Elegant or casual – Simply the best. From the coats and ties to jeans they all fit in here. Service impeccable. No reservations,then eat at the bar. The food extraordinary.
past its prime – with so many choices it is hard to believe this restaurant still gets rave reviews. Only thing best about Union Square is the negative attitude of the wait staff. Food far from wonderful.
Danny Meyer is my hero! – For people that call Union Square Carfe "boring" or "dull" I suspect that they are more interested in a trendy scene than an incredible dining experience. Union Square Cafe is the PARADIGM of good service. I'm so comfortable and at home there. The food is delicious (it never claimed to be Jean Georges) and an incredible value for the money. And the wine list is OUT OF THIS WORLD--small, but comprehensive and extremely reasonably priced. I once saw a bottle of wine priced at $230 on USC's menu that w... read more
Union connection – Good place to meet friends. Not the greatest food bu heck it is in Union Square. Loud spot but good people watching.
boring – This place is fine and certainly doesn't deserves the praise of "one of the best restaurants around." The menu is dull-American and there plenty of better places to go if you want a $60 dinner.
A great experience – We have dined at great reataurants around the world, many in NYC. This is amongst the best. The service and staff are just a delight. When questioning our server about a certain dish, she kindly brought over the Union Sq. Cafe recipe book so that I could copy the ingredients! The food is eclectic and well executed. After so many years, it still is a treat to dine there.
Disappointed – I was disappointed in this restaurant. The service was pretty bad (waiter forgot drinks, kept us waiting forever between courses and for the bill), and the atmosphere was nothing special. It would be a good place to bring your parents but is not great for a date. The food was, however, very good. I had a fantastic tomato salad and some delicious tuna. I love the fact that a lot of the shopping is done at the greenmarket across the street. Nice enough restaurant, but I can't see why it's Zagat's "Most Popular R... read more
This place has a great atmosphere, and if you request a table, it can be great for large groups. They sat about 12 of us at a huge round table in a separate room and we had a blast. The bar is filled with hot, well dressed guys... but the waitresses looked like they were all dressed to go clubbing and didnt provide very good service.
Believe the Hype. – It would be hard for any restaurant as heralded as Union Square Cafe to live up to its monumental reputation. Gladly, though, USC delivers in spades. We were seated immediately, and began a wonderful dining experience that was never hurried by brusque staff. On the contrary, USC's sterling rep is earned as much by the incredible wait-staff as by the delicious food. Expensive, yes, but worth every penny.
