Good food, good service, would eat there again. The waitress was very helpful. We went there for brunch, and while many brunches are twee/clever, this one was not.

Open Table helped to pull off a surprise birthday dinner for my wife. That never happens, & she enjoyed herself so much! So did our group of friends that were able to join us at Union Kitchen. Thank you so much to the staff & chef for a wonderful evening!

Everything was good except our Brussels sprouts came out cold. They gave us new ones and told us they would take it off the bill anyways, but never did.

The sweetbreads smothered in Chinese sauce are definitely to be avoided as a starter. The duck was very tasty if a bit skimpy in size. The chicken was copious and excellent. The desserts were yummy.

We love Union and visit there every time we're in the area. Whether our party is large or small, we receive excellent service and have never had anything less than a wonderful meal. I highly recommend Union and the wine bar, Crush, right next door.
