    Food delicious as always. Tables are close together and noise level is high. One of the best brunch spots around.

    Great culinary asset for Allentown. Best chicken I can recall ever having, even after living in Manhattan for 12yrs. Dirty pickle martini is tops. Lovely staff.

    Moved to the Lehigh Valley area and was hankering for some brunch. Union and Finch came up as a local eatery that seemed to be loved by the community. Enticed by the cozy cafe vibes & perfect combination of sweet & salty options, we made a reservation. We entered, and were met by a bustling atmosphere. The entryway, where diners were also enjoying their food, was packed. Staff was working diligently to make sure tables were clean and food went out. Although making a reservation, we had to wait 15 minutes before being seated in their adjacent “greenhouse.” The greenhouse is temp controlled so it was comfortable in the chilly November weather. Wanting to see what this spot was made of, we ordered two alcoholic drinks, a side of fried halloumi, and two breakfast meals. I ordered the west end - a sandwich of waffles, eggs, cheese & sausage. It had a side of fries. My partner ordered the shrimp and grits Benedict which came with a side of roasted potatoes. The food hit the spot! There were only a few notes for me to give about the experience. The first is that the alcoholic drinks are SMALL & served in throwaway plastic cups. While tasty, the value and presentation lacked. The eggs Benny had overdone yolks - this could have happened for a variety of reasons, but we were expecting perfect runny gold. Overall, a very nice eatery with a dedicated staff. Just be aware of busy hours and maybe skip the skimpy cocktail portions.

    It was ok, we drove almost 2 hours to dine here and it was lackluster. I was so excited to try the seasonal flight based on the photos online and the presentation was disappointing. There was nothing special at all. The greenhouse dining space had nothing cool or unique which also was a bit disappointing as the photos online looked like the space would be really cool and pretty aesthetically. The food was meh, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. Our server Jake was very polite and attentive, he made sure our glasses were full and was very friendly.

    We had a brunch reservation for inside, which was very cheerful but noisy. Restaurant was very helpful and was able to seat us instead at a lovely table in the enclosed patio area. Staff was super friendly and efficient, and gave us travel tips as well. Out first visit to Allentown was a huge success!

    There were 9 of us yesterday there for dinner to celebrate a graduation. Unfortunately, only 3 of the 9 of us enjoyed their meal: The peas in the bangers & mash ordered by 3 were actually hard, with mashed potatoes that tasted like instant; they were out of quite a few things including a number of specials as well as the chicken soup; the Fried green tomato BLT was next to tasteless and at least 1 person who ordered that had some intestinal issues afterwards. The service was Ok, but only 1 check in after food was delivered for 9 people. One person ordered a manhattan which he said was not made well, and the Chardonnay was basic at best at $12 for a very small glass. On the positive side, the cheese curds and pickle jar were unique and pretty good as was the pumpkin old fashioned.

    Great variety of interesting food. Was there for brunch. The crepes and pigs in a blanket were cold but the cheesy eggs were cold. Also got the chocolate skull cake which was dry and mediocre, but the berry sauce was great. Amy our server was attentive and generous with the coffee. Overall a good experience. Will go again.
