Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Uptown

We had a terrific dinner with friends at Eden on Saturday night. Food was delicious and plentiful and our server, Lindsay was great. We look forward to returning. The carrots, roasted potatoes, red crab bucatini and cauliflower flatbread were favorites.

Bar Mar was a great experience for us. Stunning visually. Fun drinks and top notch food. The staff made us including our 4 yr old granddaughter very comfortable.

Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the Greek wine list and recommended special items on the food menu. We assumed she was Greek, but when she heard my husband and our friend speaking German, she spoke Deutsch, and we learned that she is half German American and Italian American. It was an amazing meal and a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays with our friends.

We really loved Simply Pasteur. The ambiance was lovely, the music playing also was the right decibal and really delightful (a playlist that we asked about and have been playing at home), and the food was delicious. Service was also attentive and just right. It is a very appealing vibe and was a perfect place for an early Friday dinner. We are so glad we discovered this special place.

It was a little cold in the restaurant, this was due to it being a very cold night and the door allowed a breeze in every time someone arrived and left. Also the A/C was on in the men's room and the water was very cold. These issues are easily fixed. All in all the food was excellent and the service was top notch. The staff found the perfect balance of allowing my party to feel as if someone was always around and available without being over bearing. I prefer when staff allows patrons to enjoy the wonderful meal they prepared without constantly asking if we need anything. The food was amazing and the spicy miso soup was a welcomed change to the typical miso soup.
