"The Ultimate Tower:" What an incredible way to begin a splendid meal. Stone crab claws, king crab, colossal lump crab, oysters, and shrimp towered over many other seafood dishes I've had. The first time I was at Union Trust, I didn't eat anything from the raw bar (just watched these grand platters being served). When I grabbed the stone crab from the ice, I thought I'd be pulling forever. That huge white hunk of fresh, cold, sweet crab was absolutely delicious and delicate.
Dry-Aged 28 days prime NY Strip (14 oz): Juicy. Flavorful. Better than Barclay Prime. I ate 99% of the entire thing. Would do it again. And again. And again. Also had "Filet King Oscar" at my first visit, which is a filet topped with king crab (amazing!) Can't go wrong with either steak.
In most cases, meals consist of one course that stands out in front of the rest. The reason why Union Trust ranks so highly on my list is because every single bite I had (at both visits) was extraordinary. This mango sorbet (no, they are not eggs even though they look like it!) was so fresh and smooth, I am convinced that a magical garden of icy mango trees is in the backyard at Union Trust. A delightful ending to a fabulous meal!
