“A true delight to stumble upon! My partner and I moved here to Palm Springs 2 years ago and kept hearing about the Uptown Grill but never went. I drive by nearly daily and see that the parking lot is always a buzz of activity. It always seems to be busy, which to me was a good sign. Well.... during the heat of the past weeks, we decided to give it a try. What a GREAT restaurant this. We have been going there ever since about 3 times a week. we find it to be one of the most friendly and consistent eating establishments in town. To our surprise however, you do need to make reservations even in the summer! We have never had a bad meal or been treated badly. We have dined all over the world and this is a world class restaurant. They are making gradual changes to their menu and it has been a pleasure to be a part of that transition, as both of the owners and the chef have asked our opinions of various meals. EVERYTHING has been delicious. As far as price, it is a medium range from $16 -$25. We have entertained several guests taking advantage of their special 2 for 1 and we are all amazed at how they can do it. Especially since they have live entertainment every night, which is the best I have heard in years. The only draw back is, it can be noisy but nothing like some places I've been. What we find amazing is that much of the noise comes from everyone greeting one another at other tables. It is truly a place where locals go as everyone seems to know someone else and it is this family atmosphere that is so much fun. The mix of people from straight to gay to young and old are all mingling and making or renewing friendships. I have learned that the owners, Eric & Steve have only had the place for a little more than 3 years. In that time, they have created an iconic gem unlike another in town. You get to town or are new to town, you need to get to the Uptown Grill... and make reservations. As their ads say they "The art of fun casual fine dining at its best" is so true. ”
