Upside Restaurant

Nothing short of 5 stares here! Outdoor dining upstairs on the deck on a perfect night. We each had a delicious beverage to start along with an appetizer to share. Best fried green tomatoes we’ve ever had! Then dinner....Southern Seafood Boil served over grits was excellent. Very tasty but not heavy. The shrimp and scallop dish over pesto pasta was also a great choice. No room for dessert but we brought home the key lime pie for later. Wow! Thanks Upside for a wonderful Dinner and great service from Veronica. She was able to describe each item we ordered and answered all our questions.

We got there at 5:40 on a Thursday and didn't have to wait long for a patio table. Our server unfortunately had a large party before us, and though it was fine at the start, at the end we had a long wait and had to flag down a different server. The other severs seemed very attentive, so my guess is the large party was to blame, though the waiting did get frustrating. The food is amazing. We had the crab cakes and tuna, and would get both again. The beach breeze and water views were a nice touch, surprisingly hard to find in Corolla. It's not hard to rack up a hefty bill, but the food aims to meet the price.

High end food in Corolla. The absolute best calamari I’ve ever had. Hush puppies are amazing. All dishes are prepared with super fresh food. They also have daily drink specialties that are made with fresh ingredients. Excellent location with a nice bar to relax while waiting for a table. Service is top notch, very attentive staff. Smaller location so plan ahead for a group. They don’t take reservations so we stood in line about 15 minutes before opening with a few beers from the bar next door.

Fantastic food. Fantastic atmosphere. We had a group of 6, and the service was fantastic! We really enjoyed the hush puppies and fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and cobbler. We'd definitely go back.

I love their fried green tomatoes!! I had the peach cobbler and for dinner I had seasonal fish and it was amazing! We watched the sunset on the patio. The hostess Luna was so sweet and my server Veronica was so attentive. My complements to Chef Connor! I’ll be back this summer

It was a beautiful day to sit outside for lunch! My spinach and Portobello wrap was delicious, and my husband enjoyed his fish tacos. Staff was extremely nice!! Will return!

WOW! Great first visit. Food was amazing and the service was great. Our server was Carrie and she was very attentive and friendly. Connor the Executive Chef provided a hand made, not frozen and reheated, meal. Our drink was the sunburn margarita and they were delicious! Sunset over the sound was a great experience. A upscale restaurant worth a visit.

Edit (6/14/24): Y'all!! I regret my last review. First, service is still 10/10. But y'all. Y'ALL. The lobster quesadilla? GET IT. It's a delight. The thing I can't get over is a short rib ragout (sp?). I will be dreaming about this for years to come. Our amazing waitress, Veronica, guided our decisions, so make sure to ask you server! They will NOT steer you wrong. On top of that, the bartender, Selah, made to most incredible Watermelon margarita. This is an experience for the books. The old review is still left below, but this visit MORE than made up for it. Get down here ASAP; I can't rave this place enough and look forward to our trip next year already! Wildly over-priced. 9 add-on for shrimp on ceasar salad for 5 shrimps is pretty rough, especially when they come overcooked; I actually got that and the chicken add-on, which while cheaper, was also worse (dry, shredded, and a miniscule amount for the charge). Staff is incredibly friendly, though, and the drinks are fine. Go with someone who's been there before and stick to what they order. The crab-cakes are a favorite of my fiance's, but I wasn't so keen on them. Just be prepared to spend money, and maybe ask your server for recommendations.
