Uptown Grill - Salida

Southern influence red eye engraving, shrimps and grits and more. The crispy chicken is pretty good, like the sea bass special. The Polnta goat cheese app was as good as a start as the cream brulee was like the finish. Excellent presentation.

Staff was great, food was mostly good. The salmon and polenta was delicious, the maple butternut squash was aldente and a bit peppery, the mac and cheese was a hit, bread was good, rib eye steak was good, chips were good. Fried chicken was bland.

The atmosphere and the service were both really nice. We ordered the double stack smashburger and the chicken bacon brie sandwich. Both the sandwiches were pretty good but very difficult to eat. The french fries were great.

My husband and I ended up stuck working at our hotel all day and weren't able to get out for lunch. The ready to go salads from the market were perfect for picking up and getting back. The hostess that checked me out was very kind and helpful considering I was pretty flustered in trying to find a quick and ready option. They were perfect for what we were looking for at the time,. Won't return this trip, but will remember them if we are in similar circumstances in the future.

Unbelievable! I'm planning a trip from Denver just to eat here again. The unique lowland dishes featuring quail and shrimp wowed my Southern dinner companion, and the apple salad with Wagyu beef was truly satisfying. The vanilla crème brûlée was the best I've ever had! The service was exceptional as well.
