"I get to Omaha once year, and typically bring a few people to Upstream. It has great beer and a varied menu and a good atmosphere. I was bit bit surprised that my filet was overdone, and should have sent it back... I'm sure they would have responded courteously."

"Great waiter in the bar area! We were there for an early meeting and he didn't rush us. Then he took care of us for dinner. The hostess didn't ask my husband if we had an Open Table reservation since he arrived before me. She then cancelled our reservation when we were already on site. You may want to train the people a bit more on the process. Thanks"

"My girlfriends and I were celebrating a bachelorette party and wanted a fun- yet classy place to start out the night with a tasty dinner and a few good drinks. Our waiter was attentive and spot-on with all of our orders. I would recommend the Upstream to others."

"I decided to make a change for Mother's Day Brunch and try Upstream. We've been going to Crave's for the last 4 years. Although I made reservations several months in advance, we were seated upstairs by the bar. We climbed massive stairs. My mom (senior citizen) exercises, she couldn't have made it up otherwise. The hostess said follow me and we did. We were confused at first -buffet wasn't set up upstairs yet. The food was good. Servers didn't explain anything until we asked. We will try a different restaurant next year."

Review 11 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"Have never had a bad experience at the Upstream. The food is great. Service and atmosphere too. The only thing I was disappointed in with my last visit is that they took the soy-glazed tilapia from the main menu -- forced me to go back to an old fave, the raspberry chicken! Bring it back!!"

Review 13 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"Made reservations on none of the busiest weekends of the year. I thought our large group may be an issue, but upstream nailed it.
Table was ready and waiting, our waitress handled the large group with ease and a smile.
Food was excellent, meatloaf, salmon, pot roast, hummus, calamari....we basically sampled the whole menu. All of it was delicious. Having eaten here several times at night, I will say the day chef is a champ. Food was the best I've had here in years.
As always the house brewed beers are fantastic. The Marzen seasonal was great."

Review 15 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"Upstream is a great place for dinner with family, friends, coworkers, or anybody. The food is great and the ambiance is unique with the brewery tanks on display behind the glass. All of the beer selections are great as well. Truly a staple of the Old Market in Omaha."

Review 16 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"As always, the Smoked Gouda Ale Soup was fabulous, as were all entrees. The beer - an IPA - was excellent, BUT was a scant 12 oz., while the menu (and bill) indicated it was 16 oz. Kind of a damper on an otherwise great meal."

Review 17 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"I took a few buddies from out of state to enjoy a Nebraska steak. We ordered 2 ribeyes the New Yorker and the 12 oz fillet. The food came promptly, the steaks were cooked perfectly (I made them all order MR), and the sides were plentiful and really delicious. Especially the Parmesan, tomato and lemon vin. salad with my NY. The service was fine; not too much but not to little. Nothing outstanding however. I also ordered the scotch ale, which I found to be quite decent and a good pair with my steak. I will go back."

Review 19 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"The food was very good, but service was not the best. We ordered an appetizer and the waiter asked to take our dinner orders at the same time. We asked that he come back later for that, which he did. The appetizer came about a minute before the main dish, but they did take them back to the kitchen. We felt a bit rushed all night. Reservations were for 8:00 pm, so the need to turn the table should not have been that great. Overall we were happy with Upstream, but not as excited leaving as we were coming in."

Review 20 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"We had an awesome Easter Brunch at the Upstream! Food was excellent and the timing of their reservations kept the buffet lines from being too long. We plan to attend their Sunday brunches more often!"

Review 22 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"We had a really bad dining experience on Easter morning at Upstream at the Old Market. We had the brunch buffet. There never really was enough food. Customers were watching the buffet like a hawk to get the new stuff because as soon as they brought it out, it was gone. Then there was the food itself. Other than the breads and fruit, really nothing was good. In fact, most of it was substandard at best. For $16.95, Upstream should be ashamed for serving that sort of food. The waitstaff was extremely overworked so we would see our waiter but he had a hard time remembering what we asked for. Our table was too small so we were piled with extra plates because our waiter kept forgetting to come back for them. Friendly waiter, but couldn't keep up."

Review 25 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"My son from Chicago was in for a visit and he wanted to visit a micro-brewery. Had a resrvation and we were seated promptly at 5:30. The only issue was that there were larger groups eating and they were served 1st so they could go to Lion King. We waited quite awhile to get our food. Once it came, the food was great. Not the waiter's fault, just a HUGE backup in the kitchen."

Review 26 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"The only bad part about this restaurant was trying to find parking around dinner time on a Friday night. I would suggest coming a few hours early and strolling around the Old Market before your dining event to make sure you find a place to park."

Review 27 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"very diverse menu and it all tastes pretty good. Our party of 4 had pot roast, fish and chips, jumbalaya and tuscan chicken salad. Good food, not a destination place for foodies, but neither were the prices. Upstairs pool tables were a hoot. I was surprised to see the restaurant nearly full and several tables occupied by families with children under 12."

"Food was well prepared - beer was outstanding - service was less than adequate - felt like waiter wanted us gone - brought ticket before we were done - annoyed we ordered another round and desserts - saw another waiter that was doing it right - so could be what you should expect!"

Review 30 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"The food itself was not too bad, what was exceptionally poor, however, was our waiter. Both orders were wrong, he spilled the water all over while filling our glasses, never apologized and was generally unhelpful and had a poor attitude. The food itself wasn't bad."

Review 35 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"I took my GF here for a dinner date recently and had a very nice time. The food was great, the server was awesome and the overall experience was wonderful. I would say I would recommend this restaurant to others and I can say I will go back in the future! My only complaint is that the menu selection was kinda weak. One page was food the other side was beer. That's it. There wasn't all that much to pick from in my opinion. Other than that it was an awesome experience!"

Review 38 for Upstream Brewing Company- Old Market
"The food at the Upstream is usually amazing. The night we went (Valentine's Day) the food tasted good, but it was all only lukewarm at best. It was like they prepared a bunch of stuff ahead of time to avoid having long wait times for food later, but unfortunately nothing was warm enough when it reached the table! If you're going to go, avoid holidays and busy times and you will be in for a treat. The spinach artichoke dip is my favorite!"
