   Everything was fabulous. Food, service, ambience on point.⭐️ I am a stickler for cleanliness so wanted to say the bathrooms and corners need some attention. Baseboards and corners were visibly dusty from lack of care. I know people are shorthanded these days but if you are going to stay a 4/5 star restaurant, these small things are important. Also dirt has a way of getting out of hand if you don’t stay on top of it. Love the restaurant and just saying this to keep you at top of your game. I definitely will dine here again!! ❤️

   Food was delicious but our table had cockroaches crawling up the walls and around our feet. Did not make it seem like a good eating environment.

   We visited for the second time during our five day trip to Charleston because the first visit was so enjoyable. The second visit was as good as the first for all of the new menu items we tried. A very unique environment with great food and service.

   Eclectic building Sun Tzu Art of War is written in the ceiling and walls. Lunch was chicken BLT was fine. Ordered and was served in less time then to get the check and pay. Didn’t hate it but not a place I’d go back to.

   So our Uber driver left us off at 5 Church Street which is the name of the restaurant never knowing the name changed to Church and Union. We ended up having to walk a mile to Market Street only to find a stupid sign that doesn’t even say Church and Union. It has a strange C and U intertwined. Why name a restaurant Church and Union when it’s on Market Street. Maybe say under the C and U “formerly known as 5 Church”? Just saying…..

   We came in from NY to visit my son in Myrtle beach and took a trip to Charleston . I had made a reservation on open table on the blind and was very pleased with the service , the food and the atmosphere . Even the music was at a level where we could talk ….not yell Over the music . Every bite was incredible . The gnocchi, ravioli, sword fish and burger …..excellent . Next time we come to visit , we will definitely come back !

    Mimosa were great! Server was excellent and he was very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. Food subpar. Potatoes cold and overcooked. Breakfast sandwich featured a burnt croissant. Servings quite small in general. Great location though.

    When we made a reservation in advance it was in the effort to be seated in the gorgeous dinning room of the church. Sadly we were put in a side room in the corner very close to another couple. A little bit of a bummer. Grabbed a drink at the bar afterwards so we could enjoy the ambiance. Cocktails were great.

    I was disappointed to not be sat in the “church” and was at a very tiny table in what felt like the back room. The food was okay but I missed the ambience I was hoping for.

    Union and Church was chosen because a previous visit found it to be outstanding - this time it was mediocre. Service was adequate, the Malbec wasn't bad, and the dinner was OK... just. The oysters were the tiniest ever, but the cocktail sauce was perfect - for reasonably sized oysters. The oyster service was late in arriving; I used the dinner fork to begin as there wasn't an alternative. Everything was "A la Mode" but fell short of the goal. Took the chicken breasts home for today's salad.

    Chelsea was an excellent server, she told us all about the history of this beautiful venue, and was a huge part of making our dining experience such a fun success. We love the food, and enjoyed the congeniality of all of the staff. We will definitely be back and hope to visit your Nashville location soon!

    This is loaded Q. We made Mother's Day dinner buffet reservations - as did everyone sitting around us. There was NO dinner buffet. We were told it was a "misprint" on Open Table, buffet was brunch not dinner. At least 30% of the food items printed on the "Mother's Day" menu weren't available and were told it was next week's menu even thou it said Mother's Day. The waiter did great job, dealing with this fiasco, crossing off what wasn't available, writing in the food items that were. It was a mess. That being said, the arancini was very good, moroccan meatballs were okay. Taglitelle w/sausasge was very good. Finally, we were seated outside where it was shady and very windy and so cold, the waiter gave me a tablecloth to wrap around my shoulders. As were were leaving they starting bringing out gas heaters. SO, it's a good thing we're locals and we've been here before because we like the food and we normally have an enjoyable dinner. Not so on Mother's Day

    Mother's Day Brunch. Arrived for a 3:30 reservation, waited till 4:00 to get seated. The buffet was either low or without, it was not attended to keep in order or clean, the food was obviously sitting there for a long time because our food was overcooked, rubbery, burnt, dry, etc... We went back for seconds in hopes there was any refresh but no....all the same overheated food plus items missing like the main Prime Rib. For $60 a head we should have demanded our money back, but we didn't and now I regret not doing so, so shame on me. What a terrible experience on an expensive and special day, but live and learn. Shame on management at the Church for not caring about the buffet.

    This is an absolutely fabulous place to have lunch or dinner. We had the Mother’s Day buffet and it was, as all their special days are, tremendous! Dylan Is, without a doubt, more than a server. He is like family to us and the service he provides far outweighs anything we’ve ever had in any of the restaurants we’ve eaten in worldwide. The entire staff shows dedication and hard work every time we’ve been there. It is a pleasure both to eat there and to meet them. You don’t want to miss this restaurant if you’re in Charleston.

    We had fantastic service for the Mothers Day Brunch, food selection was amazing and so very good! BUT what was frustrating was the serving area (food on the floor and serving spoon with sticky handles) wasn’t kept tidy and many chafing dish lights were out resulting in some COLD dishes…but with long lines waiting for warm food was overwhelming. So we felt for the cost, the food should have at least all been warm. Big difference in the enjoyment level if food is served warm. A big shoutout to the wait staff that was spot on especially for such a busy day. We were seated in a very busy traffic area which hard with my elderly mom and they would change tables even though I had requested a certain area days before when they called to confirm our reservation. But truly fantastic food…just wish all the dishes had been served at the temperature it should have been. Also they had no small containers for cocktail sauce or horseradish sauce…and really no place on your plate for it. Debra

    We are here for the Mother’s Day brunch and got there a little early and they sat us right away. The food was amazing, lots of choices for a buffet brunch. Service was good and the atmosphere was lovely. It was nice to see right out on market street at all the passers by. Will definitely go again and recommend to others.
