Came for Sunday brunch with an impressive menu. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and added frites, very authentic/French feel to everything. It's quite small inside with tables close to one another (typical Toronto dining) but we were lucky to be sat in a booth as a party of 3 which was spacious. Our server was friendly and attentive, orders came in smoothly and in a timely manner.

Exceptional as always! Thanks to Austin and team for always making us feel welcome and providing such a fantastic dining experience.

Very cute brunch spot. They have a nice patio space in the back especially when the weather is nice. We ordered the Union Breakfast Sandwich and the Union Burger. I preferred the latter. Service was excellent and I loved the decor and atmosphere inside and out. They have an open kitchen where you can see the chefs preparing your meal and they also have a small bar inside the restaurant. I would definitely come back.

Fantastic food, amazing service. Rob was just the best. The place never disappoints. See you guys soon!

Food was amazing, but the lady serving the back patio was super rude. Her English wasn’t clear, and she laughed at us when we didn’t understand her. Honestly, I’d think twice before coming back because of her

We picked Union for dinner since it is Michelin recommended and their menu changes daily (this is normally a very good sign!). All dishes were prepared with the highest quality freshest ingredients and very tasty. The patio is lovely. We will definitely return and try their brunch next time.

When we arrived, there was a front desk staff but they were busy chatting, washing glasses, and serving drinks instead of seating customers. We waited 5–8 minutes without anyone serving us, not even water. During the meal, no one checked on us or offered refills. They even cleared our plates before we finished eating. When I asked for the bill, the server went to take another table's order first. I had already said we wanted to split the bill, but it was only done correctly the second time. On top of that, tips were set at 18% by default. I only left 10%, and that was for the kitchen because the food was tasty—the service was really disappointing.

Not our first time eating there. Always a great experience. Not last night, Monday sept. 22. The food was less than average, with undercooked coliflower mushroom on a pasta, kale unchewable; but it happens and it can be overlooked as it is rare, but what made worse is the attitude of the young waitress, who preferred chumming more with the bartender, than trying to speed up our food which took the good part of an hour. What was the most offensive is that she decided not to serve us anymore, and switched with another waitress. That made us the problem, and not her attitude and lack of experience. As the oldest woman in the room, it also made it ageist. I have been in the business 35 years, and were I the owner or the manager, I would fire her. My sister with whom I dined last night is a huge fan of Union, and that could change.
Misaligned expectations strike again! I was v excited to try this place after hearing about it for so long. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. Good food, mind you, just not the warranted hype. Only standout was the elk slider. The sticky ginger cake was good, but not the life changing event I was promised. The menu changes often and I've heard the brunch is good, so maybe I'll give it another go and see what's popping.

Dined on a Monday evening when visiting Toronto as was recommended by a family member. Excellent dishes. On Monday they also had 1/2 price bottles of wine so we were able to enjoy a lovely drink from the excellent wine list as well. Great cosy ambience. Would go back again

Union is one of my fave restaurants in TO. Everyone I bring to share a meal with me there has an amazing time and loves the food.

I sincerely don’t understand all these positive reviews. On the nigh we were there, the Union was so loud inside that it was impossible to think, much less have a conversation. The wine pours are microscopic. The restaurant was understaffed so each stage of the meal took far too long. The menu is just odd, and I really couldn’t find a single thing I wanted to order. The dessert was good, though, so that was the one saving grace. .
Excellent food prepared expertly and service was first class. Looking forward to our next evening in Union.
Absolutely AMAZING!!! EVERYTHING - deliciously fresh farm to table food, friendly staff, charming ambience...
