The Union House

Book The Union House for a polished Genesee Depot dinner when the appeal is contemporary French and American fine dining, wild game, steaks, and chops. The Union House is a $75-per-person restaurant with smart-casual expectations.

The strongest fit is a table that wants a more formal dinner built around the strengths of the restaurant: the cuisine, the game-and-steak direction, the listed signature dishes, and the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2026.

Wild game, steaks, and a wine-recognized reason to dine in

The menu is the main reason to choose The Union House. The kitchen’s lane is contemporary French and American fine dining with wild game and steaks, so the decision is clearest for diners who like a meat-led meal with a few less common options. The listed signatures point in that direction: French onion soup, mushroom tart, roast duckling, pecan-crusted chicken, steaks and chops, plus wild game specials such as quail, kangaroo, elk, and bison.

That range makes the restaurant a good match for an explorer who wants a fine-dining dinner with familiar steakhouse anchors and more unusual game options. The stronger play is to treat the meal as fine dining built around starters such as French onion soup or mushroom tart, followed by game, duck, chicken, steaks, or chops.

Wine is part of the story because The Union House holds a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2026. That does not require overstating the drinks program, but it does support the idea that wine is part of the restaurant’s recognized profile. If the table includes someone who cares about wine with dinner, dining at The Union House may make sense for its recognized profile alongside its food.

Plan around the dinner hours

The confirmed hours are dinner-focused: closed Monday and Sunday, open Tuesday through Thursday from 4–9 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 4–10 PM.

For travel-minded diners, the better call is to plan around those evening hours. The restaurant’s strengths are tied to dinner: contemporary French and American fine dining, smart-casual expectations, wild game specials, steaks, chops, and its confirmed recognition.

The price point is $75 per person, which makes the decision clearest for diners who want a full dinner rather than a quick weeknight bite. The menu has enough range for both conservative steakhouse diners and more curious eaters: one guest can stay with steaks and chops, while another can look toward roast duckling, pecan-crusted chicken, or wild game specials.

If the goal is a Genesee Depot dinner with contemporary French and American fine dining, game, steaks, smart-casual expectations, and a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, The Union House is worth prioritizing.
