D efinitely different says my com- panion as we sit down at Union in Portlands Press Hotel. He worked for the Maine Sunday Telegram at this loca- tion for 27 years. The restaurant occupies an airy space on the ground floor of the former Gannett news- paper headquarters now one of Marriotts upscale Autograph Collection hotels. We begin with the charcuterie plate 17 a substantial offering of three locally cured meats accompanied by good grilled bread fennel mustard and pickled veggies. This with a fine IPA like Baxters Stowa- way 5 can could serve as a satisfying re- past. We opt however for a wonderfully sat- isfying wine Michel Picard Vouvray 30. The chefs tasting menu 55 for three courses 79 for five leaps off the page with three headliners. The first pt de foie is beautifully presented. Accompaniments in- clude incredibly tasty tiny pickled mustard seeds black truffle vinegar in little drops on the pretty black slate and a tasty brio- che crouton. Next up native beet salada bountiful bowl of perfectly cooked red and golden beets glowing atop a delectable dressing of local yogurt curry oil and ginger emulsion. This dish alone is proof the Union lives up to its self described farm to table hotspot. Our carnivore lust is indulged by Chef Josh Berrys smoked sirloin of beef with a nice rare middle. The whole plate works wonderfully with the smallest tastiest baked potatoes again farm freshness ex- quisitely browned cauliflower red cabbage puree and a sinfully rich blue cheese glac. Desserts like everything at Union are a sight to behold and devour. The chef outdoes himself again with a gorgeous array includ- ing autumn squash pudding cinnamon ge- lato burnt sunflower butter pumpkin puree and whipped maple syrup. We finish by plunging into the Bees Knees 9 a light pistachio cake with heav- enly lavender gelato honey brown butter honey powder and local bee pollen. A memorable experience on all counts. Be sure to make reservations well in ad- vance though the full menu is also available at the very comfortable bar seating. n Union Restaurant390 Congress St.Portland.Open 7am-10pm dailySunday brunch12-3808-8700 or thepresshotel.com
