Food was very good! However my friend and I were rushed out of our dining experience. It had been about an hour since we received our food, my friend was still eating her meal and had 1/4 glass full of wine when we were handed our check and given a to-go box. There were still a few open tables and no one checking in with the hostess that I could see. While the food was good, we won't return based on our service experience.

We tried several dishes, and except for one we enjoyed our selections with the wine we had chosen. The cheese selection with the charbroiled avocado didn't seem to be a good match. However, the burrata with the chutney was very tasty.

We had a wonderful time at the tequila food pairing event. I always love these events, especially at The Upper West, the chef really knows what he is doing, the staff is friendly and the space is beautiful. I look forward to the next event!

Great restaurant. The pork tenderloin and the short rib were so good. We also really liked the artichoke and Mac n cheese. Service is great as well. Really recommend this restaurant.

The food was impeccable, and the service was very personalized. I want to go back to try other things. Too many good things on the menu. I appreciated the waiters tip to not get the Happy Hour Pinot. I spent just a couple $ more to get a better wine.

Love this place. I came in needing a few bites and a beverage and it was perfect. The spicy tuna crispy rice was some of the best I've had and the chicken thai salad was really good also

We went to Upper West with another couple who had never been there but joined us at our recommendation. The service is attentive and amazing and the servers are knowledgable with a good sense of humor. The food is nicely prepared and delicious to eat. Portions are very generous. Even the coffee is good! Highly recommend!!!

Our go-to place in the neighborhood. Friendly, efficient staff, welcoming host, generous portions of tasty food at fair prices. Steak taco plate an especially delicious and shareable entree. Pleasant ambience and not too noisy. What needeth it to say more?

Always love coming to Upper West but it's usually earlier in the evening or during the week. Prime time on Friday was a bit busy (thank goodness) and noisy but the people are so nice and I like the food
Love this charming restaurant! Excellent food. If you like to share small plates, this is the perfect place to dine. Mark is an amazing waiter..extremely attentive and very fun. Just a lovely evening!
We absolutely love Upper West! We moved out of the city and are now approximately an hour or more away so we go when we can! The food is delicious. We especially love the ahi crispy rice appetizer, the chicken with yogurt (an OMG delicious dish!), and the steak tacos.
We loved our experience there! The decor is nice and the tables not too crowded. The food was very tasty and the only minor mistake was the burger cooked medium rare instead of medium. Everything else (we took many small plates to share) was delicious. Our waiter was awesome, relax but efficient and with a great sense of humor. The whole staff was actually very welcoming ??

Excellent service and chocolate dessert. Burgers were good, but the pickles with jalapenos were much too spicy. The place had an energetic bar vibe and was VERY noisy. Good location a few blocks from McCabe's.
This is the second time I've been to this restaurant and the service is terrible. The restaurant is understaffed with servers and so everything is delayed. It's unfortunate because the food is decent, but unless management decides to hire more people, I will not be going back there.
A few years ago, I met the chef of this restaurant by accident. Literally in an accident. ? Been to the restaurant many times, over the years, and every time the food, flavor, and presentation along with the service has been consistently great. I believe we have tasted almost everything on the menu. I've brought many groups of friends there, and they all were very satisfied and became their constant fan. As for service, The waiters , owner, manager,... all are always very pleasant and accommodating. What's predictable is you can always count on good food and service. No surprise there.
