GUARANTEED GREAT MEAL, SOUTH END

Union opened in the fall of 2003, and right from the get go became one of the deep South End's greatest success stories. This smart, sleek, incredibly chic restaurant and bar anticipated the emerging trend toward casual neighborhood eateries a cut above the so-called family joints. Chef Stephen Sherman produces consistently excellent American bistro fare. His roasted organic salmon is unbeatable, and the banana cream pie with deep spicy Valrhona chocolate is orgasmic. But on top of the superb food, one of Union's greatest strengths is the seating. They have the most lusciously comfortable banquettes ever, from which you can admire the unbelievably attractive, high-profile crowd.
