Union City Market — Local services in Shelton

Went for their opening cook out as we just bought a house in the area and have been waiting to go check this place out. Was possibly the most disappointing restaurant experience I've ever had.

A nautical-themed gift/craft/curio section. And my favorite - a local seafood-focused grill (restaurant? Cafe?) with a sweeping 180-degree view of the southern end of Hood Canal backstopped by the looming Olympic Mountains. It's a perfect backdrop for enjoying fresh oysters and other excellent options such as the generous and reasonably priced seasonal seafood...
