I am honestly not trying to be flip or put down any place or person. I have been a strong advocate of getting a really nice place here and really hope one comes and we support it. There are some good places to eat, I like Lopez, Palmer, Cane Garden, Sukura, and a few others. But IMHO none of them come close to being upscale.

I would describe an upscale place as one with an excellent menu, excellent service, many different nightly specials, a well known highly rated chef, an outstanding wine list, white cloth table cloths and napkins, and a place everyone who went raved about how good it was.

I do put Bonefish and Lopez in an upscale category as well as places like Ruth's Chris, etc. Excellent food and excellent service. Cane Garden & Sakura are in the good category, not upscale. If there was a highly rated chef, I might put that in an exclusive restaurant category.
