    All together, things were great. Service was great. Very attentive without being overly so. Great attitude from the waitstaff. Food was very good. Appetizers were delicious and of a good value. Mains were a little on the smaller side for the price, but of good quality. Maybe consider including a side of rice or something with the fish tacos meal. The two tacos were very tasty, but not exactly filling. Same goes for the other items on the ‘hand-helds’ menu. Large plates were good, but again, could do with a little more substance on the plate to compliment the meal. A couple more options on the menu for vegan/vegetarian diners would be very much appreciated. Desserts were awesome. Overall, a good experience. Will be back.

    Seated quickly and where we requested. Cocktails and food were excellent! Scallop app was SO flavorful. They were extremely busy but bar staff was moving really fast. Our server was just a little “cooler” than we are used to in the tavern. But service was good overall and I’ll chalk it up to maybe she had something personal going on. Other bar staff were all warm and friendly, even amidst the organized chaos of the incredibly busy night. We love the Tavern and I’m sure it will continue to to be our favorite dinner 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.

    it was a wonderful evening. The food, service and atmosphere was just excellent! We had a big party and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate and everyone was professional and personable and food was absolutely delicious. We have several family members who have gluten issues and majority of dishes can be made to accommodate which is amazing at an Italian restaurant. I can't say enough, it was a wonderful night had by all! Thank you, Mike's Italian Kitchen!
