Located in its elegantly restored downtown location, the Upper Crust has a sophisticated modern vibe, with a little retro-industrial thrown in for good measure. Playful pops of color abound with many of the building’s original architectural elements reused in new and inventive ways. An open-air kitchen and three exquisite wood-fired ovens invite guests to watch the chefs prepare the seasonal menu with panache. The staff’s singular focus is taking care of the guests — neighbors, friends, family — and creating a place for everyone to eat well and connect. The front area of the 10,000 square foot restaurant, with garage doors that open to York Street in the warmer months, is the main dining area, the back area behind the kitchen and the lovingly restored bar, is the place to relax with casual seating, TV, vintage Skee-Ball, shuffleboard, air hockey, pool tables, foosball, and basketball games.
