Such a nice new swanky place! We just got our pretty drinks and appetizers, but they were all really good! Our service by Russell was impeccable— it’s probably the best I’ve received at a restaurant in Houston. I’ll definitely be coming back here!

Great food & good service. Unfortunately a large very demanding group got seated right next to us shortly after we arrived. As a result our waiter became a little less attentive to our table & seemed to be overwhelmed trying to deal with the large group. Service could have been better but I will definitely go back. Have been there several times & it has always been good. Burrata & tomato salad is always delicious.

As always, the food and service at Union Kitchen were amazing. We enjoyed a wonderful time together with long time friends who don't get to see each other as often as we'd like. The round table allowed for wonderful sharing of stories while enjoying a delicious meal. The noise level was low which made it so much easier to hear.
