    Classic Eggs Benedict
    Amanda ..

    Went here for brunch with some friends. Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant! Food was pretty good - I got the eggs benedict and my friends said the omelets were good too. Nothing blew us away but definitely think a reliable option for classic brunch foods

    Espresso martini
    Kyla J.

    Have been wanting to try here for a long time. Finally went and it was great overall! Our server was very nice, cool vibe inside for sure. The space is open with a high ceiling so it does get loud when it's busy. The apps we had were so good! I was very impressed by the pork belly, and the presentation was 10/10. Entree was also good, I had the half chicken. Loved how saucy it was and chicken was very juicy. The drinks I got were just okay.Performative margarita really just tasted like tequila and sour mix to me. Wasn't crazy about espresso martini either. My husband's cocktail was very good, the Incan garden, great use of flavors! Same to the float like a butterfly, so tasty!

    Shrimp and grits
    James S.

    Food: 4.4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 3.5/5 Our server was named Berkeley and she was great. The shrimp and grits were the best version of this dish that I've ever had. And I've been to Husk in Charleston. The shrimp were so big and plump and favorable. The grits were creamy and the spice level was on point.

    Pot pie - a teeny bit salty but what a crust!!
    Vijay N.

    I was so pleased with the quality of food and the ambience at Union kitchen! The tables were spaced fairly far apart, so there was plenty of room to feel like it was a lively atmosphere without being overcrowded! There was a nice big table right near the window for our whole family. The service was friendly and all of the dishes were very creative and delicious! Well standouts were the vegetable pot pie with an amazing layered crust, and all of the desserts! We would happily return to have a meal with family or to celebrate a special occasion!

    My first time actually having dinner here after previously coming for our lunch or brunch only. Inside the car is perfect for a date night or if you want to do a nice gathering with your friends. We start at the happy hour where they had plenty of drink options and different food items. Their wings were delicious and came with a blue cheese dressing that really liked. Some of the people in our party got the margarita and an old-fashioned. Both were very well liked. They had some many versions of their dinner entrées on the happy hour menu so we are glad to try them. We also enjoyed the chicken Katsu sandwich as well as the potatoes. The steak frites was new so we were excited to try it. Because we were sharing they were nice enough to separate it into two plates. I highly recommend this restaurant!

    We stopped in for a quick bite during the Holiday Stroll. Me and my friend we both ordered the burgers and drinks. Our burgers were perfect and our waitress was really nice. She noticed I didn't like the first drink that I ordered and offered to bring another one which was a margarita this time. ( fig and pepper I believe) . Very tasty and perfect to warmed you up. The ambience was nice, a little bit noisy but a really nice experience overall. I would definitely return.

    Came on a Thursday night in November without a reservation and sat in the bar at a high top. The bar is cute. Service was good, food was decent not amazing.

    Chocolate caramel tart
    Christina S.

    If I could give union kitchen more stars I would. We made a reservation on a whim just to try a new spot for dinner while we're up in west Hartford and I'm mad we didn't come here sooner. Their tasting menu is absolutely worth spending the money on for 6 courses plus an amuse. We started off with a raw oyster topped with sturgeon caviar and was the perfect amount of briney. Next course was a seared diver scallop with fennel. The scallop had the perfect sear. Next was the foie gras course. It practically melted in your mouth. The dish had the perfect amount of sweet and saltiness to pair with the smoothness of the foie gras. The pasta course was a mortadella mousseline agnolotti. If I could order this one dish everyday, I absolutely would. It was no doubt the best pasta I've ever had. The saltiness from the cheese was the perfect touch to the mousseline that you savored in every bite. The fish course was a striped bass over jasmine rice and paired with a curry sauce. It was flavorful with a good amount of spice. The meat course was a dry bed New York strip with layered potatoes. I could lick the sauce off the plate it was so good!and lastly, after all that food was a chocolate tart with a mascarpone whip accompanied by a caramel sauce.it was rich, smooth, creamy and the perfect way to end the night. Overjoyed and satisfied is an understatement with this experience. It was truly one of the best tasting menus we've ever had. We're looking forward to returning very very soon!

    We stopped by here for a quick bite and drink. We had mocktails and they were delicious and fresh! We had the apps i included in the pictures and they were pretty filling for apps, especially the brussels and pork belly. The pork belly was so good. The bartender was attentive. We need to come back for dinner for sure to get the full experience.

    Happy hour menu
    Josh S.

    From the happy hour menu we tried: Dumplings, tuna Nachos and the mac and cheese. And anything with the words pork belly in them. Cocktails menu is creative and changes often. A great low key, classy, casual place that usually has options from a quick snack to a more upscale dinner experience.

    Menu

    Stopped in at Union Kitchen with friends for drinks and dessert. We just had eaten so we wanted something light and sweet. It wasn't extremely packed when we got there around 730pm On a Friday but people started to come later and it definitely got busier. Our waitress was very sweet and helpful providing suggestions! If you are GF , there is definitely limited choices for dessert ! I had the Montenegro Ice cream. I'm Not sure if it was suppose to be soft like a shake but separately the Montenegro liquor was served to be poured over the ice cream. It was very good. My friends had drinks and a Warm Brownie. Menu has lots to choose from but if you are looking for sliders and wings this is not the place. Perfect date nite restaurant!

    My friend and I visited this restaurant for the first time, instantly had good energy and a pleasant atmosphere. Classy ambiance, no loud music, the lighting was just right (not too harsh). Staff were friendly, and warmly welcoming us. The waiter even offered her services to take a photo for us, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. Everything we ordered from this resturaunt was a 10/10, matched our expectations. The food description was perfectly described as what it tasted with its high quality ingredients and artistic plates. We were highly satisfied, and did not leave with empty stomachs, but with empty plates. We look forward to ordering more foods off the menu, and to see friendly faces with a personable attitude once again, for our next visit. Highly recommend if you are in the West Hartford center location. They also offer private seatings/parties as well for bigger groups. Thank you Union Kitchen!

They even have games tucked away so you can hang out longer, which makes it feel like more than just a bar or restaurant. This time I came for dinner and ordered the steak, which was perfectly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I also tried the lamb (not usually my thing), but my friend who loves lamb absolutely cleared her plate. So that tells you everything you need to know. Even without having a cocktail this time (I just had water), the experience was still great, which says a lot about the atmosphere and service. We also did this fun blindfolded dessert experience where you're blindfolded and try to guess what you're eating. Its super unique and actually really good. I wish they gave us a little card explaining it, but it was still such a cool touch. Between the food, the ambiance, the creative touches, and the overall vibe, this place just keeps delivering. Whether you're going for brunch, dinner, drinks, or a fun night out, this spot is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely keep coming back.

We were seated by the window and were given freshly baked bread. We ordered the French classics: mussels, escargot, duck leg confit, and steak and fries. The mussels came out first and were pretty average. I usually like sipping the wine broth it comes with or dipping fries/bread into the broth. The escargot had plenty of oil and seasoning. It was actually too salty even though my coworker requested less salt on everything. I enjoyed dipping the fresh bread into the oil. Lastly came the entrees. I was a bit disappointed in both of them. The hanger steak was cooked medium rare like I wanted but the texture was not great. I was hoping for a more tender cut and this was a bit tough and lean. The frites were cooked well and very crispy. The duck confit was very tender but I didn't think it was amazing. Overall I don't think I will be returning to this restaurant with so many other great options around. I might be biased as I am not too familiar with French cuisine but we already sampled most of the classics already.
