| - Was at Scottsdale Fashion Square yesterday and my friend and I were looking for a restaurant where he could get a steak but had good veggie items for me as his final meal in Scottsdale before moving. After doing some yelping and looking at menus we decided on The Upton as I had heard a lot about it on Instagram before!
We arrived at about 6:30 pm on Sunday and it was pretty empty, not a whole lot of people there which was nice. The Upton was a cute little restaurant, kind of hipster-y looking, but I liked it! We were seated right away and asked if we wanted bottled or tap water which I thought was fancy haha. We went for tap water.
We were starving and immediately knew what we wanted to order. Unfortunately our server did not recognize us being on the verge of hangry with our culinary decisions made. She talked about like every item on the menu. Blah blah blah. Like I don't mind if you want to tell us a little bit about the specials but she went on and on and on and we were going nuts. She was sweet though!
I got the Uptown girl to drink, and the veggie sandwich with a side of French fries to eat. Was surprised by how expensive everything was! The drink was very small and almost all ice, which sucks for a $12 cocktail. I did enjoy it though. Loved my food as well, but that was a tiny sandwich for $11 to not come with any sides. The french fries were absolutely delightful. Veggies on the sandwich were very fresh and tasty as well, loved the goat cheese on the naan bread. My friend was quite disappointed with his meal which made me sad, his last Scottsdale restaurant experience wasn't a good one. He thought the steak was sub par, said he could have made a better one for cheaper! Also his shoestring potatoes weren't very good. I tried them and didn't like them either.
My experience at the Upton wasn't the greatest, but there were some perks to it, food was good and restaurant was cute! But I could have definitely gotten an equally fresh and tasty meal for a significantly lower price somewhere else.
