I really would love to see this place do well. My husband and I checked Union Grill & Tap out after seeing it featured on an Instagram account I follow. The decor is trendy and updated. The dining room is spacious and ready to fill up on fight or game nights. I didn't try any beer or wine tonight but their drink menu is local and interesting.
For an appetizer we ordered the bruschetta. It was piled high and very flavorful. I love how much they try to pack on that piece of bread. As long as you don't mind your bruschetta a little messy it is perfect. The brie and fig elevate the flavors and make it a touch above your typical bruschetta.
I got the Union Loaf. This is a vegetarian version of meatloaf served with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. I have to say it was absolutely delicious I am a meat lover and I didn't miss the meat at all. Great texture, very flavorful. I wasn't crazy about the gravy but it was still good, just not great. The veggies were seasoned well and not over cooked.
My husband got the fish and chips. He liked the buttermilk crust and the fish was well cooked, moist, and flaky. It didn't feel overly fried or greasy.
Since they only opened yesterday I was kind of expecting service to be spotty and issues in the kitchen to be apparent. NOT SO. our waitress Leslie was amazing and prompt. She regularly surveyed us for our opinion and was generally interested in any constructive criticism. Our food came quickly and at the appropriate temperature.
We are excited to return!
