Nick and Nats’ Uptown 21 is an example of how great a locally-inspired restaurant can be. The culinary passion shows. Nick and his team banter back and forth in their open kitchen and between them turn out brilliant, approachable food. A pile of well-read cookbooks is stacked on the bar. Nick and his wife/partner, Nat, ensure that there is a very real connection to the landscape of Waterloo County. It may be basil-scented bison croquettes stuffed with old cheddar and served with a chipotle-blueberry sauce, or a crisp duck confit atop rosemary-roasted potatoes. Their strip loins are dry aged for 50 days. The seasonal desserts are a must!
Their philosophy reads, “Uptown 21 endorses freshness and a local first ideal, wherein we will strive to support our local farmers, local wine and beer producers, area businesses, and community whenever possible,”.
