My sister was in town visiting last week and we thought we would grab something quick and local. We went over to Uptown for a quick meal and wound up staying for over 4 hours. We weren't expecting much, just something easy, (I think it was the only place in the neighborhood I hadn't been to) and we were really blown away. We started with some wine, they have a great selection, and shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were huge and SO fresh. Then I went out on a limb and had the filet mignon, it was amazing. The sauce on it was outrageous and the sides were all wonderful. My sister got a mozzerella and tomato sandwich which will definitely be effecting my waist line in the future. It was so good, we really could not believe it - and that was just the food. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, the atmosphere was great and unlike every other place on the Upper East side, we weren't surrounded by a bunch of 19 year olds. I would highly recommend going to Uptown.
