The service is always enthusiastic, friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. That alone makes the evening enjoyable. The food is well-prepared, the menu is varied and wine/cocktails are excellent. If you appreciate the above, it’s very well worth it

Went in for a late lunch on a cold day. Harry’s was packed but festive for the Christmas holiday. Service was fast and the meal was very tasty. Blackened shrimp tacos were light and flavorful. Short ribs with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts were delicious

We've been dining at Union Park for decades. We love everything about it. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent and, especially if you're staying at the Macomber, the location can't be beat. The manager, Bob, is very flexible. If he can accommodate your request, he will.
