We sat at the bar. Our bartender was great. As we were tourists, he gave us great recommendations for our trip. The chicken entree was one of the best I've had anywhere. Hubby enjoyed the smash burger. The atmosphere is very nice, the restaurant is set in a former house and has indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Excellent restaurant! Three of us stopped in for a wonderful enjoyable dinner. We started with an amazing grilled scallop appetizer - two succulent scallops, wood grilled, with red onions and microgreens, dusted with paprika and sesame seeds: amazing! We shared three entrees. Lobster swimming in lobster sauce perched no grits dotted with Tasso ham. Grilled salmon with crispy skin, red beets, roasted carrots. Grilled cauliflower with curried lentils. Delicious food! Excellent service, Comfortable setting. We had a great time! read more

Looking though restaurants that i have yet to review, I was shocked to see that Northern Union was a restaurant that I have not yet rated. Northern Union is a frequent spot of mine and has a lot to offer in the Ogunquit area. I'll start off by saying that the venue is beautiful. There are comfy chairs with tables, traditional sitting arrangements, and high top seating by the small bar. The aesthetic is certainly elevated modernism, but with a nautical flair. The service is always spot on. Each time my partner and I have come, the servers are incredibly knowledgeable and make your experience even better. Given that we have spent multiple anniversaries here, the serving staff always make it a little special by providing either dessert of a glass of prosecco. The food is, again, always amazing. The honest highlight for me is the potato latke with creme fraiche, chives and cavier. It is honestly the best thing on the menu, in my opinion...and for only $8! My partner and I typically get two of these...because it is hard to share it when it is THAT good. I will say, my partner and I typically get a bunch of the appetizers to split, but the entrees are good as well. The entrees typically change with the seasons. I have had halibut, chicken, and pasta dishes, and have never been disappointed. We just typically like the variety of the appetizers, especially since there is a lot to choose from. Lastly, they always have a great wine list, local drafts, and a small curated cocktail list. Northern Union will continue to be a frequent spot, and I definitely suggest to anyone looking for appetizers and some wine for a nice night out! read more

Lovely space (reco sitting inside the well-appointed small nooks of the dining room, not outside - unless you're with a group). The team was a little quirky at first and tentative but found their footing and comfort. Loved our server. The FOOD: very thoughtful flavors, really delicious, nice presentation. Summer tomatoes were balanced perfectly with ricotta and saltiness. Lobster deviled eggs were indiscernible (WAY too much mustard). Chicken: flawless. Lobster: flawless but portion size was skimpy (felt like I was eating 1.5 crawfish). Would definitely return. We should have / probably would have enjoyed the scallop starter and duck entree a bit more. Reco to restaurant: bump up the lobster serving size. Add $5-7 to cover cost. A lot of us are used to paying $29 for a lobster roll on cheap bread in ME. Have more confidence that folks will buy it. It's absolutely delicious! Totally agree with one reviewer that the small little water glasses are silly. I get they should be small to consume less table space but jf they were a bit taller, that'd help. When I went to fill mine, the water jumped right out of the glass onto the table. Suggest increasing height or having the server actually serve the water. read more

Really enjoyed our dinner! We started with a nice focaccia, then moved on to oysters and the beet salad (both excellent!). For mains, we had the salmon and the duck, both of which were very good. Finally wrapped up with a dessert special and the crème brûlée, which were both a tad runny but tasted and looked great. Aside from the food, service was great, wine selection was tasteful, and the wine we drank was excellent. Would definitely come again next time we're in town! read more

Our first time at Northern Union and enjoyed a nice dinner with friends. The outdoor dining looks fantastic, but despite being late June, it was a cold and windy Maine evening, and it was just not in the cards. We were seated at a large table in what seemed like our own room with a nice view outdoors. Atmosphere here is great. Our evening started at the bar, where the bartended mixed up some delicious cocktails, most were twists on some classic cocktails. They all hit the mark. This is somewhat of a small plates, tapas style restaurant if you choose, but we treated it as a traditional menu with appetizers, main course and dessert. The blue corn bread was interesting, but I felt a bit flavorless, and this is coming from a guy who despises over salted and over seasoned food. I went with the vegetarian dish, a buttered carrot torteloni, which was beautiful to look at, but again not much flavor going on. I was starting to worry that I might have lost my sense of taste, but fortunately other dishes were flavorful. Another diner had the halibut which was a very small, but perfectly cooked portion. The NY strip steak was a hit with the diners who tried it. The menu overall is small, but has enough variety for most diners I would say. All in all, this is a nice option in Ogunquit. Service was top notch, dining room is beautiful in and out. read more

