About the restaurant

Union & Finch is an American style bistro located at 1528 West Union Street in Allentown offering lunch, dinner and brunch on weekends. The menu consists of casual fare that will include "comfort" foods along with familiar favorites with a twist. We have a seasonal rotation of select items on the menu while keeping our concept simple. Our goal is to offer quality food and drinks at reasonable prices on a daily basis with a mature sense of hospitality and playful vibe. We combine the nostalgia of a long-lost neighborhood joint with a modern bistro setting to create the area’s newest destination for relaxed, casual dining.

Wonderful ambiance. Excellent food. Service was a bit slow. One of our dinners was supposedly dropped on the floor coming out of the oven causing all our meals to be delivered late.

The food and service here are outstanding. I love their modern twist on Italian classics (get the pork Milanese; you won’t be disappointed). The owners are friendly, as are the servers, who are knowledgeable and always make great recommendations. This has become one of our favorite spots.
