up the fabulous work, ULC! :)

The Union League is always a delight. The room is beautiful, the tables far apart for easy conversation, and the food and service are excellent. Even so, there's no need to dress up. It's fine dining with a relaxed, casual vibe.
