    We loved Union Park. We were 8 high school friends who had come to the shore for the weekend. I have eaten at Union Park many times Many restaurants limit their menus for this promotion, but not Union Park. They put their entire menu on, which was very impressive. When we arrived, the lovely hostess informed us that she had loved our note of who we were -- so she gave us a private room. The room was lovely, the service friendly and impeccable, and the food was superb. Each of us tried something different and everyone was delighted. From start to finish the meal was exceptional. We all loved the white tablecloth service, the delicious food and the kindness. We will all return to Union Park, and recommend it to others!

    We went for restaurant week. Ordered the Tuna Tartar and bay scallops, both were excellent! Then for entrees we got the Lobster and the Lamb. The lobster was a surprisingly big portion and was cooked perfectly. Finished with the Crème Brule and Mousse. Creme Brule was amazing! All in all a very very good meal.
