You could walk right past this place and not know what you were missing. Almost every item we ordered was excellent, but the sous-vide fried chicken and waffles were out of this world! Excellent service as well.

Restaurant was busy and the service reflected that. Once food arrived, server checked on us once. We weren’t offered dessert which perhaps they didn’t have? Menu very limited. Not sure we will be back any time soon.

Union and Finch is amazing! The menu is different and delicious. They do a very nice job of putting a different "spin" on things. Service is top notch. It's a bit loud, making it somewhat difficult to carry on a conversation, but the outstanding food makes it all worthwhile. Highly recommend!!

Had a delicious meal at Union and Finch last night! My girlfriend and I were in town for a few days while I was back from college, and I knew we had to make a stop here. I’m a native Allentowner but she’s from Queens, and was floored by just how good this food was. We split the cheese curds, pepperoni Brussels sprouts, and the burrata, all of which were spectacular. We then split the Moules Frites and the Tuna Tacos as our entree, and they were to die for. The broth the mussels were cooked in was incredible. 10/10 would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a hip date spot in Allentown.

Food at Union and finch never disappoints…… being Cuban myself you know I’m very critical of a Cuban sandwich when restaurants change the way it’s done but this one is done the real way it’s supposed to be, I’m so happy they have kept it. Union and finch is always one of our favorite places
