Reviews
Dined at Union League for an anniversary dinner. Amazing food and top notch service in a beautiful space. Everything was fantastic apart from the petit fours (which looked great but were a bit underwhelming).
Looking forward to visiting again to try their tasting menu.
We visited Union League Cafe and were utterly captivated. What an amazing place! Our only hiccup was the initial challenge in locating the front door. Once inside, everything else was simply outstanding. The wait staff impressed us with their creativity, fun attitude, knowledge, and willingness to assist. The food was celestial. In particular, the soufflé surpassed any we've had in Paris, and the innovative orange twist was a delightful surprise. The atmosphere transported us back in time; the fireplace and the expansive dining hall exuded genuine old-world charm. Overall, this is a phenomenal destination for anyone seeking exceptional French cuisine.
The food was v. excellent in quality, preparation, and presentation; they also had vegetarian and vegan options that were just as well done as the omnivore-focused dishes. The Mushroom Tart and the Butternut Squash Ravioli were fantastic.
Beautiful ambience and decor! Paintings are so beautiful. Food was amazing -finding it hard to find words to describe ! Cocktails are one of the best I have had! Dessert was unbelievably delicious. Highly recommend for fine dining experience.
Had a spectacular meal here. Everything was first class and delicious. Yes, a bit pricey, but worth it.
My husband booked this for our 9th anniversary. The stained glass & architectural elements of the dining room are beautiful. The food was great, we'll have to come back near the end of the year to try the chef 5 course menu with wine pairing!
We stayed with the duck confit & drinks, then had the duck breast & swordfish entrées, then finished with a strawberry apricot souffle & chocolate hazelnut creme cake with French press. They even brought an extra blueberry dessert & anniversary message for us.
The place was very clean, including the restrooms. Between the dining room & restroom is the bar, which is a lively cherry wood bar, well stocked with chairs for sitting.
We came here for a birthday dinner and we all enjoyed our meal. The cocktails were refined and the appertizers and mains were very flavorful. I was especially looking forward to the dessert and was not disappointed! The souffle was like eating a cloud and the eclair was super tasty. Yes, it is pricey, but this is a great place for a special occasion.
My dining experience at Union League Cafe is now my favorite dining experience of my life yet! ("Yet" is one of my favorite words. Why limit one's experiences to "best ever"?)
I started with the endive salad with whipped Brie and a sherry vinaigrette. It was a very creative salad and as delicious as it was beautifully presented. For my main course I had the Homard Aux Vin Jaune. If there's a heaven, I hope it's on the menu! If plating is an art form, I was served an edible masterpiece ! My server Julie is clearly an expert and I felt like a special guest throughout the meal. There are not enough superlatives to describe this fabulous cafe!
