Went for Hudson Restaurant Week Dinner Food - 5/5. Beef tartare was refreshing with the special sauce adding a nice hint of sweetness and creamy texture. Cauliflower "fried rice" was very interesting in that the texture really did mimic fried rice. However, being all vegetable there was a lot of excess liquid; a little too wet for a proper stir fry. The chimichurri hanger steak was also a treat for texture lovers as the crispy onions, seared steak and soft roasted vegetables made for a great combination. Steak was cooked to the desired medium rare. A nice sauce would have been nicer than the compound butter and the brioche at the bottom seemed unnecessary. Churro sundae was sweet and soft. Service - 4/5. Friendly and courteous. The dishes came out in good sequential order. Value - 5/5. A delicious and unique four course dining experience for only $29? One of the best restaurant week deals by far. Parking - Street (Metered) read more

To keep things short and sweet... place is nice, service is good, location is wonderful. This place needs to serve food though. The food is literally just fine. Only fine. When you have prices that are equal to neighbor restaurants and your food cant compare cause it's just fine... well, it doesnt make it worthwhile to visit just because its a nice place. read more

Literally the worst martini and old fashion I have ever had, my friend and I literally just left our drinks untouched. It was so bad I called restaurant to flag this to them but no one ever called back. Save your money and avoid going here. read more

The Union Hall Brunch is AMAZING. I was very pleasantly surprised! The restaurant is right on the water, and it is quite spacious inside. It's a nice ambiance with a very trendy feel. On a Saturday afternoon, it was very crowded and everyone had their signature BIG drink in a mason jar. I highly recommend the U.H. Brunch Punch - it was an amazing mix of alcohols and juices, and it definitely did the job. We were all feeling it! The $24 brunch prix-fixe is a STEAL - you get your choice of 4 small dishes with the BIG drink, and the food was good portioned and high quality. I love the tastings idea - the whole table shared all of the dishes and thought every single one was fantastic. I will absolutely be back here - highly recommend for brunch! read more

I got a burger. Good burger. Juicy and flavorful... could do better on the bun and thicker bacon would be better, but it was a good burger. Fingerling mashed potatoes. Satisfyingly thick with sweetness from green onion and the salty bacon. Really a chunky stuffed potato skin without the skin but served mounded in a hot skillet... I got that instead of the fries and sided with a spring lettuce salad. This is a good (high brow?) bar with better than average, dare I say, classy bar food. Try the 902 Imperial Stout on tap. read more

Came here yesterday for lunch and was pleasantly surprised all-around. We ordered wine and sangria, all of which we liked. Then, we decided to order a bunch of small plates for the table. We realized afterwards that we had ordered too much for three of us but I'm glad we got to try a bunch of different plates. We had the French onion soup Mac and cheese bites (absolutely delicious, especially with the dipping sauce), the cauliflower fried rice (loved this!), two of the sliders (both good), the calamari, French fries, and the oven roasted tomato flatbread. The only thing we didn't like was the flatbread, which tasted like a frozen pizza at best. However, everything else was amazing! Francis was our server and he was very attentive. The view is also great, as you are on the waterfront on Sinatra Drive. I would love to come back for their happy hour or for dinner to try some more of their dishes! read more

yup - my go to with my bestie for a happy hour bev that turns into dinner. Staff is excellent SUPER accommodating and I love feeling like I'm never rushed out. So far never disappointed with the service or food ! See you there read more

My first Yelp review ever. Terrible experience. My group was so excited to have a fun Sunday brunch and it fell so, so short. The staff was truly awful. Offensive and rude. Staff also tried to submit a 'no show' status to Open Table. Will never be back and will never recommend. read more

Eeeeek! New favorite spot. If I didn't think it would be weird if I went back again tonight after just being here last night I would be there in a second . They have a great happy hour and each day of the week they have different specials after the happy hour ends which is awesome. I'm a wine snob. I always like to try a restaurants house wine because it says a lot about them. It's easy to find a good expensive wine. It's hard to find a good wine with a good price--and their house Pinot Grigio was SO good! (Also try their wine punches mmmm). And I digress...onto ambience and food. First: our waiter Chris was awesome. Super friendly and sociable. Willing to take the time to explain the idea of the restaurant and give us some suggestions. We too pretty much all his suggestions and they were soooo good! This restaurant is a small plate/sharing type spot which I love so if you aren't into that this isn't your place. I highly recommended the cheese board, Olives, oysters ($1 during happy hour), Brussels sprout Caesar salad, French onion mac and cheese bites (but you need to drizzle the French onion reduction on top/dip them in it- delish and a big part of the dish), the gnocchi and mutz (not up to par with a good Italian restaurant gnocchi but still good), and last but not least (and my personal FAV) the peach and pig flatbread...drooling just thinking about it . Was too full to try and dessert but I will most definitely be back and i will be trying plenty of them!! Honestly they just opened 2 weeks ago and I can't believe how great everything last night was. My only suggestion: let dogs find outside! I mean they kind of do. The dogs have to be on the outside of the fence which is fine. But they said it was because they served food but hey the ainsworth and house of que both let the dogs inside the outdoor eating area so not sure if that's an actual rule! But regardless will definitely be back! read more

