The highlight of my month long birthday celebration was brunch at upstream. \n \nTHE good: on the list of top Charlotte brunch experiences, upstream holds the number one spot for me. They allowed my friends to make me feel amazing. Known as an oyster bar- their excellent buffet food (Sunday before 4) bar is accompanied by amazing staff and beautiful decor. I was delighted by the small plates and feeling great after 2 mimosas. My favorite were the oysters and crab cakes. \nMy eggs even can sunny side up (win).\n\nThe other good: this Charlotte favorite isn't a secret-upstream is for a mature audience and it was also the choice location for a retirement party in a private room. \n\nDespite the large crowd of important people in other parties - our dedicated waitress showed us amazing customer service. \n\nCan't wait to take my mom for Mother's Day."^^ . .
