I live in the neighborhood and thought Uptown was a nice restaurant. Imagine my disappointment when I arrived with my parents (in their 60's) and two friends and we were harrassed at the door by a surly, power-hungry bouncer! I was tremendously embarrassed and my parents, from out-of-town, just couldn't believe it. I said something to our nice waitress and she said a large party had complained the night before about similar treatment.
Nice restaurants do not have a rude bouncer out front harrassing diners for IDs. I will not return and will encourage my friends not to patronize Uptown until it learns to treat its diners with respect.
Pros: Allegedly excellent cuisine, location, service
Cons: Rude bouncer at a nice restaurant? Treating horribly at door.
