Service at union is top notch. Sit at the bar and get some good recommendations. Food was good but not anything to really rave about. Definitely a good place to grab a happy hour

Busy restaurant, cozy, and comforting. We enjoyed a spot at the bar. Shared brocolini, trout dip, burger, scallops. Everything was delicious. They have a n/a drink menu which was a cherry on top as my partner is sober. Our bartender Derek made sure we were taken care of throughout our evening. I would highly recommend. Thanks Union.

First timers here and what a find!Great vibes (maybe a touch loud) - they have some communal tables, good seats to eat at at the bar, and then some booths.Service - hostess very friendly and our server Elsa was killer. Very professional and helpful.Food - reasonably priced, interesting. The pork chop was A+ as was the dessert and little gem salad.Cocktails - 2 of us were non drinkers and the mocktails were perfect. My Uncle's Old Fashioned was very well done.Overall, this place was a hit for our entire table and we'll certainly return. thanks!

2/12/24 - Cocktails were Jack rose and winter margarita, Appetizers burrata, roasted squash salad, and castelvetrano olives, then we got broccolini to compliment our dishes of Berkshire pork chops and the scallops and grits. Great service too - apologies to our server - I neglected to get his name - but service was amazing as was the food and drinks.

Food was very well cooked and also prepared in a timely manner and service was even better. I’ll be coming back with a date soon ? !

They had a 10/10 burger. I told so many people about the burger. Now today I’ve come back and it turns out they have a new chef. It’s now maybe a 7/10 burger with boring fries (probably frozen). The burger used to come with the best smashed potatoes- no more. How disappointing. Oh, and they also raised the price.

Service was very good and sort of carried the experience for me. Food was ok. Absolutely beautiful bar. Burger was solid but other items were a miss for me.

Drinks are amazing, service was wonderful and that burger!!! The vibe is very chill. I went with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while and it was the perfect spot to sit and catch up without feeling like we’re being rushed out. The fried olives are also on point.

The Spicy Baby Gem had spicy, salty cheesy crumbs on fresh, whole, crunchy leaves. Broccolini delighted us with the toppings (grape); the self-identified bro in our party was excited about it. I appreciated the salty, tangy chopped ingredients on top of the burrata. These apps are crowd pleasers and very easy to share. Our medium burger: flavors kept connection with pickles, cheddar but well executed. Smoked Amish chicken was half the bird (leg and breast) very clear smoke flavor and the accompanying sides were very salty and balanced combo of chunks and mashed starches.Drinks, including non-alcoholic, were delicious as you'd expect from Violet Hour alum Abe Vucekovich.

Hyped restaurant with showed promise. Salads were delicious. My Cavatappi was terrible - unappetizing and poorly presented. My husbands Burger was greasy and over salted and the Scallops and Grits were salty and a very uninspired mix. If you are looking for good food - this is not the place.Vegetarian options: Poor selection of vegetarian options. See the fine print for bacon etc.

Good food but the mandatory 28% tip brings their rating down

I took my BIL here for dinner. Their marg was solid!! It's within walking distance of their place which makes it super easy. We got the lamb meatballs and the hush puppies to start. Both were good but the lamd was better. The hush puppies are made with horseradish and that flavor kind of over powers everything else. I was going to order the scallops but he said they were just ok so we both ordered the burger and fries. It's hard to mess up burger and fries. They were good! There were a couple of other starters that looked good to me that we didn't end up getting. I wasn't wowed by the entrees. Overall, we had a good experience and I would come back but order differently.
