| - This review is a little overdue, but with the holidays, I got distracted. My husband and I came here for dinner on a Friday night in early November for my birthday. The food was absolutely incredible- one of the best meals I have had in a long while. We started with the potato bread (a must have!). It comes with three different butter spreads to put on it.
I wish our waiter pointed out which butter was which, but it was not anything we couldn't figure out by tasting it. My husband and I contemplated ordering a second "loaf" of the bread, but held back in order to save room at the end of the meal for dessert. My husband also ordered the steak tartare. Although I didn't personally try it, my husband said that it was the best tartare he's ever had.
For an entree, my husband ordered the sea scallops and I ordered the strip steak. The steak was amazing - a perfect medium rare! I thought the dish was large enough to share. My husband had some of the steak and I still had enough left over to make a sandwich the next day. The chimichurri and mashed fingerling potatoes complimented the steak well.
My husband's scallops were also cooked perfectly. I wish we had left over some of the potato bread to soak up the broth that came with the scallop dish.
For dessert we ordered the vanilla dutch baby, which came recommended by our waiter. Dessert was good, but definitely the weakest part of the meal. I wish the apples were cooked down, instead of being raw. I think it would have added an additional depth of flavor and warmth to the dish.
There are a lot of elements of Union that are similar to Eleven (which makes sense because the chef/owner is the former chef of Eleven). All leftovers are packaged and left at the coat check for when you leave. It's a nice touch that helps avoid leaving leftovers on the table. Te overall decor is modern, but the fabrics and colors used in the space made it feel warm and comfortable. Our bill came to about $130, which included 3 drinks, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and dessert. It was a lot lower than I expected, but still high enough to save this place for a more special occasion. I will definitely be back again, but plan to try out their happy hour soon. The happy hour is half off oysters and burgers, and based on how well the meals were executed at our dinner, I'm sure the happy hour will surpass my expectations.
