Union Square Cafe New York Reviews from The Last Year
Awesome atmosphere and decorum
I was blown away. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with an awesome atmosphere and exquisite interiors that set the perfect tone for the evening. The attention to detail in the decor and ambiance was truly impressive.
👍🏻
The Restaurants' food, drinks, dinning layout and overall atmosphere was awesome.
Best dining experience of my life.
Angie, Rachel, Scott, Gabe, Sumiah, Julie, and Danny, thank you so much for making my experience the best. The food was to die for, and the location was perfect. I have never had a better pork chop, or a better apple cake, surpassing even my own recipe. I came on my own, and have never had a better experience eating by myself. But I was given a great seat, and was able to watch restaurant operations. Everyone there is kind, and they treat you with respect no matter what. I love it here so much, and wish that I lived there so that I could eat there more frequently.
Food was mediocre.
Fish was dry and pasta lacked salt. The interior is beautiful and the place is an institution but left disappointed.
17th birthday celebration on point!
The staff at Union Square Cafe made my daughters 17th birthday celebration memorable. The food & service was excellent. They even prepared a special menu with 17th birthday celebration printed! I booked our reservation here due to a travel blog’s notation that they’re the best restaurant in all of NY state. They did not disappoint! Thank you Union Square Cafe!
Three friends and I went for dinner recently, and we all
Three friends and I went for dinner recently, and we all agreed we'd be happy to go back, although we're not planning our next visit. We had four appetizers, three entrees, two desserts, a $50-$60 caviar special, and some drinks. The total, with a 20% tip, came to about $510 (about $125/person). Food was good overall. The broccoli appetizer the apple cake dessert were highlights. Unfortunately, some of the dishes, like the fusilli al funghi and the mille-feuille weren't flavorful, and I'd suggest avoiding them. The atmosphere and the service were friendly and lively.
Predictable Excellence!
We've been fans practically since they opened, when I didn't have a single gray hair! Wanted lunch, it was late, but we headed to our go-to place. No disappointments except they didn't have the cod/potato croquettes which were on their online menu. My wife settled for their excellent chips and a salad. My burger was as always, fantastic.
Simply delicious! The cafe had such a wonderful ambiance
Simply delicious! The cafe had such a wonderful ambiance and food was out of this word. We started with the bar nuts and chips. They were so flavorful and tasty. We also had the ravioli and a few other pastas. Sooo good. But the pork takes the cake. It was maybe the best piece of meat I've ever had...seriously. And then we had cake. Apple cake. It was a amazing.
My opinion, best restaurant I've been to.
Go to spot for perfect night. I've never seen such amazing service.
We went for restaurant week and it was unbelievable! The
We went for restaurant week and it was unbelievable! The whole staff was very kind, especially our waitress Olivia. We were so torn by so many different menu items because they all sounded so good and she was so so wonderful in helping guide us. We ordered a bottle of wine as well and it was delicious. The highlights were the burger and the citrus salad. Both were absolutely to die for!
Perfectly cooked medium rare burger for $29.
Fries were thin and crunchy. Coffee was great. My friend's loved their meals also - their meat was done perfectly medium rare, which is tough for lamb since it's risky.Staff was very professional. Venue is clean. Top notch lunch spot for me.
Although I live in Los Angeles, my wife and I have been
Although I live in Los Angeles, my wife and I have been coming to the Union Square Cafe for decades now at their various locations, always enjoying its excellent food and service. I accordingly recommended the restaurant to my 39 year old daughter, also a Los Angeles resident, for a business dinner she was having with some NY associates. Mt daughter had booked a table for five (their party) almost a month prior to that night but when they arrived were told that the only available table seated four. They rightly refused to be seated until a table for their entire party could be arranged which, by the way, took less than five minutes. Clearly there was a table available all along but no biggie...yet. After they were seated the hostess came over to the table and told them they had to leave the restaurant immediately because one of the gentlemen in the party (a 70 year old lawyer) had used a "terrible" word (so bad she cold not repeat it) when talking to another host about getting the table they had actually booked. After getting the manager to straighten the situation out they were advised that the word this gentleman had used was "sissy.' So, first of all, it was the host who was, instead of being even remotely apologetic for denying them the table they had booked, the rude one. Secondly, knowing this gentleman, if he was going to curse out the host to begin with "sissy" is hardly the word he would have used (didn't that work go out in the ninth grade). When my daughter related this story to me I frankly was not surprised because two nights prior my wife and I got stuck in traffic, called the restaurant to tell them it was possible we would be, literally, 5 to 10 minutes late, and were rudely, perhaps by this same hostess, told the table could not be held (fortunately we made it in time). I was quite frankly shocked by this hostess's attitude. Your food is great, which is why we keep coming back, but you need to train your staff properly and get rid of those who don't know how to exercise simple courtesies toward paying customers.
