    We are returning customers. We were very disappointed with the last visit. I went with a waitress recommend dish of an elk chop. It was described as more tender than a filet. I was grisly and full of tendons. My wife ordered Salmon, which was supposed to have a crab meat topping, but came as plain broiled piece of Salmon. Note: They charged $7 for artisan bread, so if the waitress asks you “ would you like bread? ” you will be billed for it . The Bread was chewy and cold, dinner rolls (Like the ones found in Aldi’s ($1.99 a dozen) They were out of several items on the printed desert menu. Having patronized Union Park for many years (Which include large family reunion dinners ) I expected a certain level of service and food quality for the prices being charged. I do not think I will be returning

    We dine at Union Park every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and greatly enjoy the experience. The dining room is lovely, the variety of the dishes on the menu is excellent, and the service is outstanding. Servers Shirley and Ron are stars! My husband and I were pleased to each have two appetizers and share a Brussels Sprouts special instead of ordering two main courses, and the servings were more than adequate. We also liked being able to bring our own wine. If you are in Cape May, be sure to enjoy a meal at the excellent Union Park restaurant.