This is a huge place that serves small plates and never seems all that crowded. Which is why the indifferent service seems odd as there was 2 bartenders and 4-6 customers and they would rather chat with each other than the customers. They have a good beer selection and food was okay and space is nice. If service were better could see this being 4 stars. My house blood Mary was okay though weak. read more

My friends and I walked into the restaurant and we were greeted by an older lady with blonde hair. Actually, she didn't even greet us we had to get her attention as she was looking down. She made a snarky comment to us because we were 18 minutes late for our reservation and said "ya know you should call because we give the tables away after 15 minutes" The lady walked away shaking her head and cleaned and sanitized the table for us as we waited outside in the cold. She called our name and ran to table while we were pretty much outside still. Throughout our whole meal she continued to glance at us with a nasty look as well as the other servers/bar tenders. I will never come back to this place that made me feel so un welcomed and uncomfortable! I have to also note that our server we had was sweet and this has nothing to do with her! read more

I came here last night for New Year's Eve. The only place that allowed us to seat without a reservation. We where greeted but this blonde lady which gave us a snarky attitude when asked for a seat without a reservation. I got the lobster gnocchi which was pretty salty and I couldn't find the lobster. My husband got the ny steak grill medium rear and it looked like really cheap steak. They also didn't want to accommodate the plate to his liking. And to top off I ordered a spicy margarita which came super late and it taste disgusting. Save your money and go somewhere else!!! read more

Terrible experience, service, and food. Came for outdoor brunch with reservation. To start off, staff gives attitude on check in for resevation and even worse attitude upon request to arrange two tables next to each other so our party wouldn't be split up. If you want to politely decline, fine..but no need for attitude. Hot and iced coffee orders never came after 20 mins. When we asked for status, were told they brewed hot coffee and poured them into glasses and the glasses broke all over the staff. Well, that is not how iced coffee is made. A restaurant serving brunch should know that. Amateur hour. When it finally did come out, it was undrinkable as expected. Actual brunch entrees - portion size was unbelievably miniscule. It looked like they split one normal portion into two. Eggs were cold. When the entrees were eventually served... bit by bit..nobody had any utensils to eat the food with. If you want to just be a bar and serve drinks with a nice water view, stick with that. Just don't pretend to be a restaurant. read more

Went here for brunch and loved it! Bartender was very attentive and the food is amazing! Will definitely be back again!

Beautiful new york view. Went on independence day and was very nice. Hostess was sweet and helpful even though they didn't have a big enough space outside for my family they made room. Bartender was super busy but we got our orders on time. Family came for vacation but I will be back soon! read more

Tried the stroganoff and the crispy Brussels sprouts. The stroganoff was okay. Nothing special. The Brussels sprouts were soggy as opposed to crispy. Maybe that's because I had takeout and it was not packed well. read more

Get your drink and dance on A group of us stopped by this place on a Friday night around 10 pm, so I guess Union Hall has two faces - a restaurant that converts to a lounge/club. If I were still in my 20's, then this place would be perfect for getting your buzz on before hopping onto the Path Train and heading into the Manhattan. I will say that the club/lounge vibe was kind of cool. The music was a loud mix of today's tunes and late 90s/early 00s hits. The drinks were pretty standard. Maybe Union Hall has are fun cocktails, but I am more of a gin and soda type of guy when I'm out and about. The bar clientele looks very similar to the types that hang out in the Meatpacking District. read more

First time here and I can't wait to come back again! The food is super innovative and I was beyond impressed. I came here on a Saturday for the dinner menu and the options were endless. I ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, truffle deviled egg, and the Cauliflower rice. The flavors were absolutely incredible. My boyfriend got the bone marrow, bloody Mary shrimp, and dorito fried shrimp and he said it was out of this world amazing. The service was amazing and the servers were knowledgeable of the menu and were able to answer all of our questions since it was our first time. The brunch menu looks bomb and I cannot wait to come back and check it out. Thank you Hoboken for adding this gem!!! read more

