   Beautiful restaurant. Food was good- was a little disappointed with my pasta dish, but everything else was very good. The brioche side was delicious and the s'mores trifle was to die for.

    Great food and service. Plenty of distance between tables for safety and privacy. A pleasant atmosphere and decor, although the chairs were a bit uncomfortable after a few hours. We had cocktails, cheeseboard, and two seafood meals, both were fantastic. We didn’t have room for dessert, but enjoyed a coffee and tea after our dinner. In a city with lots of options for a great dinner, this was a bit on the pricey side.

    Our brunch at Union was a very pleasant experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating - I was meeting friends and we'd come from long distances, so we arrived on the late side and were seated without any problem, and allowed to stay long after brunch was over. It was a real plus to be able to make a reservation - so many brunch spots make you wait, which is not what we wanted to do on a very cold, mid-Covid-surge Sunday afternoon. Social distancing and masking were enforced, but not in a heavy-handed way. The food was excellent. The only drawbacks were that my favorite menu item, red flannel hash (which I've previously found only in Berkeley) was sold out; the mushroom toast was yummy but served with 4 times the amount of bread I normally eat in a day (note to self...); on the other hand, my friend's poached egg was perfect! On a busier day during the high season this might be a completely different scenario, but off-season it's a real find!

    The service was awkward. We made a reservation for 2 but were seated at a 4 top right next to the server stand. She was constantly standing right next to us throughout our dinner. Not romantic/private/enjoyable. The 3 course Christmas dinner was not advertised on their website. It was not worth $85/person. My salmon was quite small and the white bean soup with it was flavorless. My boyfriend's sirloin was good & his sides tasty, but still not worth the price. The apple pie dessert looked beautiful but again was lacklustre. I don't really leave negative reviews but I was significantly disappointed with the food for the price we paid. Maybe their regular menu is better.

    Overall, an excellent meal. We would definitely go back and recommend Union to others. Zoey, our server, was terrific! Very festive decorations and lots of space between tables. Staff all wore masks. Felt very safe. Highly, highly recommend the Brussels Sprouts, the lentil dish and the spicy clam and sausage appetizer. Was a little disappointed in the buttermilk biscuits. We have had them before and they were amazing. They were okay this time, but not piping hot and not amazing. Bottom line - I would definitely plan a meal at Union!

    UnionResponded on January 7, 2022Thank you for your review! We take the safety of our guests and our staff very seriously and have strict cleaning and spacing protocols. I am glad you felt comfortable in our space. Zoey is pretty great too, we are lucky to have her!

    As we walked in, this place felt like just the special treat we were looking for, not having visited Portland in so long. The staff was very welcoming, personal, gracious, and very efficient. The food was beautifully presented and worth every bite --and every penny, though it wasn't too expensive. Union may count on return visits and recommendations to friends from us. Thanks so much for the lovely experience.

    I had the corned beef hash for brunch. It was not like any hash I’ve ever had. Made w very large chunks of corned beef and almost whole fingerling potatoes. Very greasy. The corned beef was good but the whole dish was faintly disgusting. The white toast on the side was bizarre. Weird taste - an odd sandwich loaf. Was expecting a crispy slice from an artisan boule or sourdough. Si I asked to replace it w an English muffin. That tasted awful too. Clearly not my day for Union. My waitress and service were great.

    I've been to Union many times, this was probably my 5th or 6th time, but will likely be my last. I've dined at their Ink Well (bar) and the main restaurant. The food tends to spot on and affordable and the ambiance is excellent, but the service can be really sketchy. The Ink Well had a male bartender who was unaccountably rude/hostile, one who seriously once told me that they were too busy to take my food order and a server walking by overheard, stopped, and kindly took our order. A month ago, I dined at Union with a couple friends. My food was outstanding, but my friend's hake was undercooked and unappetizing. They did remake the dish and did a better time the next go around. This last time (yesterday), I had brunch there with a friend. We had a reservation. The main restaurant was not too busy. However, we did not receive our food until close to *45 minutes* after ordering. We arrived hungry and as time went by and our server was MIA, we both grew frustrated. When our food finally arrived by the hostess, I inquired the reason for the delayed service and was informed that they had a special event upstairs that the kitchen was catering. My friend's dish was lukewarm...it was their Red Flannel Hash dish for brunch, served on a skillet cool to the touch upon arrival. I ordered their mushroom toast, which was served with a poached egg with aioli sauce. It was a good dish, but I'm done with Union. Portland is chalked full of outstanding restaurants and this was their third strike for me as a diner (hostile barkeep, undercooked fish, and now unacceptably slow service). I'll pass. Batson River Brewery/Distillery does an outstanding brunch service.

    Stopped by for brunch on a Sunday. Had read the consistent highly positive reviews and looked forward to a nicely curated meal. Ordered the spicy chicken sandwich which arrived open faced on a nondescript bun. After assembling the sandwich I bit into a fairly rubbery and tasteless slab of meat rescued only in part by the spicy mayonnaise. The chicken looked/tasted like 2 pieces of a thigh that had been poached/steamed. But it had none of the richness one associated with dark meat. And it most certainly was not a chicken breast unless Union is sourcing horrifically aged chicken breasts (perhaps layers well past their productive years?). All in all a sadly disappointing meal. With hindsight I wish I had taken a photo to buttress this review as I am certain Union will dispute the veracity of my description. When I am next in Portland I will try their dinner menu to see if their brunch offerings are the poor cousins of an otherwise fine restaurant.
