Reviews for Uptown Cafe in Bloomington, IN

Outstanding local restaurant with excellent service in an appealingatmosphere. Traditional upscale menu, with an interesting... twist. Be sure to get reservations because they are full even on week nights. Read more

We were from out of town and we recommended this by someone who lives locally. It’s a great place to go on a Saturday... afternoon, so many cute shops and places to sit while you wait. The server was amazing, and the food was delicious! We willdefinitely be returning, and highly recommend! Read more

I was here with a large group. We had a private table in the back and a dedicated staff to see to everything. They did a very... good job and everything was handled quite well. Appetizers were great- I enjoyed the varied pate spreads that came with thebread (chicken liver, salmon and artichoke). The calamari and the naan were decent. I tried the pot roast (as did many throughthe restaurant) and I was not disappointed. It comes with a large portion of mashed potatoes as well. You won't be leaving herehungry! The house salad was standard and the homemade dressings were a nice touch. I think about everyone enjoyed their meal andthe service. Dessert options were very nice also. I tried the creme brulee and was not disappointed. Thank you for an enjoyableevening! Read more

Happened to be walking by and noticed a queue forming outside before it opened at 9.00 am. Gave it a try and it was a pleasant... experience. Portions were typically American in size, but the food was flavoursome and reasonably priced for the area. Read more

Averagely average. It was good, okay, but nothing really stood out to me. Not the service, nor the atmosphere, not the food. I... feel like the front of house staff could’ve had more smiles all throughout. It make a big difference. My appetizers were mid.Although I ordered the chicken Alfredo and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Read more

Let me start by saying that my server was incredibly professional and sweet. I wish I remembered her name. I sat in the bar... area, which was lively and fun. I ordered the fried morel appetizer and it was good! I'm not a huge fried person but I enjoyedtasting morels, probably for the first time. I also ordered the mulligatawny soup and it was absolutely delicious. My onlycomplaint is that they massively overcharged me for my cocktail. $12 for martini, a $4 up charge for Gray Goose, and a $1 chargefor stuffed olives!? I'm wondering what my $12 martini got me? Other than that, great experience. Read more

Not sure whether to give this restaurant a 3 or 4- Started with the SHRIMP & CALAMARI FRITTI- which was good (3.5 out of 5).... House bread with special butter was very good and the House Salad was…. A salad :). Nothing special- not out of the ordinary.For main course I had the GORGONZOLA FILET MIGNON with broccoli - which was outstanding! This steak melted in your mouth and theGorgonzola cheese crust was simply wonderful. (6 out of 5!) Highly recommend. My husband had the ribeye with greens- again,back to nothing special, and actually kind of chewy. (2.5 out of 5) When reservations were made, it asked us if this was aspecial occasion- I marked ’yes’ as we were celebrating my husbands 56th birthday. There was no mention of his birthday atany time during our service and while paying our bill, we heard the waitress mention to the table next to us that they weregetting a free dessert as it was her birthday. (Maybe an oversight?) The waitress was wonderful and we left a nice tip- however,not sure we’ll return unless it specifically for that one steak! Read more

Great place. Food was good. Service was very good. Had the Syrian lentil soup, ribeye steak and lemon berry cake. Expect to pay... approximately $50 person easily. Parking was difficult. Read more
