| - I've had a decade (or more) long love and hate relationship with the Union Grill. The "hate" part was always directed towards their "rules". Rules like, 'your entire party must be here before you're seated', and 'if you share food their is a dollar up charge' ...etc., etc. While I haven't been affected by these rules lately, and I'm not even sure if they still exist, I'll stick to the "love" part of my relationship with Union Grill.
If you're in Oakland visiting the Carnegie Museums, or Pitt, CMU, or on business, this is a great place to have a long lunch. If you're a local business person, the Union Grill is more of a place to go occasionally as a treat to yourself. Unless you're accustomed to eating large lunches and dropping $15-$20 for lunch, than it's not somewhere you'd become a regular.
I tried something new off the menu today, roasted beet sliders. Probably not a go to choice for most, but I am a beet fan, and I also like mini sized sandwiches, so score for me! The beets were topped with feta, red onions, and spinach and were pretty darn good. I also had a cup of delicious onion soup. This, along with an iced tea, came to $16. That is why I don't make this my, I-forgot-to-pack-my-lunch-and-need-to-eat-out destination.
