Businiess name:  UpStairs on the Square
Review by:  citysearch c.
Review content: 
Two years ago, I ate at Upstairs on the Square and had the single greatest dish I have ever eaten in my life. It was a kuri squash ravioli, with such a delicate balance of flavor and texture that I was speechless. When I discovered that a new kuri squash ravioli was once again on the menu, I knew I had to return. I arrived early on a Thursday, when the restaurant was mostly empty. I was disappointed to learn the ravioli was no longer available, but luck was on my side. The kitchen staff was meeting at a nearby table, and the chef informed me that she would gladly make the dish. She seemed even more excited after I told her about my last visit. Before the ravioli I tried two soups - a french onion and a tomato soup served with grilled cheese. The french onion soup was good, not great, but the tomato soup was delicious. It had a buttery texture, and the grilled cheese was tasty as well - the ultimate comfort food. The soup was followed by the ravioli, this time containing a lemon fondue, and while it was not as breathtaking as the original dish (which had become the thing of legend in my mind) the new version was still excellent. Upstairs on the Square is a master of combining unique flavors in such a way that you can taste each component individually, while losing yourself in the harmony they create as a dish. I was equally impressed with the duck confit appetizer, though the gingerbread accompaniment was confusing. For entrees, the standout dish was the pappadelle bolognese. I took one bite of this dish, and the flavor resonated in my mouth for at least a minute. The combination of a classic bolognese, fresh fennel fronds and hand rolled pasta is reason alone to visit this restaurant. I also enjoyed the skirt steak that, while slightly oily, was well seasoned and medium rare. The texture of the ""tater tots"" that came with it was also lovely. This is a restaurant that is creating original flavors with classic dishes, and is well worth the trip. Pros: Ambiance, decor and original, delcious dishes Cons: Expensive, but worth it.
