| - Thanksgving? At Upstream?
They were open and served up an extravaganza and if this is any indication of their famed Sunday brunch I need to hustle over to Upstream this weekend.
The all you can eat buffet is pricey ($40) but I think I ate that much in oysters alone.
Offerings ran the gamete from delicious looking cheese plates and salads (I say looking because I didn't sample - saving my stomach space for...) the raw bar, mussels, clams, crab legs, oysters, shrimp, smoked salmon, several types of sushi.....etc etc etc.
Also five carving stations including traditional turkey but ranging to delicious Scottish salmon. Sides were a star, I loved the stuffing with duck sausage and the unexpected pairing of butternut squash and cherries. Also, the shrimp and grits. I went back just for a bowl-full.
Desserts were lovely but not as epic as the raw bar and included an actual gelato cart rolled in for the occasion, bread pudding, cobblers, blondies, pie - you know the drill its Thanksgiving, roll out of there.
Service was conscientious and over the top helpful in a non-cloying not-fake way.
i've had many a nice meal at Upstream over the years and they really out did themselves with their Thanksgiving buffet.
