Waterfront - Union

The grounds are beautiful, if you have a moment to walk thru make sure you do so. Our server was great and seating is comfortable. The dining room is open and most tables have a view of the dock, waterfront, and mountains. The food was great, expertly prepared from the duck to the berry crisp dessert with ice cream. My only complaint was the noise. The main dining room is VERY loud, to the point it's difficult to have an intimate chat.

Update: Try going to the Union Square Deli! Food twice as good at half the cost! In a word: Uninspired. In another word: bleh. We ate here 2 years ago and were blown away by the wide breadth of amazing food on the menu. We spent as much on the food as we did the accommodations and were perfectly happy for it! At the end of our stay we were inspired to give our personal thanks to the chef! Well, that chef is gone and it was painfully obvious even before we confirmed it. Got the Louis salad, and I doubt anything was prepared by the kitchen except for the cutting of the lettuce and toppings. It was disgusting so much that even though I came in hungry I lost my appetite and couldn 't eat more than a single prawn and square of lettuce (each bitr of which I regretted). Got the $24 hamburger next, and I 'd place it between a big Mac and the signature McDonald 's burgers. It was served cold, as were the fries. It felt like it had been sitting out for at least 15 mins before being served. On the bright side, we enjoyed the Railroad cocktail, but the drinks are not enough to pull us back. In short, we will not be returning for more insanely expensive **** on a plate.

Our overall experience was great. Especially the view and the service. Some of our food matched that quality and some did not. The Halibut was a wonderful dish, cooked beautifully and well seasoned. My friend who ordered the ribeye was impressed with the cook. Very hard to get right in a restaurant. The bolognese was pretty good, but more tomato and ricotta than meat. The fried oysters were tender and crunchy, but almost no sauce on the plate. Disappointing. The ceasar salad had a quality white anchovy, but almost no flavor or dressing beyond that. A bowl of crispy romaine. The duck entree had great accompaniments in the beans and frisee. However, the duck itself had flabby skin and a 1/3 layer of fat I had to cut off. Additionally, it wasn't seasoned. The ice cream was very light and airy, and light on flavor as well. A shame the food didn't all measure up, but with that view and great service we still had a lovely evening.

All of the best in the most beautiful venue. Best in show. Make your day special and go to Alderbrook.

This was a delightful surprise. The reviews weren't fantastic and I hadn't planned on dining here but we arrived too late and it was the best and closest option at a later hour. To my pleasant and unexpected surprise it was a fantastic experience. The food was delish (black cod pictured), bread and butter topped with sea salts for the table, the drinks on point (paper plane-pictured, sauv blanc, good drafts according to the bf), and great service with Zach (I think was his name). Oh and the food came out really fast! The shrimp was tasty but actually just reminded me of walnut shrimp you can get at any Chinese restaurant. The restaurant and property are also a great part of the experience. I highly recommend making this a stop especially to celebrate something special. Regarding the 20% comment in other reviews, our server was upfront in explaining it, it all made sense, I nearly always tip at least 20% anyhow as I once was a server so I'm fine with it. Everyone is doing their best to get through these challenging times, just go with it. If 20% makes such a big difference to you, you should consider staying home to prepare your food, serve it, clean up after yourself, and not be exposed during covid which is what all of these staff are doing for the community. Thank you to those holding up our restaurants!!
