Union On Yale

Excellent food and service. The Union Pizza, and fried chicken were both delicious. And Banana Foster was my favorite ????.

We normally love it here but Friday night was a bummer. We had a reservation for 2, and the hostess took us to an outdoor table next to the kitchen and far from any heaters. We asked to sit somewhere else and she somewhat rudely took us inside to a weirdly positioned table. No one came to take our drink order or anything, so we left. Went to Aruffo’s instead and had a great night.

Our family came here for brunch because it was dog-friendly, but a couple at the table next to us asked to move because the woman didn't want to be near our dogs. Not the restaurant's fault at all, but it did make for an uncomfortable atmosphere. Besides that, the outdoor patio area is very nice and well shaded. Personally, the food was just ok - except for the potatoes (Socal Papas), which were very good. We ordered the Frenchman omelette, pancakes, arugula salad, Union Breakfast Pizza, and the Socal Papas. The pizza was recommended as the specialty, but to us it seemed to lack flavor. In our opinion the best dish was the Socal Papas, but it is a large shareable side dish and it would be nice if they offered it as a small side to an entree. Even though we were not that impressed with the food, we would still go back for the atmosphere and location (plenty to do around downtown Claremont) and next time try some other dishes that received good reviews (like the fried chicken and eggs Be
