Union Square Cafe continues to impress with its iconic old-NY ambiance and diverse menu offerings. While some dishes may be on the salty side, the pasta dishes are standout, with perfectly al dente noodles and rich flavors. The atmosphere is perfect for a date or business dinner, and the service is top-notch. The menu offers a balanced selection of dishes, all cooked and seasoned well. Additionally, the prix fixe menu is a great deal, making Union Square Cafe a must-try in NYC for those looking for a memorable dining experience.

Lovely interior with amazing drinks and great food! The garlic potato chips and Bibb salad are a must. Can?t go wrong with any pasta on the menu.

A New York staple!! Food is fantastic! Superb service. From what I understand all servers and bartenders are salaried which means consistent excellent service....
