   Fantastic meal at the Union! Highly recommend the lobster slider starter, branzino and lamb chops - we enjoyed it all.

   The complete experience was exceptional. The ambience was very nice. The service was exceptional in every aspect. The menu was solid and the food was extremely good. We met some really nice guests and had a super time for our 45th anniversary. We highly recommend and will be taking our baby daughter and her hubby soon. THANK YOU one and ALL.

   While the drinks were absolutely delicious and the ambiance was enjoyable, we unfortunately had to wait nearly an hour for our main course. When the food finally arrived, it was only semi-warm, and later caused stomach discomfort for one member of our party. Disappointing experience overall, especially given the promising start.

   There is no good reason why a Basil Hayden Manhattan should cost $25... That's utter BS. A bottle of Basil cost $39 for a fifth. After all, the Union is NOT located in NYC. To add insult to injury, the service did not justify the prices. I thought the server was very quick to take an order, and terribly slow on delivering. I was finished with my after dinner coffee by the time the desserts arrived. Notwithstanding the high priced cocktails, the food was outstanding. In my opinion, it was well worth the prices charged. The portions were generous too. I rarely take home a doggy bag, but I did this time. I had the veal chop from the regular menu -- outstanding! I would choose this restaurant as a great choice for an after golf dinner assuming a business expense. It's a great option for a mature date night as well.

   First time.great menu. Service and staff terrific Foods delicious. Worth the trip. Cocktails made to perfection as well. Try the grilled short rib cheese sandwich , it's delish. Caesar was nit the normal over dressed , delightful hint of lemon in the dressing with crisps instead of chunky croutons and the Margherita flatbread was traditional an tasty.

   Food was pretty good. Service was either inattentive or attempting to clear our plates while we were eating from them. The noise was incredibly high - my husband and I are both raspy today from shouting to try to hear each other.

   It was a nice day at the Union for Mother’s Day. The service was a little slow but it was very crowded and they gave us free drinks to make up for it. The food was very good and it was served fast. I love their menu. I was there once before for happy hour and it was great! I will be back!

    A perfect spot for a Mother’s Day brunch! A beautiful setting inside Eisenhower Park and a very nice decor. The brunch menu has a lot of good options - we enjoyed the biscuits, deviled eggs, the breakfast sandwich (the fries were terrific!), and the ricotta pancakes. And someone had a pizza, which was also very good. The servers are very friendly and attentive. Our only criticism is that, despite having open tables, we were seated near the front of the restaurant and not where we could have enjoyed the views of the park / golf course.
