Lovely meal on a quiet night. Two apps (asparagus, eggplant), recommended by our server, were excellent. We shared the Red Snapper which was fantastic. Service was wonderful.

We chose Union League to celebrate both our retirement and our 35th wedding anniversary. We had a great experience. The food was delicious. The service was very good from all involved and particularly our waiter John. The person who really made our night was Arthur. We had a happy anniversary postcard on our table with a photo of our hometown. We had a wonderful chat with Arthur - who actually took the photo, as coincidentally, he is from our town. The kitchen also deserves a shout out. In particular, the daily special - the Beef Wellington- was probably the most delicious beef dish we have ever had. Our night was topped off with a special Happy Anniversary message written in chocolate on a plate with some macarons!

A nice, quiet dinner prior to a show at the Shubert Theatre. Walking distance. Meals were good for both of us, and our server allowed my wife to sample 2 wines before choosing. Thank you.
