   Quality and quantity for the price was not favorable for the restuarant. Food seems not as good as was described by reviews online. Service was good as well as atmosphere.

   Well, it was a disappointing Easter brunch. We had a 3:30pm reservation and when we arrived, we were told that the event ended at 4:00 and all the food would be taken down at that time. That had not been made clear at any point, either the website or when I called directly. Furthermore, they had reservations available all the way up until 4:00. So, we were obviously put off by this and all thoughts of a leisurely dinner with family disappeared. At $75/head, we were expecting a different experience for sure. On top of that, there was food debris all over the floor and the serving tables, the serving utensils had clearly not been cleaned or swapped out all day and it just had a messy and somewhat dirty appearance in general. Furthermore, a lot of food items were unavailable or old and unappealing. On the plus side, our waiter (and the staff in general) was great and we still had a nice time. What was available was good, but with so many outstanding restaurants in town, we will not be going back here.

   Horrible experience . Cramped space. Tried to fit too many people into a small space. No special vibe about the Easter holiday. Buffet wasn't decorated much at all. Long line to get your food. Out of clean plates. Cold food was warm and hot food was cold. Prime rib was cold, tough and tasteless. Bacon was raw. Gravies were gelatinous. Chicken was not crispy, breading falling off. Many items were almost empty. Incredibly overpriced. Obviously over promised and under delivered. The person walking around in the Easter Bunny outfit was good and so was the mimosa. The desserts were good, but very limited. Thus, the 2 stars.

   Underwhelming. Location was central and cute, don’t expect that much from the food or service.

   We went here after we got engaged! They hooked us up with some champagne and gave us plenty of space for conversation! It was a little loud but that’s expected in a space that large and open! Very fun ambiance!

   We had such a cool experience at Church & Union. The building is so unique, being an old church, and they've done a great job preserving the originality of it. The food and drinks were also delicious! We will definitely be back.

    Very cool interior and vibe. Great service from our waitperson and the bar staff. Cocktails were a little disappointing but the wine selections were great. Food was amazing. My only complaint is our reservation was at 8:15 and because the previous table would not leave we did not get our table until 8:40.
