Had a fantastic date night at Upland. We did not have a reservation but managed to wait at the bar with a drink before being moved to a table. Service was fantastic, and the food was definitely tasty. Beef tartar was great, different from others as the rice gives it a special crunch. Pizza had some little burned bits but overall was delicious. Would go back!

We made a reservation for five just a day in advance — rare and appreciated. Later, we added two more guests without any issue. When we arrived at 5:00 PM, the restaurant was practically empty, yet because two people in our party hadn’t arrived, we were seated at the bar. Why is this rule even enforced? No clear explanation (at any restaurant in the U.S.), just a vague “policy” that seems to exist simply because “that’s how it’s done.” That said, the space is beautiful — stylish and warm, with a polished urban feel and a steady, confident buzz. Now to the food: We were offered complimentary brioche with butter — soft, warm, and comforting. The pizza was decent — nice crust, mild flavors, but nothing remarkable. The hamachi came in two and a half very thick slices — an unusual presentation. It was okay, not particularly memorable. The burrata with finely chopped asparagus was a miss. The texture leaned more toward overripe mozzarella or even feta, with a sour note that didn’t sit well. We were told the vinegar was responsible, but with over 15 years in the industry, I respectfully disagree. To their credit, the dish was removed from the bill — much appreciated. The mushroom risotto — again, fine, but not exciting. We’ve had far better, with more depth and finesse. Our friends tried several other dishes, and the consensus was: everything was overly salted. But the desserts. Oh, the desserts. The chocolate mousse cake? Flawless — rich, balanced, and elegant. The ice cream with biscuit crumble on the side? An absolute delight. The cheesecake? Truly one of the best we’ve ever had — creamy, light, unforgettable. Hats off to the pastry chef — that part of the meal alone is worth coming back for. If we return, it will be for the sweet finish.

It was a great time there with my friends. To be honest I expected more than we had from food and service. Unsmiling manager was touching our table twice or three times to pour the water, never told us Hello or asked something. Very comfortable seats and a lot of natural light. Basque cheesecake was very delicious, rest ok, not bad.

Very small portions, be ready to go to shake shack after eating at this place! The drinks are not good either! The waitress was friendly and willing to answer any questions about the menu but generally doesn’t worth the ~$50/person.

We came here for a business lunch. The sushi was outstanding. The lamb chops burger was fantastic and the coleslaw with it was fresh. Loved the place and the whole vibe. They couldn't arrange a table for 8 hence we had to sit on 2 different tables.

Chic, spacious brasserie blending Californian & Italian. Hearty dishes, fresh ingredients. Known for pastas & the Upland cheeseburger. Pricey but worth it for a special occasion. Trendy, can feel a bit more LA than classic NYC. Reservations recommended.

Excellent food and service. The food had flavor. In fact, it was so good that my pictures are half eaten before I even got the chance to take a picture. I would definitely go back. Make reservations as it gets packed for lunch.

What a delightful experience! Came here for dinner on a Tuesday evening and it was absolutely amazing! The wait staff here were extremely attentive and ensured we had a great dining experience! Special shout out to Olive for making the experience that much better. The food was delicious, and we were able to try a nice range of different options. Ambience was really upscale and pleasant! Drinks were well made with a good variety of cocktails! Highly recommend! Thank you Olive and the upland team for an amazing experience.
