The little ones can start with kiddie crudités, then choose from petite steak, chicken or salmon dishes that include fries or veggies. More typical fare like chicken fingers, mini burgers and pasta will please the picky kid.

From 2012:

Chef-owner Matthew Curtis of Union City Grille has won awards for his lasagna and
meatballs, so he knows his way around Italian. Whether you sample his handmade
linguine in clam sauce, gnocchi with goat cheese and mushrooms, or fettuccine
pomodoro, you’ll see why UCG has succeeded so well in Little Italy.

From 2010:

Union City Grille crafts fresh food that kids will actually eat, from chicken fingers to mini-burgers and fries and creamy penne mac-and-cheese. There’s even a kid-friendly crudite plate, with crunchy cucumber, carrots, celery and cheeses. Jamie Oliver should take notes.

From 2009:

Matthew Curtis took over Union City Grille without much of the buzz or fanfare that accompanied the half-dozen or so new restaurants in Wilmington. The Grille’s reputation had been fading. It was considered a decent place for steak, but not much else. Curtis, a former chef at Deep Blue and Toscana, figured great ingredients, good value and some new blood could get people jazzed about Union City again. “The idea was trying to establish a new clientele, a bigger database and just market the place properly,” Curtis says. “They always say if you buy good food, people will appreciate it.” So far, his plan has worked. Monthly wine dinners, great happy hours and his terrific, uncomplicated dishes have people talking. “We’re not reinventing the wheel,” he says. “More like we’re re-teaching people how to love food.”
