3.0 of 5 stars. If it were possible, I'd give Union League two different ratings--one for their raw bar, another for everything else. They have the best raw bar in New Haven, with a broad selection of extraordinarily...

Yelp.com Review - by Zoe P.

4.0 of 5 stars. I went for the Restaurant Week dinner, and my overall impression was old-school, not stuffy. Not terribly rich, or all overwrought fushion. Classics, with maybe a kind of Alsatian emphasis. The wine...

Elegant Dining

I agree. We took my brother-in-law here for his birthday. This is a lovely fine dining restaurant and it is great how there are several different rooms to the restaurant. The food was wonderful.
