“My four year-old daughter and I took my husband out to Barrows for his birthday dinner. I only mentioned it on the OpenTable app because it asked if we were celebrating any milestones. I didn't think anything of it. Our server, Alex, was amazing. He was incredibly kind, attentive, had excellent suggestions, and he was consistently checking in with us. Truly a lovely person. Drinks were devine. I had a lemon drop mocktail that both my daughter and I LOVED. Husband had an old fashioned and said it was perfect. The food was excellent. The soup of the day was a shrimp chowder - beyond! Barrows always had amazing soups. Steaks were phenomenal and cooked to perfection. Our daughter had the kids burger and we opted for the veggie instead of fries for her. She's not a cooked carrot fan yet she inhaled every roasted carrot on her plate. Dessert was shared by the three of us and was yummy! Just as we were finishing dessert, Alex arrived with an entire personal-sized birthday cake for my husband, candle and all. It was such a special and thoughtful gesture. I was really surprised and grateful for this kindness. Barrows has been a favorite of ours for a while. This experience was simply another fantastic evening there. We will always be back!“

“I am a frequent patron of Union Underground. It is the most professional, well run organized restaurant Ive ever been to. Its not just one person, it is the entire staff. Kudos to management, without dedicated, professional management this place would not be this successful!. It is a blessing that this restaurant is here in Manchester. Thank you!“
