If you are not a local or have an Austin mentality I am here to tell you these reviews are wrong. This place is amazing. Yelp will only post the worst reviews from people on some kinda high horse. This establishment has amazing food and great brunch! I dream of the brunch pizza and cannot wait to go back!

When I am passing through Lubbock this is one of my favorite stops. Fine dining, quaint bar with live music. Started out with the Escargot drown in garlic parsley butter. Then the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl which consisted of seasoned fresh red ahi tuna, avocado, sesame seed, cucumber, carrot, white rice and artisan greens. Always delicious! Enjoy!

When we want to feel a little fancy in Lubbock we love to have dinner rain uptown! A really fun martini menu and savory Italian selections we haven’t had a mean we didn’t love here! Really nice atmosphere and great service.

It is a nice environment and considering the menu prices I would expect high quality service and a fairly speedy turnaround time. It was obvious that the restaurant was very understaffed as our server had a very high volume of tables he was trying to serve. People were waiting at the front for the hostess to seat them the whole time we were there and we never saw a sign of any type of management or supervisory staff. The last time we came here it was disappointing, so we decided to give it another shot. Unfortunately nothing has improved. If you want a nice dinner out, try Funky Door, Cafe J or another quality restaurant in Lubbock where the price is worth it.

We made reservations for Valentine’s Day, then we had to wait while other people who’s reservations were later got sat before us. Apparently the table they had assigned us was not open yet? The service was very slow, and while my pasta was okay my husbands steak was absolutely awful. It was very thin, burned, and just not a good piece of meat at all. Overall I was super unimpressed for a $110 meal. We will not be going back.

I ordered blackened trout, i got salmon with no flavor. Awful food

We made a reservation for Valentine's Day bc they have a Chilean sea bass that I adore. Only upon arrival did we find out that they were doing a fixed menu that did not include the sea bass and we could not order anything but the special menu. The steak was fine but we were disappointed that we could not have what we wanted, and couldn't have gone elsewhere at that point.

There was a set valentines meal for $49 (not advertised when making reservations). The portions were tiny and quality was poor. Staff was more focused on getting us in and out than enjoying the meal.
We had a wonderful, knowledgeable waiter from Serbia. My pasta carbonara was incredibly good and the side dinner salad I had was beautiful with strawberries, tomato's and good homemade dressing.

We had a wonderful brunch this morning This place has been in Lubbock for a long time. Lately they seemed to be in a bit of a slump but something has changed!! Great, great service in a beautiful atmosphere. We had eggs Benedict and the prosciutto Munster omelette and an Italian pizza. Also. A great deal in mimosas

The brunch breakfast pizza is amazing you have to try it!!! Sausage, bacon, gravy and hash browns on a pizza who knew it could be so delicious.

This was my second time to sample uptown rains delicious country Italian cuisine. The first was a last Saturday during a football game and tonight I did take out. I am a former general manager in the industry. The food and service here never disappoint. It's definitely my weekly crutch. I highly recommend.

Do not come here if you want any service or if you are in a hurry or thirsty. This was by far the worst service I have ever had. It took 15 minutes from the time we were seated for someone to come over and give us water. The server did not tell us his name, he did not welcome us in. Once we got our drinks, it took another 25 minutes for him to come back and take our order. We were in the restaurant for an hour and a half. The food was good but it was certainly not worth the extreme wait. All of the servers simply stood in the back in front of the chef, who was by himself, talking and distracting him. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK.
