                  I have been coming to upstream for years, and this may very well be the worst experience I’ve ever had there. We ordered the cheese curds ($12) and received a plate with about as many curds as the plate cost, which honestly tasted the same as a side order you could get at Freddy’s. I ordered the Mac and Cheese, which I and my partner have had several times over the last few years, and it was the blandest thing I’ve ever tasted: so watered down that I couldn’t even taste the cheese. It was almost a shock to the blackened chicken on the dish that was over-salted in comparison. My partner’s burger on the other hand tasted like smoke and was drier than a tumbleweed, and the cheese was not even properly melted on it, just sitting there, square as a sponge. The saving grace for this meal was the Gouda Beer Cheese Soup, which was amazing as always. I’m not sure if there have been changes to management or back of house practices, but it was a lackluster meal at what is usually a fantastic restaurant. Nearly $100 on a $10 experience. To top it off, we were seated right in the middle of an isle next to the elevator and back of house area at one of the most uncomfortable wooden tables and matching uncomfortable hard uncushioned seats. It was so busy with staff and cluttered that we couldn’t even hear each other. Our server I believe only came by to bring our waters, appetizer and soup, and to bring our box and check. It was a busy night, but we didn’t even get asked if we wanted condiments by the other server who brought us our food. It was my partner’s birthday, and he was so disappointed by the quality of the food that he never wants to go back, despite it being his favorite restaurant in Omaha that he’s gone to many times over the last six years that he’s lived here.

                  Good visit to upstream! The girl checking our party in at the front wasn’t the most welcoming individual, but our server was *outstanding* and more than made up for the lackluster start to our evening. We had a party of 8 and everyone loved their food. The pizza wasn’t my favorite, but that was my fault for not asking about the crust (very very very thin). Get the cheese curds! Fabulous! And the hummus plate was delish. Others in our party had the fish & chips and wings—all rave reviews! Watched a CWS game while there—great atmosphere for viewing sports!
