This place has always had decent food and I wouldn’t bother reviewing restaurants if I have an overall good experience. My friend and I ordered gnocchi last night. It would’ve been a nice dish but omg it was soo salty. I like salt but every mouthful I was cringing. Service was good and attentive and they made sure we had plenty of water (2 litres) in fact. Even the chips were over salted. Don’t think I’ve ever said that about chips! I have a big sweet tooth and love desserts. Had the lemon pudding which was so intense. My feedback to the chefs is “less is more”. It’s always better to under salt and people can always add if they need it. I do feel for these pubs as there would be issues with staffing as the waiter mentioned. The reason I’m giving feedback is so they improve their service, because after all it’s a pub I wouldn’t mind going to again.

Had a great night with my friends. Good ambiance and nice food and wine. One waiter was very rude and aggressive when telling us that our booking was over and we were required to leave. It put a sour ending to our night. Seemed like he was having a bad day but we would have appreciated him being polite as none of us had any issues leaving at that time.

My experience was very poor. The staff were friendly and helpful however the food was a definite disappointment. We had a bruschetta for entrée and the bread was thoroughly soaked in oil (should have been a sign). I ordered the risotto and it was inedible, it was served with a literal pool of oil. To the waiter's credit he took it away without question, offering a knowing look, and offered to provide an alternative which I declined and took it off the bill.

Only downside was I didn’t realise there was un upstairs and downstairs, and our reservation was upstairs. Would’ve preferred to be downstairs as it was a big footy day and was looking for atmosphere. Maybe you can’t book for downstairs but this wasn’t super clear at the time of booking

We chose Union House as they offered gluten free and alcohol free options. We ordered our food, waited for quite a while, but weather was good on rooftop. Then told there had been an issue and our order had been delayed, okay thanks for the update. When our food arrived, my gf lamb skewers with muhummara, didn’t have any of the muhummara, which was why I ordered it. So I got two lamb skewers and a pile of mint with a couple of pomegranate seeds. No warning, no advice or chance to change my order. Daughters roast was veal shank, huge bone with tiny amount of meat, husband’s rockling burger had a small gougon of fish, half the roll was just salad. Positives were the gnocchi and ragu was amazing and chicken schnitzel was delicious and huge.

Always outstanding at Union House. The team are attentive, look after you with great spirit & always make your visit enjoyable. The kitchen gang serve up delicious meals and you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose. We always ask a team member what their favourite dish is as well - they know best! A short and sharp wine list make the choice easy as well. Thanks team.
