    Good service from front desk to table server. Soup was not hot enough for my friend & I, was reheated when we asked. Regular coffee was not hot either.

    As always, the food and service at Union Kitchen were amazing. We enjoyed a wonderful time together with long time friends who don't get to see each other as often as we'd like. The round table allowed for wonderful sharing of stories while enjoying a delicious meal. The noise level was low which made it so much easier to hear.
