The Uptown Cafe Restaurant Review

: From small plates (smoked shrimp cakes and pork-and-shiitake wontons) to desserts ("chocolate seduction" and a fresh fruit napoleon), there are moderately priced dishes for every taste at this longtime local favorite. In between are classics such as duck ravioli, chicken piccata, salmon croquettes and the Uptown burger. A mixed greens salad topped with pecan-encrusted chicken livers; grilled ginger and beer marinated flank steak; baked sole en papillote; and grilled steelhead trout served with amaretto almond butter present fresh flavors. Many patrons enjoy eating at the bar, which serves topnotch cocktails, draft craft beer and a good selection of wines, almost all available by the glass. The rest of the space is divided into four dining rooms, three of which overlook the bustling sideshow of Bardstown Road. For privacy, request one of the four booths in the last room.
