10 STARS!! Made arrangements to have the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding here. We had around 25 in our party, some showed up maybe 15 minutes early - and yet 240 Union was ready, and started seating them in a private room. The staff were awesome, everywhere when you wanted them, and yet somehow never intrusive or in the way. Very friendly, polite, and attentive. The food - Divine! I don't think is too strong a word. - Angus Top Sirloin, Salmon, and Chicken breast were the three options we chose for our guests to choose from - I didn't hear a single negative comment, and I didn't see any food left on a plate anywhere. The mashed potatoes received so many positive comments, its hard to believe a meal staple could garner such love (possibly from buttermilk). It's a shame I live 1000+ miles away - I will make an effort to go back when I'm in the area. read more

Ambiance: White linen table cloths and real napkins. Very clean Restaurant. We were immediately greeted by a host who led us directly to a table. Everybody including our waiter and others were helpful and prompt. Service: our waiter Kevin made the lemonade and he did a great job. We had a little discussion about lemonade. We liked Kevin a lot. Food: we shared a gem salad and a pizza. The salad was totally fresh and delicious. The pizza is made in house (I believe from scratch). It was also quite good. Why aren't more restaurants as good as this one? read more

Had a fantastic experience for Valentine's Day! Service and food were amazing. Literally both of us commented on the quality of every single item we tasted, how quickly the food came out, the quality of ingredients and the server being super attentive and giving great recommendations. They even gave my partner a rose on the way out. The 5 hour braised beef was insanely good. It's one of those dish's that you could try to make at home and it won't be as good, which is what I judge the quality of cooking on. The server commented that employees aren't allowed to order it because they kept buying it all until it ran out. I absolutely get it. The calamari was super crispy and has a great tangy Asian style sauce. We saw being delivered to another table and ordered it immediately. The fresh baked bread was some of the top quality stuff you expect at a super high end restaurant. Great stuff. The only sad part about the experience was our table. We were against a very dirty/moldy wall with two super bright lights shining down on us. The place was absolutely packed for Vday so I knew requesting a new table would be a PIA, but we didn't let it ruin our experience, but something for the restaurant can improve upon. The bill was $175 after tip for 2 entrees, 4 drinks and an appetizer. Super fair price for quality of the food and will be recommending to friends and family. Can't wait to come back, but sit at a different table. read more

The burger was SO good. Would actually go back just for that. The chicken was also amazing and the bread they give the table is perfectly fluffy. The menu is a little small, but we all found stuff we liked. What really stood out to me at this meal was the spectacular service. Our waitress was phenomenal and well as the gentleman who kept our glasses full and cleaned up after us (including the crumbs on the table). read more

Delicious food like always. Good and attentive staff and very elegant as the tradition goes. I had a couple of glasses or Riesling and the pink/red trout. Great texture and taste, I'd order it again for sure! I also had the toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert which was exceptional! read more

I've been here many times over the years and have never been disappointed. The food, service and atmosphere are amazing and are always consistent. I attended a Celebration of Life recently for a dear friend and as usual, everything was incredible. 240 Union is his and his wife's favorite restaurant, we have dined here many times so it was a befitting tribute to this legend and family man!! Finally, I sincerely recommend this restaurant!! read more

I have lived my 240 Union for quite a long time, and I know several people who have reccomended this place to me throughout the years. I finally decided to come here during their happy hour, and I was very pleased. The interior is nice, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I decided to order an appetizer off their happy hour menu, the tortilla soup, and I tried their meatloaf as well. The tortilla soup has to be one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating. My only issue with this dish was that I ate it too fast! The meatloaf was equally tasty and flavorful as well as filling. I'm upset it took me so long to come here but I'm very happy I finally did, and you can bet I will be coming back again very soon! read more

We're visiting from Nebraska and ate here for dinner this evening. I can't say enough about how good our meal was. The crab cakes were the best I've ever had. My husband had the Wagyu flank steak, I had the Rigatoncini which was a delicious play on carbonara. Both dishes were so flavorful, perfectly seasoned - hats off to the chef! Our server Jordan was delightful and we really enjoyed her. We just might have to go back before we leave! read more

Great servers, great service, great good, great people! We gather at 240 Union several times a year and always enjoy the food, service and servers. WE enjoy that they have seasonal offerings that make it even hard to choose what delicious dish to try. Thank you 240! read more

I tried 240 Union for the first time Friday night and found the experience to be delightful. Our server, Will, took great care of us. I tried the recommended mocktail (I'm pregnant) and it was not only tasty, but I really appreciated that it was served in a regular cocktail glass, which always makes me feel like I'm still at the party with everyone else. The warm focaccia bread and butter they serve to start is soooo yummy it would be easy to fill up on it. We had the calamari for a starter and while it was very good, my favorite part of the dish was the tempura jalapeños. I had the halibut special for my mains. It was good, but my husband's pistachio crusted pork chop was truly amazing. Finally, I had the chocolate tart as recommended by our waiter and it was fantastic. They either make them in house or outsource to a good bakery because it didn't taste of Cisco or Shamrock at all, as is the usual reason I skip dessert when I eat out. We'll definitely be back- my husband is looking forward to trying out their Sunday night prime rib special! read more

Food was absolutely amazing, the wagyu was bonkers and the risotto, was potentially the best I've ever, the staff was super nice.

