It's been a while since we ate at Upstate. Used to come here a lot. After having dinner here tonight, we couldn't think of why we stopped coming, other than the fact that there are so many dining options in Manhattan, it fell off of our radar. More likely is the fact that they don't take reservations and there was always a long wait to get in. It made it hard to plan ahead. Unless, you get there a little before 5:00, when they open. By that hour there's already a line. So if you're wanting to eat here, get here by 4:45 or plan on getting on the list for them to call you when a table or bar seat opens. I'll bet a lot of nearby bars benefit from people having a drink as they wait. Once you get in, have the happy hour oysters and beer or cider ($12). Follow up with mussels steamed in beer and house cured salmon. This place is one of a kind. Service is amiable and efficient. The fact that the restaurant has no refrigeration (other than for beverages) is a great marketing hook for an oyster house--it's got to be a fresh shipment every day.

Awesome pizza, subs and other dinner selections. The pies are pretty great as well... oh and I can't forget to mention the ice cream. Good stuff.
