the union hotel & restaurant

wonderful place!. we've eaten here for many years and have never had a bad meal or bad service. the fish was always fresh and the steaks done just the way they should be. and great liver and onions! true, the union harkens back to an older time with their relish tray and home made rolls and desserts, but it's still busy every time we go in and hope it stays that way! they know their strengths and stick too them, which a restaurant should. if we want sushi or vegetarian we'll go someplace else. restaurants that try to cater to too many tastes end up failing because they simply can't do everything well. give me a restaurant with a small menu that does it right any day! and don't forget their wonderful baked chicken!

a must visit. best steaks around and the dessert was even better.the building it self is worth the visit it is like stepping back in time the the 1950's

went will never go back. we went here on a sunday night and the food and service was the worst in town, i will never go back it is an older local classic ?????

love this place!. this is an awesome place and very special - my parents always took me there for special events, graduation, birthdays ect. i have never had a bad meal and the staff have always been very gracious. for my college graduation we had a party of 8 and they gave us an entire room upstairs to ourselves so we could talk and laugh ect definitely one of my best memories

our favorite date night. fresh from scratch food and kind service. ask for heidi she's an awesome waitress. great appetizers and dessert too. the best!

stopped in for lunch. with three people along, we had a tomato basil soup as well as a cream of chicken soup, both well done and homemade. for entrees, the cremini mushroom ravioli, seafood salad croissant, and the pork chop. all was very good and well made. the pork chop was nothing to get too excited about, but was tender and juicy. i would recommend for lunch time, as the prices are a little steep for nighttime dining.

maître d eats my steak. my husband and i dined at union hotel in depere for our anniversary. we decided to have the ribeye special with mushrooms on the side. we could hardly cut through our steaks, my husband gave up. ribeyes should melt in your mouth and be well marbled but not thick, hard fat with a bite of meat here and there. the waitress told us she would check with the chef and upon returning to our table she offered us filet, we declined with it now being 8:30 pm so the waitress then says i will just charge you for what you ate. when the bill came she charged for the mushrooms that were ordered to eat with the steaks which we did not, they were left on the plate with the steak that had 3 attempted bites from each of the steaks. my husband and i finished our bottle of wine and when he went to pay the maître he commented on our disappointment and he replied "your wife's steak was good in the middle, i ate it and it was excellent!". my husband came directly back to the table in such disbelief at the audacity at such a comment. we will not be back.

this local classic hasn't changed since i was a kid. its a little piece of local history that has never let its quality slide. it isn't cheap. it isn't complicated. its just simple perfection. i have spent a lot more money and never had it buy me a better steak. i always leave with a heavy box of leftovers. its easy to drop $100 for dinner here for a couple, but its worth every penny.

wonderful. i, too, have no idea what restaurant bill was at. it certainly was not the union hotel. portions are generous. no way did he get an 8 oz. steak.

review response. i don't know what restaurant bill was at, but i have had the n. y. strip at the union. it is an 18 - 20 ounce (not 8 ounce) aged on premise 'certified angus beef' steak and the price is $32.75 (not $20.00). best strip i have ever had. the price includes homemade rolls, relish tray (w/ liver pate, ham salad and cheese spread), soup, salad, potato & dessert. portions are definitely not a problem here! you will not leave hungry!

portions far too small, price far too high. i actually went to subway after a forced family function there. probably was a great place to eat years ago, it isnt anymore. skimpy ny strip steak, taste was good enough, but for 20 bucks i thought it'd be bigger than about 8 ounces.

resturant decor is extremely outdated, service was quick and checked in frequently, perch with bones in was tasty and moist, steak was undercooked but was seasoned well, salad was plain and not well dressed. still would recommend to a friend. beware though is pricey.

enjoyable. a colleague of mine and i were attending a conference at st. norbert college and decided to cross the river to check this place out. i'm glad we did. our food was excellent as was our service. we both loved the atmosphere of the old building and the small dinning room. it was an enjoyable time.

great food, even better atmosphere (kind of like its the 1930's). very nice staff and the place is supposedly haunted! i recommend the turkey club for lunch.

one of the best steaks of my life... sad they wouldn't let me go upstairs to the "haunted " area...
