Wait Staff and Hosts Suck – If you enjoy a place where the HIRED HELP actually have an attitide to match the upscale attempts of the restaurant then this is the place for you. Every walk into a place and the host expects you to be the one that bends over backwards to be nice? Well then, this is your place. Location on Broad Street is the only thing it has going. I could not get past the attitude
WOW! – My boyfriend and I went to Varalli for Valentine's Day and it was amazing. The staff was very nice and we were seated promptly (with a reservation made on their website). The food was delicious. We started with a bottle of reasonably priced ($26) Italian red wine. We ordered starters-the crab and corn chowder and a Caesar salad because in my experience the dinner portions are usually small (well, I was wrong about portion size), and also it was the best salad I've ever tasted in my life! For dinner he had the lobster ... read more
abience, cuisine, great people Broad Street – Six of us met for dinner with reservations. We were treated as family, seated promptly and politely. The crabcake was magnificent, the lobster ravioli was even better. The wine list supurb, but the best was how friendly and accomodating the staff was, above and beyond. The meal ended with tons of Chocolate Pyramid - unbelievable. Not wanting the wonderful evening to end we went downstairs to Sotto's to listen to the most wonderful live jazz music. A perfect night on Broad Street.
THE BEST OF BROAD STREET – Six of us met at Upstares after work Fri. night and had the best time. We sat at a window seat with just the best view of Broad St. you can imagine. It was wonderful to see the Avenue so alive and bustleing. Our waiter gave us suggestions of wines and we picked a wonderful one with a hint of apples and pears. The appetizers were to die for, my favorite was the shrimp dumplings. Our entrees included tuna, filet mignon, scallops and roasted ducked, all cooked to perfection. So perfect, our comliments... read more
A JEWEL OF PERFECTION – My wife and I arrived with good friends 10 minutes before our reservation and were offered cocktails at the bar. We were seated several minutes early at a table with a wonderful view of Broad St. The mosiac lights that go continously were quite the conversation, we all guessed about how they operated, LCD? We asked our server for wine suggestions and we picked one that was perfect. Great appetizers, we had the bruschetta assortment, shrimp dumplings and crabcake, all were perfectly prepared and ...del... read more
Details, Details... – When reserving, (from out of state, over a month's advance), I CLEARLY STATED, SEVERAL TIMES, that this would be my parent's 50th anniversary dinner. He said he wrote it down. They didn't wish my parents Happy Anniversary!?! Our waiter DID remember to wish Happy Birthday to the woman at the next table. Maybe they got his attention with their pink boas. Maybe the gifts on our table, wrapped in silver & gold paper, being opened by 70-ish folks, me wearing a tux with gold tie, and ADVANCE NOTICE THAT THIS ... read more
WONDERFUL DINNER EXPERIENCE – Eight of us met up for dinner at Upstares and enjoyed a scrumptious dining experience. We arrived after the theater crowd and were seated promptly to a table by the window. My personal selection was cioppino and loved every bite.. and enjoyed a friends seafood risotto. After eating dinner I indulged in rich chocolate cake. Lordy, ate alot. Great place to meet up with friends, accomadations were splendid. After dinner we were going to leave but stopped at the downstairs bar and listened to the ja... read more
could not have been better!!!! – My fiance and I are new to the city and heard some really great things about Upstares at Varalli. So, we took a chance on getting a table without a reservation last Saturday night. The place was packed, but the girl at the door assured me she could seat us in 10 minutes or so. I was amazed to be seated about 7 minutes later, with a great view overlooking Broad Street. Everything was great!!! From the service, which was outstanding, to my raw bar (oysters, clams, shrimp), to the amazing veal c... read more
snooty service – don't go here if you don't look trendy or rich. you'll be snubbed. this has happened to me twice. thought the 1st time might have been an exception, but. . . hey, dumpy looking old ladies spend money too, and everyone deserves respect!
