Wow..what an amazing new restaurant find! Rockefellers Kitchen did not disappoint. We were able to…read moreget a table for a party of four with no issue, and from start to finish the experience was excellent. The waitress and entire staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. To top it off, there was a young guy singing Frank Sinatra classics in the middle of the week, which gave the place such a fun and classy vibe. For appetizers, we tried the wonton nachos, which were absolutely delicious. The meatballs and mozzarella were good, though a bit heavier on the bread than I prefer. Dinner was outstanding across the board. We ordered the Chicken Caesar salad, hamburger, crab cakes, and the Rockefeller French dip, and every single dish was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The restaurant itself is trendy, with an amazing bar and great atmosphere. I highly recommend checking this place out -- we'll definitely be back!

The old back room had been transformed into an official party room with a separate bar and restroom and closed off with decorative barn doors. The bar area offers ample seating, with the dining area ( offering table service) behind the bar wall overlooking the main stage. Greeted warmly greeted when we first entered with only a five minute wait ( we had a reservation and I highly recommend making one). Again warmly welcomed by our server Nicole who provided an outstanding service throughout the evening. Nicole was friendly, engaging and offered excellent dinner and drink suggestions. Live music was on tap on this Friday evening which did make the dining room rather loud for holding table conversations but worth the live music being played that evening. The cocktail menu offers a good and varied selection of mixed drinks and wine and the mixed drinks are both flavorful and expertly presented. I would highly recommend both the Flappers Folly ( a refreshing floral mix) and the Espresso Martini drinks. Started off with the hot honey & bacon brussel sprout appetizers which were perfectly flavored with the honey and bacon bits over crispy brussel sprouts. All main dish items were very good. The Old Sport Burgers were juicy, flavorful and all cooked to perfection served with crispy string French fries. The French Dip Au Jus was well seasoned and not to dry with a flavorful au jus. I would highly recommend the Gatsby Grain dish bowel. Shredded chicken served over jasmine rice and vegetables was outstanding and served with a side salad. Restaurant manager Cathy was very visible in the dining room checking in with every table and asking for feedback which you don't see very often nowadays. Even got a personal tour of the new party room ( looking for a location for a future event). Overall good food reasonably priced , excellent service and nice decorum with live music offered on the weekends. A great place to grab a drink and listen to music while catching a great burger or the Gatsby Grain dish bowel . You won't be disappointed.

This was my dinner for my birthday this year with my fiancé and I was glad I mentioned it, because…read moreapparently she had been here before for dinner and loved it, and this was my first time. A really intimate place, with probably like 15 tables max inside, and a little bar that can sit also about the same amount of people, but still looks new and fresh, and also be on the lookout because when you're driving the place sneaks up on you. The friendliest service, Lauren who seated us and served us was truly genuine, and I told her I really appreciate that as most restaurants don't have that sense of personal customer service, actually noticeable and appreciated. The food was also really good, the dip was flavorful, could be a little warmer but still very good, the chips were next level, and this was a huge hit. The calamari was lightly breaded, and also I do appreciate the two sauces to choose from when dipping, either Kung Pao or Marinara. I got the Pastrami Rub Tuna over Scallion Mash, and when I first looked at it I thought the fish piece was a bit small, but after eating it, it was the perfect size, and the mash was delicious, and the Wasabi Sauce to dip the fish really made the dish Pop. Drinks were okay, started with a kick and boozy but finished a bit watery for my first one, the second one I had with Mescal was a 10/10 though. This place needs attention, and the fact that it is still pretty low key and food influencers haven't descended to blow up it's spot is awesome.

Great service and love the ambience and vibe…read more I wish I had ordered the burger. I ordered the pizza with vodka sauce which had meatballs, prosciutto and crispy onions. Nice flavor but I did not like the crust. A little too doughy for me. The cauliflower app with spinach hummus was tasty. My girlfriend had the onion soup which looked pretty thick but she's had it before and presumably loved it. My other friend is a regular and is a raving fan. So I was looking forward to it. She had the pizza with the whipped ricotta and Zuchinni. She enjoyed it but was missing an app that was removed, something with blueberries. She said on paper, it didn't sound appetizing but it's a favorite of hers. All around, great experience. Next time I'm going to try a burger.

