Outside
Jen P.

Super cute old church turned restaurant. Nice Patio. We were seated fast. The server was friendly and worked hard but IMHO had too many tables on her own. The patio was comfy and nice for summer evening. Both our beers were good but the food is what drags this down to 3 stars. My mashed potatoes were cold. Super odd. And my husband did not care for their famous mac and didn't like the pork. The hit for the meal was the smoked chicken app.

What a cool place! This bar/restaurant is in an old church building. The ambiance is amazing at lunchtime, so I bet that it's even better in the evening. Our server was amazing, the food was delicious, and the espresso martini was one of the best I've ever had! I didn't try the famous Mac this time, so I will definitely have to return some day when I'm in the area!

The Benedict w/ Ham

A classic restaurant with alot of character. I've been going here since I was a kid. The brunch is very good if you get a chance to try it. Their wait staff and kitchen team are super prompt and attentive which is a plus. The only downside is that the room echos a lot so it can be hard to hear people at your table.

French Toast
Kendall B.

The French toast was to die for! Went here for brunch with the family the food was amazing! It had nuts in it as well as the other toppings inside of it were delicious. Absolutely love the union owned restaurants and would definitely go back if I am wanting a nice breakfast. Service was super quick and staff were all super friendly. My only complaint is that the restaurant is a bit small so it is probably difficult to get a seat, so I would definitely recommend getting a reservation or getting there early.

Fantastic food and amazing atmosphere. Get the pot pie, that's my favorite. The Mac-n-cheese is good, too.

Tasty Reuben sandwich, large enough to split. Fries were fine but I've definitely had better. They are flat wedges not sticks

Really great time with a large group! Food was okay and the drinks were really good!…read more For our large group, we had the private vault room to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was really nice to be sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant and it was pretty cool to sit inside of this vault. Our server was great! He kept coming by cracking jokes and making sure that we had enough to drink. The Tilefish dish I had was okay. It was on special that night and I was expecting it to be some big showing for the market price it was listed at. The piece was pretty small, rice was mushy, and the sauce had no flavor to it really. The fish was great though, so the main part of the dish was great at least! I had multiple cocktails, one being an espresso martini which was excellent! Overall a great place though. Be careful walking to the bathroom though, that glass floor where people dining below you can look up at you is pretty bizarre.

You can have dinner inside the room that used to be the vault. In the downstairs bathroom, the wall is safety deposit boxes. The upstairs is beautiful and light. The downstairs has a bit of a dungeon vibe and the table we had there was like a picnic table with benches I stead of chairs. The benches were uncomfortable and everyone's purses kept falling off. The service was decent and our server was knowledgeable about the specials and menu in general. The food and drinks were hit or miss. The burgers, truffle fries, and oysters were a hit. The beet salad was bland. The espresso martini was pretty but did not impress, other drinks like the lemon drops were pretty good.

My wife and I discovered this place by accident while we were visiting some friends in Michigan. We…read morewere very hungry and wanted some food quick. I wanted to go the the Union Woodshop, but the wait was too long. We then discovered that Essence on Main had a deli, and had a few inside seats (which was great because it was late October). So I ordered the Reuben and my wife ordered the Chicken salad (I think, it was on a croissant). Wow!! That was the best Reuben I have ever had!! This is the measure with which I now judge all Reubens. We had just started watching what we eat, and were trying to be calorie conscience, so I asked about how many calories were in the Reuben. I told the cashier that if they didn't have it written down that it wasn't a big deal and to not worry about it. She asked the sandwich master in the back (I think she was a manager, however I don't remember), and she said that she didn't have it written down, but she would figure it out for me. I didn't want to inconvenience them, but she said that it would be good practice. When I returned to get my sandwich, she had the figure ready, and it was about 630. Now that is customer service!!! They are not limited to just a deli (although that is my favorite part). They have quit a few knickknacks, kitchen section, gifts, tea section, Michigan souvenirs (some nice ones, not necessarily the cheap touristy ones), etc. It is a great all around store! Whenever we are in the area, we definitely go back here for my Reuben, and my wife gets her Chicken salad sandwich!

Love stopping in here to check out the wonderful gift ideas. I find the cutest things here - it's…read morehard to focus on who I am buying for and not myself.

Terrific steaks, cooked exactly as ordered. The sautéed mushrooms were lovely, the carrot cake was…read morereally great. We appreciated the attentive service and nice selection of wines by the glass. The house pickle martini was a fun twist on a classic. I'm a big fan of a hasselback potato. While flavorful, this fell short as the edges were not browned and crispy. That's the thrill of the hassle back. This would be a five star review IF they would prohibit ball caps, men in t-shirts, shorts, or anyone in denim in the main dining room on Saturday nights. It was clear there were many people celebrating special occasions with men in sport coats and ladies dressed nicely. As a courtesy to those guests, people with ball caps and other casual attire or athletic attire should be seated in the bar or outside on a Friday or Saturday night. As Tony Soprano put it so well: Is this a ballpark? Are you eating a hotdog? Take off your hat!

We were seated at a table toward the back and our waiter greeted us straight away and got us water and talked about appetizers. We chose the burrata and thoroughly enjoyed it. For dinner I ordered the dry aged New York and my wife the filet. We added mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and Brussels sprouts. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were amazing! We order too much food, but figured it would make a great sandwich the next day. They offered my wife a free desert for her birthday and she chose the banana pudding. It was a nice light ending to an amazing meal. The food was great, the service impeccable and look forward to going back.
