    After giving Union Public House three chances, I can confidently say it has never delivered the “wow” factor I’ve been hoping for. The food is good - that’s the only reason we’ve kept coming back - but the service has consistently fallen short. The second time we visited, we were actually forgotten. Despite that, we decided to give it another shot. Unfortunately, our third visit wasn’t much better. Our server (a girl with purple hair) checked on us only three times during our hour-and-a-half-long visit. We didn’t order an appetizer, yet our entrées took 45 minutes to arrive. The server seemed to avoid us while we waited, making the experience even more frustrating. At this point, lackluster service seems to be the norm here, which is disappointing for a place that otherwise has solid food. If you’re looking for a smooth, enjoyable date night, I’d suggest looking elsewhere.

    No seating “available” inside despite there being empty tables. Weather was okay…bit chilly but comfortable. Food was fantastic. Sous vide hanger steak was expertly prepared and delicious. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

    We sat outside and it was great. I am glad we weren’t inside because the noise level is very high inside. Our food was not as great as on previous visits. My chicken was very dry and the pork shank dish was way too salty. Our friend got the scallop specialty dish and enjoyed that a lot though and the shrimp salad was good.

    Amazing time at UPH! We went for a birthday dinner, all of us ordered something different and each of us said it was the best dish we had ever had. The team at UPH are awesome. They make for a super fun and engaging time. They have an amazing selection of cocktails and mocktails! We will definitely be back, I think it’s going to be hard to choose another place to eat for special occasions and date night. Shout out to Madeline for being so awesome, it was a great night!

    The hot chicken was raw in the center, dangerously raw. Waiter apologized; Chef did not come to the table to apologize for serving raw chicken.

    UPH was amazing as always! It’s our absolute favorite place for dinner! Christian is the best bartender in Pensacola and we always have great service, but last night’s service was the best we’ve ever had—I wish I remembered her name.

    I hate that we have missed so many years by not checking this place out. Well the good news is we know now about UPH. I had the Short Rib and my husband had the Ceaser Salad with Shrimp. Everything was delicious!
