Best of the Best! – I had the chance to eat there twice in the past few weeks...great experience both times! Service was among the best in the city, attentive, kind, friendly and HELPFUL!!! Anticipated the needs of the guests, and never once had to ask for anything because it showed automatically. Food flavors were wonderfully tasty and well presented. Friends raved about the lobster shepard's pie, I LOVED the appetizer of roasted corn and proscuitto...save room for dessert...you'll want to linger in this most wonderful atmo... read more
Wonderful Lunch Experience – I came to Union Square Cafe for a co-workers birthday luncheon and was extremely impressed. The high ceilings and table setup add to a very nice ambience. Our food was delicious! Try the calamari! The best part was the service. Our waitress was around just enough. When ordering someone casually said to the birthday girl that she should go ahead and order anything on her special day. The waitress made a mental note about it and brought out a special dessert without being asked. On the house! It wa... read more
Never disappointed – Awesome food and professional service; I have been there several times, but I have never been disappointed. They have a great wine list, and the waiting staff really know their dishes. If you aren't too sure what to order, they are more than ready to give you great recommendations.
Awesome – There is a reason why this place has been #1 or #2 in Zagat's the past few years in popularity. USQ was one of the best dining experiences I have had in NY and I have been to many of the big boys (Le Cirque, River Cafe, Town, etc.) Sure it took me a little while to be seated but the place was packed on a Saturday afternoon before show time. I had an expertly made (if pricey) T&T at the bar and waited to be seated. Once seated, the service was excellent and every single item ordered was absolutely incredible. Anyone... read more
Melt in your mouth – As I entered the restaurant and paused to look at the menu, another patron said don't bother looking, everything is wonderful. It was a joy to be greeted by such friendly, helpful staff, right down to the coat check girl. The waiter was also friendly and helpful with my menu selections. The butternut squash ravioli melted in my mouth. The lamb chops, although thin, were the best I've ever had. The price / value is unbelievable for NYC. I'm a believer!
sub-par. – High prices for poor quality food and extremely poor service-- we were really disappointed, given the reviews. But-- the waiter was a handsome guy, and the dining room is a handsome dining room, so if you care very much about appearances and not at all about what you're eating, this is the place for you. If you care even a little bit about the food, your money could be better spent almost anywhere.
Unimaginative – This place is ok, but for the price the cuisine is somewhat boring. I doubt that this is the place for a hamburger or tuna sandwich, although expensive versions of these are on the lunch menu. My seafood was a bit too salty and the desserts were decent, like the warm banana tart, but nothing to rave about. The wine list is good.
Comfortable – Not the greatest restaurant in town, but certainly in the top percentile. Staff are lovely if a bit green and or jaded (no middle ground that I've seen). Food is always consistent, comfort oriented and the wine list is superb. Crowd can be a bit of a pain (a lot of self importance in the air). I prefer to sit at the bar as I don't have to listen to loud, boring conversations from the next table who always seem to be friends of the owner. Def a place I return to from time to time, but not as often as I could.
Mmm. – Though pricey, you can't beat the Union Square Cafe for a classy lunch. Try the tuna burger - it's incredible.
