He does this for safety as the surrounding area is rambunctious. You must bring your own drink if you are drinking alcohol. He has a set up for a small fee.

It's so wonderful to come across genuine people who are funny and kind in this world. Our server and the owner were so fun and so funny and so nice. It truly felt like visiting a friends restaurant. The vibes are homey, almost feels like a library but not quite, very cozy very comfy. Food: Tomato Mozarella, this was my two fav things in one. Tomato and burrata/mozarella, and prosciutto and melon. Delicious. 10/10. Prawns: so good, so flavorful, and I typically am not a shrimp/prawn girl. Skirt Steak: this was such a juicy and moist (sorry) steak. I don't like chimmichurri (cannot spell that omg) but it was good! The fries were also a winner. Moroccan Hen: this felt like a cookout bbq to be honest but in the best way. It's super flavorful, very smoky, and SO juicy. Drinks: watermelon marg, orange espresso cocktail, and I cannot remember the blue drinks name but all delicious. I fear this is my fav espresso martini to date. Dessserts: the Poe's nest and the Ruby & Emerald. Delicious. No notes.

It had a great drink menu and cool vibe. For actual dinner, the restaurant itself had an eclectic menu and swanky decor. The service was spotty. I had to ask for water refills 2x. Also for a group of 12, it took about 7 mins for everyone to be served food. Yes, this is a large party, so you must have several servers come bring the food when you're charging these prices. It should've been a seamless experience but we had several friends waiting on their food while others were halfway through. The food quality itself was hit or miss. The pork belly app was delicious! Crispy and tender. But the octopus was overly chewy and weird. We had 2 dishes with it and both were cooked like that, it wasn't good. The lobster poutine was delicious and went quick. Paella was okay - the shellfish was overcooked and seemingly dried up. Drinks were good and staff was friendly. Overall, there are a lot of kinks to work out. I'd like to come back but at the price point, I wish our experience was better and wish the food was more consistently good.

There is a secret black door to enter. You can make reservations however, I was unaware that reservations were needed. We waited for about 20 minutes before a table opened up.

We had a party of 7 and we pretty much had our pick of where to sit. The waitress was talking really fast and low and we kept having to ask her to repeat herself. She never slowed down OR spoke louder. Once she had our drink orders, they didn't take long to come out. I ordered the "AKA" it was tequila based and was pretty good. Everyone was pretty happy with their drinks. This is when the night turned. 4 of the 7 of us wanted to leave and head elsewhere, the waitress made ALL 7 of us pay even though the others wanted to stay and order more. She would not budge on this and seemed pretty nonchalant about it. .. all in all. Glad we found it but won't be back.

Given that it's a popular spot, especially on weekends, they're pretty strict about monitoring entrance to the pool and lounge chairs. Assuming you're staying at the Pendry, this is a lovely place to lounge poolside. Given the heatwave when I visited, I thought service might be languid (reasonably so!), but the entire service team was energetic, friendly, and attentive. They came around with ice water regularly to make sure everyone stayed hydrated; they made regular rounds to offer drinks and food; and they even delivered drinks right to the pool. Every luxury hotel pool should be so lucky as to have this team on staff. The food, too, which is also available at the pool bar, was really good! And not just pool-food good, but actually really good. I had the watermelon salad, which came in a large portion and was really refreshing with feta, oranges, and jicama. I also had the calamari, which was tender inside and nicely crispy outside. I didn't order any drinks beyond ice tea, but the folks sitting near me ordered a selection of cocktails and everyone seemed pleased with their choices.

Everyone on staff was kind and helpful with setting up pool chairs and taking drink orders. The pool itself was refreshing with a gorgeous view. Sunscreen was provided along with a water station. The carrot ginger crush was delicious and tasted more like a healthy juice than a cocktail! The food was pretty good but nothing special for the price, imo. I wish there were more gluten free options to choose from. I loved the shrimp cocktail and the house-made cocktail sauce it came with. So yummy! The chips with the guac were great and the fries were a large portion. They've become more strict about letting non-guests enjoy the pool so it wasn't too crowded and was a fairly quiet environment, with the exception of some kiddos.

One of my favorite things about this place is the fact that they let us choose where we want to sit and the window seat is always open! Another fav is their mimosas. Better than bottomless is a decent price and a decent number of juice options! The lemon ricotta pancakes are so so good! They have something for everyone on the menu. We also love their avocado toast. Service is always attentive and friendly. The ambience is nice. The music isn't too loud and the temperature is perfect.

I actually found Union Hill while planning my friend's 40th birthday dinner from another state, and from the moment I reached out, everything just flowed. I inquired about hosting a dinner and one of the owners, Matt, got back to me within a day. From there, the planning felt effortless. He answered all my questions, stayed in communication, and really helped bring the whole vision together. We had close to 30 people for the dinner in one of their private dining areas, and when I say the staff was impeccable... they were ON IT. My friend had no idea where she was going, so this was a full surprise. Once we gave the staff the green light, they were ready and immediately started accommodating everyone. Everything just flowed from there. We did family-style appetizers, which I loved because everyone got to try a little bit of everything. Everything was flavorful and came out at the perfect pace. For my entrée, I had the salmon and it was so good. And listen... I hosted the whole thing, ate there that night, AND still had leftovers to take home. That's always a win. They were also super accommodating leading up to the event. I was able to drop off the cake and cake pops the evening before, and I was even able to decorate the private dining area, which made everything feel really personal. What could have easily been a stressful experience ended up feeling seamless. The restaurant atmosphere is beautiful. The private dining area worked perfectly for our group, and they even have an upstairs outdoor area as well as a downstairs outdoor space, which I didn't get to experience this time but definitely want to the next time I go back. I'm so grateful I came across Union Hill Kitchen & Craft Bar. It made such a special occasion even better.

Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced... this is the kind of drink that reminds me why I started my little espresso martini passport in the first place. It was giving luxury, it was giving intention, it was giving I need another one immediately. For food, I started with the crudo, which was super fresh and beautifully done -- light, bright, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. Then I had the scallops, and this is where they really won me over. Perfectly cooked, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth... just one of those dishes you don't want to end. The whole experience felt elevated without being stuffy -- gorgeous waterfront vibes, amazing service, and food and drinks that actually deliver. Definitely one of my favorite spots so far in Baltimore, and 100% somewhere I'll be bringing people when I want to impress.

I highly recommend the burger, and the crab cake is made with real lump meat--not imitation!!! The bartender was very knowledgeable and offered great recommendations throughout the night.

The best deal is absolutely the Wednesday wing night - they are cheap and delicious.

That said, the service is always good. They could maybe use a few more employees on busy days, but they try their best.

Cons: -Service wasn't the best. The server taking poolside orders kept passing me. Even when she said she'll be back, she never came back. I ended up ordering at the bar. -My drink was very weak. I ordered an orange crush and feel like I paid $12 for orange juice and sprite mix. -Not sure if there was too much chlorine in the water but it severely faded my swimsuit. I'm hoping it was just a bad night because I really want to give them another try next summer for the Monday swim service.
