My first time trying, walking into the cafe the music is not loud and over powering, plenty of seating options, FULL BAR!! Especially for the bourbon enthusiasts, over 200 bourbons avThey have a weekly newsletter with specials and Whiskey Wednesdays $5 old fashions.I like the location plenty of sidewalks to take an evening stroll. Staff is very professional.Lunch menu and hours dinner menu hours are posted.

Another satisfying dinner at the Uptown. Quiet, comfortable, great Bardstown Road location. Food rich and satisfying without being too salty.The bottle of wine we selected (1/2 off bottles on Monday) wasn't available but was substituted with a very nice one.Server Ashley was very pleasant and smooth.

First time I have ever been there. First they told me the ice machine wasn't working so I got water that I wished was colder. Halfway during the lunch we got 1 cup of ice. The fried green tomatoes were no big deal. I've had better. The onion rings were mediocre. The crab dip was good but kind of oily. Besides the oiliness it was good. The waiter said the crab dip was oily and salty. I didn't taste the saltiness but it was oily. The hot brown was good but a little oily as well. The hamburger was told to me it was very juicy and delicious. The menu for brunch is limited.

A nice laye lunxh with a childhood friend and my husband. It was after the lunch hour, we werte greeted and seated immediately by rhe bartender at a nice table in the window. Great service, fresh bread brought to the table with butter, the dark bread was very good, soft and tasty. Hubby had the clam chowder and absolutely loved it. My feiend had the gumbo and said she would come back just for that. She also had the lunch special, a grilled chicken sandwich served with chips and ate the entire sandwich so obviously it was good. I had the chicken pastry puff, that was a puff with chicken in a cream sauce, brocolli, tomatoes and mushrooms layered between the puff. I requested no mushroom, but when it came the mushrooms were in the dish, but the server took it back and had the kitchen make another one. That was my only complaint, that my food came out much later than the others. Nice atmosphere, easy to access on Bardstown road with street parking. They also have outdoor seating. It is a loyisville staple, i would recommend. Nice bar and several dinning areas

We recently tried Uptown Cafe after living in the neighborhood awhile and not having tried them. In a Friday evening, the average demographic was white 60+. That being said, the cocktails here were WASPy strong and the menu features fresh ingredients and had a worldliness that was unique to the area.The service was also impeccable - and the valet parking is definitely a unique trait that people from outside the highlands should appreciate .

This timeAt Uptown, we indulged in divine stuffed mushrooms drenched in a luscious brown sauce followed by a bow tie salmon pasta that had some of the best salmon I've ever tasted in the Midwest. The classic ambiance provided a comfortable and picturesque view of the street. Their well-curated bar selection and perfectly balanced old fashioned cocktail were a treat for the senses. This culinary haven left us feeling content as usual, our taste buds delighted and our spirits uplifted in a way that has us wondering why we don't frequent here more often.

The Uptown Cafe is just a perfect neighborhood restaurant that you visit all the time.I do confess that one week I had dinner every night they were open when my floors were being renovated. The menu is very comprehensive and the food is always consistent. The Update Cafe is one of the best dining values in the city.The Uptown Cafe has a very large bar, which is first come first serve. When the weather is nice, the patio is open. The patio is located on Duker which makes it comfortable to sit outside without all the traffic noise from Bardstown road. Just past the bar you will find the host station where you can choose to sit in the dining room with table service. Each meal starts with house made bread service.They have two daily soup selections in addition to the shrimp bisque. The shrimp bisque is a must try!For the appetizers the tower of onion rings are delicious. I think my favorite is the Stuffed Mushroom Caps, which has a brandy cream sauce. They have about five small plates that change every six or so weeks, which are always creative and taste great!There are so great entrees that I find myself rotating through the menu. When I want to treat myself to a rich meal, I go for the Jaegerschnitzel. The mash potatoes are a treat unto themselves! They have great pasta dishes and you can even get half orders of pasta. They have really good linguine and meatballs, but I ask to hold the vegetables. There are great basa fish tacos and I like mine with french fries. My ultimate comfort entree is the linguine with sesame chicken. Some days you want nothing more than a burger with fries. They have daily specials for dinner.When I'm being more healthy, I go for the spinach salad with grilled salmon.The Uptown Cafe is known for some of the best desserts in the city! If cheesecake is your thing, be sure to check on the daily selection and be prepared for a slice of heaven!
