We’ve been back in the States for some 10 years now. We moved to S Dartmouth full time last year after only spending summers here and are just beginning to explore restos in NB. We’ve been hearing good things about Union Flats so we decided to try it and break out of our Bayside, Back Eddy, Sail Loft rut. We ate at the bar which had wide, comfy seats that didn''t leave your legs dangling and a nice deep bar surface. Emma served us our drinks and food. It was our 48th anniversary so naturally we had champers before and during the meal. We split a half dozen oysters which were fresh and delicious. For mains she had the monkfish bib bim bap and I had the dirty fish and chips. Dirty fish and chips were tasty and creatively sauced. I eat a lot of fish and chips but this one was unique and tasty, fish was perfectly cooked. My wife raved about the monkfish dish. There was a lot going on in terms of flavors and textures and the fish and egg were perfectly cooked. We lived in Asia for eight years and I watched my wife shift casually between her chopsticks and then knife and fork, then back, depending on what parts of the dish she was eating. Off the charts in terms of creativity which actually worked. Emma provided superb service. Highly recommended.

We eat here as often as possible, usually once or twice a week. The food is always delicious, the service is friendly/fun, fantastic selection of drinks always fun to sit at the bar or outside, and their commitment to environmental sustainability, organic and regenerative farming, support of fishermen/women, small, diverse and intentional business support, community awareness and human rights makes it an even more support worthy restaurant. This is a feel good place on all levels. They are living their commitment to building community. All the food is great and the smash burger is soooo yummy! I can’t say enough good about this place. Brunch is OUTSTANDING too!

Really wonderful place - great atmosphere, excellent service (Gwen!!), all with a true commitment to the neighborhood and fresh local food . . . can't say enough good things. My family held a big party here and the staff were accommodating, warm, and extremely competent. Everything we ate and drank was splendid: beautiful fresh oysters, delicious crabcakes, tom yum brussell sprouts, monkfish bib bim bap, mozambique fish sandwiches, great cocktails . . . all really really good. Eat here now.

No fuss fine dining! Loved the creative energies of Chef and front of house. Our waitress, Gwendolyn, was so informative and guided us through the menu explaining the fabulous dishes filled with unique flavors. Can’t say there was a favorite and we tried a lot. Swordfish collar tacos were amazing! The finest, truest sustainable restaurant. Can’t wait to return. A must before or after the ferry or simply a destination dining experience. Well done!!!

We visited in June 2023. I chose this restaurant based on a smaller menu ( giant menus are a red flag for me) and it did not disappoint. Our entrees were delicious! The cocktail’s fantastic and dessert Devine!!Chef owner Chris took the time to come over and chat with us. He tries to use sustainable ingredients for a creative menu. Check this place out. You will not be sorry! Kudos Chef Chris!

So many restaurants advertise "local seafood," but how many do you think host the fishermen who actually caught the fish? Union Flats is more than a restaurant, it's a project. Chef Chris is dedicated to his mission of transforming fish that would never make it onto traditional menus into memorable, delicious dishes that will have you coming back over and over again.

My wife and I popped in here late on a Monday evening. The food was excellent, service attentive and overall a great experience. Would definitely do again.
Fantastic!! The curry with the mussels and calamari starters are brilliant together (dip your calamari in the red sauce); main dishes excellently executed and oysters were tasty (need some Crystals hot sauce though (everywhere is lacking the magic in the N.E.)).Good local beer choices and great service; we'll be back....may bring my own bottle of Crystals.

Went on a Wed night for dinner and there were only a few people in the restaurant. Waiter was super friendly and attentive. We got the oyster Rockefeller, dirty fish and chips, and the bimibap.Oysters were good but felt like the filling slightly overwhelmed the oyster flavor (it was hard to tell there were oysters in it). Fish and chips were tasty but the sauce on the chips was slightly salty and kind of took away from the fish itself (kind of a shame since it was a nice piece of fish). Fries were delicious! Bibimbap was also nice, the pickled vegetables were awesome.Overall, a quality meal and definitely worth a visit!

I didn’t believe the ratings but am now a believer. Absolutely fantastic food and large choice of cocktails to fill your evening. Casual and just the right size menu. Chowder was the best I’ve had and had a nice hearty flavor. A bit untraditional but improved on from pure clams and potatoes. If you don’t eat the dirty fish and chips you have missed an experience. Thanks to all who make this place top of the list.
