Had a wonderful time here last week with a few of my clients. The staff was superb and the menu offered a wide selection which was great but made it harder to decide since everything sounded amazing! I highly recommend the Tuna Quinoa and the tortilla soup. If the weather permits sit out on the patio!
I have been coming here since it opened in 2011 and this place has remained to be one of my favorite spots. If you haven't been you must go you will not be disappointed. The menu has vastly improved and offers a variety of dishes at very fair price points. Service is always flawless and the entire staff truly knows and cares about what they are doing. Beautiful interior, delicious food, and great service I highly recommend this place!
I have heard mixed reviews on Up but my girlfriend has been insisting we give it a shot and try something new. I had the chefs feature for the night which was the 20 oz roasted prime rib in a brandy peppercorn sauce and it was cooked to perfection! Our waiter was very attentive and made great suggestions for wine pairings with our dinner. Overall, I had a great experience at Up and will be coming back soon.
Up Restaurant is a hidden gem in the inner loop with picturesque views of the Galleria and Downtown. I recently went with my significant other and his family for his mother's birthday dinner, this is my new favorite! The decor is breathtaking, service was outstanding, and the food was by far the best I have had in a long time. Try the Breadless Jumbo Lump Crab Cake and Beef Short Ribs. Also the Macarons are divine, try all of them! :)
My visit to UP was nothing less than spectacular. I have to say the one thing missing from most restaurants nowdays is the "art" of true hospitality. My wife and I have never been treated with such care in our many years of dining out. I have to say the menu did have some variety, but the flavor is great and the portion sizes are HUGE. TRY IT!
