We were there during Restaurant Week so were only given a Fixed Menu. The choices were good and our wait staff was excellent. We also were a party of ten and were given a private room. Very nice and less noisy.

This was the first time we had dinner at Union Park. Very Nice Restaurant! Loved the Lobster and my husband’s Steak was cooked perfectly. We Will definitely be revisiting. *One side note My husband and I prefer to not drink wine out of a long stem wine glass so I used the water/Bar glass instead. Our waitress MADE SURE We knew we used the wrong glasses for our wine and felt the need to correct us! I just smiled at her and explained why we did what WE LIKED and thanked Shirley for OVERstating the obvious. My Tip to her reflected OUR appreciation of her need to belittle her Guests.

We stopped visiting a few years back because we felt money for quality and value was not there. Being restaurant week we gave it another try. Apps and dessert were just OK, but when it came to the main course it was pretty bad. Food was luke warm. The NY strip I ordered rare was raw. Rare and raw are not the same! Potatoes were not cold but not hot. We tried it again and hoped it would make our usual rotation of Grana, Wash Inn and occasionally Peter Shields, but we will not be back. We don’t send food back and they were extremely busy so we paid our check and were on our way.
