Went on a first date here and it was excellent. From the food to the drinks and modern decor everything was wonderful. The servers were also very kind and attentive. My date and I dined on the buttermilk fried chicken and the salmon burger which were both delicious. I’d also like to give them props for being one of very few upscale restaurants open on a Monday in the Montclair/Bloomfield area. I will definitely be coming back.

I am giving this place a 4, because the food, ambience and friendliness of much of the staff; however, I did not enjoy the service we received – that said, this place does not deserve 3 stars.

Great spot to grab a drink with friends or have a nice dinner in a really cool atmosphere. Met here for drinks and ordered a few small plates. The pinot noir was excellent as were all the dishes we tried. They have a changing seasonal menu, which keeps things here fresh. Can’t wait to be back to try more things from their menu!

Hugely impressed by this modern cocktail bar in sleepy Upper Montclair. Great atmosphere coupled by a knowledgeable and friendly bartender. Food menu is small but well executed offering a variety of small and large plates. Will definitely be returning!

Nice hip place, good food options, solid cocktail/wine choices. Intimate place good for a quiet night in a quiet town. The lighting is perfect, but the reason for the three stars is, it is a tad too dark in the front and back area and too bright at the bar.

My husband and have visited Upstairs in the past for Valentine’s Day. We visited this past Saturday and had the worst experience at any restaurant ever. We were told it would be an hour and a half wait for a table. We decided to wait and sat at the bar for over a half hour without a drink. The bartenders were taking shots instead of serving drinks. We waited patiently and our table was given away so we never actually sat down for dinner. When I tried to speak to the owner about the issues above he was dismissive and walked away from us. Needless to say we will not be visiting Upstairs again.

Delicious food, great service and festive atmosphere. We love to sit at the tables across from the open kitchen. The back dining room is great for special occations. cocktails are worth the trip to Montclair!

Awesome grub, though there is nothing vegan on the menu, but they were more than happy to set me up with something delicious. Super-nice waitstaff, solid music, and nice atmosphere.

A beautiful, modern bar with impressive, unique and seasonal food. The staff is just as wonderful. The image may be a bit modern for some. If it’s on the menu, don’t pass on the scallops or pork chop.

As soon as me and my brothers walked in we were greeted by a dude name Andrew. Him and the rest of the staff were super cool! Definitely worth the ride from NY.
