I am a physician at Mt. Sinai hospital, just four blocks north of The Uptown Lounge. My colleagues and I had limited choices available to us for social gatherings and dinners. I stumbled upon Uptown via the Best of Citysearch results. We decided to have our monthly dinner at Uptown. I would rate this venue a perfect 10. The food, drinks, and ambience of this place is great. IMO the grilled shrimp and duck breast are delicious! The most important factor to me was the attitude of the servers, manger and bartenders. Believe it or not, everyone was polite, friendly and very attentive. Put all of these attributes together and you have the recipe for a great night out! I guess that is why this place is doing so well. One tip, if you have large groups, ask to sit in the skylight room, very impressive.
Pros: martinis, service, huge portions
