    Nice quiet birthday for a friend. Everyone wished her a happy birthday due to the red ribbon on the table. Very nice touch!

    Always a great meal at The Union Kitchen! We brought guests for a business lunch; their first time to enjoy TUK and they were impressed. We know they will be back! And service, as always, was perfect. Can’t wait to go again!

    Excellent service as always. Delicious and affordable lunch specials and you can’t beat the $8 Hugo Spritz at lunch.

    I sat out on the patio. There was a dog with a couple at a table next to me, and if I’m not mistaken, the dog wasn’t a service dog so I kinda lost my appetite. The waiter Evan poured water in the dog bowl and the dog sniff in the pitcher and it was the same pitcher that he served the water out of so I didn’t drink any more water after the first glass after being seated.  not sure if dogs are required in your establishment. I didn’t see the dog until after we was seated.

    Restaurant receptionist was confrontational after she was informed there was a specific table request do to hearing concerns. Over a number of visits I have determined a good table which allows me to hear the conversation at the table while dining. I requested this table (Table 27) and this past visit, for the third time in a row it was not reserved. This is disappointing and causes me to question why we frequent this establishment.
