I came across their Instagram ad about bottomless pasta Tuesday and definitely had to go!
The pastas were great, and the shrimp and steak as well.
I do prepare this kind of meal often and would like to see less spices on the shrimp and steak. It kinda overpower the pasta sauce and takes away from the meat taste.
Bottom line:
Extensive cocktail menu, small bites to share, as well as a full dinner menu, and indoor-outdoor setting make a great happy hour spot. Dog-friendly patio. Brunch seems to be a major attraction, as well.
Details:
We missed lunch after a long day at the zoo, so popped in at Uptown Tavern for an early happy hour and bites to eat. We had the Sutter Smash (delicious), and the Xocoveza from Stone Brewing. Our food took a little while, but we had fun people watching and nursing our drinks. The veggie sliders (beet patties with goat cheese) and fries were excellent, and I'd definitely order again. The 5-spice wings were a bit of a miss for me. I was hoping they'd be more spice-forward, but the Mister thought they were fine. Weirdly, they were served with pickled ginger, which didn't compliment the flavor, but it was easily picked off. I'd stick to the traditional buffalo wings. The rest of the menu looked promising, but we didn't want to spoil our dinner reservations for later in the night. Note that street parking is very limited, so allow for time to circle around if you're meeting friends. Overall, worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood!
Loud and fun! Great drinks and some very good food.
We got the chicken sandwich, the sliders and the taco fries. All of it was very well prepped and delivered promptly. Be nice to your servers will get your far in every kind of place, so don't be grumpy or mean.
