An absolute masterclass, from food, to service, to atmosphere and ambience. Impeccable front of house, warmly received and greeted. Incredible diversity of flavours and ingredients being used, caters for vegetarian and non-alcoholic too, which was great for my pregnant fiancé. Value for money is fantastic, I truly cant say anything negative. Do yourseld a favour and book a table, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Will absolutely recommend, and will certainly be back to explore the menu further. Bravo, Upper Union.

Went for a relaxing public holiday lunch. Not too busy so felt well taken care of. My Metropolitan cocktail was perfectly tart and refreshing. We decided to choose our selection of tapas, but found the menu very meat heavy. This is not unique to Upper Union. We’ve been struggling to find more vegetarian options of late. The lamb tartare was lovely. The southern fried chicken was a bit overcooked imo, but still tasty. Everything else was just fine. Glad I finally went, but don’t think I’ll be back.

Amazing lunch on the patio under the trees. Great value for money given that the food falls in the fine dining category. The chicken with the ranch sauce was my favourite! Cocktails are great too.

Just left an amazing dinner at Upper Union. The service here is honestly unbeatable. My dad has a lot of dietary restrictions, so he had called earlier in the day to "pre-order" a tomahawk steak we’d seen on the menu a few months back. They told him it was no longer on the menu, which was totally fine, and we headed to dinner anyway. When we arrived, we found out they had actually gone out of their way to bring in a tomahawk just for him! That kind of thoughtfulness is so rare and so so appreciated. Beyond that, every person we interacted with was outstanding. I ordered the burrata and the green tartare - I’d highly recommend both. Beautiful interior, flavorful food, and a genuinely kind staff. 10/10 experience.

Lunch at Upper Union was a memorable experience from the very start. For me, the bread course always sets the tone and they absolutely delivered. The bread was soft, paired with spreads and butter that complemented it perfectly. To start, I had the yellowtail ceviche which was nothing short of exceptional (it was fresh and full of flavour). However, the standout was the lamb rump, compliments to the chef for such a perfectly executed dish! One of the main dishes that had butternut didn’t quite suit my taste, but the overall experience remained highly enjoyable. I was on a solo date so I did not finish all the food, the portions are filling so I’d definitely recommend visiting with someone to fully enjoy and share the variety on offer. One small area for improvement would be the attentiveness upon arrival. I did have to wait for a few minutes before being offered water, which slightly took away from the warm experience. A more proactive welcome from the staff would really elevate the overall first impression.
