Three of us tonight; server didn’t know her wine, forgot to bring out wedge salad and forgot side dish of broccolini. That’s the short version! The host who took our reservation seated us, also he was the one who brought out our dinner and he bused tables. Dinners were ok, lightening was terrible; overall because of the company I enjoyed myself.

Mallory was an excellent server. Atmosphere was so cool. Calamari was good. Grilled artichoke was also good. The Menu was very limited and they served us chicken that was raw and BLOODY in the center so we sent it back. I would not go back to this restaurant.

Bar service was excellent and hostess was friendly and welcoming. Once we were seated the experience went bad fast. Our appetizer came out MAYBE 10 seconds before our entree and our entree was flavorless, dry, just awful (we ordered the shrimp skewer). Server was extremely inattentive and did not acknowledge the timing issue with our food. She also did not ask me why I didn’t eat my entree. We had high expectations for a restaurant at a nice hotel like The Bobby. We do not recommend nor will we try it again.

Truly the best dining experience in downtown Nashville! We were a group celebrating a milestone and even though outside of the Bobby Hotel / Union Tavern was quite noisy and busy (typical Friday night Nashville), the atmosphere inside Union Tavern was cozy, quiet and very peaceful (very appreciated). The host, Trey, and waiter, Axel, were unmatched in their hospitality and taking care of our group. The food was brought out quickly, and it was flavorful and delicious. If you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere / sophisticated dining experience, I highly recommend Union Tavern. It was a special night for us and Union Tavern, thank you for being part of this momentous occasion!

The drinks are seriously good. We ordered 2 appetizers the shrimp and meatballs. The shrimp was WAY too salty to be edible. I ordered the pasta and again WAY too salty that it was inedible. The atmosphere is really nice and our waitress was incredibly nice. It definitely passes the vibe check. I would go back for drinks.

Hair in the food. Severs response was “hairs happen” but did comp the dish. Crazy amount of taxes add in. Group of 7 bill was 270 and 52 dollars in taxes so be ready for two different liquor taxes of 24 percent. Overall poor experience…manager didn’t even know about the hair in the yogurt until we went to tell him.

Came here for a nice dinner. Disappointed because they only had 6 main dish items and they were not cheap! Ended up just having drinks and a couple apps. They were good. The shrimp and meatballs were good but pricy for what you got.

The food and service was just ok. Better to get further from Broadway for better brunch. The atmosphere is nice and noise level is good. The cocktails are good. I doubt I’ll go back for brunch but I would go back for a drink.

My partner and I went with our friends for a quick bite to eat. We decided to take mushrooms before dinner which made the experience so much better (I recommend). If u get the chance, do yourself a favor and take a picture in front of an elegant piece of artwork consisting of a hand encompassed by a bouquet of delicate flowers. The questions remains — is it a photo or painting? That’s for you to decide.

Absolutely terrible. The only okay part of the meal was the chicken. It was a little dry but still okay. The salmon came and was not fresh tasting and had a very foul fishy taste to it. The cobbler we had was definitely not good. We sent it back. The kicker after a terrible meal was the coffee having coffee grounds in it. Instead of an apology we continued to get excuses. I tried to get in contact with the GM however have not had any luck. It was so disappointing and we will not be back. Hopefully the GM will contact me so we can speak about this experience.

I was looking forward to going to the Union in The Bobby. The hotel is super cool and so is the restaurant. Great atmosphere for a date night. The menu was VERY limited unfortunately. I had pressed chicken and it didn’t look good or taste good. We were very disappointed with the quality of all of our food. Not worth the money. Service was good but didn’t make up for the food.

Aesthetic of the place was real nice. Garlic Shrimp had a breading but was overly soaked in garlic sauce which made the shrimp soggy. Chicken was overly salty and potatoes were burnt to a crisp. They ran out of steak at 8pm when they don't close until 10pm. Drinks were the best thing.
