    Amazing time at UPH! We went for a birthday dinner, all of us ordered something different and each of us said it was the best dish we had ever had. The team at UPH are awesome. They make for a super fun and engaging time. They have an amazing selection of cocktails and mocktails! We will definitely be back, I think it’s going to be hard to choose another place to eat for special occasions and date night. Shout out to Madeline for being so awesome, it was a great night!

    I saw the March menu and had to dine at Iron! The hatch chile coquettes were delish…lamb loin was perfection especially with the pea mint purée …spicy salmon with red curry was amazing. To top dinner off was coconut panna cotta which was excellent.

    Best ribeye!! And their bearnaise is sublime. We had a wonderful date night. A high-end dining experience is hard to answer the value question… So I gave that a four. But I enjoyed everything; the food, drinks, bartenders (we ate at the bar because it’s just more fun).
