We love the concept of farm fresh foods being served exclusively, so we were pretty excited about checking out Union. Being placed at the dining bar by the kitchen was fun as you could watch the chefs in action. The overall atmosphere of the place was a lot more casual then I was expecting.
I just wish the food delivered as well as it should have. Perhaps our expectations had been drawn high when we heard about the concept, saw the prices and watched the chefs at work.
The best dish of the night was the skate. The skin was crisp and the fish tender. Overall the elements on the plate worked so well together and the meal just tasted light and refreshing.
On the other hand, the stick ribs felt heavy and the sauce was far too sweet to really enjoy it.
The mussels were ok. They had a bit of grit to them and the sauce had a slightly strange aftertaste to me.
Dessert was a delicious ginger (or toffee?) cake. Moist and gooey.
All in all just ok. If you're charging this much for food every dish needs to deliver. I can't eat a dish thinking I can make something similar, better at home.
