Great dependable neighborhood spot for dinner and weekend brunch. They have also been great to work with for special events. I am so glad they have been in Union Square for as long as they have and I sincerely hope they continue for years to come.

I am not sure what this place is like as far as hanging out, and for drinks, it looks like it could potentially be a great spot. Because it's so beautiful inside it's so spacious, the decor is absolutely gorgeous. They have inadequate amount of staff, however during my visit there weren't many people in there so I don't know what the serving ratio is. I would highly advise against the food, I guess I can't speak for all of it but I did have the I'll tell you right now fish and chips and the chicken sandwich and both were very disappointing. The batter on the fish and chips is so greasy and has this weird like taste to it. The french fries are delicious, though. And the crispy chicken sandwich I don't know it tastes like they fried in an oil that's been used way too many times. Our server was okay. I'm not the best at hospitality, but she was attentive. Another thing I disliked was my food was brought out before my daughters, I always think that's weird because I would like to eat the same time as a person that I'm there with. So once my food comes out, I have to wait for her to come out, and then mine is cold. I'm just sitting there. But the server did take note and asked why her food wasn't there at the same time, so maybe it was just the kitchen issue. They have a big drink list, so if you're going to drink, I would say go for it because it does look like that kind of spot.

The atmosphere was nice and quiet. The food we got was terrible. For what I paid it shouldn’t have tasted that bad.

Classic Union Sqr gastropub. Our party of 4 was there for brunch on a crowded Saturday. Dishes were very good to excellent, as were Bloody Mary's. Service was understandably a bit harried. Place can get loud so may not be ideal for a business meeting or romantic tete a tete.

One amazing breakfast. The staff was dinner if the most flavorful and tender I've ever had... 3 years later I looked at that and maybe I have one more beer than I thought. But, that was still the most flavorful and tender steak I've ever had.

Nice atmosphere and a great drink menu. The oysters were disappointing, but you can’t expect too much from $1 oysters. Steak frites was cooked well and they have great red wines to go with it.
Restaurant has been around for a long time, but the food is status quo. We had a couple cocktails, which were average, and dinner was also just average. It would’ve been nice to start with a bread basket as we came hungry, but they don’t do that. In fact, they don’t really even have any for purchase. The restaurant was rather empty on a cold winters evening. Service was good. I think with all the exciting restaurants in this area, this is not a place I would recommend, unless you really want standard American burger & fries fare.

I really liked the atmosphere. Very clean and service was good but food was a bit below par for me. The fried chicken sandwich and the lamb burger both were very disappointing.

This is a place I will SURELY return to! We randomly stumbled upon this place while waiting for Urban Axes and it did not disappoint. We bought chips with French onion dip and Mac and cheese - both were filling and flavorful. However my favorite thing on the menu is the Thin Lassi cocktail. It's the BEST cocktail I've ever had - looks like ice water but is bursting with so many flavors at once including mango lassi, coconut, cardamom, lime, and saffron. It was like a party in a glass leaving you wanting moOur waitress was extremely polite and tended to all our needs as well!
