About Union Kitchen + Bar, Chef Christie Tenaud and Roberto Colombi
Husband and wife team Roberto and Christie came from different backgrounds and two different parts of the world, each with its own unique culinary history. Christie was born in Peru and Roberto in Northern Italy. They met in South Florida and worked together to build the blue at the Boca Raton Resort and Club, one of the best fine dining restaurants in all of South Florida.
While they developed their skills independently, they met doing what they love and a “Union” was formed. Eight years and 2 children later, their passion for great food and drinks is evident with their new restaurant, Union Kitchen & Bar.
