UNION restaurant at The Press Hotel has been one of Portland’s most buzzed-about in the Old Port with rave reviews from Condé Nast Traveler, Travel Leisure, Maine Magazine, Down East, Food & Wine, New York Times’ Cooking Newsletter and more.

Aptly named UNION, the name represents the restaurant’s altogether local relationship with the community – the farmers, fishermen, brewers and craftsmen that create the uniquely Portland experience. A celebration of the region, Chef Bassett creates a rotating seasonal menu using contemporary preparations and local ingredients. Diners will find the diverse dishes – carnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and more - refined yet approachable, and most importantly – prepared for peak flavor and relevant to the vibrant Portland food scene.

About our Chef:
Chef Christian has spent the last 27 years in the kitchen of some of the most recognizable restaurants in the Greater Portland area. Chef Bassett has experience in several acclaimed establishments in Maine including the legendary Back Bay Grill, and relevant especially to the hotel and tourism hospitality role that UNION and The Press Hotel serve, Chef Bassett has been the Executive Chef at The Noble Kitchen & Bar and Hilton properties in Portland. A steadfast presence in the Portland restaurant community for over two decades, Chef Bassett prides himself on the intimate knowledge of the seasonal harvest rhythms and the best of Maine’s land and sea purveyors to ensure his menus sing with a sense of place. He mentors and teaches the culinary craft to those who are passionate for making truly tasteful art.