We ate in the bar area. Food tonight was very ordinary and certainly didn't justify the cost Bartender unfriendly. Have been here many times but not a good experience tonight - will not be going back any time soon read more

Neither my friend nor I had been to 240 Union in many, many years, but we were in the neighborhood and decided to give it a try. Most restaurants that date to 1989 tend to be tired and set in the past. Not 240 Union (despite the least creative name ever)! The space looked great, the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. I remember the small shopping strip that 240 Union anchors as very old and sad. It has been completely transformed with a huge investment by the landlord into a state-of-the-art destination with a steel facade and massive stone pillars. I was shocked. The interior of the restaurant is a huge space, but nicely divided into several private rooms, a large, rectangular bar set at an angle to the left of the entrance, and a huge, permanently enclosed front porch (this may be a new feature as I don't remember it). The main dining area is broken up by a series of large, polished hardwood dividers/sculptures reminiscent of the Rocky Mountains. There is a huge open kitchen at the back of the dining room. Service was friendly and very efficient. Our entrées came out in record time although we had arrived at the peak of lunchtime and the restaurant was almost half full. I had the farfalle with lobster, sweet corn, mascarpone, lemon zest and chives. The waiter came by to grind on fresh parmesan. The portion was large. Every item was cooked to perfection and the flavors were fantastic with a delicate, delicious sauce. My friend had "chicken tetrazzini" spaghetti with criminis, peas, sherry, parmesan, and breadcrumbs. He was equally complimentary about the quality of his dish. We both took home bulging boxes of leftovers. We really enjoyed ourselves and are eager to return. Do be aware that this space is all hard surfaces and can get very noisy with a large crowd. There is a nice concrete ramp leading straight from the parking lot to the front door for those who are handicapped. Unfortunately, things deteriorated when I attempted to eat my leftovers. For some inexplicable reason, 240 Union took my beautiful plate of food and jammed it into a Chinese restaurant-style cardboard box. These boxes are not recyclable due to the coated cardboard. I ended up with a congealed block of garbage that was impossible to reheat. What are these folks thinking? There are lots of recyclable or compostable take home containers in which you can nicely lay out a fancy plate of food. I was really looking forward to my leftovers. What a disappointment. read more

We hadn't been here for a few years so we did a pre New Years Eve dinner, with a 6pm reservation. Arrived a bit early, the place was bustling but we were immediately seated, greeted, given water and a basket of bread that was almost my favorite part of the meal! Up front, the negative - so noisy, more like a bar than an upscale restaurant. For this reason alone I would not come back except for a happy hour. Food was very good, I had the chop ($33), she had crab cakes (2/$24), two salads that neither one of us were crazy about (Caesar, another, total $34). But it was not awesome or unforgettable (except that bread....). Glass of cab very reasonable $11 to my surprise and a beer, 10oz I think, $8. Her Whistle Pig was $27, that's fair. If it had a quieter, more 'upscale' and subdued environment it might have been more enjoyable, but it was like a Denny's or sports bar in that respect. 5 star service, no question on that. read more

Unexpected Gem - A Must-Visit! We flew into Denver for a concert at Red Rocks and dinner was honestly an afterthought. We found 240 Union, booked a reservation, and hoped for the best. What we got completely exceeded expectations. The food was amazing. We had the Wagyu steak and the Salmon Bowl--both were absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. But honestly, the highlight of the night was the service. You don't find hospitality like this anymore. Our server, Micah, was fantastic--super knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. He helped guide us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations and even shared some great Red Rocks tips. He made us feel truly taken care of, which made our first night in Colorado that much better. Whether you're a local or just in town for a concert or weekend trip, 240 Union is a must-try. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area! read more

This place has just fantastic food. It can sometimes be a little bit busy and a little bit loud, but it's worth it.

