Topside's great cocktail selection stole the show! Creative, refreshing, and balanced each drink was crafted with care. We tried four different ones and loved them all. It's a must-visit spot for cocktail enthusiasts.

They offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan food selections. Every plant-based dish was delicious and satisfying. It's great to see thoughtful options beyond just salad. Topside really caters to all dietary needs with flavor!

We had a great rooftop experience with skyline views and cool breezes. The setting is perfect for both casual hangs and romantic nights. Pair it with a cold drink and you're in for a treat. Truly one of the best rooftop spots in the city.

The excellent weekend brunch at Topside is a real treat. Fluffy pancakes, savory omelets, and fresh coffee hit the spot. Add the rooftop view and it becomes the perfect morning escape. It's our new favorite brunch destination in the city. 5 stars!

I tried the soft shell crab special and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked and well flavored. I do think it's a little in the pricier side for lunch since the sandwiches do not come with fries. The soft shell crab sandwich was 22 and fries were 5. My friend got the chicken sandwich which he also said was very good. I would come back and try happy hour.

Wow. Just Wow!!! The Food here was Much better than I expected for a quick lunch!! Gerson (our server) made it a point to show us the upstairs outside seating area which was heated and very comfortable!! My Wife & I both Loved our Burgers, the plating and harmony of Flavors were Top Notch!!! This Place is a Quality Gem in the Center City Restaurant Space and should be on the list of Fans of Good Food!!! Loved This Place, and We will be back! Do Yourself The Flavor and Stop in for a bite!!!

This spot should be called Topnotch Tavern because the food, service and location earns that title! Our waiter Tom was really helpful in making food and drink choices and he didn't steer us wrong. We will surely return to try other tasty dishes and drinks!
