Just great from start to finish. Everyone from the hostesses to the servers were very friendly and professional, not staying too long at the table but always available. After we were seated, the moment the hostess finished explaining things to us, a gentleman was there ready to serve us the first round of meat. It was immediately the best piece of steak I've had from a restaurant in years. All the sides were great, the meat was incredible. I ate so fast we were out the door exactly 1 hour after we were seated and never felt rushed. Highly recommend to anyone.

Food and service top notch. 5/5 all around. Some nice choices on the wine list but it might be time to expand that a bit.

About the restaurant

Union & Finch is an American style bistro located at 1528 West Union Street in Allentown offering lunch, dinner and brunch on weekends. The menu consists of casual fare that will include "comfort" foods along with familiar favorites with a twist. We have a seasonal rotation of select items on the menu while keeping our concept simple. Our goal is to offer quality food and drinks at reasonable prices on a daily basis with a mature sense of hospitality and playful vibe. We combine the nostalgia of a long-lost neighborhood joint with a modern bistro setting to create the area’s newest destination for relaxed, casual dining.

It was my third time at Union & Finch and it has always been a good experience. Yesterday the only complaint was the “grilled shrimp” was barely grilled/cooked. It smelled like raw shrimp when it was delivered to the table. I sent it back and it just wasn’t good. No flavor and just overall not good quality. My husband got the burger and it was a dry patty. I would say they shine for breakfast, but not the other dishes.

Everything was great. The only issue is they have a credit card limit of one per table which we learned when the check came. This should be clarified when reservations are made.
