What people say
New American restaurants are known for their innovative approach to cuisine, blending traditional American flavors with global influences. Upland, located on Park Avenue S in New York, is a prime example of this culinary philosophy. Chef Justin Smillie's menu is inspired by the seasons and features a mix of rustic and refined dishes.
One standout item on the menu is the Breakfast Pizza, which defies convention by combining classic breakfast ingredients like bacon and eggs with pizza crust. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is another elevated classic, featuring avocado, alfalfa sprouts, and a spicy harissa aioli.
But it's not just the food that sets Upland apart - the ambiance is also noteworthy. With golden lighting and Parisian-inspired decor, Upland offers a romantic atmosphere perfect for date night. And for those looking to indulge their sweet tooth, Upland's Tres Leches cake and homemade ice cream are sure to satisfy.
Overall, Upland offers a unique dining experience that blends California-inspired cuisine with global influences in an elegant setting.
