We came to Upstream this past Monday night on the recommendation from Tricia at the nearby Hyatt Place. We received a coupon for a free pint of beer with the purchase of an appetizer or entree. We arrived during Happy Hour, so we sat on the bar side of the brewery.
I had the Firehouse Red Ale, which was amazing. I've been on a kick of red ales, and this was flavorful and smooth. My wife had a Dragonslayer martini, which she said was delicious.
For food, we ordered two appetizers, the hummus plate and the pretzel crusted cheese curds. I'm not typically a cheese curd fan, but these were good, especially with the raspberry jalapeno jam. The hummus plate comes with three kinds of hummus, along with pita bread for dipping. Nothing out of the ordinary, but satisfying. We ordered the kids meal fish for our 1-year-old daughter. It came breaded, so we removed the breading for our daughter. She devoured the fish! Even my wife who doesn't like fish enjoyed it. The meal also had steamed veggies that we cut up and served to our daughter.
All in all, our service was great, although we came in the early afternoon so I can't speak for busier times. When I walked around the neighborhood a few hours later, it seemed a lot busier.
