My friends and I went to the Uptown Lounge based on their Zagats and Time Out NY reviews. When we first arrived we asked to have dinner at the bar/window area. The hostess informed us that it is louder at the bar area and more intimate (quieter) at the dining room and "skylight bar". However, it was al little to loud for dinner conversation. We asked to change tables and were quickly accommodate by a very gracious manager. We had dinner for 6 at a large circular booth in the dining room. Everything was perfect. Our meals and apps were delicious. The entrees we had were better then more highly rated places (plus they are all under $20). The service was spectacular. Uptown has a great appeal for both an upbeat bar scene, group dining, and a quieter lounge scene at the back bar. Great night out !
Pros: classy scene, nice people, great food
