The team provided absolutely world class service! We were there to celebrate a friend’s 17 years in NYC anniversary and wondered what could possibly go right if we book at Union Square Cafe. But Ethan, Ian, Kaitlin and Craig went above and beyond to make our meal unforgettable!

My husband and I have dined here several times and left content. We most recently dined here with our 14 month old to celebrate his first haircut. It was a splurge – 28oz tomahawk, creamed spinach, half a lobster, Caesar salad, ash baked beets, beef tallow fries, two desserts, and two mocktails… worth every penny! Their menu looked elevated and different from our previous visit. We left very happy. Our baby enjoyed the creamed spinach and the steak. We’ll be back very soon.

    The service was second to none. The team of servers worked like a well oiled machine. The food was absolutely delicious as well. We will definitely eat there again on our next trip to NYC.