A little loud. When planning their next remodeling, they should incorporate some noise suppression panels in the ceiling. However, the loudness isn't enough to keep people away. It has been here for many decades... since I lived on Green Mountain back in the 90s. That says something for its staying power! In fact, in a previous visit, my girlfriend inquired if they were hiring, and the waiter politely said no. He went on to explain that people die here! Not in that sense, but in the sense that they don't leave once they get a job there.! He called over another waitress and she went on to say that she was there for 14 years and her brother was there for more than that. Then he pointed out the owner sitting at the bar, an older Gent enjoying his Empire.....even in his off hours! As for our dinner, both of our meals were excellent. I can't recall all that we had, but my son enjoyed his Salmon and I enjoyed my Flank Steak. an excellent meal!...We will return! read more

Amazing dinner here. Tara was an awesome server with great recommendations and timing. Absolutely loved the duck entree. Probably one of the best duck dishes i have had. Beautiful grilled duck breast with blueberry reduction over squash risotto. Yummy!!! read more

This is m new go-to place for a nice dinner with white table linen service, knowledgeable servers, great ambiance, and outstanding chefs. Kevin took good care of our table and helped us with menu and wine selections. I ordered the Pork Rib chop with the pistachio crust and scallion risotto which was absolutely delicious and tender and juicy. You'll regret it if you don't have it when you visit. The bread service is sooo good-warm soft focaccia seasoned just right with your own butter cup. We also ordered the Calamari and Wood Oven Roasted Cauliflower appetizers- excellent! There is a great selection of wines and some unique cocktails to try out too. We finished things off with carrot cake and finally threw in the towel. read more

The food was FANTASTIC. Absolutely incredible meal. We had the seasonal peach salad, steak and pasta dishes plus the berry cobbler. Top notch!! The issue we found was in the service of our waiter, Ryan. We watched him go over and above for all other patrons but ignore us completely. Another server had to take our drink order after 10 minutes of sitting around waiting for him to greet us (Rebecca is awesome!). He never offered drink refills, dessert menu, check. We had to ask for all those things. Overall, we were left wondering why we received such poor service when others around us were treated very well. It was not a staffing issue or the other patrons in his section would have also felt the crunch. read more

240 Union is a Lakewood are favorite. We went here for a birthday and had a satisfying meal on a cold night. The calamari tempura was what you would expect from a calamari appetizer but the fried green beans added a nice touch. The brussel sprouts appetizer was tasty. However, they were not crispy as advertised in the menu description because of how much sauce was on them. For my entree, I created my own mussels frites. I ordered the PEI mussels appetizer and a side of fries. The white wine and butter sauce was garlicky and a bit spicy. The fries were ok, but when dipped in the white wine sauce... amazing! Others at the table enjoyed their meals of the short rib, pizza, and shrimp pasta alla vodka. Overall, this is a good family spot. A bit upscale, yet traditional. read more

Great atmosphere and enjoyable independent restaurant. Food is always excellent highly recommend!

Y wife and I are regulars at this place. Great food excellent service. He pork chops are delicious.

240 Union is not only the name of this restaurant its also the address! I nice little place near the Denver Federal Center. Its fancy, but not pretentious. The service here was fast and prompt. Both my water glass and my Ice tea was always topped up. The bread that was brought out before my meal was hot fresh and soft and the butter melted on top like a freshly glazed donut. (mmmmmmmm, donuts ). The radicchio salad was fresh, crisp, and added both a surprising taste and also a vibrant color. I was intrigued with the menu for the chicken breast, which was grilled to perfection, but the star of the dish was the eggplant fries! Yes America, the humble eggplant can be fun to eat. It was sliced, breaded and fried and tasted quite delicious, I was almost tempted to order a second helping! If you find yourself in this section of Lakewood, be sure to check out 240 Union, youll be glad you did! read more

As a CO native, I don't know what took me so long to visit 240 Union. It's amazing. It's not super casual and not overly fancy, but reservations are recommended. The wait staff was extremely kind and informative, and the food was phenomenal. 240 Union uses local ingredients to keep their menu filled with new seasonal items. I visited in the late summer/fall for my birthday, and was overwhelmed with the variety of food they were offering. I got the jumbo shrimp and peach salad appetizers and scallops for my main meal. My family got a pasta dish and seafood soup/stew. We got creme brûlée for dessert, and everything was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and were in great portions. Definitely recommend for your next special dinner or if you just want to "treat yourself!" read more

Been coming here for years. Honestly had a very salty meal here years ago and hadn't been back for a while. My mother-in-law loves this restaurant so been coming back several times now and each meal is excellent. Miss the bread sticks but the bread they are serving now is soft and crusty and delicious. My husband got the meatloaf and loved it. I got the shrimp cocktail, best I've ever had. I got the Halibut. Excellent and requested extra lemon sauce (needed it), it was amazing! We had the Blueberry Lemon Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream and even though we were stuffed, finished that too. The service is always spot on. Highly recommend! read more
