The starter and main course were as good as any food I have ever eaten. Thoroughly delicious. Pudding not to the same standard and wine a little disappointing. Service fabulous, very friendly and perfectly attentive.
This restaurant is just a delight! Chef Mariana prepares dishes of exceptional refinement. She marvelously practices the mixture of flavors with quality products. Jess with her radiant smile and her natural generosity is Mariana's best ambassador in the service room. Thank you for making me taste such wonders and see you very soon!
Amazing food with a wonderful wine list, and even better service. I celebrated my birthday at The Union Rye and we were well looked after by a very professional yet very warm team. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable of the food and the local area.
The food is truly out of this world.
A true gem of a place.
Was not expecting to find such amazing food in Rye! Everything was so spectacularly prepared, service was super friendly and decor is so cute too. So lucky we stumbled in. Get EVERYTHING on the menu!
Everytime we have been to Rye we have found this restaurant to be very busy. This time we were lucky to find space for lunch. What can I say about food, it was amazing. We can't wait to visit again. Food was seasonal, delicious and very well presented.
Service was exceptional. We will definitely go back.
Spent a lovely day trip in Rye ♡ and found this lovely resto.
A gem and nice food right next to the cathedral.
We had ricotta, tempura veg, pork shoulder, and polenta.
Wine list was also great with lots of British wine choices.
Service and host - super nice!
Highly recommend!
Had a wonderful time along with Amos at the Union. Very dog friendly.
Food was amazing. Atmosphere was chilled and lovely for a Sunday.

And we went with the Riesling for wine. Sweet, crisp and light.
Nicely done folks. We were impressed.
Delicious food, spanning a variety of cuisines and mixing a lot of flavours. Great service too. Particularly enjoyed the chicken hearts, goats cheese and oyster mushrooms. Wasn’t expecting to find such a gem in Rye!
Absolutely fantastic restaurant. We loved their sharing dishes - we had five between the two of us. The menu was imaginative and the friendly waitress talked us through it, helping us to pair the dishes. Although we live more than an hour away, we would happily revisit Eye just to eat here.
Thank you so much for serving amazing food to a tired, grumpy and fussy family! We were let down by another local restaurant and the team at the Union could not have been more patient and accommodating. Food and service were perfect, and made us feel so at home that our young son fell asleep after polishing off what looked like a delicious bavette steak, leaving the rest of us to enjoy dessert (black sesame ice cream was particularly good).
