Nice Staff, good service and a clean restaurant, but Iexpected more than this from this from Gordon Ramsay, not so many optionsfor families.No value for money!
It is a good place and they quite often serve complimentary drinks as well. The food is good not amazing and the staff is also professional. Overall an average experience.
We have been here quite a few times since we live nearby and we’d be coming even more often if it was dog friendly. The food is always good, with authentic Italian flavours and changed seasonally. Last week for example we enjoyed some stunning pumpkin and buttata starter and an incredible pork and aubergine main. Good and expert service and a nice bar downstairs, Union Street Cafe never fails to disappoint pastabites.co.uk
We began our day with cocktails, a three-course meal and Prosecco at Union Street Cafe.My starter was Burrata, Augergine and Balsamic Vinegar and I may have licked the plate slightly!For mains we both went for Homemade Egg Rigatoni with Spicy SausageThis was so bloody good. We just about had room left for dessert where we both had Raspberry Sorbet and Yogurt, which again was really good!After dinner, we popped downstairs to the Union Street Bar where we shared a carafe of wine.
We arrived and were asked to sot downstairs in the bar area. We got seats and were not sure if anybody was going to take our order.. Due to no staff behind small bar or within the bar area itself! Once we arrived at our table, we reviewed the menu. Staff were fantastic, very attentive and friendly. The menu is in Italian.. So that has it’s challenges straight away. I adored my starter but my Rabbit pasta dish was a let down. However, my friend loved his food. Enjoyed my evening but I have to be honest, I wouldn’t rush back.
My second visit to this super restaurant. I had to think for a while as to why I liked it so much to return within a week and it’s simple; this restaurant has got the balance just right.I love the staff (at least the ones I’ve encountered) who all appear genuinely friendly and eager to please. They go about their business quickly and efficiently but without making you feel rushed or pressured. The salon itself has a great atmosphere, especially after one or two of their recommended aperitifs, it’s bright and spacious. Both of my visits were at lunchtime where there is a lunch menu as well as a limited la carte selection. By limited, I don’t wish to imply inferior or restricted. I prefer to not plough through line upon line of offers. The food itself, well you should go but I think it’s excellent and good value. I’d go again this week if I could think of an excuse. It was my birthday the first time and I entertained a visiting friend yesterday. Happy days.
Came here for a girly Sunday lunch and we couldn’t have chosen a more ideal location for a group of ladies who hadn’t seen each other in a long time. The concept behind their Pranzo Sunday lunches are slow lunches with lots of courses and we had the option of choosing between 2, 3 and 4 courses. It has quite a casual interior but add in the free flowing Prosseco for another ten pounds and you’ll feel like you are brunching in New York!Before selecting the starter, I was tempted by the arancini aperitini, 5 tiny little balls of cheesy risotto magic, served beautifully hot and a perfect little mouthful to whet the appetite.The rest of the group all went for a pasta dish or gnocchi dish and then a meat dish but I decided to try the Sraciatell with bell pepper anti pasti, a type of compressed cheese, similar to buffalo mozarella. With the simplicity of the cheese, drizzled with some oil and served with delicious roasted soft peppers, this was a light and refreshing course. I did taste a forkfull of the gnocchi with peas and each little piece was so soft and tender that I was a little envious.For our second course, 3 of our group chose chicken and I selected sea bass with chard, which was cooked perfectly with a fresh crispy skin and a lovely relish and sauce on a bed of chard.There was a reasonable wait between courses but this is not a restaurant to come to if you are after a hurried meal, not on a Sunday in any case. The ethos of their Sunday lunches is slow dining and we were thrilled to have been able to spend nearly 4 hours in there, eating at our own pace, gossiping likee school girls and not feeling in any way rushed.The highlight by a miel though was the dessert. We sacrificed trying options sucuh as Earl Grey Pannacotta, gelato of the day which was white chocolate and a type of chocolate panna cotta in favour of their cake of th e day – a tart with chocolate ganache and covered in Piedmont hazelnuts. We were all so tempted by this that between 5 of us, we ordered 3 of these tarts to share and not a crumb went waste. The hazelnuts were packed full of that beautiful flavour and gave the rich decadent chocolate a perfect crunch. Perhaps we should have ordered one each!I would definitely return here for a Sunday lunch and it is ideal for a group brunch or lunch with fresh ingredients, great flavours and if you are vegetarian, they have a great selection of veggie dishes on the menu. whywasteannualleave.com
