| - I've been wanting to try UNION since it opened and with a gift card in hand I can say it was time well spent.
In short order- it was expensive, without reason. Whereas other restaurants charge a lot for a great product and such, this place charges a lot because this is Vegas. To top it off It doesn't serve any particular cuisine and it doesn't even have a dish it does well. It just serves food. In the land of concept restaurants it's hard to rap your head around this place. You could call this a steakhouse, but it doesn't do that well, it just charges a lot for steaks, the cheapest one was $45 for a 7oz Filet and the most expensive was...$98 for a 40 oz Ribeye for 2 ppl *Sidenote* They bring out this drink menu and all of the drinks are $20. ALL OF THEM. Just order a regular drink if you're not in the mood for those 'hand-crafted' cocktails.
They lost a star, mostly b/c the entrees were marginal. Nothing screamed "eat me" and the server was nice as a peach, but a little dim. Anyway, for the price of 2 entrees we got 4 items- Teryaki wings, Kobe sliders w/ fries, wedge salad and hash browns. The wings were spicy, the sliders were juicy, the wedge was NOT a wedge and the hash browns were a flavorful, although a little burnt. I was hungry and between drinking and talking I filled up pretty fast. It's amazing how dinner doesn't have to be 3 courses nowadays.
UNION won't be the first on my list of places to recommend only because it doesn't stand out in any category: price, food, location, service, ambiance..., but it was a great experience.
