Came here for my birthday. We were late to our reservation because of the traffic and they still were able to accommodate us! Ang was our server and she was amazing! Our food and drinks came out so fast for how busy they were, we were so impressed! We will definitely come back next time we’re in DC! Thank you Ang for making our night special!
The décor and atmosphere were definitely a vibe, and our server stayed attentive throughout the entire meal. As for the food — was good, just not anything super spectacular. I’d definitely drop in again if I’m in the area. I didn’t get a chance to try a drink, but the bartender offered plenty of great suggestions. The restaurant wasn’t packed, but it was still very loud — not an issue for me, just something to note.
stopped here because it was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. Our waiter was super nice and attentive, the ambiance was really cool & the drinks were pretty awesome! The food was good but not great (we are from Texas so I think our expectations may be high). Some food was a bit too spicy, plates do not come with sides & some chips & salsa will cost you $11 (so it’s definitely pricey). However, we thought it was worth it & they brought my sister a unique tasting ice cream foe her birthday
First time union market has definitely changed since I used to live in DC many years ago. The margaritas are excellent followed by the kale salad with just enough dressing not over powering and the shrimp fajitas awesome.
Decent food, but nothing exceptional. Would recommend the huevos rancheros if you're eating here during brunch. Portions are good, big enough to not be filling but satisfied. As with the price, service is phenomenal. When this place first opened, there was massive hype given the beautiful and quirky interior with bold colored rooms and a fun tropical vibe. I will say that the restaurant is quite fun and on weekends and evenings, it can be quite busy, so make a reservation then.
