My husband booked this for our 9th anniversary. The stained glass & architectural elements of the dining room are beautiful. The food was great, we’ll have to come back near the end of the year to try the chef 5 course menu with wine pairing!

We came here for a birthday dinner and we all enjoyed our meal. The cocktails were refined and the appertizers and mains were very flavorful. I was especially looking forward to the dessert and was not disappointed! The souffle was like eating a cloud and the eclair was super tasty. Yes, it is pricey, but this is a great place for a special occasion.

Dining at Union League is an exquisite experience. From the lovely host escorting us to our table to the DIVINE chocolate soufflé we had for dessert. The service is impeccable, the dining room is stunning and the food is phenomenal. We have dined at Union League twice and are already looking forward to our next visit.

My wife and I rencently went to dinner here and had an amzing time. The host was pleasent and courteous and gave us an option of where to sit. Our server, Jonathan, was knowledeable and gracious to us who are not avid fine diners. He made great wine recommendations to us for our meals. The food was cooked to perfection and delicious! Very impressed!

We have been going to Union League for 10 years, both for work and family – it is a great restaurant, the menu changes with the seasons, but the quality, accuracy of preparation and presentation & service are immaculate, and the wine list terrific! The cost is substantial – but the value is amazing. Highly recommended!

I attended a three-course dinner event in a private room. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious. The vegetarian menu option was creative and unique. The room had surprisingly good acoustics. We could hear the guest speaker without a microphone as well as the question and answer. It seemed like a great option for a rehearsal dinner or other special occasion.

Went for a date night with my wife. We really enjoyed our selves. From making the reservations over the phone to bring seated once we arrived. From our first glass of water through to our last bite of dessert, we enjoyed every second. Every person we encountered was pleasant and warm. Jonathon, our fine dining tour guide, took us on an incredible journey. From making great food and drink recommendations to a brief history of the building and the restaurant, he knocked a Homrade (inside joke). Thank you everyone there for a wonderful dining experience. We will be back!

Wonderful experience, service was fanatic and very knowledgeable about all the items on the menu and wine pairings. Was totally blown away with the quality and how delicious it all was! Absolutely recommend to anyone as long as you don’t mind dropping a few shekels. We had a braised short rib and polenta dish that was absolutely phenomenal as well as the duck confit for appetizer.
