                  Good food and great wait service as expected. One of the Hostesses was a bit snotty, but two co-workers stepped in and took care of us. She must have been having a bad night.

                  Two at our table ordered pork rib eyes and got beef ribeyes. Ordered two bread pudding to go and they came plated. My grandson had to snag my credit card out of the machine because our server didn’t bring it back when she brought our receipt. She was very nice and pleasant but maybe had something else occupying her mind.

                  This was out 3rd annual trip to Omaha and we always hit up the brewery! Food is delicious and the beers are solid but what I appreciate the most is the table-side entertainment from magician—and let’s be honest comedian—Joe Cole. He had my kids hysterically laughing. We are always glad when we go eat and he is there to wow us with some sleight of hand. I highly recommend going on a Tuesday or Thursday when he is there. Get a flight of beer, the gouda beer soup, and enjoy a great experience.

                  This was our first brunch at Upstream, and it was great. We had a large party (14) and they were able to seat us even with a couple of missing guests. The waitress was excellent and attentive, keeping our drinks topped up and clearing plates as needed. The buffet was a great value for everything they offer. I am usually NOT a buffet fan, but they had a nice selection of proteins and veggies and great sides. The cinnamon bread pudding was GOOD and the whipped cream was REAL whipped cream. Absolutely recommend for brunch!!

                  Our party of 7 expanded to 12 just prior to our seating time. They accommodated our large group without a hitch and within moments. Service was outstanding throughout each course, and even the more complex preparations were delivered in record time. With 5 children, the timeliness was appreciated. Food quality and creativity are very good. Beers were above average with a good seasonal selection. Recommended to anyone visiting the Old Market area, seeking a more casual setting.
