Union New American

Valet parking is available here which was nice as it was raining the day we showed. Entrance is on the side of the building, so just an FYI there. Hostesses were extremely nice and knew the who, what, where, and why. Our server Stephanie was excellent considering we had a large party of 8. I will say it was somewhat noisy though we didn't mind as the music that was playing was awesome, however if you are looking at having an intimate convo this may not be the best place on a Friday night. Food and drinks were on point. Wouldn't change a thing. Fish was cooked perfectly, cocktails were balanced and matched their descriptions. We will most certainly come back. A+

Union New American has been one of my favorite Tampa restaurants since it opened a few years ago, and we have continued returning ever since. The food is consistently delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor, with plenty of options for sharing and trying something new. The atmosphere feels stylish and lively while still being comfortable enough for everything from date nights to celebrations with friends. After several visits over the years, the experience continues to feel special, and I’m always excited to come back.

We stopped by Union on a Tuesday afternoon and had a great experience. We had reservations and even though the place was packed we were seated almost immediately. The ambiance was beautiful and had a really welcoming feel. Our server was excellent from the moment we sat down and made the whole experience even better. The hearth roasted oysters were outstanding and easily one of my favorite things we ordered. The steak was cooked perfectly and the drinks were excellent too. Everything came out at a nice pace and it was clear the kitchen takes pride in what they’re serving. The only minor issue was that our bread came out cold. We mentioned it and they had a warm loaf at the table almost immediately. Mistakes happen and what matters is how they’re handled. They took care of it without hesitation. Overall this was an excellent meal and somewhere I’d happily return. If you’ve been thinking about trying Union I’d definitely recommend giving it a visit.

Outstanding quality from the first to the last bite. I really enjoyed the attention to detail from the timing of dishes to platting and making the experience unique in general. The blue crab bisque was excellent and something that I had never tried before. The house salad was really good. The chili was arguably the best chili I have ever had in my life, Union New American has an incredible chili recipe. Finally the milk bread and the cherry pie were also very good. This restaurant is committed to giving a tailored experience to every patron that walks through the door and making sure that they leave with a smile on their face. I think that’s what makes this place so special. The attention to detail with customer satisfaction is second to none. I am glad I chose to dine here and look forward to coming back. The weekend brunch looks amazing, I am glad the bartender told me about it.

If I could rate above 5 stars I would. A great establishment starts at the top, and Stevo, the manager, is the heartbeat of this place. He runs Union with a level of grace and warmth that is hard to find. He made us feel like family from the very first greeting, and it’s clear his leadership style trickles down to every staff member. He operates the team with that same familial respect, creating a seamless, joyful energy that fills the entire room. Our server, Theo, provided some of the best service I have ever experienced. His attention to detail was impeccable; he anticipated our needs before we even realized them. Whether it was the timing of the courses or his deep knowledge of the menu. Then, there is the food. Chef Jared is a true master of his craft. Every dish that came out of the kitchen was masterfully designed and executed with precision. The balance of flavors and the quality of the ingredients were staggering. I can honestly say it was the best food I have ever had at a restaurant. If you are looking for a place where the staff cares as much about your experience as they do about the food on the plate, look no further than Union. We can’t wait to come back.
