240 Union Restaurant

I've passed 240 Union several times since moving to the area and had been interested in trying it since I moved to the area. My boyfriend and I seldom eat out but I wanted to celebrate a recent promotion. The food was impeccable. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere. The service however, was extremely disappointing. The drink that I ordered was entirely too strong and I ended up letting most of it go to waste. I understand that from the point of view of a waiter a couple of twenty-somethings may not tip well however, that shouldn't have an impact on how they are treated. I don't remember getting his name, but if he did give it we didn't see him enough to make it stick. All in all it was an okay dinner. The people around us seemed to have a good time. We will most likely not return for a second visit.

Date night: Sat. Oct 5th, 6 p.m. reservation. First impression, great restaurant makeover very nice atmosphere, hostess was very professional, groomed well and upbeat. Waiter was also well groomed and friendly.

Dinner started with calamari, tempura was cooked perfectly and the sauce tasted very familiar and then I realized I had some at home. Roasted pineapple and habanero sauce purchased at Costco. I wanted to order outside my comfort zone, hence D lobster tail, beautiful presentation, green beans and mashed potatoes were great, my poor lobster covered in so much panko crust got lost.:( On the upside my husbands swordfish was wonderful as was the crème brulee.

This was the first visit back in many years and we will return two more times.

I love this place, I was taken here on my birthday. They have a wonderful dining room and very courteous and attentive staff. A great place for a nice dinner out.