Unbelievable culinary experience. I love small plates and basically ordered every appetizer on the menu in lieu of ordering an entree. The food is unmatched anywhere else we have eaten in the area. We come back every year. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable as well. Nice and quiet atmosphere on the porch. I'm a non-drinker and the mocktail was incredible. Well done. read more

Deviled eggs with lobster and caviar? Sign me up! This was a cozy respite on a chilly night, and our server, a seasoned industry expert, made some amazing recommendations. They have an ambitious and curious cocktail program and a stunning menu -- we split the duck ragu orichiette pasta, perfectly al dente and delicious. It was so pleasant and fun to have two different types of housemade brittle with dinner -- one was a chamomile brittle with our beets, outstanding and fresh, and the other was a seaweed brittle with the exceptional sundae, with black sesame and vanilla bean ice creams, both made in house. Can't wait to return! read more

We had a birthday celebration at Northern Union tonight, and the service and food were both excellent. Katie was our server, and from the moment we were seated, she treated us like gold. It was a very special birthday dinner, and we found the appetizers and main courses to be fresh, original, and of high quality. As a special birthday gift - we were presented with a complimentary crème brûlée that was nothing short of amazing. We have dined in many wonderful places throughout the world and found the hospitality and food to be on par with the best of those experiences. We would definitely recommend this place! read more

As an executive chef, Olympic culinary Team chef USA and Canada I think I could comment on this place, and have the International experiences. I'm sorry but all the five star comments, I must have eaten when the chef was off. (Thursday) Duck breast not rendered, so it was barely browned and super fatty and raw( asked for it medium) Cauliflower was good, tasty Risotto with the duck was far too salty WATER GLASSES? Give me a break. These were shooter glasses. Ridiculous We were outside and asked for larger glasses. Please change that today, does make sense. This was not a memorable meal, in fact we felt it was overpriced for what we got and the server Katie was uninformed of the menu, and the word "like the like that".... Her vocabulary was limited, and kept using the word AMAZING ? The food runner, dragged her feet, never smiled and jeans far too tight with cell phone sticking out of her butt pocket. Very sloppy. This not what one would expect of a classy place Food 7/10 Service 4/10 staff need more training on what exactly is in the menu items I heard Katie say, I'm not sure, Don't know, Let me check and Let me find out For these reasons we can't go back Potato Latke, DEEP FRIED CAKE and the grated potato was black inside. Mac Donald's Hash Brown is nicer and at least white, not black Seems these were made a few days ago and lacked taste and were poorly made. Is there no checker on the line? Beef cheeks were charred so dark they were almost burnt and in actual fact BLACK STRIPS OF tasteless nothing. Someone seriously messed this very delicate, tasty, unusual cut of meat up tonight. Two scallops for $19.00. REALLY ! Re train retrain Like I said who ever is giving 5 Stars need to look deeply into the WHOLE experience, not just the food. Isn't that what reviews are about? The whole experience! read more

Simply an excellent restaurant. Tranquil ambience, attentive service, a refined meal - a perfect way to unwind from the drive and start off your vacation! We first visited pre-pandemic and loved the place; post-pandemic, we were very happy to see it looked after by the same chef and that it hadn't lost a step. After a cocktail or two, we shared some terrific appetizers: a meat & cheese board, featuring local cheeses, salumi, and a fine delicate honey; steamed pork belly buns, a surprisingly good "General Tso"-style mushrooms; and, the best of the bunch, terrific potato latkes, so light and ephemeral, it was hard to believe they were made from the lowly tuber. I followed with the seared duck, which was lean and tasty; my wife and one of my daughters had the ricotta tortelloni comprised of local chanterelles; and my other daughter had the best dish that night: grilled Statler chicken breast, which was crispy-skinned, succulent, and absolutely delicious. We shared desserts of their vanilla sponge cake, upside-down peanut butter banana cake, and the lemon-raspberry cheesecake. All 3 were very good and satisfying - our fave was the sponge cake. These desserts, coupled with their excellent french-pressed coffee, was a great ending to a very fine meal. read more

