Todd DeYoung
My wife and I stopped him on a date night to have a cocktail. We were both overly impressed with the environment and the cocktails. This is one of the places that has still kept a reasonable price point on some good craft cocktails. Can’t wait to go back there for dinner

My wife and I love the Uptown and we have for years. That said, the menu needs an update. Maybe we simply go too often. They do offer specials, but I would encourage the restaurant to explore more creative options. The service is always excellent, but the menu really needs an update as it seems limited and old. Overall, the Uptown staff does a great job.

During a last minute change of plans I walked into the Uptown Cafe. It’s such a charming place! I was quickly greeted by Michael and Micah. They are very friendly and accommodating. The salad I ordered was fresh and delicious!

First impressions were good, super friendly people with a very relaxed atmosphere. The draft beer selection was minimal but plenty of delicious looking cocktails. I had the Basa Fish Tacos, the texture was great but lacked in seasoning, very bland. My wife had the Jagerschnitzel which was fantastic! Very tender, cooked perfect and the mashed potatoes were amazing. All together it was a good place to visit in one of the best spots in Louisville.

Nice place, but the food and the cocktails are nothing special. It wasn’t a good value and I doubt I’ll be back.

Stopped in for lunch one day and decided to go back for dinner the next night. The service was wonderful from the host to the servers and the food prep too! Lots of variety on the menu from local eats (Hot Brown) to sandwiches, salads, and dinner / ‘meat and potatoes’.

A staple in my family since the 1980s. A Louisville gem to locals and tourists. The server was attentive and timely. She was interactive and spoke to us not at us. The restaurant was clean and minimalist. The food was clearly homemade, the dessert (devils food cake) icing was very obviously homemade and tasted like I made it myself. Light fluffy whipped potatoes and a pleasantly surprising vegetable medley that was again, made in the kitchen and sizable. Portions were large for each plate we had. No complaints only praises. I would pay to go again.

Great atmosphere, service and the food was delicious! My glass of water was never empty and our waitress Ashley was phenomenal. I’m a vegetarian and they had so many options on the menu. I had the vegetable stir-fry with fried tofu and it was so good [Pictured below]. It is a tad on the pricey side but you get big portions with lots of flavor. The clientele was older but it was not a problem.
