Terrible service. We came for brunch and I ordered the flat top sandwich. Most of the options with eggs has bacon and I asked if they had any substitute options they didn't even have avocado as an option. I expressed my feedback to the server at the time of ordering that their chef should have options for people who cannot eat pork, and she had a very dismissive and prickly attitude about it. After placing our food on the table, she didn't bother to come once to ask if we needed anything. No humbleness or training just bad unfriendly and inattentive attitude.
On the food front, the eggs were ok, nothing special, and the bread didn't have the crisp chew. As well, butter and jam should have been offered on the side. I also paid full price for a dish that had bacon removed from it with no substitute. In our case nothing was offended cos the server didn't bother asking if we needed anything. Overall I would give the food a 3 / 5. The atmosphere and 3/5 and service a solid 0.
Not sure I'll be coming back nor recommend this place it's clearly overrated in the reviews - there are plenty of other alternative options in the neighborhood.

The food was good. The beef tartar was amazing, as expected. We love how they roasted the bread with butter; it's crispy and flavourful. The sausage was different than we expected but in a good way. I like how they did the potato; it was soft but crunchy. The portion was okay. Two main dishes were good enough for the two of us for brunch. The restaurant is small, so you might expect to wait 15-45 minutes. The only minus point is that our server didn’t seem very friendly and attentive. He made us feel like we did something wrong when we asked for recommendations.

Overall experience was decent, but they were out of some dishes at the time from the day's menu. The elk sliders were creative and quite good. Pork chop was way too fatty though. The atmosphere was really nice but our waiter left the restaurant at some point and we had to pour our own water and wine.

Love this spot for either lunch or dinner! Stead Tartare is a must. Fries are the shoestring style, which is soo good. Literally any dish you get won’t disappoint so there’s no point listing them all.

Popped into the bar for an afternoon aperitif and met some wonderful people. Had a perfectly executed vesper martini and shared some fun stories with new friends. I felt welcomed and embraced. I will definitely return.
Have been here a few times and it’s so amazing. The staff are fantastic, the food is AMAZING! It definitely isn’t cheap but honestly so worth it for the quality and flavour! Can be a bit loud sometimes but overall it is great.
Dietary restrictions: Went with a family member that is gluten intolerant and she had no trouble finding gluten free options and the staff were really helpful in telling her what she menu items could select from.
I went to Union for dinner tonight with a friend. We shared the Union Salad, the Polenta and the Gnocchi! All three were AMAZING! We sat at the kitchen bar. Watching all the food that came out made me wish I had room to order all the other great dishes that I saw came out while enjoying our dishes. I have include a picture of the sticky cake we ordered for dessert since I was full enough to pause and grab a picture before devouring it. 10/10 I will definitely be back!

Eggs Montreal and the crispy polenta dish were both fantastic. Nice selection of wines and tasty cocktails. Neat little place with charm to spare.

Everyone raves about union however it didn’t deliver as my hopes were very high. Would come here once but not again, maybe I ordered the wrong thing.
