Union Bar & Grille, another addition to the Aquitaine Group’s expanding arsenal of successful restaurants, makes it home in the up-and-coming area on Washington Street in the South End.

Partners Matthew Burns, Jeff Gates and Seth Woods have created an American bistro that boasts an all-American wine list and a menu that’s full of “just good food that you want to eat.

The black leather banquettes against light hued woods and the wrought iron chandeliers in contrast to the floor-to-ceiling windows strike a balance between simplicity and sophistication that manages to be both understated and indulgent.
