Did you know that The Spot on Broadway offers its entire menu for half price on Sundays after 6pm?
To the inevitable cynics: No, Uptown Update is not an investor in The Spot, nor are we friends with the owners (we don't even know who they are). But -- we do want Uptown's businesses to succeed, we do love a bargain, and this sure qualifies.
Love the Spot! A great addition to Uptown. Good food, atmosphere, and the staff (and the owners) make sure you have a good time.
ReplyDeleteReally good food!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, we'll go check out the Spot!
ReplyDeleteThe owner attended the last community meeting at Truman. He seemed like a nice guy...
ReplyDeleteCASP is DEAD!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI mean CAPS IS DEAD!!!!!!
ReplyDeletebest calamari on the north side. great atmosphere, several bars each with it's own motif. this is my favorite local watering hole.
ReplyDeleteI need to revisit this place.
ReplyDeleteMy first visit was a nightmare. The waiter/"actor" was of no use. He couldn't split the check in half. Thats right..in half. Too hard. Then he proceeded to hand us his "business" card like I was buying a car. I spent over 5 years as a server, so I am really lenient. This "cowboy" was bad.
I pledge to go back soon and give it another try. Though please for the love of god stop emailing me that I "won" a party. It is not that I don't want it, it's just that Chip doesn't have enough friends to fill a bar stool, let alone a room.
As someone who frequents the joint often, I like the emails (the events, not the "you won a party" ones)....but I could see them getting annoying. You can always reply back to opt-out.
ReplyDeleteAte there last night, mmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteWe went there last night... good deal. My buddy and I shared an appetizer, had full meals (pork and chicken), and I had a dessert to go. The only thing that was charged full price was my drink. $28 for both of us, total. Can't beat that for a night out in a "white tablescloth" restaurant.
ReplyDeleteThis was opened to much fanfare a few years ago; the owners were trying to establish a restaurant/bar/performance space/comedy club to attract the Saturday-night social crowd. How's that going anyway?
ReplyDeletewent there last night as well. I have been before, but you can't beat the half price after 6 deal.
ReplyDeleteI had a steak there that I didn't care for once, but their pastas are pretty good. Appetizer portions are kind of small.
I like the place, but the service is occasionally spotty when they get busy. Its partially to be expected, but I wish that they would either use larger water glasses or have more people to walk around.
Its a good place though. If you haven't been, check it out.
I didn't make it last night -- I'm coming down with a cold or something and didn't go out. The wife and I are going to go check it out next weekend, assuming I'm feeling a bit better.