I'm back and better than before…read more We started with the spinach and artichoke dip, which was creamy, rich, and served with perfectly crisp chips. The shishito peppers were blistered just right with great flavor and a little kick. Simple, but done well. The smash burger was the standout. Cooked perfectly with a great sear, juicy inside, and topped with melty cheese and pickles that balanced everything. Add the truffle fries and it was game over. Crispy, flavorful, and generously seasoned. The Greek salad was fresh and bright, with good quality feta and olives. A solid, refreshing balance to the heavier dishes. Service was exceptional. Attentive without hovering. The decor is warm and stylish, great energy without being too loud.

The free bread is good and they did give us more when we asked for it. It also came with some olives which my husband loved. The corn muffins were also great. The mojito was only mediocre and the Guinness ok. The filet mignon and branzino and accompaniments were very good quality, with the steak and fish perfectly cooked as we ordered them. The sauces though were bland and uninteresting. The lava fudge cake didn't have real fudge and the cake tasted stale. The ambiance was very nice though and the seating comfortable with booths and comfortable chairs. Overall fun nicely decorated spot but don't think I'd go again.

Between the warm, cozy atmosphere and a live band playing, it felt festive without being chaotic. It's exactly what you want during the holidays. We went full "let's share everything" mode, starting with the Wood-Fired Artichoke-Spinach Dip Pizzetta, and wow. Spinach, artichokes, béchamel, shaved parm, mozzarella, garlic dressing, and baby arugula all working together in perfect harmony. Easy 10/10. I'm still thinking about it and already planning my next visit just to order it again. Next up was the crab rangoon dip, which was rich, indulgent, and dangerously good. Followed by the beer cheese jumbo pretzel. They wee soft, salty, and exactly what you want alongside drinks. Zero regrets. We wrapped things up with the Kung Pao Cauliflower Bites, and they were such a pleasant surprise. The tempura cauliflower stayed crispy, the General Tso's-style sauce had just the right balance of sweet and heat, and the cashews, sesame seeds, and scallions added great texture. Drink-wise, we shared a bottle of wine from their solid selection, but I also have to shout out their massive cocktail menu, so many options that I'll definitely be back to explore it properly next time. The cherry on top? We made our reservation on Yelp . Between the food, drinks, live music, and overall atmosphere, Husk and Vine was a total win for a night out. Can't wait to return!

We arrived about an hour prior to closing, there were still plenty of people dining.

He made sure to tell us about the restaurants charitable donation program (which I feel makes me want to support this business even more) as it neared closing time - we told Patrick we would hurry up - he told us take our time and not to feel rushed. Ok the food, was so good and the portions were filling. This will for sure be on my rotation

To finish, we had the brownie dessert with homemade gelato along with martinis, which was the perfect ending to the meal. We would highly recommend The Union and will definitely be back!

After a great start, the Union may have jumped the shark. Not happy to write this review but after…read moretwo visits over the last few months that both missed the mark, it's time. Other reviews are correct - they don't have pacing down. They want to turn the table over and you really feel it. If you don't want to feel rushed book a weekend table at 8pm or after, otherwise you bet your bootie they have that table committed right behind you. Appetizers arrive before drinks, entrees arrive before you've finished your appetizer. Not a very luxurious feel to the experience. Last visit the biggest flaw was that I ordered a filet, which they serve with a peppercorn sauce and some onion rings. The sauce and rings were good. What was completely inexcusable was that they attempted to substitute the filet with a Picanha steak, which is a cheaper and tougher cut. Absolute BS. If you order the Picanha (cheaper) it's prepared differently, which means they clearly substituted the beef in my dish because it was made with the filet's sauce and onion rings accompaniment. Just note, since it's become quite popular it can get loud in here during dinner. Not a negative per se if you like an energetic dining room, but it's no longer a place to grab an intimate date night meal anymore.

The food was just okay for the 1+ hour wait that we had for Saturday brunch. But the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and they do let you track your place on the waitlist, which is helpful. We ordered a variety of brunch and lunch items as well as a dessert. The benedict was underseasoned. The homemade biscuits were the best part of that dish. The fish sandwich was a good size for the price. The lobster roll was not worth it for $43. We chose a cinnamon sugar waffle with three scoops of ice cream on top for dessert and that was the best thing we had. Delicious, sugary and a huge portion for just $12.50. Service was good but it was so hard to hear our server. The restaurant is booming with noise; you definitely have to shout to hear your server and also your meal companions. I probably wouldn't return but I think it's worth it to visit this restaurant once, and maybe don't make our mistake. I recommend going during an off-peak day.
