Union Social Eatery

I've been to this place before and had quite a pleasurable experience. I came back for the last evening of Winterlicious. I made a reservation and they seated my self and one other person right away. It took over 25 minutes for a waiter to come check in. After one did (she apologized for the wait and said she wasn't even supposed to be our waitress) then 5 minutes later someone else came (over 30 mins total). The restaurant had some tables but it really wasn't too busy. The meal took a VERY long time to come out. The only decent thing was the Apetizers, but the food took so long to come it wasnt worth sending it back and waiting for more. The dessert did come quickly. Both meals were plain and tasted like nothing special. They were able to accommodate for a gluten allergy. I was disappointed since I have had such good experiences there before.

Our party of 7 came in for an early dinner, when the restaurant was pretty empty. Many food items are made from scratch, which I appreciate - Fries made from fresh potatoes are always a sign of high quality in my opinion. I like the separate Vegetarian; Gluten Free, etc. menu they offer. Service was slow and unprofessional; each one of us got our order in a different time. The most hungry member of our party got their food last which made all of us feel uncomfortable. Special requests we had weren't delivered ( for example vegan mayo was forgotten), the food got cold by the time the forgotten items were delivered. We had a guest in our party we wanted to honour and felt bad for the experience we gave them. The food is fine and I recommend going to Union as a casual place in a small group.
