    When the waitress first came to the table she said we are out of 2 entrees and no Caesar salad. I asked if there was any other salad, she said no. I said how about soup. No soup. She said that it was there last night opened for the season so they were out of a lot. I got the filet. When it came it was very small so I asked the waitress about that and she said that they are 6 ounce. I’m sorry but that’s a small filet not saying it on the menu. Needless to say we were very disappointed.

    We've been dining at Union Park for decades. We love everything about it. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent and, especially if you're staying at the Macomber, the location can't be beat. The manager, Bob, is very flexible. If he can accommodate your request, he will.

    My husband and I had a nice dinner at Union Park about a year ago and decided to dine there again. Unfortunately, our second time there was not as good. We got 3 appetizers to share and 2 entrees. The Foie Gras was the only good item from the menu. The short rib was very bland and the green beens were undercooked. The wine is not good, so definitely bring your own.

    This was our first time at Union Park. We got there and there was an early dinner menu with a prefix. My husband and I chose to order off the prefix and we were very pleased with the speed of the service the quality of the food, the ambience of the restaurant. Our waiter was not very friendly. He was not Nasty. He just was non-descriptive which kinda impacted a little bit of the experience, but not enough to give a poor rating overall A+ can’t wait to go back.
