Dined at Union last night to celebrate a birthday -- and was very impressed. They make no great claims and over delivered in a big way. We were lucky in that it was a beautiful evening and we, party of four, was able to sit outdoors on the lovely patio. Food standouts included grilled octopus, leeks in herbed vinaigrette, arctic char with beets, and a wonderful aged steak with frites. We shared all plates and everyone was more than pleased. Nice cocktails too, especially an unusual white negroni. Great service. We certainly will return. Simple fate done very well.
