My Review by lindseyk1386839749 on 7/13/2012 via Citysearch
This is one of my favorite Charlotte restaurants. I have to order the Ahi Tuna every time because it is simply the best. The service is also wonderful. They have multiple people who are very knowledgeable about wine so please ask if you…

Great Sunday Brunch by thebottlelife on 3/3/2011 via Citysearch
Normally I have a more descriptive headline, but I really didn't find much that stuck out to me other than the food at the Sunday brunch here at Upstream. This past sunday I popped into Upstream, located in Phillips place in South Park…

Wet Pants by Kaki on 4/4/2010 via Citysearch
My husband and I dined here a few months back. While we were fairly pleased with our dinner (not overly, considering the price, and our service had been VERY slow). It was when we got up to leave that our experience began to fall apart. …

You get what you pay for by Lori D on 2/19/2010 via Insider Pages
You get what you pay for...this restaurant is within the complex where I typically stay when traveling to Charlotte. It is pricey but service & food are excellent. And another bonus is if you want to go a date here it is convenient to a…

You've got to try this... by Eric S on 7/9/2009 via Insider Pages
Great place for a date night! The seafood here could be considered fine dining. I loved the fresh sushi appetizer. The waitress suggested the saki-marinated wild sea bass and I loved it. The fish was full of flavor. The staff provided…

Fancy by Sarah S on 1/5/2009 via Insider Pages
My husband and I went to Upstream after being given a gift card there. The food was great. I got a huge, jumbo shrimp and it was fantastic. The food was very expensive though. The wait staff was incredible. That was worth the extra money…

Best seafood in Charlotte by casotti2 on 6/29/2008 via Citysearch
We love this restaurant. I cannot say enough about the overall experience, from the helpful staff, the amazing food that I think about for days later, the quiet atmosphere, etc. My husband brought me here for my birthday in February. I…

Overrated! by 007bella on 4/2/2008 via Citysearch
Read a few reviews...some were negative, but my boyfriend and I decided to try it anyway--it never hurts, but after the first appetizer, we realized we made a big mistake--SHOULD HAVE LISTENED! We ordered a few of the skewers and the Dim…

A great dining experience for a special occassion by tjoiner on 12/27/2007 via Citysearch
My husband and I wanted to go to Upstream for our anniversary however, he had read a couple of negative reviews and was going to cancel our reservation. The manager convinced him to come in and try the restaurant and I am so glad he did. …

Not recommended for group reservations, Inconsistent at best! by jhillclt on 6/18/2007 via Citysearch
My experience at Upstream was not what you would expect for a pricey "Best Of" Charlotte restaurant.\r \r I had made reservations for a group of 14. To begin the fiasco, they required me to sign a contract for a minimum spend due to the…

Bring Paycheck by kwilliams02 on 6/7/2007 via Citysearch
It was a nice looking place and my husband and I were greeted at the door and seated right away. But when we looked at the menu we were very surprised at the prices. They are apparently very proud of what they had to offer. The cheapest…

Fantastic Wine List/ Great food!!!! by sommelierstyle on 4/1/2007 via Citysearch
I was a sous chef at Upstream for a couple of years, as well as their other restaurants, like Mimosa and Arpa. The only restaurant in the group that I still eat at is Upstream. For those of you that go there to eat an "American style"…

Great Innovative Brunch by GOLFRRGRRL on 3/6/2007 via Menuism
Nice people, great food, reasonable price and an attractive atmosphere. The best part was the tapas sized...

Great Seafood by ncmaylo on 2/22/2007 via Citysearch
We went here for Valentine's Day and it was wonderful. Since we love seafood, we had a lot to choose from. We had the warm trio to start (which would have been enough for four people) and sea bass. The sea bass was amazing. \r I know it…

Way Overpriced by Brian H on 10/22/2006 via Insider Pages
There is a reason why there is an hour wait at PF Changs and zero wait at Upstream. The food is the same quality but THREE times more expensive at Upstream. Average priced entree was $30 and the food is really no better then your average…

User review by chelsea_louisa by chelsea_louisa on 7/5/2005 via Citysearch
The food is to die for and they even have these cooking classes where you get to meet some of the chefs. Children are deffinatley welcome, but the resturant has a more romantic setting.

A Favorite! by merlhall on 4/14/2005 via Citysearch
My husband and I have eaten here several times and I love it! The seafood is excellent - we always get the trio of appetizer - the calamari in particular is delicious - flavorful and not chewy. The fish is always perfectly cooked - not…

Great restaurant by citycrab on 3/22/2005 via Citysearch
Upstream is one of our favorite restaurants in CLT. Their sushi is the best in town and their oyster bar is hard to beat. We generally sit at the bar where the service is great and the cocktails thick. Their tuna tuna tuna served three…

No-Way! by doubledee on 1/9/2005 via Citysearch
Okay I read the reivews and ratings for this place and decided to go for my B-day, Well I must say I've never been more disappointed!!-First the size of the place is a "Joke" its nothing more than a mid-size room with a bunch of tables…
