What User doesn't like about Upfront:
the menu is almost all vegetarian and it is really the old school. maybe about half a dozen vegan options, which in anbetracht there are about 30 options of the menu is a little disappointing. I had an salat plate which looked with taking the brokkoli in garlic, was all only healthy but something lacking. I would stop here again as it is much better than a service station and a great location. View all feedback. What User likes about Upfront:
One of my favorite dining spots in the lakes! It's a must-visit for me every time I come home. The food is delicious and satisfying, although I wish they offered more milk alternatives besides soy. It would also be nice to have more vegan dessert options, but I always leave feeling satisfied with the generous portion sizes. The artwork on display changes regularly, adding to the overall experience and making it a res... View all feedback.

Nestled in a charming old building, Upfront is a delightful dining spot that offers a predominantly vegetarian menu with a few fish options. While the limited vegan selection, featuring a handful of dishes and a solitary dessert, may disappoint some, the generous portion sizes and unique flavors, such as one-pot curries, are satisfying. The vibrant atmosphere is enhanced by rotating artwork and a quaint shop, making it an appealing place to dine or shop for gifts. Nevertheless, guests have noted inconsistent service, with staff often overlooking customers waiting to order, which can detract from the overall experience.
