what's the meaning of this expression in this context "It's a bit up itself" ?
Here is the context:

We ate here after being recommended it by our Riad nearby. The food was good (but not memorable) but the service was so indifferent it was barely there. If it had been good I'd have felt the meal was more of an occasion. As my friend said "It's a bit up itself" - summed it up well. If you do decide to eat there the Crevette samosas are good as is the vegetable cous cous, but the chocolate mousse was too sweet.

** And what does it mean lonely ?

Answer

pretentious

Answer

"It's a bit up itself" means it had a self-important, arrogant attitude. Normally we use this to refer to people ("He's a bit up himself.") instead of things.

Bookbuster's suggestion of "uppity" has a slightly different meaning: it means "presumptuous", in the sense that he/she has no right to have that attitude and should know its place. A sense of disturbing the status quo goes with "uppity", but not with "up himself/herself".

Answer

We might say, "It's a bit uppity."

Answer

It means to believe you are the most important thing in the world.  So in this case, the restaurant thought its food was so much better than the food available at other restaurants, that it did not have to worry about what its customers thought about the service.
