The Union House

Been here several times, usually for a special occasion.Made 6:30 reservations on a Thursday night. They weren't that busy, and we sat at the bar, waiting for our other guests. Ordered a couple of specialty cocktails (Old Fashioned and Pisco Pear Sour). We got to see the bartender making them with great attention and artistry. They were both excellent. The bar area and dining room have a nice supper club feel to it. It's upscale but not stodgy. There are plenty of different areas to sit, the tables are well spaced and the noise level is decent. After getting settled in were able to take our time ordering. The server did a great job, explaining the specials and answering our questions. We started with the Mushroom Tart appetizer. While waiting, we got a basket of bread. It was amazing. Warm thorough and crust was excellent. The appetizer came out in good time, nice portion, flaky crust, and perfect temperature. A bit hit with the group.The entrees including: Blue Crab Special, the Red Deer Special, Scallops and Short Rib. Everything was the perfect temperatures, nice size portions and nicely seasoned. The Red Deer Special was so good, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Had just enough room, so we all shared the Carrot Cake. Moist, with a generous amount of frosting, and several candies carrots. Just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. Overall, another excellent meal. The atmosphere, service and food quality were all top notch. We will be back.

Stepping into this unassuming old building was a delightful surprise. The dining room, with its dim lighting and refined atmosphere, exudes a level of elegance that is completely unexpected from the exterior. The service was outstanding--our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond by accommodating my request to pair salmon with the carrot risotto I was eager to try. Every dish we tasted was absolutely divine. To top it all off, the kitchen surprised us with a special birthday dessert that was as delicious as the rest of the meal. A truly memorable dining experience!

First off I have been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile.... I made a reservation a week ahead of time. When we got to the restaurant we were sat immediately. This place is very small so the bar area fills up quickly! I ordered Prosecco and my husband ordered an old fashioned. The old fashioned was strong but not muddled. To eat I had the 8 oz filet ($60) with mashed potatoes and lobster bisque. The lobster bisque was amazing. The steak, which I ordered medium, came medium rare basically. I have a fear of sending steaks back so I didn't send it back. It was still mooing though. My husband's tbone ($68) was not good. He said there was a ton of fat on it. He had the blue cheese on top and said it was too much. There were no desserts that looked good so we didn't order any. I will not eat here again. For four people our bill was $400. I can go to 5 o'clock steakhouse or carnevore and get a better meal for around the same price.

This place is delicious! It is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary. You feel luxurious being here! They make a mean old fashion to start but also have a great wine list. The potato options are also all good! The special side was macaroni and cheese and that was out of this world gooey goodness. My steak was done perfectly! Can't wait to wine and dine here again!

great food, great cocktails, friendly service and a wonderful setting made our dinner with friends a five star dinner! we selected a variety of menu items ranging from soups and salads to nightly specials, which was an antelope burger to the short rib entree. my only regret is that we aren't staying in town longer so we could visit this gem a second time!

We went to Union House in Genesee for dinner and I had made a reservation using open table, but the Union House in Genesee didn't have the reservation. It turns out that there's more than one Union House so you have to make sure which restaurant you're reserving the table. Even though our reservation didn't exist they accommodated the 2 of us and the food was superb once again.The potato puree was the best that I have ever tasted, and both proteins were cooked to perfection. Yes, we would order them again, because that's really the best question regarding any restaurants food, in my opinion.

My husband and I visited last night for one of our first date nights out and it was such a lovely experience. We arrived ahead of our reservation so we grabbed a seat at the bar and had some cocktails. I tried the Love Potion cocktail first and it was very refreshing. Then I switched to a dirty martini and it was served in an aluminum glass - a very nice touch. My husband tried a couple bourbons and was very impressed with the spirits selection overall. The bartenders were very hospitable and seemed very knowledgeable as well. Once we sat for dinner we started out with the Lobster Rolls appetizer and the Mushroom Tart. WOW these were both SO good. The Lobster Rolls were the perfect lobster mix to bread ratio and packed so much flavor. The Mushroom Tart was also extremely flavorful. We loved both appetizers. Then we split a main entree, the Braised Short Ribs with an extra veggie on the side - broccolini. This was incredibly rich without being too much or too salty which can happen with this type of dish. We were too stuffed for dessert, but the options sounded amazing and will definitely have to same room so we can try next time. We loved our time at the Union House and definitely recommend it as a great date night spot, celebrations or just a nice evening out! Thank you Union House!

Food was good. Service was beyond excellent. Went there for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. Get the kangaroo if they have it

Delicious food and fantastic service. First time trying beef carpaccio, and it was outstanding! I can't wait to go back just for that. Prices are a little high, but a good option for special occasions.

For those of you who have been reading my reviews, you might already know that 3 years ago I had moved my 86 year old father up here to MKE from St. Louis. I'm a vegetarian and he is a dedicated steak lover. And, being from Missouri, he is rather opinionated about what a good steak should be. I've taken him all over the area in search of a cut of meat that would fit his elevated standards. Even though he has been happy at a few places he had never commented upon the steak to the degree he did after our first dinner at The Union House. The place is in a historic olde tymey depot area in a 19th century building. We found ourselves back in time. The service was excellent and the place was relatively quiet for a Thursday. Anyhow, back to the good part. My father said to me, "Damn, that might have been the best steak I've had." I asked him if he meant since moving to Wisconsin but he corrected me. "No, ever." He had the center cut Angus filet with peppercorns inserted. Dan, the chef and GM came by during our second visit the following week to talk to us. He was really gracious and offered some off the menu vegetarian dishes he could prepare for me. That sort of customer service coupled with outstanding food is magic. So, huzzah! I found a new place we love. Thank you, Union House! You've made my hard-to-please father jubilant. And, that makes me happy. Five stars happy.
