I went to dinner with a group.
The service is friendly and the food is delicious!

Absolutely loved my experience at Upstairs! Our server was top notch and the food was incredibly well done. Make sure to try the Planeta wine, recommended by our server and 10/10

It was done properly.

Great Location, Lacking Atmosphere
The venue itself is fantastic, and the location is great, but the ambiance falls flat. The music feels outdated—like the ’90s called and want their playlist back. A more upbeat and modern selection could do wonders in making the environment livelier. Additionally, the place had more staff than customers, which made it feel a bit off. With some improvements to the atmosphere and energy, this spot could be a real gem.

So very disappointed. I love the regular Nicos and thought this would be an upscale version. Instead it is this odd French food, seafood place which does not really work out.

You can only get the drinks they make and for example could not get a Mai Tai or they ran out of olives for a Martini.

The food was both mediocre and odd. They had these items none of which were appealing. Echoing the comments on here my wide ordered medium steak and it came rare. The other dishes were mediocre. The brie appetizer was odd and soupy.

Desert, a cheesecake was small and dry.

Service slow.

It's odd that this deviated so much from Nicos but would not go again.

Delicious food and some really great creative cocktails. Really cool spacious floor plan with a great view of the harbor, and the staff have all been really great on both of my visits. Great atmosphere for a date night as well.

Really great quality drinks, food and service. I highly recommend this restaurant. It was recommended to me by my colleagues who are local and I fully understand why it is so highly rated. I had the misso bass, pear salad and a cocktail with egg whites. I have variations of this combo often and can honestly say this restaurant blew it out of the park! They provided nice twists on classic dishes. Parking was easy.

We sat at the bar. Alex smiled & the rest is a memory for a lifetime. The food, drink & company were spectacular! We started with the oysters, drinks & conversation, dined on seared ahi & a crustration rice dish Poêlèe De La Mar, which
was like a French paella, but even better. We topped our main course with the tart trio & a late harvest dolcè that made my toes quiver… our Wait staff were attentive, but not overly anything, just right. Oh! & Alex tossed in the puffed pastry dessert, just because I chose the tarts over my wife’s incling… we’ll be back, the next time we want to fine dine… this will be a special occassion place for us… Highly Recommend it.

We had a close call and my daughter almost missed her flight. We arrived early and we were one of only two tables and although I made it really clear we had this time constraint, out waiter was “hanging loose” and in 90 minutes he just couldn’t get our dinner out. We had to make a quick exit. Paid over $500 for drinks and appetizers. A little disconcerting, weak apologies, offers to pack the expensive meal to go…not genuine concern for how they dropped the ball. It’s a very busy time of year and they really don’t need our business so they can do a mediocre job and not care.

Great food and awesome service. Definitely an upper scale place. Not cheap, but well worth the price for a special occasion or if you're visiting on vacation
