We have eaten here since they opened. The experience has not always been the best. But lately the restaurant seems to have finally gotten it together. The service is great. Food is much improved. The sushi is getting better. The reasons to return for another meal are more. Finally we are looking forward to our next meal with anticipation. Hope... More

We tried this restaurant by chance as our first choice was not available; now this will be our first choice when in the Phillips Place area. We had a waiter who would have made the visit top notch even if the food were not up to scratch. We tried, at his suggestion the "Tower" appetizer which actually is a shareable... More

Great service and atmosphere. Food is expertly prepared. Choices are plentiful. Sea bass is excellent

Went here for lunch last week. Everything about this experience was wonderful. The restaurant had a busy lunch rush but the service was attentive and prompt. My companion had fish and chips, I had grouper. The oyster selection looked amazing but we did not try them, I'll be back to try them

Went with a big group for work - had the Blue Point oysters and they were outstanding. Also had crab cakes and calamari as an appetizer. Great bottle of wine, service was excellent. I had the sea bass and was impressed with the quality and freshness of the fish and preparation.

We had the Oyster Sampler ( 2 oysters each of East Coast, West Coast, and Gulf Coast) very delicious and none of them were puny or small. Very well... More

Delightful choice. The oysters are delicious, in particular the gulf oysters. The east coast oysters were just okay though. The service was okay. Needs to be more attentive to match the food quality. Also, they had a tax on the receipt that was inexplicable by the server. He didn't even try to get an explanation. Huge turnoff.

We recently enjoyed an evening in this wonderful restaurant tucked in the Phillips Place in Charlotte, N.C. What a lovely surprise! From beginning to end, it was a perfect evening! There were 8 in our party and the evening was rated 100% by all. The wine list is superb and extensive...it suited everyone's tastes. Our waiter, Max, suggested the Seafood... More

Although Upstream doesn’t present itself as a Japanese restaurant (it is not), the menu has a long list of maki and rolls, plus several sushi and sashimi stables. We ordered the quality barometer of raw fish – sake (salmon) and were pleasantly surprised with its above average taste. My ahi tuna was melt-in-the-mouth buttery, among the best I have ever... More
