Busy restaurant, cozy, and comforting. We enjoyed a spot at the bar. Shared brocolini, trout dip, burger, scallops. Everything was delicious. They have a n/a drink menu which was a cherry on top as my partner is sober. Our bartender Derek made sure we were taken care of throughout our evening. I would highly recommend. Thanks Union.

First timers here and what a find! Great vibes (maybe a touch loud) - they have some communal tables, good seats to eat at at the bar, and then some booths. Service - hostess very friendly and our server Elsa was killer. Very professional and helpful. Food - reasonably priced, interesting. The pork chop was A+ as was the dessert and little gem salad. Cocktails - 2 of us were non drinkers and the mocktails were perfect. My Uncle's Old Fashioned was very well done. Overall, this place was a hit for our entire table and we'll certainly return. thanks!

a beautiful masterclass in good-food-does-not-have-to-be-expensive-and-teeny-tiny-with-pretty-garnishes. every single drink/dish CARRIED. 60 out of 10. let's get into it. we started with some drinks. i got the winter margarita, my friends got beer and orange wine .i'd never had orange wine before, not really my taste, but still good. the winter margarita was not sweet enough for my liking but, oh, they fixed that so quick. they sweetened it up and that changed the whole cocktail. 10 out of 10. honestly 13 out of 10. It was so good lord for apps we did the spicy gem salad and the burrata. the michelin guide describes the salad as "peak salad satisfaction" and i could not agree more. SO good. i almost thought it had meat in it for a second. so rich and flavorful. the burrata carried its weight as well. the bread was so perfectly burnt and buttery and yikes i'm thinking back right now. too good. appetizers were 12 out of 10. the entrees is when i really started to get emotional. we did the burger, the cavatelli, and the half chicken. let's start with the burger. that burger (and listen close)... that burger was the best burger i have ever had in my entire life. FACTS. i will be back solely for that burger. the bone marrow aoili was so luxurious and the fries/garlic aoili combo had my knees buckling. 20 out of 10. the cavatelli was just good for me. i'd eat it again but it wouldn't be my go-to. i would certainly recommend though as a veg option. the chicken was BIG and VAST. the smokiness really came out and the meat was so perfectly cooked. gobbled the whole thing up chile. 10 out of 10! i will say i wanted a little bit more sweetness from the sweet potato/apple combo, but still very good. that was a theme throughout, everything was (very, very good), but heavy and salt-forward. dessert i was excited to have something sweet and cold. at this point i wanted another drink so i ordered an amaretto sour. they didn't have the amaretto so they suggested a singani sour instead, a bolivian brandy that I had never had before. WOAH it was incredible. 20 out of 10. I'm already trying to see how i can order some singani online. like a pisco sour but more depth to the liquor. difficult to describe, but very light, refreshing, and flavorful. would order again as my first drink next time. then the dessert came out. we did the apple bread pudding which let me just tell you.... i dreamed about that bread pudding. ima just leave it there. 30 out of 10 on the apple bread pudding. it was so good, but warm, and so we then got the honey green tea cake (I think is what it was called). wooooaaahhhhhhh with the ginger chai icream on top??? cleared that too. also 30 out of 10. you see what i mean? nothing was nasty. overall a solid 5 stars. i will be going back. the hospitality was top notch. a good meal that doesn't shatter the bank. I also loved that some of the cocktail sales go towards HBCU tuition scholarships. ✊ ✊ ✊ the host austin was amazing (pay austin more!!) I did not get the name of our waitress but also very, very kind and attentive. pay them more too!!!! bib gourmand 2023 *well* deserved.

They had a 10/10 burger. I told so many people about the burger. Now today I’ve come back and it turns out they have a new chef. It’s now maybe a 7/10 burger with boring fries (probably frozen). The burger used to come with the best smashed potatoes- no more. How disappointing. Oh, and they also raised the price.

2/12/24 - Cocktails were Jack rose and winter margarita, Appetizers burrata, roasted squash salad, and castelvetrano olives, then we got broccolini to compliment our dishes of Berkshire pork chops and the scallops and grits. Great service too - apologies to our server - I neglected to get his name - but service was amazing as was the food and drinks.
