Nice spot and great service . My order was super oily .. it tasted nice but it didn't need to be that oily . For the heath conscious folks, I would worried about what to choose from the menu. Everything felt heavy

Called in twice to see if we could change our reso from 2 to 4 and they said no then sat us next to an empty table of 4 for the entire time we were there! Wasn't worth it and left feeling very disappointed

The ribs were spectacular and overall everything was delicious! Especially sitting on the patio away from the crowds of Ossington is like a little hidden paradise in itself.

First time visitors. We were treated with great warmth and courtesy. The restaurant itself is beautiful and original. The lunch menu was very appealing. Top tip, you can view that day's menu on the restaurant's website prior to arrival. Our food was delicious, the portions generous, the staff impeccable. Looking forward to returning for dinner soon. Thank you for a lovely and memorable meal.

Union is a "Do Not Miss" restaurant in Toronto! The food and service was exceptional! Our server, Tom, expertly navigated us to a few of their standout dishes and he was spot on. My husband enjoyed a gin and tonic made with their house-made tonic--wonderful, he reported, while I enjoyed a glass a red wine. We started with the beef tartare which was beautifully presented and so tasty. Next up was a delicious and light salad consisting of apples, radicchio, celery, and an amazing brie cheese--yum! We shared the swordfish which was superbly prepared with asparagus. Even if you're full, you must try the ginger cake with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream--heavenly! We enjoyed the food and also the top-notch, friendly service. Highly recommend Union.

Had a great time at Union this week! Everything we ordered was delicious-Dessert portions were crazy! Will def be returning again and again as I'd love to try everything else they have to offer
Union always delivers and we are always satisfied with our experiences. Last night, we had the burgers. As people who frequently feast on burgers, we can say that this is definitely one of our favourites! Choice meat, flavourful cheese and 'real' bacon. Choice of fries or salad as sides. Our friends enjoyed a big salad and the fish. Everything is made with top-notch ingredients. Our server was friendly and efficient, as was the rest of the staff. As the oldest diners, by far, the noise level was a little high for us but not terrible. And the level reflected the contentment of all the diners.

The food was great overall, but the oysters were either bad or possibly stale, with an unpleasant algae-like taste. Additionally, the coffee wasn't great and should be served much hotter.

I've been to Union many times before. Sadly I have to say the food wasn't as good and has definitely gone down in taste and quality and we had a waitress that just seemed miserable and uninterested to serve us. She was hard to find which is a bad quality for waitstaff.

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.
