used to be better

by bmr627

i have been here for just drinks as well as sitting down for lunch. the bar experience was much better, though their drinks are overpriced. for lunch, got a simple cobb salad and food was not very fresh or tasty. its great for the neighborhood, but i dont think i'd go back.

• Pros: extensive wine list
• Cons: food, prices

disappointing

by nlb248

Let me start by saying that I WANT to like this place. The atmosphere is great, drinks are strong and tasty, and it fills a niche in a neighborhood dominated by dives and sports bars. However, the abominable service makes Uptown Lounge nearly impossible to enjoy. I've been several times in the past couple months, and each time the service is worse than the time before, culminating in last night's visit when I found a sliver of glass in my martini. The waitstaff seemed unconcerned about this and did not apologize, even as I handed over the half inch shard. My drink was replaced, but not comped and I left with a lighter wallet and without any sympathy from the staff at Uptown Lounge.

• Pros: Great atmosphere, good food and drink
• Cons: horrible service

Great Place

by lenarch

This place is really great. The staff are nice and friendly. The atmosphere is amazing. And, the lighting is really amazing.

The food was really great and I had some of the best filet mignon I've ever eaten. However, I don't think it was good enough for 5 stars. Further, it was CRAZY expensive. I think they're charging way too much for what they ultimately deliver.
