Uptown Cafe

“I recently visited Uptown Cafe and had a decent experience overall. The servers were very nice and attentive, which definitely made the visit more enjoyable. The food was okay—nothing really stood out, but it wasn’t bad either. I did feel like the prices were a bit on the higher side for what you get, so that’s something to keep in mind. Overall, it’s a good spot if you’re looking for friendly service, but I wish the food quality matched the pricing a bit more.”

“We sat outside it was nice the motorcycles on the street are loud but not overbearing. Restroom was very clean! Waitress was nice and knowledgeable on food pairing. The price is roughly $25-30 per person per plate not including drinks. The food quality and serving size is worth the price.”

“My wife and I stopped in for our first time visit after a 10 hour trip from Upstate NY. We really enjoyed the variety of choices and after our long drive decided to keep it simple and have a small greens salad with Salmon and the uptown burger and steak fries. We were pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was and we received very good service as well. We really enjoyed our first visit and would recommend this place to all. Bon appetit!”

“Uptown Cafe is a great choice for an upscale meal in bloomington. The food is very high quality and the ambiance is very nice. They have made some menu changes over the years which remove some of our favorite items from the menu, but they still have plenty of delicious options to choose from. I highly recommend their brunch. The bagel and lox is the best in town. The fish is extremely high quality and the bagel is delicious as well. The omelets here are fresh and served with your choice of toast. All of the egg breakfasts are priced very well too. Their cocktails are very high quality, with familiar favorites and specialty drinks. I recently had a bad experience with the service, but the owner reached out to me and made it right. These are people who care about their diners having a great experience.”

“Great place, but they made a HUGE mistake getting rid of the Gorgonzola Filet. This was easily the best steak in town (a level above Zagreb's). I used to bring friends there for this plate, but don't much anymore. The prices have also gotten out of control, for example it's $8-9 for a basic side (veggies, fries, etc.) and everything is a la carte.”
