Arrived on a Friday evening at 6:30. Restaurant was closed and no hours posted. Google is wrong so who knows when this place is... actually open at all. As a tourist to the area, this is disappointing. Read more
Loved the atmosphere & the menu looks amazing and is priced reasonably. Very friendly service! Despite my review below I will... go back to try again hoping it improves. Sadly everything I ordered (on multiple visits) was overcooked. With the exception ofthe fries and onion rings - which I liked a lot. The burger was very dry which was a huge let down, sliders were as well. Briewas fried so long that there was hardly cheese left inside the batter. My friends chicken burger was dry with a very very darkburnt batter. Fish tacos had a lot of potential but we're dry (could be from quality of the fish vs being overcookedperhaps). The menu was also out of several options and there was no liquor for cocktails, which I find very surprising. And alack of knowledge about the types of beer on tap. Just knowing the name of the beer but not the brewery it comes from or thetype isn't usually that helpful. I hope with time the knowledge and cooking improves as I really loved the atmosphere and themenu choices are great on paper. Read more
My wife and I tried to have supper at this establishment August 13th 2021. The half doors that allow you into the restaurant... were closed. There was a private function in the back room, and nobody else in the restaurant. One of the server's told us thatthey weren't taking any more customers because they had the staff reserved for this private function. Almost an entirerestaurant empty, and they were turning away customers. Union East also operates a functional Facebook page, however didn't careto make the public aware on that page that you couldn't actually eat there if you wanted to. The server told us that they don'tdo that ????. I mean, I love to have my time wasted and all, but that's just ludicrous. There was also a flight that had justlanded. I wonder how many customers they had to turn away that night. We were told to make a reservation next time. But therewon't be a next time. Abysmal way to run a business. They clearly don't care about making money Read more
We had a lovely dinner here recently; the service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and the food was excellent. The... menu, though small-ish, is quite varied and well-executed. Great atmosphere, surrounded by the town?s aviation history, withflexible space that doesn?t make it feel as if you?re just killing time waiting for your gate to be called. Very reasonablepricing for drinks and dishes alike. Read more
Had supper here with a friend and had a great experience. Super friendly staff, and great food. We both had the fish & chips and... loved it. The fries are some of the best I've ever had. Would definitely recommend it. Pricing is comparable to other mid-rangerestaurants in the area. Read more
Overall poor experience. Food was over priced for the quality, very much so. Main course was brought out before we even came... close to finishing the appetizers. The fact I ordered the burger made this worse as the burger was huge and it was brought outin about 5 minutes. Obviously previously cooked. One star only because the beer was good. The server was also poor. She hadno idea of the menus and because there was no alcohol Menes she brought over the bulletin board from the bar with the beerwritten on it. I assume this place is going to rely on travellers and not locals. Won?t be going back Read more
Unbelievable service, unfortunately the kitchen timings are hit and miss but they just re-opened with a new menu I think and are... working out the kinks. Fries dressed with gravy will have me back over and over again. Read more
