The Union Bank—affectionately known as "The UB" to locals—is a unique dining destination in the heart of Orange. With its rich heritage charm, it offers a variety of spaces to explore and enjoy.

At the Schoolhouse Restaurant, our flagship dining space, we take all bookings. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, our stunning courtyard connects all areas and offers the perfect casual setting. While we don’t take bookings for the courtyard, you’re welcome to request it in your booking notes, and if the weather cooperates, we’ll be happy to seat you outside!

For group dining, The UB offers several private spaces, ideal for gatherings of 8 to 40 people. Whether you're hosting a business meeting or celebrating a special occasion, we have the perfect setting for you.

No matter the event, The UB has you covered!

    Mediocre. Which is unfortunate as I’ve been previously during the mid-week and I had a much better experience. It wasn’t a great (Saturday) night option, unfortunately. They were too busy to give that personal service that you’d expect for the $300+ bill. Food was not innovative or pretty looking, it was thrown on the plate, and the waitress we had literally threw it on the table. We had our sparkling water mixed with normal water. Our starter bread was the third thing to arrive at the table, after we assumed it was forgotten. It was mediocre.

    The venue is so beautiful and what a dining experience. We had the octopus and it was so tasty and then it got better with the pork neck and fennel salad. The staff were lovely and really knowledgeable.Can’t wait to go back !

    Everything was pretty good. However we were left stranded at the opening desk when we first arrived. The background music was invasive with a booming base which dominated everything. You couldn’t even hear the melody. I nearly left with my guest because of this booming overly loud noise.

    This restaurant had great reviews however, they did not live up to expectations. Upon arrival 1/2 early for booking we were shown a spot to have a pre dinner drink. It took 40 minutes to get our drinks. Seated at our table and then another 20 mins for another drink order and a menu! Food was lovely the beef tartare was so nice and so was the beef flank. The potato scallop was $9 and just the same as you get at your local fish and chip shop. I understand it has a story to it (we found out from the waitress after asking) but for an upmarket restaurant the presentation was poor. The service was dreadful and hoping it was just a bad night!