Menu reads well. The air feels boss and relaxed. We don't mind shelling out for delicious food- but big price to pay for small portions and not so good food, isn't a match and that's a problem. Seriously, we came to a stylish restaurant in the quieter and residential section of Ogunquit on Shore Rd and I would've 100% rather have gone for a slice of pizza. Don't get me wrong though- the service from our guy CJ was phenomenal and everyone else- but some of our items didn't hit it right. Highlight of the evening was the mind-blowing and creative Caesar salad and a reinvented Banana Cream Pie- that was actually Vegan! That's it. But taste and quality on our entrees fell hard. For starters, hubs' short rib had a lot of gristle. And second, I've no idea why my Gnocchi & Lobster tasted overwhelmingly sweet. I get there was "corn butter" in my dish- but there was no mention on how 'sweet' my item was. We were disappointed and hoped they would've pushed the envelope just a l...i...t...t...l...e bit further. read more

Great spot all around. Amazing food, great cocktails/wine selection, professional wait staff and can't beat location. Went here for my wife's birthday during peak season(mid august). Our reservations were for inside which was the right call because between 5-7 the Sun is beating down on the patio for half the outside seating. Next time we will aim to be outside past 7pm. The waitress did a great job helping us decide on our meal/drinks. The music was on point all night and we can't wait to come back for another meal. read more

We LOVED Northern Union! Everything from the ambiance, decor and music to the very friendly service and amazing food! You should definitely check them out if you are looking for a great dining experience. I had dinner here on 9.16.21. I was able to easily make a reservation for 2 using Resy. We were seated right away and greeted by Colleen C soon after. She was very nice and explained all of the menu items we had questions about. It was clear she felt passionate about working here. The restaurant has a casual comfortable vibe but you could definitely dress up and still fit in. They had upbeat music playing but not too loud (it was actually the Washed Out Pandora radio station - we asked!). We ordered a cocktail to start, and the mixologist Tim delivered it and explained what we were having - the corn salsa margarita. It sounded so interesting and we both really enjoyed it. For our meal we had: *Brown bread *Corn soup *Roasted carrots *Grilled statler chicken breast *Roasted pork tenderloin We really loved all of these things and would recommend them all. I usually don't order chicken at restaurants, as it tends to be dry without much seasoning but the statler chicken here was so good!! The tomatoes really paired nicely in the dish and the basil gnocchi gave it a nice richness. I would highly recommend making a reservation and making sure to visit Northern Union for your next meal!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Northern Union! We usually drive up to Ogunquit a couple times each year just to visit this restaurant, and it never disappoints. My husband and I usually order (and share) anywhere from 4-8 plates while we're here and enjoy a few different glasses of wine as we rotate through the plates, so the night really feels like a tour of a date! We always sit at the bar (Tim is amazing!) and always have a great time! I only wish they opened earlier, but they do take reservations, and they have indoor and beautiful outdoor seating, too, so if you plan and call ahead, you should be able to get in. read more

We chose this place because we wanted a light bite and it didn't disappoint. The take reservations and we got a table by their fire pit. Be'er, wine and cocktail menu was extensive and I had a vodka cocktail with watermelon, lime and Boone's Farm-definitely a nostalgic drink. We shared three small plates: the brown bread, pork belly baos and olives and my only complaint is I wish the portions were huge because it was all delicious. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Excellent experience for an anniversary dinner. The hostess brought out two glasses of champagne for us compliments of the restaurant in celebration of our anniversary. The shrimp appetizer and the pork buns were great. The statler chicken may have been the best chicken I've ever had at a restaurant. Wife was very happy with her short rib entree. The only regret we had from the night was sharing the upside down apple cake for dessert - we should have each gotten our own because it was absolute perfection. This restaurant is definitely a quality over quantity establishment. Portions are not overwhelming but you won't be disappointed by the tastes. read more

