   We had reservations there as we were going to a show across the street. We opted to sit at bar. We arrived at 5 pm and we noticed the bartender was overwhelmed. We got our drinks fairly quickly but we were kind of lost in the shuffle and our food order was taken a long time after we sat down. We finished our meal at 645. Luckily the venue is across the street. We felt do bad for the bartender as she was so busy and barely keeping up. We were sure to tip her nicely as she deserved it. Need two bartenders working on nights there is a show. My daughter had sirloin and loved it. I had harvest salad , it was decent buy too many greens, it could have used more feta, etc. Overall it was ok, I’d be willing to try again.

   A group of us women were going out for dinner and then to see a comedian across the street. Our waitress was very nice and even though very busy, took time to take a couple of pictures of us. We shared meals and salads and had drinks. The food was excellent and we had a great time! Happy with being able to get a reservation in advance and with the service!

   Very nice, classy decor. Could have used just a little more light in the dining room, though. My companion found it somewhat difficult to read the menu. The food and drinks were very good, if a little pricy. The service was excellent! We would eat there again to celebrate a special occasion.

   The venue was gorgeous and trendy, disappointed by the quality of the food and drinks they were consistently meh, thus the 3 stars. Meatball and oyster app were ok-- charred lemon with raw oyster was not ideal it lent off taste to them I askedd to swap for new and it was fine. NY strip Steak was ok, overcooked for med rare. Risotto side undercooked needed few more minutes.

   Great salmon dish! All food is awesome. Parking is a problem as the restaurant is located downtown, but the food is worth it. Also, the martinis are amazing.

   Scallops had a funny taste, would not recommend them. Pizza was ok but not great. A bit expensive given the quality of food.

   Buffalo Chicken wings were amazing. Very flavorful and tender. I had the salmon- maybe a little overcooked but tasty. The sauce was a little heavy for my taste but others might like it. Sides were great. Husband had the Chicken Franchese- said it was perfect. Two glasses of Cabernet rounded out the meal. We were seated at a cozy table in the back. Dining room had nice spacing between parties. Our table was near a window and there was a cold draft but husband switched with me and didn’t mind. It was chilly! Some type of draft protectors might be something the owner could consider for cold winter days. Overall, very nice evening and would recommend. Shout out to our server, Sarah- just the right amount of attentiveness but had lots of privacy.

   I recently had the pleasure of celebrating a girls' Valentine's dinner at Public Union House on Saturday night, February 1st, at 6 PM, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! We all decided to indulge in the sea scallops with mushroom risotto, and let me tell you, it was an incredible choice. The scallops were cooked to perfection—tender and full of flavor—paired beautifully with the creamy, savory mushroom risotto that complemented the dish flawlessly. For dessert, we couldn't resist the crème brûlée, which was the perfect sweet ending to our meal. It had that delightful crackly caramel top with a rich custard underneath that just melted in our mouths. The highlight of the evening, aside from the delicious food, was the impeccable service. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, making sure that our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed. She was super accommodating and truly made our dinner feel special, going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable night. Overall, I can't recommend Public Union House enough. The combination of delectable food and outstanding service guarantees that we will definitely be back for dinner again. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy a lovely meal, this is the spot!

    This space has been a number of restaurants over the years and Union has solidified itself as the best of the bunch. We had a reservation and were immediately seated. The dining areas are isolated from the bar by high glass walls which provide a nice separation. The inside maintains the old bank charm, while being updated for a pleasant dining experience. Unfortunately we had tickets for a show in Boston and didn't have time to eat anything but bread and a quick snack; we didn't realize the time and had a to make a choice. When we informed our server about the mix up she promptly cashed us out and we were on our way. We're really looking forward to getting the full experience from this establishment but it's worth rolling the dice on if you've never been.
