Union Kitchen provided us with a delightful and plentiful array of omelets for a Sunday Brunch. Our server who also was the hostess/manager was very pleasant and responsive. I chose scrambled eggs with some cheddar cheese and the eggs were soft and if such a word applies - yummy! My husband and nephew selected the Norwegian Omelet, which glistened with freshness and a decorative as well as bright, green salad. The omelet provided us with ample Norwegian salmon atop an appealing fold of eggs. Our fourth guest, a lovely friend, enjoyed the Seacoast Mushroom Omelet, a treat for the palette and for the eyes with again, a bountiful serving of eggs and of mushrooms. Each of us also had freshly squeezed orange juice, a rare treat, and a welcome one. We hope that the restaurant, which is surrounded by many in the Center, will flourish. A suggestiion or two for the manager/owner - while chutney jam was a unique and tasty choice of jams for my English Muffin, a broader selection of jams would be a nice addition. Also, if some tables were clustered together more versus lined up in rows, I think the ambiance would be more cozy . Last, the Parker Rolls with cheese were delicious and again a unique addition to the omelets but a broader choice of breads would be welcome.

Meals were a mix of over or under cooked. The menu was limited. Previous menu was better as was the previous chef.

Hi Derek, I am sorry about your experience with us last night. I have reached out to you privately to discuss further. I would love to make this up to you as we have enjoyed having you and your guests dine with us in the past. Best, Jill

We felt this was not the same restaurant we visited during the late spring. All of us ( 2 couples with 3 children) were disappointed with the food quality except the burgers. We also feel the wine is way overpriced . If you are going to charge that much for a glass of wine the quality better be good . Sadly we won’t attend again

Hi Anne, I'm sorry you did not have a great experience last night, I can understand how frustrating it is to go to a restaurant and be wowed only to return months later and be disappointed. We really want to make it up to you though and hope we can welcome you once again. I reached out privately to try to fix last night's issues. Cheers, Dylan
