Well after reading so many wonderful reviews of this place, we thought that it must be a hidden gem in our neighbourhood, and after a couple of days of looking at the menu online and salivating, we decided to pack up the kids and go to Union Social Eatery.
First mistake was bringing the kids. Though there is a kids menu the environment wasn't exactly kid-friendly. The host kept seating people near us, who then promptly asked to be moved.
My wife was perturbed that on the website there is a gluten-free menu, but in the restaurant there is no hard copy of said menu. The waiter did rattle off the bulk of the gluten free menu, but my wife still had to resort to using her iphone to look at the menu online.
I had the thai red curry bowl. It was ok, but not the kind of meal that makes angels cheer, maybe the other yelpers had set my expectations too high. I've had much better thai curries - in thai restaurants.
My wife had the gluten-free club, which she said was ok, but not amazing.
For dessert we had ice cream. Good old fashioned vanilla ice cream.
The union experience was ok, but we aren't in a hurry to repeat.
