Averagely average. It was good, okay, but nothing really stood out to me. Not the service, nor the atmosphere, not the food. I feel like the front of house staff could’ve had more smiles all throughout. It make a big difference. My appetizers were mid. Although I ordered the chicken Alfredo and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had.

Let me start by saying that my server was incredibly professional and sweet. I wish I remembered her name. I sat in the bar area, which was lively and fun. I ordered the fried morel appetizer and it was good! I'm not a huge fried person but I enjoyed tasting morels, probably for the first time. I also ordered the mulligatawny soup and it was absolutely delicious. My only complaint is that they massively overcharged me for my cocktail. $12 for martini, a $4 up charge for Gray Goose, and a $1 charge for stuffed olives!? I'm wondering what my $12 martini got me? Other than that, great experience.

Great place. Food was good. Service was very good. Had the Syrian lentil soup, ribeye steak and lemon berry cake. Expect to pay approximately $50 person easily. Parking was difficult.

Not sure whether to give this restaurant a 3 or 4- Started with the SHRIMP & CALAMARI FRITTI- which was good (3.5 out of 5). House bread with special butter was very good and the House Salad was…. A salad :). Nothing special- not out of the ordinary. For main course I had the GORGONZOLA FILET MIGNON with broccoli - which was outstanding! This steak melted in your mouth and the Gorgonzola cheese crust was simply wonderful. (6 out of 5!) Highly recommend. My husband had the ribeye with greens- again, back to nothing special, and actually kind of chewy. (2.5 out of 5)
When reservations were made, it asked us if this was a special occasion- I marked ’yes’ as we were celebrating my husbands 56th birthday. There was no mention of his birthday at any time during our service and while paying our bill, we heard the waitress mention to the table next to us that they were getting a free dessert as it was her birthday. (Maybe an oversight?)
The waitress was wonderful and we left a nice tip- however, not sure we’ll return unless it specifically for that one steak!

Great meal! The shrimp and grits were delicious. There is a large menu with many options that all sound good. With good food and nice staff I definitely recommend eating here!

We had a private party here for a birthday. The atmosphere was welcoming and the food was pretty good. A place to check out if you're in the Bloomington area.

Second visit to Bloomington and I am ready to declare Uptown Cafe as the restaurant where we’ve enjoyed our favorite meal.
Since I was not smart enough to make a reservation, we had an 80 minute wait for a table for three, but it was worth it. I’ll just remember to make a reservation next tine.
The service was outstanding - our waiter Michael was helpful, made recommendations and made our dining experience that much more enjoyable.
The seafood gumbo was excellent- it’s a large portion and had plenty of seafood. The peppercorn medallions were cooked a perfect medium rare (as requested) and the steak and sauce were so good. Also had mash with it which was rich and creamy.
Next time I need to save room for the limoncello cake.
