    We love dining here! The chefs special was a short rib pot pie that was amazing! Wait staff was attentive and friendly. It was a great Mothers Day dinner.

    Waited over and hour for our food. We had a noon reservation, got there about 15 minutes early, was seated right away. Took about 20 minutes to get our drinks (alcohol from the bar), ordered and waited an hour for our food that came at 1:25. It was okay but very pricey and the long wait we will likely not come back.

    The food, per usual, was delicious. The service was very slow, and the restaurant was noisy. I was disappointed that my special occasion was not mentioned by the server, unlike previous visits. Will definitely go back again, but this visit was very underwhelming.

    We had the round table up front! The duck was delicious!!! Looking in to using your private dining room for a book club luncheon.

    I used to love Union and would go almost every week. Unfortunately, the service has really declined. The hosts often have poor attitudes, and the waitstaff either seem understaffed or simply underperforming. I had a 3 PM reservation, and despite there being only two other tables occupied, I waited 30 minutes without exaggeration. No one brought water or even greeted us, even though several staff members walked past our table multiple times. The food is usually good, but management seriously needs to address the service issues.

    This was our second trip to Union Public but the food was not as good as the first time. I had salmon both times and the salmon was definitely not as good as the first time. The main difference was the veggies associated with the salmon. The last time the salmon was over a bed of black-eyed peas which went very well with the salmon fillet, this time it was over roasted cauliflower and snow peas with mandarin orange and what I guess was some kind of pork skins. The mandarin sections were used were like they were from a mandarin that was going bad. The seasoning used in the veggies did not go well with the dish. The lemongrass sauce was good with the salmon but there was not much of it. My wife had the Hangar steak which she said was OK but not nearly as good as pork dish she had the last time. The turnips with her hangar steak were too salty for her. Our waitress was very good and comped her a glass of wine when she told her the turnips were too salty. Desserts were very good.
