"Foodies all over are trekking to sample Chef Justin Smillie's California-inspired cuisine. But design buffs should also take note: the interior here (by Roman and Williams) is just as stunning as the kale sausage pizza. With an open kitchen, an airy dining room and copper light sconces sparkling all over, the entire restaurant seems to glow with effortless sophistication. Whether it’s a special occasion, a romantic night out, or a fancy brunch, Upland always seems to hit the spot." - Marcelo Cardoso
