    Always a great spot for us! We regularly visit for happy hour as a large group and we are always taken care of. Staff is wonderful and attentive. We just miss the bubbles being on the HH menu 🤣! Highly recommend for large groups and for everyday lunch or dinner!

    First time dining here. We were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. We all got something different for brunch and everything was excellent! Our server was attentive but not overly so. Excellent experience. We will be back!

    Disappointed in the lack of gluten-free options and the server's lack of knowledge on dietary restrictions, but he might've just been having a bad day. The food was tasty! I sat outside on the patio and was surprised to see another table allowing their (small) dog to be on the table and drink from the water bowl that was on the table. I'm a dog owner and dog lover, but there needs to be considerations.

    This was my first time dining at the Union Kitchen and my experience was fantastic. John was our waiter at the Memorial Dr. location and he made sure our service was top tier. I would definitely go back and FYI he is the G.O.A.T.
