    We loved our experience at Union on Yale! It was a warm Friday night but we were still able to get a quick seat inside which was great. Our waiter was super nice and helpful. To eat, my party shared the margherita pizza, lemon parm broccolini, and the buffalo cauliflower. The lemon parm broccolini and pizza were the standouts! Both so good and I would 100% order again.

    Walked by and was looking for a brunch place . The outdoor patio seating is very nice. Ordered pizza and biscuit with gravy. Pizza was too greasy and took a bit longer. Server was nice

    Prosciutto Sandwich $18

    I visited Union on Yale for brunch and had a very disappointing experience. When I arrived, I waited about 15 minutes at the front with no staff greeting us. The restaurant was almost empty, so I wasn't sure if I should seat myself. Eventually, I had to look for a staff member to ask. After that, we waited another 10 minutes before finally being seated. I ordered the Standard Burger $22 and my friend ordered the Prosciutto Sandwich $18 . The burger was extremely plain, no vegetables, no sauce, nothing at all, just a burnt hamburger patty. The patty was very dry and rubbery, and I'm not exaggerating. The Prosciutto Sandwich was also not worth the price. Both dishes were very disappointing and felt overpriced for such mediocre food. Our waitress was nice, but the service was very slow. On a positive note, the outdoor seating area and the menu presentation were nice.

    I've been on a bit of a brunch binge lately (third week in a row lol) and stopped by here yesterday for a late-ish brunch and it was a great experience! Naturally my friend and I had to sit outside because come on, it's brunch and we live in California. Doing brunch indoors is okay, but it's just so much more enjoyable having brunch outside. Clearly the rest of the restaurant felt the same way since the inside was empty. Plus, their outdoor seating area is very spacious and nice! I ordered their Supremo omelette sans 'shrooms and my friend ordered the biscuits and gravy. For an app to share we ordered the "Cauliflower ceviche" which I thought was a little... interesting, but hey! I'm open to new things. The omelette was good for sure! Nothing that'll blow your socks off, but still good. The ingredients inside were all flavorful and cooked nicely. The menu did not mention anything about an arugula salad being included with it and unfortunately I don't really like arugula. The dressing they used was nice and light and a bit tangy. More importantly, the arugula was dressed perfectly which made eating the freshly-mowed-lawn tasting vegetable less difficult to eat since there was flavor to mask the taste. Plus, I didn't want to be wasteful and why not eat some greens for health's sake? Anyway, the cauliflower ceviche. It was interesting like I said, but honestly? It was actually really good. I could do without the tortilla chips to be honest. Just give me a big heaping pile of this "ceviche" and I'd gladly inhale the whole thing. I tried a few bites of the biscuits and gravy and it was delicious! You can really taste the aromatics from the sausage. The biscuits were dense and moist. No complaints here! And what is a brunch without a little booze? We ordered a couple espresso martinis and let me tell you. TomTom in WeHo has unfortunately set the bar at unrealistic levels. I have yet to discover a place that can make it anywhere near as good as TomTom's, but with that being said, the espresso martinis here are probably one of the better ones I've had! If you're a fan of espresso martinis, definitely get you one (or 3). Service was amazing! Our server was so nice and one of the guys who dropped off the food had a really nice tattoo piece on his arm. Turns out him and I went to the same tattoo artist! If you're looking for a brunch spot, you definitely cannot go wrong here! I love the atomic era furniture/decor, the outdoor seating area is very spacious and nice, the food is good, and the service is great. Will definitely be back at some point!

    Union salad

    Went to this cute little place today in Claremont because we were specifically looking for a woodfired pizza. They've got indoor and outdoor seating and they seemed a touch understaffed for being a beautiful day. It was also a Tuesday lunchtime so maybe they weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was. We were able to prove the menu before we got seated. And our super friendly server came out and we were able to order right away. They've got a lunch special. That is a small personal pizza with a salad and we each got that. Salads came out first and I had the arugula salad, which was absolutely phenomenal. 10 of 10 would eat this every single day. The arugula was peppery and it was well dressed in a lemon vinaigrette type sauce. I am a fan of just plain lemon on mine, but this was delicious. My husband got a union salad, which is their specialty I guess. It's got colored carrots and some beets and some shallots. I thought the dressing was bland and it certainly needed salt and pepper. We asked for both and didn't get either. Our pieces came out and they were nice and woodfired. I feel like they could've been done just a little bit longer maybe a minute or two. The sauce was a lovely fresh type crushed tomato sauce. The cheese was nice and gooey and did not feel or taste like a package of processed cheese. Pepperonis were greasy, but in a real meat kind of way. I had to dab mine, but my husband just went to town on his. The pickled peppers is a pickled jalapeño. Big chunks of them. They certainly didn't skimp on any of the toppings. They were a little sweet and a little hot. Some of the big chunks were a little too sweet for my liking but overall, it was a nice flavor mix Also from a size standpoint, I thought the salad and pizza were very adequate for lunch at around $20 price point I asked for salt and pepper again as well as a side of ranch. This time we did get the salt and pepper as well as cheese and crushed red pepper. But we didn't get the ranch until we were leaving. The server did apologize and said he thought someone else was bringing it out but I pretty much deducted a star because we asked for a couple different things that never came. Overall, the service was super friendly, the ambience was nice for an outdoor lunch thought. I thought the menu looked delicious and there were several things I would like to come back and try and I would go back again.

