our server, Mia, was phenomenal! you could tell she loved her job and made the experience so much better! the unlimited brunch was definitely worth the price

Our server was amazing and each of the top us were all different and amazing as well. Food was well prepared descriptions of food were spot on. I would definitely go back and try more.

I really enjoyed this style of brunch! Its all you can eat without the buffet/self serve line! Everything was made to order and was so delicious! The mac and cheese and deviled eggs were top tier! Can't wait to go back!

My service was very subpar. In the 90 minutes there I never got my waitresses name, my water was only refilled once, the plates from the unlimited brunch were left on the table for a good duration of our meal, i saw my waitress get her own sip of water and stop in the kitchen more often than my table or drinks were checked on. a friend had to change bottomless mimosas to individual drinks because the bottom was very much found. I witnessed someone order something off menu after being told unlimited brunch was the only option. I had 2 drinks worth $30 and did not feel an ounce of inebriation. May have just got a newer waitress but the food and drinks were not much better to excuse it.

I and three guests dined at Makers Union for a pre theatre dinner. Service was decent. Our server appeared to be a little overwhelmed but the other servers immediately pitched in to help. I had the Kale Chicken Caesar which I thought was good. However, I felt the chicken breast was a little overcooked. One of my guest had the Salad with Impossible meat added and he enjoyed. Another guest had the Smoked Salmon entree which he said was Divine. We definitely plan to return. Ambience was nice! Bartender Gabriel was pleasant and attentive. Good Drinks!

We ate here before a concert at Anthem. Food was excellent. Service quick. Sunday football was on and it was not overly crowded. Parking garage is next door for concert and wharf. $50 parking for time if concert. I would visit this one again.

First time diner having dinner before a show at The Anthem. Our server was very friendly, energetic and attentive at the start of our reservation (5:30). But as it got busier we saw her less at one point having to find her to get our check. Food was good. I had the flank steak and fries which were delicious and were I to get it again it would be without the not good broccolini. My sister in law raved about the burger.

Food and ambiance was great but MIA made the experience incredible. Her personality, energy, and spot-on food and beverage recommendations ensured my friends and I had a fabulous time. The bartender, I'm not sure if his name was Thomas or Joseph, but he was incredible as well. Very friendly and a wonderful mixologist!

We made a reservation and had to adjust the number of participants on site. The restaurant was accommodating and we were seated immediately. We waited a little bit for initial service but after our waitress, MJ, made her introduction, she was sure to check on us regularly throughout the evening. The menu is small but mighty. We had the spinach and artichoke dip, Alfredo with chicken and salmon. The food came out expediently which was great as we had a time constraint. The drinks were good, service good, food was hot and amazing. The servers present on Saturday, November 1, between 6:30pm and 8:30pm did their thang. I appreciate the teamwork and customer service to ensure we had what we needed. Thank you MJ for the recommendations on the menu. We will be back.

Disappointing experience, with exception of waitress who was very nice and helpful. Went to Sunday brunch and arrived to find that the only option was an expensive fixed price unlimited brunch, which is not indicated on their website. Food was just ok, but made worse because every dish was served at room temp, not very good for food like eggs and waffles. Won't be going there again.

Food was excellent, but we ordered two "regular old fashioned's" with our choice of mid-range bourbon. The price was $18.50 each and a $10 additional charge. Expensive choice...we didn't realize it at the time. Just a warning to others. Cost more than our sandwiches.

Great food at a good location Unfortunately my starter never arrived and despite requesting more drinks they never arrived

First time getting food from Maker's Union. Chicken and Waffles, Parmesean Fries, and Mac & Cheese. The food was outstanding!. I order carry out and by the time I sat down to eat the waffles were not crispy. Can't blame the restaurant for that. I should have opened the container to let the heat out. Still tasted great and the chicken was perfect. The portions are ginormous!

The staff was exceptionally friendly and courteous. I will be back and will recommend to friends.

Had a 1:15 PM reservation at Makers Union and still got told we had to wait because there was a line out the door and they were “overbooked.”

If I wanted to wait in line, I wouldn’t have bothered booking ahead. The hostess looked overwhelmed, the place was chaotic, and honestly the whole vibe screamed we can’t handle brunch season but we’ll pretend we can.

Do better. Don’t offer reservations if you can’t actually honor them.
