@UNION — Restaurant in Boston

Solid brunch spot in Allston with a casual and laid-back vibes.

Dropped by this place a couple times for brunch on weekdays. Since there aren’t a lot of typical American brunch spots in this area, the place gets crowded on the weekends, but the weekdays were nice and quiet.

As a personal litmus test for breakfast spots, I like to compare the quality of freshly squeezed orange juice, which often mirrors the overall quality of the food. The Freshly Squeezed OJ here was on point - not overly sweet nor lacking in pulp. As expected from this result, the food here was a notch above typical diner fares.

From their regular entrées, I had the Chicken & Waffles and the Chorizo & Spinach omelette. Waffle was soft and fluffy, and the combination of sweet BBQ sauce and small chunks of butter added an indulgent depth in each bite. The omelette was also generously packed with fillings, and I especially enjoyed the well-seasoned home fries.

As expected from a brunch spot in Allston, they had Korean-inspired brunch dishes like the Bulgogi Benedict. Resting on a crispy English muffin, the Bulgogi, though slightly thicker and lighter in marinade than traditional preparations, brought a subtle sweetness that enhanced the dish. While it didn't pack the expected flavor punch, it was a dish that captured the essence of a satisfying fusion brunch.

Overall, a good brunch spot with comforting twists. If you’re in the area for a satisfying breakfast or brunch, I highly recommend...

Everyone pretty good! If I’m in the area I may come back again. The wait was a bit long, about 20 minutes.

My party and I got a bucket mimosa and it was strong. You make it at the table yourself and they bring you a bottle of alcohol and two flavors of your choice for 33 dollars. We did Rose, Lemonade and Cranberry juice. Even though I put only maybe 2 ounces of Rose I did feel the hot tingles in my head after drinking it. Im a light weight but my party members agreed it was strong and delicious.

I ordered a Turkey BLT without the lettuce and tomato. It was stuffed with turkey and had a very good grilled sourdough as the bread. Fries were also impeccable. They were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Unfortunately I couldn’t finish it because it was a bit greasy after a while.

Both my party members said there food was fabulous. One got french toast with all the fixings (whipped cream, lemon curd, berry compote and ricotta). Another got a breakfast sandwich with pesto, avocado and bacon!

We had to ask for utensils and napkins after our food was served as we hadn't gotten any but it is an easy mishap since the place is popping.

However the bathrooms was another story. It wasn’t the worst I’ve seen but it was sticky and unpleasant- but again from a super busy place in boston I dont expect much! Over all very good! Party members love it and I didnt think it was...

Unfortunately i am very upset with this location, i have been ordering here ever since i can remember and the first time i sit down there to have breakfast i get horrible service the waitress looks and talk to you like you are irrelevant to her. This is disappointing because i have been in the customer service business ever since i was 15 and in no way shape or form have i ever treated my clients like this, i always made sure they had everything they needed and always left with a smile on their face. if you don't like people then i suggest you find a job isolated from the world. you need to start hiring people that actually want to work and please clients so they wont have to leave a long msg like this on your reviews this is my fist and last review about any place. since i don't do this!

TIPS.... Always make sure they have the utensils they need if its to go...LIKE syrup...fork and a knife to actually eat the food they ordered. Treat your clients like they matter so they will leave you a good tip. learn how to Split a bill or make a little effort so the client knows that you at least care and are showing it.

This isn't the first time and i know it wont be the last, i really do hope you don't just overlook this as just a bad review but take it into consideration to a new change in the business and train people that like to work in the customer...
