| - UNION has great food! UNION has a fun atmosphere! UNION has friendly service! No, I'm not shouting! UNION is spelled out in all caps - maybe it has a superiority complex, but maybe it should! To tell the truth, not only does UNION score high marks on all areas, there are other specific reasons why you should eat here:
1) American food in a comfortable yet elegant setting.
It was my girlfriend's birthday, and she just wanted to just dine at a café because she didn't want anything so fancy. PLEASE, we're in Vegas!! So I looked at the Aria hotel's restaurant list, skipped all the "casual dining" options, along with the "specialty" Asian, Italian, Steakhouse, and uppity American restaurants. As I came across the description of UNION, I knew this was the perfect spot: "spirited, edgy, contemporary-American restaurant & lounge..." Aww yeah!
2) Big A$$ Round Tables.
Our group consisted of seven people, so usually this means sitting at a rectangular table where you won't get to conversate with your peeps sitting at the end. Not so at UNION! Because of the round table, sharing food was convenient, toasting our shot glasses was a cinch, and chatting with everyone was easy, fo-sheezy!
3) The Viva Elvis Menu.
Come here before 7pm and order from their $49 Viva Elvis menu...all the faves are on it, and you'll be stuffed, guaranteed! You get a choice of appetizer, main course + side, and dessert. The choices were so intriguing it took our group forever to figure out what we wanted! I ordered the King Crab & Jalapeno taco for my app (the taro chip taco shell was major!), the Chilean Sea Bass (but I really ordered it for the risotto in lobster broth!), and the most rich, chocolatey cake I've ever had in my entire LIFE! And I was amazed at the 7 layers - I wish I was able to take that home & have it for breakfast the next day, I really needed a glass of milk with it!
The merits of UNION should be shouted from the rooftops...it does deserve to be in all caps!