A most pretentious wine bar masquerading as a restaurant. 5 Entrees x 2 apps/small plates. The entrees were very small, the chicken was underseasoned, and the duck was ok. Accompanying veggies were so small I'd call them garnishes. Few interesting apps so went for a bowl of olives. Service and food were slow to arrive. We left hungry and we are NOT power eaters. There are many better choices in Ogunquit, Jonathan's among them. read more

My husband and I love Northern Union. We moved to Wells in 2020. The first time we went, we met the owners Matt & Lauren and they were so welcoming and kind. We've gone back for special occasions and wish we could get there more! Jessica at the bar is wonderful. I love her suggestions. Tonight we brought our girls to enjoy a meal. Dennis was fantastic and we loved our meals. The vibe is cozy and comfortable with a lot of class. We will always suggest Northern Union to friends! read more

Ate here a week ago and have been meaning to write a review ever since. Absolutely loved our experience here--it's been a while since I ate somewhere I felt compelled to suggest to everyone I know (and to write a review to follow up!). It was the first time in a while I've felt so excited about a dining experience. The ambience is so lovely--warm and cozy but not pretentious--feels very Scandi meets Maine meets eating in someone's well appointed home. The Parker House Rolls with seaweed butter were SO good--so good, in fact, we nearly ordered another plate of them (and wish we had). We had the spinach salad that was delicious and then my husband had a pasta dish and I had the osso bucco. The dish my husband ordered was similar to a dish at our all time favorite restaurant (Giulia in Cambridge, MA) but he said it was just as good as the plate there. The osso bucco was so tender and delicious--my only critique is that the red pea risotto was a tad salty (this was great at first but I was glugging water by the end)...but not enough for me to take a star away. Everything felt elevated and there was so much more on the menu I'd like to try on another visit. My only other note was that the water glasses they give you were tiny...but they provide you a bottle at the table to refill (which I must have done about 25 times). I hope to be back! read more

I really liked the look of this place and had high expectations but I was disappointed. For appetizers we started with the lobster deviled egg and potato latke. The first was delicious (but $20 for a single egg with a tiny morsel of lobster?) but the latter was over fried, tough and thus challenging to eat. I had the salmon and my husband got the lobster dish. He enjoyed his meal but the salmon was again over cooked and barely warm when it was served. We also waited a very long time long time to be served. The menu is nice and the ambiance is lovely but there has to be quality control over the execution. Maybe it was an off night... read more

Lovely location and very nice bar. Good pre dinner cocktail but from there down hill. Once seated it took over 15 minutes and after multiple attempts to get water for the table. We had to ask multiple servers/bus people for water. The apps came out staggered and underwhelming. The hummus was a tiny bowl or grocery store hummus with 8 crackers and 3 radishes. The pork buns were quite tasty though. Dinner was sad, the tortolonni was literally 3 pieces, my 10 year old was starving after her three bite dinner. The duck breast was salty and served with 2 book Choy cut in half. I needed more water than was served to finish it. My wife's salmon was tasty but limited without significant substance. read more

What a pleasant surprise! We wandered in here after going for a sail out of Perkins Cove. Everything we had was delicious - probably the best meal we had while visiting the area. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was great. We had and loved the pork belly bun, salmon rillette, potato latke, and the feta. Would love to go back and try other dishes! read more

