The Union Tavern - Restaurant in Rochester - 4565 Culver Rd, USA

As an out of towner the staff made me feel at home. Plenty of great menu options (try the buffalo chicken wrap). Iconic location across from Seabreeze Amusement park and a short walk to the lake. A piece of NY history. Thank you “The Union Tavern” good luck.

Visited for the first time but it will not be the last! Great atmosphere with a vintage feel. The service was exceptional - attentive and quick. So many things on the menu we wanted to try but chose one of the nights specials - a glazed porkchop - and a strip steak with oyster mushrooms. We had the fried oysters for an appetizer and pie for desert. You gotta try their chocolate peanut butter tort - so rich and decadent! The key lime pie was perfect - light, sweet, with just the right amount of tart. Will definitely be visiting this gem again!

Really wanted to give a higher review but it just didn't make it. Love the menu options. It's a smaller menu which I appreciate their dedication to what they serve. Fish and chips was fabulous. Decent portions, perfectly cooked and the fries were awesome. Asian glazed salmon was cooked to a medium rare. I think customers should be asked if they want it well done or rare. Just my opinion. As for the establishment itself. Well the bathrooms needed attention. The rug looks original to its build date. The mop bucket and mop standing alone in the dining room is disturbing. 12 customers and 3 waitresses. There was a 40 lag between our salads being cleared and our entrees arriving. Also didn't get our drinks until after our salads when I reminded the waitress. I'm tempted to give this place another try simply because the food is good and Mo the bartender gave us some good conversation and attention.

4.6 This is a restaurant I chose using Google Maps looking for a place to eat where we'd been before but wanted to try something else. Seeing Lamb and Pork Shanks on their menu it was a must. Their lobster rolls also looked good in one or two photos. Win win all around. Being early October, however, they were closing the summer menu so lobster rolls were not available and not having started the winter menu, shanks were not available. Fortunately, there were many alternative choices and our party of three enjoyed all of them. We had the place all to ourselves on an off hour but the bartender who was also our server told us they were usually packed. They do offer live music and a second floor of seating for these busy nights. She made two of us the best Negroni I've ever had...asking her about this talent, she smiled and said she makes them how she likes them. Good taste. The steak quesadilla was incredible. I could post my four photos of this dish alone and you'd want to come eat here....how to choose... The steak was an add-on choice. Patrons can also add shrimp, chicken and Buffalo chicken. We also ordered the shrimp skewers with two different sauces on the side, two we'd all never tried, Marshall and Boom Boom. For mains we ordered two salmon entrées, and a chicken bacon ranch sandwich which came with uniquely shaped fries that are one of a kind. The sandwich was oozing in cheese and looked stupendous. This was confirmed by my partner eating it. The salmon was a nice mix of crispness and tenderness. Absolutely worth a trip here if you're not a local and visiting.

The first problem was that we were seated outside at a large, older picnic table (it needed a good sanding) in the long grass, that had not been cut. Walking to the table was difficult, the ground was very uneven and a trip and fall hazard at the least, which also made the benches not sit evenly on the ground. Next, our waitress never returned, we were ready to order and made the hike to ask the hostess for a server, still nothing, so someone went inside to the bar (we also all needed drinks) and ordered her food there, asked for a waitress and waited in line for the ladies room. While she was inside the waitress showed up and took the remaining orders. The bar food order came out quickly, another table opened up in the paved area, so we checked in with the hostess and moved over there. We watched all the people who arrived and ordered after us, order and receive their food. Again we went up to the hostess and complained, someone from the kitchen happened to be there and said it would be less than 10 min. That was true and we received the food quickly. The macaroni and cheese burger was awesome, the only highlight of our night. The artichoke dip skillet, huge disappointment! It was more like a soup, half was spilled on the pavement between the steps and our table. The server said oops, sorry about that and left. I make this type of dip and it's usually very thick and gooey, theirs was not. The only time we saw our server again was with our bill in hand, nobody ever came back to check on us, ask how the food was or refill our drinks. I walked inside to the bar again to get drinks and also got to go containers while I was there. We were drawn in by the 93.3 Fickle happy hour, filling out slips for prizes, which didn't happen much either, I did see 2 people get their names called after arriving around 5, then towards the end, Dino just said . . . Does anyone want Doobie Brothers tickets, I've got 2 pair, first people up here get them. This was much different than past happy hours at other establishments. I also ordered the Dino drink of the week, the option of Tito's vodka and fresh lemonade, not much of a special at $9, the lemonade was also very strong. I might go back for the Mac and cheese burger, it looked very good and my friend said also tasted great.

We attended a Ghost Dinner. Ralph Esposito, the historian and story teller, was entertaining and very knowledgeable. Food and service were great. As was the history lesson and ghost stories! Strongly recommend the pumpkin cheesecake! Will definitely go again.

Fabulous food and the food and service by Aimie R.was spectacular. Also had porter beer, a favorite... I heard it was a local favorite. It was packed on a Friday afternoon Thanks for a great experience.

Homemade lobster Mac & Cheese washed down with a delicious Strawberry daiquiri for me, and Buffalo chicken Mac & Cheese for my husband, with a 1911 Cranberry Hard Cider as his drink of choice. This. Place. Is. AMAZING!!!! The food was divine, and our server was one of the nicest people I’ve met in quite some time. We HIGHLY recommend this place for a great meal and fun atmosphere. We’ll be back for sure!!!