as always, dependable food and service
Even with a new location, this cafe continues to produce good food and excellent service without sticker shock prices. As with all Danny Meyer properties, this is a senior staff who exude loyalty and menu knowledge. We hit right at high noon and the place was bustling. but got a table almost immediately. Food took a little while to appear, but it was well worth the late and not unexpected , given that it was December. Service was good and assisted by the mgr.. as our server had his hands full. The menu has many options, and you can get an excellent entree for a very reasonable New York price. We would highly recommend that you dine here or at any Meyer property to get a very satisfactory meal, good service and reasonable prices.
Very busy place but great staff service the big salad was
Very busy place but great staff service the big salad was good the duck Ragu was good the trout was excellent the Black bass for two was excellent scallop even though it's one scallop appetizer was delicious good wine selection espresso martinis or very good but small. The steak tartare was excellent. I knew Danny when he started the first Union Square, Café on 16th St. this place is just as good.
Very drafty, had linen napkins stuffed in door which didn't
Very drafty, had linen napkins stuffed in door which didn't help. Restaurant is pretty, but looks aren't everything. We went for restaurant week & confirmed they offer it on Saturday, I asked the server if the menu was the special & was told only Mon - Fri. The manager came over & confirmed & didn't offer to do anything, instead just let us leave. A big difference since Danny Meyer left.
Beware Restaurant Week! I live in NYC and enjoy restaurant
Beware Restaurant Week! I live in NYC and enjoy restaurant week which nowadays lasts a month. At Union Square, menu states Restaurant Week lunch $45- choose appetizer and pasta or main entree we did just that. Our waitress said our appetizer choice of oysters would have a supplement. This was not mentioned anywhere on the menu but we agreed. When the check came the entire lunch was priced ala carte. I did not want to ruin a friendly afternoon meal so I said nothing but felt taken. It perhaps didn't help that we were also seated in the balcony near the restrooms. I am so displeased with the whole dining experience, I won't be back. If you are interested in a lovely Restaurant Week lunch go the Bar at the Modern instead.
Delicious and dependable
We loved the food and atmosphere. We shared a Bibb Salad (gruyere and vinaigrette) , citrus salad and a roasted mushroom side dish, all were great. Entrees were excellent- Brook trout with lentils and the duck. Service was friendly and attentive.
Times Change
I was such a fan of the original that I really should never have come to this new iteration. The original really was a fine dining restaurant and a wonderful experience whether with friends in the main room or on ones own at the bar. The food and the service were always memorable. There is nothing wrong with the new restaurant, its just that it feels like so many others and not special in any way. Its very noisy and the service is very slow and the food not special in any way. Tables full of young men drinking bottles of expensive wine at top pitch. Like so much these days, perhaps the world wants homogeneity and Danny Meyer has chosen this more commercial route to ensure packed venues. Good for him but we won't be back sadly.
Wonderful brunch
This was our 2nd time we booked for brunch on a cold Sunday and we loved it more than the 1st time. The menu is not the typical where you can find Omelettes, Eggs Benedict, etc...it's a menu that has more variety. We ordered the Parker House Rolls (some delicious breads with cheese, onion), Duck Liver Mousse and we both ordered French Toasts with bacon con the side. Everything as delicious and the French Toasts were extraordinary ! We will definitely be back..

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