What a spectacular evening we had tonight, thanks to the kitchen professionals & staff at Northern-Union. Picture yourself sitting in a large and comfortable wingback chair, heavy slab wood table to your left between you and your companion, and a fire burning cheerfully just four feet away. Meanwhile outside it is a dark, cold, and snow-covered Ogunquit. That's what we experienced this evening. When you walk into the cheerful Northern-Union you are greeted by a top-notch professional and friendly staff. The view is dramatic for the floor to ceiling wine rack commands your eyes to the right on entry. Great idea. We were shown to the above mentioned table, which in my opinion was the best table in the house. The small rooms throughout create an intimacy that I love in a restaurant. I would say that this was perhaps the most relaxing dining experience I've had amongst many occasions. Very tastefully done decor was modern yet successfully maintained that "Inn" feel. Service was expertly handled with a great menu to choose from. We decided to sample starters as our main course in order to try as many dishes possible. They were all excellent. Well prepared, plated attractively...every bite delicious. For beverages, we chose an old fashioned, expertly prepared, and some tonic water, with a house white to accompany the food later. We had Milled Blue cornbread, along with roasted carrots (the butternut squash purée!), braised pork belly Bao buns with a nice kimchi kick, and a great Romain salad started us off. All were delicious, leaving us wanting more. So more we had. In our case it was Chef's wonderful Sweet Potato Torteloni with charred figs, parsnips, brown butter, candied pecans. It came bathed in foam butter. What a riot of flavors. We were each picking through it trying to get the last fig. I won. Finally we ordered a repeat on the Pork Belly Bao buns. We did not refuse dessert. How could we? The Whipped Ricotta Tart with granny smith apple slices, and salted caramel was sweet and fun. The tart itself was light and a delight to eat. While this well known gem in Ogunquit is a familiar place to many, it was new to me. It most definitely ought to be on your visit-soon list. You'll be happy you did. read more

Started our the dinner with four flat tequila soda's which we couldn't blame the waiter for.. but that's when things started to go sideways. Given the drinks weren't remotely palatable, we hoped to politely let our waiter know that their soda went flat but didn't see him again for .. ONE hour. By now one of members in our party has gone up to the bar with two of the glasses and came back with two new drinks. Both still flat. Clearly it was time to order wine. Can't screw that up. If only we could get our waiter back. At this point there was a couple who had gotten frustrated from the wait and had walked out. Took all the decency we had to not drop a $20 on the table for the one wine glass that was initially ordered in our party and walk out. Finally we flag down another waitress and explained the whole situation. Drinks flat, would love to order a couple bottles of wine but we just can't seem to find our waiter. Perhaps he lost his shit and quit. Who knows. Things happen. She apologies and we do the same, as dining etiquette calls for communication through your own waiter or waitress.. not just flag one down. About 20 min later our waiter comes by. We are now starving so we decide to order everything. Apps, entree, WINE! We explain the drinks are flat, essentially undrinkable and would like to send them back. (Imagine tequila, water, and agave with a charming little dried lime slice). A couple of us order wine that is apparently not available. Rather than waiting for the guest to request a diff wine, he walks away and takes other entree order. Finally we decide it's safer to just order a bottle of red and a bottle of white. Fast forward almost another half hour. We find out they have run out of wine glasses. At this point we are willing to scorpion bowl the wine out of the one glass that one particular diner in our group ordered at the beginning of the meal. Meanwhile despite mentioning that that the flat drinks can be taken away, they are just sitting at the center of the table mocking us. Pic attached for effect. We are now 2 hours in and food has finally arrived as did the WINE! This is where things finally take a turn for the better. The entrees were absolutely delicious. We all ate every single crumb. Maybe we were starving. Maybe it was tasty AF. Oh and we never did get the Pinot we ordered but the bottle they poured us was phenomenal. Zena Crown Conifer Pinot Noir 2017. So good infact, we ordered a second. When the bill arrived, we wanted to make sure we weren't charged for the flat tequila drinks, and instead find we find we were also not charged for the second bottle of pinot either. So overall, great food, great wine. Crap service. I do appreciate the extra bottle, so thanks for that. I'll tell ya though, most diners, us included, would take great service over free wine. read more

Absolutely fantastic dining experience in Ogunquit, Maine. We dined there in July 2020, during the re-entry phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. They did an excellent job with social distancing (we basically had a private indoor room), and offering both inside and outside options. We actually saw a patrol police officer come through while we were there and tell them that they were doing a top notch job. But beyond all the safety precautions (which is the most important factor right now!), the food was beautiful and thoughtful. I had been here a couple summers before but the food might even be better - if that was possible! Our server Colleen was divine as well and had lots of thoughtful recommendations on drinks to pair with the meal. All in all, an amazing dining experience and I'm so happy that we chose this as our final meal for our 10 day vacation! read more

Consistently great! Had dinner at Northern Union twice on our vacation week. Best place in town in our opinion.

