Delicious food and good service. Unfortunately, was not made aware that our party of 11 would be seated at two separate tables that were treated as separate tables. The timing of everything was not aligned.

Food and service were excellent. We initially had little intention to share our plates with each other but the dishes were so tasty and varied and either had too much food (so please take some) or were tiny but with mammoth flavor (you must try this). At the end everyone in our group of 5 had tried out all of the 8 dishes we ordered and loved them. The best part for me though was the mystery bar drinks where you give them a spirit and general guidelines and they kept coming back with amazing and creative cocktails. I loved and was surprised by the uniqueness and presentation of each drink. We had a fun night with family and friends and will be back.

Absolutely blown away! The food was amazing but the service was top notch. Atina was beyond accommodating and I can truly say she went above and beyond for us. Church & Union is lucky to have someone like her on their management team. Definitely will be back many more times.

Perfect choice for Jan. 1, 2023! We were seated right away and CiCi came to our table with a smile on her face and colorful gold nails. We felt our New Year's Eve party was continuing. We began with two glasses Tribaut Champagne. My wife selected the chicken crepe which beautiful prepared and plentiful. The Compte cheese really made it delicious. I chose the omelet Forestiere. We were taken back to a Paris Bistro. We finished our meal with two glasses of the St. Cosme. The wine list is extensive and the staff was moving about like a well oiled machine! We are already planning our return.