    Non-alcoholic drinks

    Eugene was great! But unfortunately the food was a bit lacking. It was just a bit underwhelming. It was first time being here and we felt overwhelmed by the options and wanted to know the staples but kind of left deflated. I have heard about this place and heard only good things, but might not try it again. The purple moon cheese is delicious and we found some in store to buy because we loved it so much. Suggestion: you guys should try to do a mix of the two non-alcoholic beverages because we spilt them and then pour them half and half into each other and it made a perfect combo! Too much Parmesan on the flatbread and the bread for the for the charcuterie has no structure so your accoutrements would just fall off. We were told we could have requested flatbread for the charcuterie but only at the end of our experience. We sat outside and we loved it!

    It was my first time dining in this past weekend & I must say the food was delicious! The customer service at this location was also pretty good! Very clean inside the restaurant & very cool vibes indoors & outdoors! Would totally recommend!

    We've tried a few different items at The Union on Yale and overall it's been a really solid spot. They have both indoor and outdoor seating--indoor space is a bit limited, but since the place is pretty big overall, we've never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes. Service can vary--sometimes it's excellent, other times a bit spotty, especially when it gets busy. Food-wise, we've been happy! The spinach and artichoke dip is a favorite--we couldn't stop eating it. I had the roasted salmon with risotto once and now it's my go-to; absolutely delicious. Our toddler had the chicken fingers and fries and even those were great quality--crispy and juicy. My husband tried the steak frites and wasn't a fan; the cut was fatty and too chewy. Overall, a great casual spot we keep coming back to. Ideal for dinner with friends, date night, or family.

    Appetizers

    We were invited to a pre-wedding welcome dinner here last month. The outside patio was the perfect venue for a large group, service was excellent from beginning to end. We had cocktails/ beers before sitting down. The pre-ordered appetizers were mostly pretty good from two kids of pizzas to spinach dip, spicy cauliflower and brussel sprouts which was my favorite. Each person then ordered the individual main course, choices included salmon, Burger, pork chop, vegetarian, sausage pasta and chicken arugula salad. The pork chops were the standout; a thick slice perfectly tender and juicy. Other dishes were pretty decent as well. Don't remember what we had for dessert, everyone was very satisfied and happy. An excellent restaurant for small or large group, we'd recommend. We

    We finally decided to try Union on Yale after my wife had been wanting to check it out for a while. The location and ambiance are nice, especially with the option to sit outside on a beautiful day. We were seated quickly and our server initially came by right away, which was a good start. However, things went downhill a bit when we asked for water--it took much longer than expected, which isn't the best first impression. For food, I ordered the French omelette and added sourdough toast (since it doesn't come with it), while my wife went with the chicken sandwich and steak fries. One odd thing was that the toast came out first with extra plates, almost like it was meant to be an appetizer, which felt a bit off. When the main dishes arrived, the portions were underwhelming--especially the omelette, which felt quite small for the price. The arugula salad portion was actually larger than the omelette itself. The sourdough toast was also unusually hard, making it difficult to enjoy. Overall, the experience was just okay. The setting is nice, but the service was inconsistent and the food didn't quite justify the price. Not sure if this is a spot we'll be returning to anytime soon.

    I really liked the outdoor seating and ambience of this place but the service was lacking. We were a table of 4 and our meals came out one by one with about 2-5 minutes between each meal coming out. We had to ask for salt and pepper and refills on water and coffee. Food was good but not excellent.

    We were invited to dine here as part of pretty wedding festivities. The place was busy. The menu was preset with choices by the bride and groom. All of the food was delicious! We really enjoyed the brussel sprouts, buffalo cauliflower and the hot artichoke dip. The pizzas were good, too! For our entrees we had the Salmon and Yellow Curry. Both were good

The Cheesesteak Egg Rolls set the perfect tone to our meal with a generous amount of cheesesteak, crispy shells, and the perfect sauces for dipping to complement the appetizer. The Wagyu burger was excellent. We ordered the larger basket of fries to share which were fried to perfection. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Pastrami Reuben. The food at Finney's Crafthouse in Claremont was outstanding. We would definitely visit again in the future when in the area.

Younger folks might have a tough time following along the songs. If you want your song played it's like a $20 payment unless no one is there and you might get away with under $20.

But some shady charges or maybe we'll call it miscommunication just rubbed me the wrong way.

We've done this many times in the past and always been charged the same price for both. I asked the server at the end "the veggie version is 8$ more expensive than chicken?" And he just shrugged and said yes. Just found it interesting that a meat dish would be 8$ less than a purely cheese/veggie dish. Especially since done this in the past with no issue. I also asked for "hot sauce" for my dish. They brought out a spicier house salsa as the hot sauce...totally understandable and the salsa here is usually free. Apparently it's a 4$ "chipotle sauce" that the waiter did not inform me would be charged. I would've easily just said I want tapatio or no "hot sauce". I used maybe a teaspoon for 4$. I told the waiter this when we questioned the bill and he just shrugged. These may seem like small inconveniences but when they seem like they intentionally don't tell you the details and then when called out about it just kinda shrug it off, it was a disappointing end to an otherwise tasty dinner. We love it here and will certainly be back but it just sucks that I have to be extra cautious & skeptical when ordering from now on.
