    We celebrated our daughter’s 15th birthday yesterday at Uptown Sports Club. The service was very good, food was delicious and the ambiance was great! It was a bit louder than we anticipated. I would definitely come back for brunch.

    We dined here on Valentine’s Day so it was packed inside the restaurant, but we sat outside and had a nice and quiet meal. The food here is always outstanding and it is such a beautiful restaurant. It also has great value for the prices, we got so much food and didn’t feel like we were overpaying. Absolutely recommend Elizabeth St. for any occasion!

    Not trying to be a pretentious ars here but we’ve eaten in France & New Orleans and have had a hard time matching those experiences. My wife, daughter, granddaughter and I had a Valentines dinner here tonight. I can say that the food and the experience were great. French Onion soup was quality, I tasted my daughter’s tequila martini & ordered one myself, lamb chops were perfect and the banana, nutella crepe was one of the best desserts I’ve had. Coming from a fat guy, that’s a compliment. First timer who will be back for more
