Union Station Banquets

I just had my wedding at Union Station and couldn’t have been happier with our venue choice. The food was delicious and we love the space! There was about 140 people at our wedding and we had plenty of space (17 tables and we sat at a sweetheart table). Steve was excellent to work with. He was very accommodating, relaxed, and professional. We appreciate everything that he did for us– he was there that night and made sure we always had everything that we needed. They let us make our own centerpieces and add to their decorations, they even hung some lights for us. We were able to get into the room the day before to set up which was really nice. The bar and wait staff were also excellent. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone!

We hosted our son and daughter in law’s wedding rehearsal dinner for 25 people in the small function room with the lovely wooden bar. Venue is beautiful, service perfect, food delicious.
Steve was very easy to work with and promptly responded to any questions that we had.
Everyone raved about this venue. Also they have a beautiful baby grand piano if you know someone that can play! I would highly recommend this venue.

The Union Station Restaurant has been closed for some time. When we stopped by to see if it was open, we found the building looking sad and empty. There was an outdoor bar open on the patio of this former train station, but it was not associated with the former Union Station. So we walked over to the Eastside Grill and had a good meal.

Yum! Went to Union Station for a Sunday brunch and it was delicious. They had something for everyone. There was everything from omelet and carving stations, shrimp, salads, traditional breakfast foods, pasta salads and a variety of amazing desserts. The everything I ate was well cooked, presented well, and the wait staff was informative about the food and dishes available.

I was treated to a Birthday dinner, at Union Station recently. My companions who invited me, were regular customers. For me, the Birthday dinner was my first visit.
The décor inside was rustic, yet elegant. The large dining room features lots of wood paneling, high ceilings, and even a big fireplace. My Birthday is during the Christmas season, in mid-​December. And so the place was all decked-​out with holiday decorations, including a Christmas tree. I thought that was a nice touch.
We all decided to get a table by the fireplace, which was warm and cheery. The friendly waitress, quickly brought us some baskets
of warm rolls and butter. We noshed on those, while we decided what to order. The rolls were good, but not extraordinary. We also ordered drinks.
They enjoyed some wine. I went whole-​hog, and ordered a small bottle of Champaign. It was bubbly, refreshing, and had a nice tart finish.
They have a generous salad bar, and you can also have soup
with your meal. I ordered French Onion soup, which arrived piping hot. The steaming broth came chocked-​full of rich, carmelized onions. It was topped-​off with crusty croutons, which were blanketed with creamy, melted Mozzerella cheese. It was a marvelous taste treat.
For my main Entrée, I decided on the salmon and Filet Minon plate. The salmon was grilled, and had a fresh, bright flavor. It was tender, flaky, and subtly seasoned with garlic and herbs.
I ordered the Filet Minon cooked medium-​well. I could taste a hint of olive-​oil, which they must have sauteed the steak in. When I cut into it,
it was slightly pink in the center, and fork-​tender. It was succulent with
juices, and melted in my mouth. I really enjoyed every bite!
The side dishes that came with it, were garlic mashed potatoes, and steamed veggies. The veggies tasted a bit bland, but they were crisp.
The garlic mashed potatoes were infused with savory, chopped garlic. They were fluffy, yet filling. Just like mashed potatoes should be.
I was really too full for dessert. But I wanted to try something. So, I split
a whopping slice of warm apple pie, with my companions. It came topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-​cream. The waitress even put a lit Birthday candle on it, which was very thoughtful of her.
My dining experience at Union Station, was wonderful. I intend to go back, when I get a chance. They have another restaurant inside, called
Spaghetti Freddy’s. I’ll plan on eating there, next time I go. I recommend
Union Station, for those that want quality food, great service, and a congenial dining atmosphere.
