Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Union and Finch is a charming neighborhood gem that consistently delights diners with its "amazing service" and diverse, flavorful menu. Guests rave about the delicious food, from brunch specialties to unique dinner options, and appreciate the warm, friendly atmosphere. While it can get "a bit loud" inside, the outdoor seating provides a cozy alternative. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience!

    Unfortunately had an overall bad experience at Union tonight after having multiple good ones in the past. First, had to sit outside in an enclosed patio (in December) which required my handicapped mother walking down outdoor stairs that were wet. Made mention of this concern and there was little help offered to accommodate us indoors which didn’t require steps besides two small round tables at the front door that would require us to only have 40minutes to eat before the next reservation. Yeah, no thanks. Also came to find sitting on the patio required our food to be transported outside From the kitchen to our table…not great when it’s raining. Drinks came at different times. Food came at different times. Fish and chips were cold and didn’t taste like cod…more like a fish patty. Ate one bite and pushed it aside. Waitress (who was very kind and pleasant!) offered to have the kitchen refry it to warm it up…yeah, no thanks….and BTW, still had to pay for the “fish”. So generally, not a good experience at all. Too bad because we loved it in the past and go out of our way to visit while in town from Boston. Maybe not in the future. On to next I guess.

    Rob - sorry you didn't have a good experience tonight. Unfortunately, the only table available when you made the reservation via the OpenTable App was in our heated greenhouse. While we certainly try to accommodate changes upon arrival that's not always possible given there are others that made reservations prior to yours for the dining room or barroom. Hence, why we explained we couldn't move your reservation to the barroom or dining room and why those options weren't available when you used the OpenTable app. We can assure you the fish was cod but apologies if it wasn't hot enough. We do our best to make sure all food for a table goes out relatively at the same time but many times for parties of 4 or more there are multiple trips required to bring food to the table. Again, apologies.

    The food is always delicious. The wait time for food was very reasonable considering how busy the restaurant was on the day after Christmas.

    First time in the heated greenhouse and would definitely dine there again; nice atmosphere. Only suggestion would be to get higher chairs. Just a bit too low. Server was great, even suggesting a beer he thought I’d enjoy (and he was right!). Had the Burger of the Month (Mediterranean w/Greek yogurt and feta + diced cuce salad) that was cooked as ordered- YUM! Fries are always tasty, if a bit too salty. You really can’t go wrong dining at Union and Finch. Good kitchen, bar and waitstaff, consistently good food, lively atmosphere!
