" We took my parents here for a special dinner, and they were so impressed they want to return for their anniversary! The food is flawless! We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the seafood paella which had an incredible depth of flavor. The service team was polite and made excellent suggestions for wine pairings. It was a great evening spent in a beautiful space, and we felt well taken care of! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience! The Union League Cafe nailed everything from the food presentation to the attentive service. We started with escargot, which was buttery and cooked to perfection. For the main dish, the coq au vin was rich and flavorful, and the cheese plate was a delightful addition. Finished off with their famous chocolate soufflé, which I must say is a must-have! Highly recommend this gem in New Haven! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went for a family dinner, and while the setting is beautiful, the service was disappointing. We felt like we were being rushed throughout the meal, and some dishes did not meet our expectations. The dishes were a bit underwhelming for their price point. The ribs were flavorful but not tender as expected. They did have a good selection of wines, but I don't think we will be returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic culinary experience! From start to finish, the entire evening was lovely. The waitstaff was friendly without being overly familiar. I have to give a special shout-out to the duck confit—it was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was classy yet relaxed, making it perfect for a date night. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu. Highly recommend for anyone seeking traditional French cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was expecting more from this place based on what I had heard. The atmosphere was nice, but we encountered rather lengthy waits for our food. I ordered the chicken dish, but it was underseasoned. I must admit, I felt like the service did not match the high-end vibe of the restaurant. I might give it one more chance to see if it improves, because it does have potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner was less than ideal. Although the restaurant is beautifully decorated and the service started off attentive, we faced long delays between courses. By the time we finished the main course, we felt rushed through dessert, which took away some of the enjoyment. My steak was well cooked, but I expected more depth in flavor given the price. The lobster bisque was amazing, though! Despite some hiccups, I'm willing to give this establishment another chance based on the positive reviews I've heard. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say I was not impressed with our visit. The ambience is lovely, but we faced quite a few issues with the service. Our table was forgotten for extended periods, and one of our dessert orders was incorrect. The food quality wasn't poor, but it felt more like standard fare rather than fine dining as I had expected. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
