Restaurants near Union Park

We had an amazing meal last evening at Elske! We chose the “Set Menu” option to get a sampling of all the different options and we were not disappointed. Each course was unique and delicious and, although small plates, we were pleasantly full at the end of the meal. The ambiance was cozy and buzzy without being too loud. The service was kind, prompt and knowledgeable. They let me try a couple of red wines to have with my beef course! Overall, the experience was awesome and well worth the trek into the city!! Highly recommended!!!

Drinks: Tomato & Pepper, Lemongrass Highball - we loved both but the tomato and pepper was a beautiful surprise. Sweet and refreshing. Mezze/appetizer: Hummus - phenomenal flavor. We were so impressed with the texture, temperature, depth. I only wish there were enough pita chips to enjoy all of the hummus. Pita chip ratio was off balance. Pasta: Pesto Pistachio - delicious but could use more depth in flavor and overall more protein-included items for the cost Carne: Chicken Vesuvio - absolutely delicious, wouldn't change a thing Service: our server was kind but we did find ourselves waiting for them to come around and check on us. Ambiance: beautiful decor & vibe. Again, wouldn't change a thing.

Cool and eclectic atmosphere. Creative but grounded menu. Looking forward to trying at a time when i’m not overstuffed from late lunch.

Had a great dinner. The French onion soup was delicious. So often this type of soup is very salty. This one was seasoned perfectly. The burger was juicy and delicious. Definitely want to return. My only criticism is on a rainy evening, it wasn't clear where one could park. We wound up finding a spot on Randolph. If most of the clientele are taking an Uber, then I guess it doesn't matter. For suburbanites, it's a good thing we know the city.

Nice place and nice crowd, great bar tenders. A must visit
