★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica Mendoza · Nov 2025

This place absolutely blew me away. For starters we tried the mussels with french fries and aioli dip, pumpkin bisque, and the maple oatmeal bread with maple brown butter. Every single bite was perfection. For our entrees, the mushroom tagliatelle, and veal ragù were rich, flavorful, and beautifully plated. We topped it all off with some Walnut Block wine, pure heaven! It was my first time in Maine, and fell in love. The food, the flavors, the ambience, everything was incredible. Watching the chefs work in the open kitchen felt like being part of a live Netflix cooking show. I’m officially obsessed.

We went for my birthday and it was cute they gave a birthday card signed from the staff. Atmosphere was amazing really clean and modern. Waitress was alright, mostly didn't seem to want to be there. When trying to interact about drink she didn't offer much insight. The appetizer was really good, we got the bang island mussels and the drinks were good but not what we asked of the server. My husband ordered the braised rib gnucci and I got the ny steak strip with added scallops. As I started it seemed fine but as I ate a few more pieces it was extremely salty to a point I couldnt even feel my tongue and stopped eating. My husband's food was well done, amazing taste. Unfortunately I just couldn't enjoy anything further because of my taste buds being burned by salt. For a high end restaura

Loved the ambience, with printing press decor touches, at this restaurant. Food tasted fairly good. Service was prompt and courteous. We went for both dinner and breakfast. Staying at the Press hotel, this was a convenient eatery.

Our Valentine's dinner at Union was delicious! If I could give 4.5 stars I would. Service was excellent: prompt and available when needed without being overbearing or disruptive. The atmosphere is very nice, a mix of brutalist lines and natural materials, and managed to keep volume levels low. The food was excellent - good portion sizes that left us pleasantly full without being overstuffed and didn't feel overpriced for what we got. We chose the Prix Fixe Valentine's menu and both loved our entrées. My husband's scallops were perfectly cooked, and the delicata squash that came with my cod was some of the best I've had. Drinks were good, with a diverse menu that had something for everyone. We both enjoyed our cocktails and they complimented the meal nicely.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Derek Wilcox · Dec 2024

We tried this restaurant before a show a Merrill Auditorium. First, it has a great atmosphere and location. Very trendy and upscale. We sat at the bar because we didn't have reservations. We ordered several cocktails which all tasted great. However, the two bar tenders were working the whole restaurant and seemed very overwhelmed. It took a long time to get their attention on several occasions. We ordered raw oysters which tasted fine but many of them had little bits of shell inside, poor shucking. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with duck egg, which tasted great! However, we waited well over an hour for our meals and were 20 minutes late to our show, despite being assured by the waitstaff that our meals would be out in plenty of time. Overall, I was pretty disappointed considering how e
