A Jewish Grandmother : Elegant and Delicious, Kosher Dairy Dining on the Upper East Side

U Café was a big surprise for us when we were wandering Lexington Avenue searching for a kosher restaurant after arriving in New York. Was it totally by chance we had turned uptown to look instead of downtown, or was it that my husband had done an internet search when I had been napping after the all night flight? Whatever the reason, we were very happy with our find and even returned for a second meal there.

Considering how exhausted and jetlagged I was then, I can't remember the names of what we ordered but here are some pictures. Presentation, as you can see, is as important to the Pini Ben-Ari and family as the recipes. Service is also great. He came over to check if everything was alright and quickly discovered that we have mutual friends.
