The Complaints:
1) I stopped in at the bar for a drink before going to my room. I ordered a single 2oz pour of Oban 14, Neat… (Oban 14 is about $80.00/bottle; Figure about $10-20 (+/-) a 2oz pour in most places. I was shocked to see that they charged me $40.00 for the pour! I looked at their menu (picture attached) and they have listed Oban Little Bay at $40.00 (approximately same price/bottle. as the 14). I decided to cash out… and this brings me to my second complaint.
2) They automatically charge an 18% gratuity to every transaction. Admittedly this is rather nit-picky… Some probably prefer to have them assess gratuity and then they dont have to worry about it. I however, prefer to apply gratuity based on service; I tend to tip extremely well in this regard. However in this matter. I was, in my opinion, overcharged for bottom shelf glass of scotch. Then charged a $5.00 gratuity on top of it without my knowledge. I do not like establishments arbitrarily taking money out of my pocket. The next morning, I brought my concerns to the bartender, who, equally surprised, relayed it to a manager… who declined to facilitate any type of compensation. Which is fine, I honestly did not expect it…. I had hoped they would in adjust the price accordingly to their stock and save others from the shock of inflated pricing. Thats all on that matter.
Now, the Good news. Later that evening my wife an I returned for dinner , we had a meal and a cocktails and the bill only came to a surprising and much more reasonable $35.00 and change. The food was very good. The Bartenders were attentive and helpful. However I still cringe at the auto gratuity, but I tipped extra for the exemplary service.
We had a wonderful dinner at Uptown Lounge Craft Kitchen and Cocktails tonight! We started with the feta dip served with sourdough bread—creamy and full of flavor, a perfect start to the meal. For our main courses, I enjoyed the creamy linguini with shrimp, which was deliciously rich and perfectly cooked, while my husband had the patty melt, which he loved. The bar menu was impressive, offering a great variety of options. Our servers, Tori and Ashley, were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The ambiance was quiet and dimly lit, ideal for a relaxed evening. We’ll definitely be back!
5: What I would expect at a Michelin star restaurant
4: Really good. Above average. Exceeds expectations.
3: Average. What I would expect
This is my long awaited neighborhood bar. I hesitated trying this space as it is situated in a hotel. The food and beverages served at most hotel restaurants generally fall in the mediocre category. Okay in product, generally not worth the price. I am delighted that I can walk here from my home in about 15 minutes.
Staff:
Tory is a love. She makes a great cocktail. She knows how to read a room. She knows when people want to engage in conversation and when not to.
Cali is super knowledgeable. Know’s her palate. Understands flavors. She’s the one you go to if you want to try something new and want a friend to introduce you to it.
Drinks:
Mexican Martini: One of the better ones in this city. Balanced flavors. Very easy to consume.
Brown butter Old Fashioned: the fattiness of the brown butter tempers the harshness of the Still. Again, flavors are incredibly well balance.
I will say that both beverages were a skosh sweet for me, personally. For baseline reference, I prefer my coffee black and whisky and bourbon on the rocks if not neat.
Italian Job: Hello friend. **Caveat: True to having excellent mixologists; at this point, they have engaged with me to know I prefer my beverages on the less sweet side.** I had an amazing cocktail that featured the bourbon while playing with flavors. The herbaceousness of rosemary complemented the lemon bitters and the combination of those two allowed the sweetness of the bourbon to shine.
Food:
Dynamite Spring: Perfectly fried. Crispy. Flavorful. A lovely warmth. For some people, this might read a little spicy. Recommend.
Cheese flatbread; added onions, red peppers, basil: This is completely accurate. Please do not get this and get mad that it doesn’t have enough “red sauce” as this is NOT pizza. This is a wonderful flatbread.
Queso: Quietly elegant. Flavorful. This is not overfussy. The poblano flavor actually come through.
Ambiance:
Sunday afternoon. Cool. Calm Chill. The perfect place to get work done and have great food and yummy bev.
We had a classic martini, a disco devil, and the house 12 oz pork chop.