This place has a beautiful decor and definitely an expansive menu with great vegetarian options. I came here for a birthday dinner and the place was able to seat our group of 20 in a middle area which worked out well since it was near the bar also. Initially when i looked at the menu i was surprised at a reasonable prices and the vast vegetarian variety, however i came to find that the plates were extremely small. For 5 of us, we ordered 7 plates amongst ourselves to feel a bit full. The best things on the menu were definitely the Mac and cheese balls, the burrata (DO NOT eat the raisins. They're extremely sweet), and the cheese board. Would come back again, but i have it a 3 Star because even though the place had good food, i had to go to chipotle after to fill myself up. read more

Was trying to have lunch at the W Hotel but they were fully booked until 3:35pm o.O Decided to roam around the waterfront looking for better options. Went into 2 restaurants, looked at their menus, and decided to try out Union Hall! Outside seats are first come, first serve. Luckily a group just left so we didn't have to wait too long for a table. Everything here is served tapas style so it's good to come with a group so you can try a bunch of different stuff. We had a group of 4 people and the waitress suggested we order 5 dishes to share. We ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes, avocado toast, smoked salmon toast, pigs & peach flatbread, and 2 orders of chicken & waffle dogs (as recommended by the waitress). Cinnamon roll pancakes - they were..okay... Avocado Toast - only came with 1 toast so was kind of hard to share with 4 people Smoked Salmon Toast - same as avocado toast (also the bread they used was kind of hard and made it difficult to cut and share) Pigs & Peach flatbread - the flatbread was REALLY hard Chicken & Waffle dogs - the waffle was AMAZING (smelled good, tasted good) but the "chicken" part of it... not so much... it didn't even look or taste like chicken... odd.. I also ordered the fresh pressed juice - small glass but tasted extra healthy! read more

What an amazing place to eat and have some cocktails. The view, the food and the drinks are amazing. we come here every weekend and we love everything about this place. The service is perfect. Carrie, dace and Gregg are amazin. I highly recommend it!!! read more

I feel like I wanted to like Union Hall- I think the decor is nice and it looks like a cute place. In theory, having the small plates and trying different food option is cool and I usually really like that. But honestly the food was not good. We got the brunch special with mason jar drink. The jars were extremely dirty. All around I just didn't feel like it was a very clean place. And on top of that the service was awful. It took them 20 minutes to greet us (it wasn't that busy). I felt like we were the forgotten table because everything just took soo long. I've been twice and this happened to me both times. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend. read more

I liked that they had a big open space with windows to enjoy good weather. Service was mid at best. Food portions are weird? Some are too big and some are way too small to share (small plates that are meant to share). They lost most of their points because they have a drink called the Sinatra Colada which is just suppose to be rum, pineapple, and coconut. I received it and it was neon blue. The two tables next to me also ordered it and they were different shades of blue or green. We all asked why and the server stated it was the curaçao. No where on the menu did it say it had this and by the looks on everyone's faces- no one wanted it. I asked her to take it back because I wasn't going to drink. She didn't take it back until she dropped the check to which she snatched my drink (full) but not the rest of the tables which were all empty. She charged us for it as an "Aperol Spritz" which made no sense because i ordered what was on the menu. It is what it is but that just left a bad taste in my mouth that somehow I was in the wrong. The fries were also very lame. The place is also very loud. read more

Delicious food and very kind service. The arugula salad is amazing, the drinks are tasty and just strong enough.

This is my to go brunch spot! They serve small plates that are perfect if you just want to try a bunch of different things or if you're with a group and like to share. A 25$ brunch special is also available and allows you to pick 4 different small plates and comes with a choice of one unfinish-able mimosa, Bloody Mary or their special brunch punch. Pretty good deal if you ask me! Every brunch dish will be something you've never tried before and has some unexpected twist. Big shoutout the person creating these! Must try the chicken waffle dog! They have a nice outdoor patio if you like to sit outdoors with a Manhattan skyline view and plenty of seating indoors as well. I will have to come for a dinner soon as I've heard some amazing things about this as well. See you soon! read more

This is my second time visiting this establishment. First time I had some apps and a couple mains to share and it was just OK. I came here a second time and ordered the Kobe burger. It didn't taste phenomenal and it comes with string potato strips which is just deep fried and not appetizing to eat. It's almost like a garnish as opposed to a side. I would have ordered fries instead which is better suited for a burger. It only comes with cheese and some sautéed onions and wish there a bit more texture, maybe a slice of tomato or something (vs just putting on ketchup). Our server was nice but it seems a bit understaffed (came around 4pm). read more

Every single time I come to union hall, I am "greeted" by the rudest, most unfriendly hostess in the world. The first time I thought she was just having a bad day, but it's truly every single time.

