About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for fine wines

The Union Bank—affectionately known as "The UB" to locals—is a unique dining destination in the heart of Orange. With its rich heritage charm, it offers a variety of spaces to explore and enjoy.

At the Schoolhouse Restaurant, our flagship dining space, we take all bookings. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, our stunning courtyard connects all areas and offers the perfect casual setting. While we don’t take bookings for the courtyard, you’re welcome to request it in your booking notes, and if the weather cooperates, we’ll be happy to seat you outside!

For group dining, The UB offers several private spaces, ideal for gatherings of 8 to 40 people. Whether you're hosting a business meeting or celebrating a special occasion, we have the perfect setting for you.

No matter the event, The UB has you covered!

Excellent food with an outstanding wine list. Croquettes and tuna crudo were fabulous. Pork neck was superb…sous vide and then smoked on grill…possibly the best pork neck we’ve ever had! A beautiful room and staff led by a couple who know excellent food. Orange is fortunate to have a restaurant like this. Outstanding!!

Fabulous good! Magical sitting in the courtyard on a balmy evening. Drinks expensive. Long wait between entree and main but they were very busy! Excellent service.

Excellent food, wine not as good value. Food delivered promptly. We are outside which was very pleasant. Music was a little loud and distracting. Why have it at all?
