I am giving this place a 4, because the food, ambience and friendliness of much of the staff; however, I did not enjoy the service we received - that said, this place does not deserve 3 stars. For appetizers, we ordered the shrimp and chourizo, fried Brussels and the Chicken Liver mousse. The Shrimp and Brussels were good, but the Mousse completely stole the show - absolutely outstanding. For dinner, I had the skirt steak and my girlfriend ordered the scallops - both excellent. My issue with the service was essentially our server seemed completely disinterested in us. Never told us the specials (but did to the table next to us), never asked us for another round of drinks (we had to flag her when entrees came), didnt give us the chance for dessert and seemed upset when we ordered more drinks and coffee. Our bill for 2 of us was $190 before tip - I dont think I am being unreasonable in asking for something resembling elevated service.

My husband and have visited Upstairs in the past for Valentines Day. We visited this past Saturday and had the worst experience at any restaurant ever. We were told it would be an hour and a half wait for a table. We decided to wait and sat at the bar for over a half hour without a drink. The bartenders were taking shots instead of serving drinks. We waited patiently and our table was given away so we never actually sat down for dinner. When I tried to speak to the owner about the issues above he was dismissive and walked away from us. Needless to say we will not be visiting Upstairs again.

Nice hip place, good food options, solid cocktail/wine choices. Intimate place good for a quiet night in a quiet town. The lighting is perfect, but the reason for the three stars is, it is a tad too dark in the front and back area and too bright at the bar.

Hugely impressed by this modern cocktail bar in sleepy Upper Montclair. Great atmosphere coupled by a knowledgeable and friendly bartender. Food menu is small but well executed offering a variety of small and large plates. Will definitely be returning!

Enjoyed my second time eating here this past weekend. Absolutely delicious food, great drinks, and wonderful service. Upstairs is one of my favorite restaurants in Montclair! The faro stir fry is a must!

A beautiful, modern bar with impressive, unique and seasonal food. The staff is just as wonderful. The image may be a bit modern for some. If its on the menu, dont pass on the scallops or pork chop.

The food was good but the manager thought he was cooler than everyone. Rude, disrespectful, and in need of customer service training. Please dude, youre not that hip! Get a grip!

As soon as me and my brothers walked in we were greeted by a dude name Andrew. Him and the rest of the staff were super cool! Definitely worth the ride from NY.