I've been here for brunch a few times and it's pretty decent. Went for dinner last night and had a nice time. It took a while to get a server as they seemed confused as to who had our section, but once we had a waitress the service was great and attentive. Frose - delicious, but very expensive for the size. $13 just seems way too steep. Seafood sampler - a good deal for $30, but not sure I would order it again. 4 oysters, 3 large shrimp, smoked salmon, and crab salad. I don't like oysters, but my sister said they were OK. The shrimp were not good. They did not taste fresh at all, and were very rubbery. Tasted like frozen shrimp someone ran under the faucet to defrost. The salmon was the best in my opinion. Pork belly bao - probably my favorite of the meal Burrata flatbread - nice size for splitting, and would order again Previously, I've had the cheese board (awesome), lobster sliders (fantastic), and a few of the other flatbreads (all great). Their beer list is also extensive. If you're in the mood to split some meals and try a bit of everything, I recommend Union Hall. Just be aware some of the prices are a little steep. read more

After being excited to patronize this business with a large group, we were not only told our reservation no longer existed, but we're treated extremely aggressively and condescendingly by the front of house staff and the owner. It was obvious that our reservation was given to someone else (even though we had paid $50 to secure it) and that instead of admitting that that was the case, the staff decided to berate our group and act as though we were creating a problem, when we were standing calmly behind a desk trying to confirm a reservation. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone, I have never been treated like this, and hope no one else has to go through the same process. There are plenty of better restaurants in Hoboken, I recommend finding one that isn't union hall. read more

On Friday night I met my girlfriend for a drink after work at Union Hall since they are the featured Hoboken Secret Happy Hour spot through Hoboken Happy Hours for the month of January. I typically tend to go out uptown however the special for the first week of Secret Happy Hour is 1/2 price house wines and we figured why not have some cheap drinks. We got to the bar around 6:45 pm and it was pretty empty so we easily got seats at the bar. When we ordered our first round of wines, the bartender told us their normal happy hour special is 1/2 price houses (house wines are $7) through 7 pm and she didn't seem to understand what we were talking about when we tried to show her the Hoboken Happy Hour Instagram Post. When we went to order our second round of drinks, it was after 7 pm so I again brought up the Secret Happy Hour special - she was very confused and had no idea what I was talking about. She studied the Instagram post on my phone for a while until she finally said OK. Apparently the bar-tending staff was not aware of the monthly promotion they are doing. We shared their cauliflower fried rice (w/o pork belly) which was tasty and a good portion to snack on. By the time we were getting ready to close out around 9 pm, the place had filled up and there was a private 30th birthday party taking place. We each had 3 wines in total. When we got the bill, two of the wines rang up at 4 dollars each and the other wines rang up $3.50 each. If the regular happy hour special is 1/2 price house wines and the secret happy hour special is 1/2 price house wines all day/night for the 1st week, then why weren't all the wines the same price? All of the wines should've rang up at $3.50. When I asked our bartender about this, she said she wasn't sure and said she just keys into the computer and that's what it comes up. She also didn't automatically take the bill away to correct it; she instead made me feel uncomfortable for bringing up a $1 difference. Bottom line, if you are running a monthly promotion, you should make sure your staff is aware of it and also make sure your POS system bills the right price. read more

Great spot to catch up with friends or coworkers for lunch on weekdays or for happy hour after work! The post-work happy hour crowd is honestly the biggest draw for Union Hall. Union Hall has a wide selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. Their food options are all delicious as well. The space is huge and can fit large groups easily, but they also have smaller tables if you're just going to catch up with someone one on one or on a date. I'm giving Union Hall four stars mainly for the food. There are very few healthy options on the menu, so be prepared to break your diet if you are on one. Moreover, the portions are smaller than I expected for the price. The food portions are kind of like large tapas. I will say though, despite the small size and the unhealthy-ness, all the food that we ate did taste great! read more

STAY AWAY! We just so happened to be the last table of the night, something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye... MICE EVERYWHERE!!

Was actually told by there wait staff to try other restaurants on the street... wait times were inaccurate; pretty much a free for all on a Saturday night. Actual quotes from management when attempting to communicate our poor experience: - "Have you ever worked in the restaurant or hospitality industry before?" - "There are many other people enjoying their meals this evening" - " There are plenty of other restaurants on this street for you to try" Was pretty shocked any restaurant, especially in a competitive area would speak to their customers that way...
