   This place closed January 31st and is permanently closed. Why are you still allowing reservations?

   The restaurant closed (sold) back on 1/30/20 and neither the restaurant nor OpenTable notified me until 2 days prior to Valentine's Day, making it impossible to secure alternative plans. Fail!

   This review is for a business lunch with 7 people. I usually love the vibe at Union Common, it’s a beautiful restaurant and I’ve had great experiences and dinner and brunch, however, lunch is a completely different story. I ordered the kale salad ($8) with shrimp ($8) and for $16 I received a very small bowl of kale with 3 smaller shrimp. Everyone at our business lunch was disappointed with either the portions or the quality. Aside from the salads, there aren’t really any healthy options on the lunch menu. The service was also not great as our server didn’t say more than a couple words the whole time and wasn’t very friendly.

   You know how, when you go to a restaurant, you're hoping for a dazzling, memorable experience? We've all had a few. Unfortunately, Union Common did not deliver. Our experience was, by no means bad. We ordered on the less-expensive end of the menu for the most part. With what we experience, I'm glad we chose the lower end. For appetizers, we had a cheese plate that was covered 80% with other stuff: bland olives, uninteresting nuts, mustard, and an ok jam. The cheese wedges were pretty skimpy for the price. The breads with them were good. We also ordered the crab hushpuppies that had no visible or otherwise discernible crab in them. They were overcooked in oil that tasted like it needed a change. The cheese plate is salvageable. The hushpuppies should be dropped from the menu. One at the table ordered a salad course and chose the salt-roasted beets with mozzarella. The beets were fine, but when topped with a salty, bacony sauce, the salt content overwhelms. We asked for some vinegar that we added to the dish and that resolved the bulk of the problem. I'd order this dish again, WITH the vinegar. Two of the three of us ordered shrimp dishes. Kudos to the restaurant for using fresh, head-on shrimp. The shrimp with red beans dish failed to excite. The kale salad with shrimp seemed to be better...but when you eat all the kale and leave a whole shrimp...what does that say about the shrimp? The other ordered the bison burger with blue cheese. The burger came overcooked. The blue cheese was indistinguishable. The rest of the construction of the burger was pretty good, but the stars of the show were M.I.A. Overall, if this were a weekday neighborhood dinner, it's fine. If this is a special occasion, there are many, MANY better options in Nashville.

   Our party of 7 enjoyed brunch and the food was very good. We especially liked the $3 mimosas! Our service was a little spotty but like every restaurant in Nashville, they are thinly staffed, not their fault but more the robust economy and the need for more workers all over town.

    We were a party of 4 with two out of town guests. I had been to the restaurant numerous times and never had a problem. This time two guests ordered the special Sword Fish when it arrived with my steak and one of my guest's scallops, both sword fish orders were uncooked inside. Server was made aware and both meals taken back to the kitchen. The problem was not only that, but it took another (kidding not 20 additional minutes) for the meal to return correctly. Apparently they had to start from scratch. So, two of us finished our meals while the other two waited. It was unfortunate that we were not able to dine together. The Manager on duty was apologetic and did take the two meals off our bill. I also sent a personal contact to the restaurant thru open-table and did receive a personal phone call from the Manager. Overall I will be back, and give them the benefit of one of those bad days.
