Union Proper is in the Madre space at 890 William Hilton Parkway, Suite 74, and comes from the owners of Jane Bistro in Shelter Cove. It is a new restaurant, and reviewers open with the room itself: warm, comfortable and, in one diner’s words, one of the nicest interiors on the island. Everything comes out on blue willow-pattern china.

What to Order at Union Proper

The shrimp and scallop pasta is the dish people mention most, and reviewers say it is generous with the seafood. Also praised: the lemon Parmesan chicken, the beef bourguignon, mussels and frites, a leek soup, and salads built from fresh, carefully balanced ingredients. The bread is well liked. Several reviewers name their server and credit the service as a reason to come back, so it is worth asking for recommendations. The menu button above has the current dishes.

Reservations and Hours

Union Proper takes reservations through OpenTable, which is the easier way to get a weekend table while it is still new. Listings show dinner service from about 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday, but hours have changed since opening, so check the reservation page or call before you go.
