Union Square Cafe

Cant rave enough. Food is incredible. As for the no-tip hype: I have rarely had better service in all of NYC. Impeccable staff . A model for all the restaurant industry in NYC could and should be.

The burger is here is shockingly good - ~8oz patty that's perfectly meaty and fatty, cooked perfectly, comes with cheese and bacon on the burger and fries on the side. Will be back for this.

The sardine app is delicious, as is the crispy polenta . Duck papardelle is perfection. Get a bottle of the union square cuvée and enjoy ALL of the bread !

Sit at the bar . Get some wine , tartare , and any of the pastas . Can’t go wrong.

Beautiful restaurant , perfect for a date night or to bring parents. Try one of the pastas and the roast chicken , enjoy the incredible service.

If you can't snag a reservation , try walking in and sitting at the bar or one of the front tables. Loved their spiced chicken !

Bar nuts on Food Network’s Best Thing I Ever Ate. Fresh out of the oven at 4:45, free at the bar in the afternoon with a drink. A little spicy from cayenne

Been wanting to come here for a while. Brunch was great! Start with duck fat tots and pb&j donut . I had the eggs and merguez (very medi feel) and mama had omelette . We loved!

Every bit as good as you expect. The prix fixe dinner is a great value . I loved the warm octopus & sausage appetizer and the NY strip steak .

Went here one night with bff as a splurge. Superior to the former location; the space is incredible. Heirloom tomato app was delicious, the Gnocchi ranks as a top ten entree. Pricey but worth it!

The Duck Crostone and Sushi Del Chianti al modo di Panzano are a great way to start. Parpardelle al sugo di coniglio and Lobster Ravioli were perfect. Add the Brussels Sprouts for a side.

Pastas like candele tubes sweetened with carrot and spiced with Fresno chilies and pappardelle ribbons slick with a rich sugo of duck and chanterelle are worthy castmates of that famed gnocchi . Read more

Incredible. Get the show stopping lamb shank , beets , crudo , and polenta .

Chef Carmen Quagliata’s burger is a classic, and a feat in dry-aging. A blend of short rib and brisket results in a patty that is juicy yet distinctly beefy.

#fabuLIST #DubiDO love the Moscow mule . made with in-house ginger syrup . Enjoyed the shrimp appetizer , bibb lettuce with homemade croutons , and burger . DubiDONT rabbit pasta was too gamey for me

Accordingly, this non-tipping and market-driven restaurant — features a diverse mix of American, Italian, and French-inspired dishes, including the Berkshire Pork Chop and Ricotta Gnocchi . Read more

Appetizers and entrees are really good. And the waiters are all very friendly . They don’t let you leave a tip even though they highly deserve it.

This was our first time back after their move to their new locale - if possible the food was even better!! Amazing! No reservations ? Score a seat at the bar or nearby "first come" tables.

Stellar service, inventive dishes, and a well-designed interior by Rockwell Group. Danny Meyer delivers once again. Not to be missed.

The candele is a must have. They can make it without the pancetta too - and it is arguably a better dish that way

The service is so gracious without being overbearing at all. The duck is amazing! Great wine service too.

The Ricotta Gnocchi literally made my husband cry, because it was so wonderful.

The gnocchi , asparagus flan , and s’more were incredible - burger eh

You're doing yourself a disservice if you opt out of the bread and butter.

Gnocchi was to die for. Steak with mashed potatoes was also excellent. A little spotlighty lighting if you’re in the main room

Place runs like a well oiled machine: plenty of staff , all very professional but not stiff. For the price, the food is great: lunch doesn't have to be much more than $60 including tip. Polenta app!

Sardine app is fantastic here! Highly recommend trying it if you like seafood .

Service was über professional and attentive. Kudos to their team as the restaurant as this is a no tipping establishment. Beautiful decor but felt a bit stiff. Gnocchi are a standout.

Loved: baked eggs , duck tater tots , and the banana tart dessert . Would definitely go back!

Ask for Brett at the bar ! He’s AMAZING and can make a KILLER cocktail !!

If you plan on walking in on a Friday night, come early- we came a little before 6 and were seated 15 minutes later.

Calamari , beef tartare , *duck pasta , and the gnocchi was very light which was interesting. Overall 8/10.

Octopus app is great as is the candela pasta . Banana tart and chocolate cake are absolute musts.

What a treat! Highly recommended for leisurely lunch midweek. All the things, no rush.

A little overpriced for the quality, but excellent service, atmosphere, and experience. Also the gnocchi was incredible.

All of the pastas are incredible! Also the baked Alaska is delicious.

This restaurant has been around for 30 years and is a longtime local favorite spot. Try the lasagna !

Great lunch menu and excellent service. The fried hake sandwich was delicious

The atmosphere and staff here are great! I got the sardine app and it was fantastic!

Great play on sourdough ; tasty pasta

The main dishes are rather pricey given the size, so if you're really hungry it might be worth getting two pasta dishes

There’s a reason that this place is a classic. Excellent food. Precise execution. Love it here.

Loved this place. Good brunch pastries and tasty burger .

Great food and perfect service

Recommend the Banana Tart dessert

the pancakes and the burger can always be counted on

Photo is totally out of focus on the food. But the foot was soooo goood!

Nice wine by the glass. Love the new space.

Longtime local favorite spot, fun vibe and easy bites.

Always a classic. Lobster pasta is delicious.
