"Union Social in Mississauga used to be one of my favorite spots. We went there often years ago and always had great experiences. Unfortunately, it seems like those days are long gone. The restaurant was filthy, with a strong smell of gas that made us uneasy from the start. When we brought it up to the waitress, she had no idea where the smell was coming from and didn’t seem concerned. The place was overrun with flies, and the service was painfully slow. We ordered six meals and three appetizers, but the food was downright disgusting. The first appetizer, an avocado spread, arrived frozen like it had been sitting in the fridge from the day before. After sending it back, we were given a fresh one, but that was the only small improvement. The two chicken plates, two salmon plates, burger, and chicken almond dish we ordered were inedible. The burger was burned, the sweet potatoes under the salmon were old and soggy, and the chicken plates were so bad that we couldn’t even finish them. To top it all off, the bill came to around $300, which was beyond frustrating considering the poor quality of everything. It’s as if the chef now came in from selling donuts at Tim Hortons rather than having any real culinary experience. Sadly, what was once one of my favorite places has become a nightmare, and I can no longer recommend it. This place is a shadow of its former self, and I won’t be going back."
