What Fern Rohan likes about Uptown Cafe:
This is a lovely old world Italian restaurant that reminds of another time. It was a snowy day and the restaurant wasn't crowded for lunch, but the food was great. The bread was fresh and delicious. The homemade minestrone was light and fragrant. The shrimp were excellent. It was my girlfriend's birthday, and our waiter brought a delicious dessert with a message in chocolate on his own initiative. We will come back i... View all feedback. What Hans Klocko doesn't like about Uptown Cafe:
I think the atmosphere was better than the food. The food itself was full, but nothing to write at home. I had the duck ravioli and a moimosa and my wife had the fish tacos. I probably wouldn't go back, but I wouldn't recommend it. View all feedback.

The restaurant is praised for its tasty food, especially the Parmigiano veal, and reasonable prices. The atmosphere is described as great for a neighborhood restaurant. Some reviewers found the food and cocktails not exceptional and not the best value for the money. However, others enjoyed the old-world Italian charm, delicious food, and excellent service, making it a place they would definitely revisit. The staff is mentioned for being accommodating and friendly, with valet parking also available. Overall, the restaurant seems to offer a mix of experiences, with some guests loving it and others finding it lacking in certain aspects.

We love Uptown. And we come frequently. But last night, our food was cold. Disappointed. Sent it back to kitchen just to warm it up. Came back out barely warm.

I have loved the Uptown for a long time. The food is good, quality is consistent, and service is always good. It is quiet so you can talk and hear.
