    We particularly liked the venue. Very convenient and attractive on a balmy summer evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The wine list was interesting and the beer good. The broccolini side dish was great. Unfortunately we thought the starter and main course (crostini and linguine di mare) could have been much better. The charcoal crostini didn’t really go well with the topping and the linguine lacked flavour - a shame as everything else was fine.

    We celebrated my husband’s birthday while visiting Melbourne. This was the perfect place for a special occasion. The service was among the best we’ve experienced. Very attentive and yet fun and lighthearted. The setting, with the views of the beach was a big plus.

    This was a really good first time experience at Union House. My mum has a dietary requirements for her health and the hotel was very accommodating and she was so happy to sit down to a full meal where she can't always have much off any menu (no salt). The staff were professional, warm, hospitable and friendly. The only point was we had never been to the venue and didn't realise how busy the rooftop was. The staff offered us to move inside though so they did all the right things! We will know for next time.
