Union is just one of those places for me that serves so many purposes. Delicious but casual afternoon lunch? Yes. Glass of wine on the back patio? Yes. Cheese board and half price bottle on Monday night with a girlfriend? Definitely. Special occasion dinner? Duh.
Most recently I stopped in for a quick-ish lunch with coworkers on a Friday afternoon. As a vegetarian I am always happy to see more than one enticing non-meat item on the menu and today was no exception. I ordered the polenta, which was served with spicy tomato sauce, carrot, kale, and tomme de savoie cheese. It was filling and rich but not overwhelmingly so. I also ordered a glass of wine because Friday. The dish would probably have been best with a glass of red, but I was really craving white and our server recommended a nice crisp Sancerre which cut some of the richness of the meal.
