Tasty and flavourful. Portion size slightly smaller, frites are very good, but portions not equal among the two dishes we got. Service is slow. Dishes were served way after done at kitchen, we watched our order waiting in plain sight for 5 mins before it got served.
Excellent first experience. We tried the oysters, kohlrabi, zucchini, steak tartar, ribs, steak, and Elk sliders. The food was tasty and the service was genuine and friendly. Highly recommend.
All around amazing experience. The space is beautiful and very cozy. Every dish out did the one before it. I’m not going to go into detail about each dish, you can trust that anything coming out of that kitchen is going to be amazing. See photos! We had a couple oysters, union salad, salmon crudo, steak and ribs and for desert crème brûlée. Highly recommend.
We came for breakfast. The immediate thing that stood out was the host (bus-person); let’s just say he didn’t make a great impression and leave it there. We sat outside and the service left very little to desire for, let’s just say it lacked polish. The Caesars were nice, we enjoyed them; I would order them again. The steak tartare lacked creativity and quite frankly taste. It was bland and predictable to say the least. The hot sauce was surprisingly hot, nobody was kidding there! Yet it was delicious. The Mushrooms on Toast (chanterelles) were the absolute star of our meal. I’d highly recommend it. So in summary: give it a shot, and decide whether it’s somewhere to return to. I doubt we will…
I recently went here for brunch. The food was amazing! Excellent quality and everything my friends and I ordered was good. I ordered the flat top breakfast. The eggs were fresh, the bacon are nice and thick, the bread was nicely toasted. The rosti needs a sentence of its own. It’s so crispy and browned to perfection! You won’t be disappointed if you come here for brunch. Totally worth your money and staff are super friendly.
After debating which restaurant to go to along Ossington, (there are a lot!) we landed on putting a reservation in for Union. Seemed like great reviews although not many recent ones in 2022.All in all, their food was pretty good. Flavourful, well-portioned, and well cooked. A solid 4 star French restaurant where you'll enjoy a filling meal but is not necessarily something spectacular or outstanding.The additional -1 star is from the service that could use some improvement. At the time, the restaurant was about half full, but from what I observed, they may have also been shorthanded having only 3 or so servers. I get that when you're serving drinks, food, and bussing, it becomes chaotic, but as a restaurant you also understand the # of expected guests and balance that against the staff required. Servers were not very attentive, requiring to be flagged down for anything, and a big point of improvement was their attitude. Most servers looked doom & gloom like they didn't want or need you business. Not a good vibe.Now the food..We ordered the elk sliders to start and I was actually hoping they would be a little gamier in flavour. They were really well cooked to a nice medium-well, juicy, but ultimately resembled a good normal beef slider.The steak tartare was quite good, they offer it in app size (3oz) and a main size (6oz). We ordered the main size and it was quite good topped with homemade pickles, and accompanied by 2 mustards, a hot sauce, and 6 large slices of toasted bread. The tartare itself already had quite a bit of mustard in it. They probably could've gone a little lighter on the mustard in the tartare as there were moments where it overpowered the flavourful meat itself.The steak frites was probably my favourite. Steak was perfectly cooked medium rare (although they didn't ask how we liked it) and seasoned, topped with a compound butter. The fries were perfectly crispy and thin, topped with a big dollop of homemade mayo that had a slight sweetness to it.Food was good, service needed improvement. Hopefully they get back to their previous pre-pandemic groove as they seem to have a history of great food and service.Cheers.
Unbelievably delicious. It's one of those places that absolutely everything on their menu - that changed daily! - is so full of flavour.Elk sliders on challah bread are just genius. And the beef hache with an egg on top was just amazing.Revision : have to add. This may be one of the best G&T in the city. House made tonic concoction.
I loved the flat iron breakfast and the smoked trout biscuit. Friendly servers and great food.Make a reservation in advance! We came here a few times for Sunday brunch but the wait time was 1 hour + without reservation.
This place is great! When you first walk in, you get this rustic feeling. The service is great and so friendly! Of course, the food was the bomb. It was fresh, delicious, and made me crave more. This place deserves a 5 star rating.
4/5Good food! We had their steak tartare, ribs, and steak & fries. They were unfortunately quite understaffed when we visited so we had to waive the server down multiple times. Subtracting one star for the service and cold fries. The food is tasty!
