I didn't try the food on this visit, but on a previous stop it was excellent, promptly served, and well-portioned if a bit pricey. On this last visit we had a post-performance group that just kept growing. We eventually reached a party of 20, but the staff just helped us move chairs and kept bringing us drinks. They even offered... More

The atmosphere is incredible. The service was good. The food just wasn't as tasty as I thought it would be. I ordered a walnut pear salad and ended up being served a wedge salad. I didn't say anything and just ate it. It was okay. Tasted like a salad I make at home. Restaurants always have some sort of unique... More

We were so sorry to read about your food at Pierpont's, that's not the experience we want for our guests. Please, whether it's Pierpont's or any restaurant, don't hesitate to speak up when something doesn't meet your expectations (it's so easy to switch a salad) ....we want to "wow" you and there is a lot we can do to improve...

The service was phenomenal and thorough and the food was well-prepared. I had a beautifully marbled ribeye cooked to perfection. The wine cellar room provided a great meeting place for a working dinner for our group. Overall a five-star experience.

I wasn't thrilled arriving at the train station and not knowing where to find this place (no signs outside) but once I found it inside the train station I realized how cool of a space it is. Very unique. Actually for whatever its worth the train station itself is worth a walk through while you are there. The staff was... More

Since it was our first visit we asked our waiter for a recommendation which was their New York strip seasoned in some sort of coffee rub. Sounds crazy but it was delicious although a little tangy for my wife. Give it a try. The resatuarant is fabulous. Union Station is a sight to be seen even if you do not... More

In a city of great restaurants this one stands out for several reasons: Its location is convenient to both downtown, Crossroads and midtown; The historic architecture makes for a classy atmosphere (the bar is especially impressive), our food was very high-quality (we had steaks and crab cake appetizer); our waiter was attentive and informative, but not pushy; and prices were...

Great Ribeye. Great cocktails. Great atmosphere at Union Station. right across the street from the Westin Crown Center. While it had a gorgeous dining room, I sat at the bar. Warm. Friendly. Can't wait to go back

We had reservations at Pierponts last weekend and were very impressed with our visit. Our waiter, while attentive and competent, was a bit too arrogant for our taste, but he did his job and didn't ruin our fun. We all choice versions of the small plates/courses. The lobster thermador was beyond delish and my friend's Kansas City strip was declared... More
