    Disappointed in the lack of gluten-free options and the server's lack of knowledge on dietary restrictions, but he might've just been having a bad day. The food was tasty! I sat outside on the patio and was surprised to see another table allowing their (small) dog to be on the table and drink from the water bowl that was on the table. I'm a dog owner and dog lover, but there needs to be considerations.

    This was my first time dining at the Union Kitchen and my experience was fantastic. John was our waiter at the Memorial Dr. location and he made sure our service was top tier. I would definitely go back and FYI he is the G.O.A.T.

    We had a ladies’ lunch. Our waiter was very attentive. We tasted a wine and didn’t care for it. He worked with us to get us the perfect bottle. We can highly recommend the chicken piccata, plenty to share if desired. The ambiance is warm and inviting and it was quiet enough to have a conversation. We will return.