Great meal and great ambiance. Would highly recommend to seat at the high table close to the wine racks on the right side of the host, makes you feel like you're eating at home. The waiter was very attentive and even made us try an extra dessert on the house. Highlight was certainly the pork tenderloin, delicious. Would return next time we are in town read more

From start to finish, top notch in every aspect. Literally one of the best meals, ambiance & service I've had in awhile. The perfectly paired wines (if chosen) was a perfect compliment to my meal. We will be back read more

Our daughter and fiancé chose Northern Union for their wedding celebration. Our guests left exclaiming it was the best wedding food they had ever consumed. Celebrated Chef Roman hit a home run with the corn soup and choice of entrees (duck, salmon or tortellini). The passed apps were glorious, and I'm so glad we splurged on good wine and champagne. It was the most amazing wedding celebration and the photos are spectacular. Owners Lauren and Matt outdid themselves and the staff was exceedingly professional and pleasant. Bartender Tim mixed signature cocktails and the fireplace out front is an enjoyable place to sip adult beverages. The mojo, appropriate lighting and good vibes in this restaurant make this one of Ogunquit's best assets. We are planning to go there tonight for New Year's because we know we will be delighted. We encourage you to support this thoughtfully conceived restaurant that blends the union of good wine and food. read more

Cute little spot in Maine that fancies up their menu to make it feel like you're in New York or another upscale city. Offerings like pork belly sliders and seared feta are a definite must try. The soup of the day that I enjoyed was the carrot soup and gave me all the warm fuzzies inside that I needed on a chilly 30 degree night. I was not a fan of the duck. It's soup-vide and although that seems to be a trend nowadays, I found the duck over cooked. Cheese and meat boards are a classic and an easy go to. Staff is friendly, and I don't think their could be too much of a wait anytime you go because of the small town of Ogunquit that it is located in so all good there. read more

This place is absolutely a must-go if you're in Ogunquit. My fiancé and I went to Northern Union last year and we repeated this one. Here is what we ordered: .- Marinated olives: Excellent marinated olives paired with pickled carrot and fennel. .- Jerusalem Artichokes: This is an amazing creation that will make happy the most demanding fine dinners... What they call onion jam is in fact an excellent mouse that balances the plate. The lavender "foam" delivers delicates flavors that make you come back to the dish and making you wish the plate was actually bigger... .- Shrimp a la Plancha: Well... here's a classic that never gets old. Perfectly cooked shrimps with fresh rosemary and pickled chiles. You don't get the spiciness immediately but... wait for it, it will kick you in 5 seconds... .- Roasted Octopus: Cooking octopus is not trivial... it's very easy to overcook it and serving a piece of rubber instead of this delicacy. They did an excellent job. The octopus is just perfect! The bed of navy bean pure is a nice touch that balances the fried potato chips. Very successful plate. .- Chef's Basket: Nice combo of spreads served with house made pita bread (excellent, by the way) and crisp bread. The pesto and piperade are to die for... Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

This place is fantastic. Relatively small menu, but everything we had was great. Vibe and service was spot on!

I stopped by with my husband for dinner on our Maine trip and we are glad we chose Northern Union. The menu is simple but all made in house. The wine and beer choices are great, with knowledgeable staff on wine choices. The interior is welcoming with modern decor. The hubs got the ale and I got a mixed tequila drink, both great! We tried three items on the menu since we weren't too hungry after our big lunch. The seasonal ramp soup is nutty and creamy, highly recommended. We also tried the pork bun with kimchi, with nice tender pork. The kimchi is not spicy and the sourness balances out the fatty pork well. The hanger steak is well seasoned, cooked to our liking. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are in town. read more
