   Some of the appetizers were excellent, like the mushroom cigars and the calamari but some entrees were mediocre. Asked for salmon medium rare and was medium well so very dry, vegetables on that dish lacked flavor and dish was sloppily arranged. Side greens on the flat iron steak were drowning in citrus and vinegar and inedible. The union salad was also overdressed.

   Awful. We had fish and chips and the fish was tasteless and dry. The batter was dark oily and burned. The French fries oily. The use the same oil for all food and it was old. They brought the drinks halfway our appetizer. I wanted an extra spoon to share my dessert with my husband, but I couldn’t get no waiters attention. They look away on purpose so you can’t get their attention. Not going back for sure.

   Everything was perfect, greeting, table location, server very attentive and energetic .... service and food prompt. But then there was the food prep. Sorry to say disappointing. The half rack of ribs although lots of meat on the bone were dry and overcooked. The chicken was also dry and it had dark meat too. The brisket was 3 pieces of VERY LEAN dry meat. The cooks need to reduce cook time, and watch their cuts of meat. The calamari starter was excellent!

   Too much salt on steak/fries. (Could I have some steak n fries with my salt plate?) Fried Chicken was dry/overcooked and just plain sucked flavor wise.

    Tried the prix fix menu. Wife had the Cesar salad, salmon and bread pudding. Salmon was overcooked to her taste and came with plenty of mixed veggies. Bread pudding was good and had a big scoop of ice cream on top. I had the smoked BBQ ribs. Meaty and mild smoked flavor. Sides were spicy beans, rosemary corn bread and potato salad made with herbs and bacon with a touch of vinegar. Desert was a fudge brownie with a big ice cream scoop on top. Reminiscent of Bob's Big Boy version. All were good. Fixed price deals were a great deal. Indoor seating was quiet. Service was terrific.

    Came for Father’s Day brunch before a show. Decent selection of breakfast items, not too expensive (I got steak and eggs - $24 was good value for portion size) and everyone else enjoyed their food too. House made michelada very good. Came with what must have been a house-smoked strip of bacon on top as garnish(yum). Nice outdoor seating patio on San Pedro Street with plenty of umbrella cover so not bakimg in sun.

    Great food and good beer and cocktail menu. Service was extremely slow and not overall cordial. It was basically drop off food with no follow up. No conversation, no explanation of food items or recommend suggestions when we asked. But good food and good location. Just don’t expect much customer service.

    Generally very nice experience. Ribs, biscuits, cauliflower were all great The sangria was not really anything close real sangria - not to mention weak and expensive. And the fondue was uninspired and bland.

    It was our first time and our server was very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, I have an allergy to onions, chives, etc. And asked that it would be omitted and each item I ordered had onions or chives. Also my tomato soup was too salty. We went for our Wedding Anniversary. It was not what we expected. Food had no flavor or that tasty. We will not go again.

    Had a great meal of small plates ordered for the table…every one of them was delicious! We were pressed for time, heading to a show within an hour of arriving (late) for our dinner reservation. Our server and staff were super accommodating and quickly expedited our meal, without us feeling super rushed or pressured. Loved their menu and beer list! Will return again!

    As many reviews have said, the food is very good the service is poor. We waited for everything. No one greeted us at our table or brought water for 10 minutes. Our appetizer was served without silverware napkins or plates. One member of our party had his entree and the rest of us waited about 8 minutes for ours. We had mushroom cigars, salmon, beet salad, fish tacos, and fried chicken. All were very good. The outdoor seating was delightful on such a warm night.

    REPURPOSED FOOD! The kitchen swapped the proteins on two meals at my table by mistake, so we sent them back. They returned shortly after having had the same proteins removed from one plate and put on the other instead of remaking the dishes. That has to be a health code violation! Trying to serve someone food you previously tried to serve someone else? Disgusting. And absolutely no thought of food allergies, which I have. Be wary of this establishment if you value sanitary food practices.

    We sat outside which wasn't too loud even with a basketball game going on. They say they are a gastro pub, but it's not like any I have been to. Their menu is lacking too much information. Their beer selection does not include the IBU's, which tells you how hoppy a beer is. The waiter did not seem to be familiar with the beer menu, and lack of information made selection difficult at best. The Share plates did not give you any idea of portion size, so it is difficult to know how much to order, so everyone can have a taste. Most of the food we ordered was good, but nothing special. The one dish I would NOT recommend is the Mushroom cigars. They are not described, but we all love mushrooms so we gave them a try. The biscuits were dry, but the honey butter helped a lot. The ribs, brisket, and grilled cheese with soup were all enjoyed. Our waiter did not wear a mask, I think they all should in the food industry.

    We were a party of 6 with reservations through OpenTable, so seating was pretty easy. We ordered drinks and eventually, a few appetizers & dinner… so far, so good. As we weren’t in a big hurry, the time for seeing our server never seemed to be an issue. After ordering, getting drinks and the appetizers, dinner came out at just a little later than expected, but not noticeable. Had the following issues not occurred, I wouldn’t have even given it a second thought. Two in the party both ordered the fish & chips. When the food arrived, 5 of us received our food, with 1 order of the fish & chips arriving, but the 6th person in our party didn’t receive his. For the one that did arrive, the fish was ‘warm’ at best, and the French fries were lukewarm at best. After several minutes passed (~8 min?) as we ate, expecting our colleague’s food to arrive, it didn’t so I had to get up and find our server to get him to come to our table. We conveyed the issues about the lukewarm food as well as the missing food. It was still some time before the missing food arrived, while most of us were well past the halfway point of eating our food… and while his fish was warmer, the fries were still just sorta warm… by the time the replacement plate came for our other colleague, we had all finished our meals by then. There wasn’t much of any attempt to apologize for any of this… I asked to speak with the Manager, but was told he was too busy to speak with me.. so the hostess asked me if I wanted to call him tomorrow.. I told her that I had done enough work, as a customer, and that it should be the Manager calling me… I then gave her my contact info. The bill came, no corrections for the issues, we paid and left. I have taken clients here, but not sure if I will in the future. We left another establishment where the service was good to go there, but that seemed to be a mistake. I’ll be curious to see if the Manager calls me or not.

    Food was delicious! We were there for brunch. I had the brisket hash and my sister had the Machaca Nortena. Both were very good. We also had the Paloma Negra which was quite delicious as well. Next time, I'll go for dinner!

    Farmers Union never fails when it comes to excellent service and food. We started with the delicious biscuits and brisket tacos, by far 2 of our favorite apps. We chose to stay light at dinner and went with a classic wedge (great size) and I chose the smaller version of the beet salad, more than enough. Full of a variety of beets.
