This is definitely one of my favorite Cunningham restaurants. I love that they change with the seasons and the food is always top notch. We love to get a cocktail first and ask the bartender to come up with something on their own and they don't back down from the challenge. The space is trendy and comfortable and we've always had great service. They also have a great selection of craft beer and wine.
Loved it, a new favorite for us! We went to celebrate our anniversary, and the reservation was easy to make. The ambiance is lively but still private, very cool bar area with tons of seating and very comfortable looking bar seats. We had the chef's choice charcuterie, shrimp and grits and the lamb shank and let me tell you, it was all delicious! The shrimp and grits is one of my favorite dishes I've had at any restaurant, I cannot recommend it enough. Great service, and the drinks were refreshing and interesting! I had the "Nerf Herder" cocktail and my boyfriend had the "You want a peach of me?". Both we would order again. One of our new favorite restaurants, we will most definitely be back!
Union 50 is outstanding! We got there at the end of a Friday night close to 10pm. All the staff were pleasant and gracious. Our waiter, Brandon, was awesome! We had the tomahawk pork chop and the hallibut oscar special. The Pool Party cocktail was deliciously fruity. I wanted more of the tomato & cheese appetizer - so fresh and yummy
I went with my daughter during Devour, and we had a blast! I love Devour and attempt to try at least one new restaurant every time. As many restaurants as I've tried, I have to say this is one of, if not my best Devour experience. My fish was so delicious, and even the side was a perfect match. My daughter's steak was slightly overcooked for what we ordered, but it was so tender that she loved it anyway. Our appetizers were delicious although the salad was only good, while my daughter's choice was fantastic. And the desserts were also amazing! We will definitely be back even without Devour because there were so many things on the regular menu that we wanted to try. I definitely suggest this as a great date night spot!
My husband and I are HUGE fans of Union 50. Possibly our favorite restaurant in the city. We ordered the Lamb Shank and the Duck.. WOW. incredible flavors, incredible atmosphere, AND incredible company we ended up sitting at the bar and had a blast with those we sat near. Also manager & bartender Jay is the best in city. Thanks Jay for being so great!
To say I was impressed would be a horrendous understatement. I had the best mussels of my life in central Indiana. I was thrilled with nearly every facet of my dining experience. Our server, Cameron, was exceptional—attentive, helpful, fun. The food was spectacular and understated. Exactly what a brasserie is supposed to be. I had a Sage of Enlightenment and it was a refined and exciting. My wife’s sticky wings were a brilliant. The fries were incredible. This is a must-try establishment!
I’ve come here for a number of our special occasion dinners and with family, it never disappoints. Our waiters have a been excellent and eligible about the menu, and then helping prepare a great dinner experience from ordering suggestions to timing of entrées brought out. Definitely recommend trying union 50, all of the meals we have had were fantastic.
This modern New American remains one of our preferred spots on Mass Ave and one of the brighter stars from the Cunningham Restaurant Group constellation of restaurants. The menu doesn't turn over as quickly as some of the others, but in this case it speaks to the strength of the kitchen's repertoire rather than a lack of creativity. Vegetarian options: Decent number of vegetarian options - the mushrooms with grilled tofu instead of potato bacon terrine was even better than expected. Parking: On street parking or spots along Mass Ave are plentiful but competition for it is fierce during high traffic times.
I waited too long to write this review, so I cannot go into much detail. The French Fries were great. So was the steak. I want to go back and get more food from this excellent restaurant. I highly recommend Union 50.
Very unique spins on classic dishes! I’ve dined at Union 50 four times and have tried many of the dishes. Small/Medium Plates: cheese board 9/10 but still overpriced, wood fired tomatoes + goat cheese 6/10, bone marrow 10/10, Caesar Salad 7/10 expect unique, Kimchi Meatloaf 8/10 tomato is very overwhelming. THE FRENCH FRIES ARE PERFECT— order the duck + rosemary and pair with garlic aoli. Large plates: Duck Duck 10/10 YUM, the duck confit + sweet potato is addictive, Lamb Shank 10/10, Roasted Half Chicken 6/10 not notable or flavorful. Everything was good, even the foods with lower ratings! Anything below an 8, I would not order again.
