When Union first opened, it participated in the 25 for $25 promo. That was a bargain beyond bargains that, unfortunately, likely won't occur again. Get the tasting menu--it's a foodie bargain $40 or $50 or whatever they're charging now. Relative to the average price of a sophisticated dinner in Seattle (e.g. Lark), it's a value. The menu is always changing, but what I do recall loving was the English pea soup. Young chef Ethan Stowell is an inventive guy. I loved a few of the dishes, and some were just decent, but nothing really turned me off. Seattle needs more such restaurants for true food lovers.
When some foodie friends of mine first took me, it was still somewhat unknown, which is probably why they participated in the 25 for $25. Well, the secret's out now as I saw it named in Esquire's 2004 list of top new restaurants in America. Good for a pre/post symphony meal.
