   Horrible service, long wait for drinks and food. Waitress was rude, never came over to table, we had to go find her in the restaurant for a check and to see where the rest of the order was.

   They weren't open despite their hours on website and Facebook saying they would be. They also allowed me to make a reservation days in advance and didn't reach out to correct. Sent them an email, and ignored.

   This was my first visit to Topside. I was excited to see the building open again, as they have a great rooftop deck. The food was delicious. Good-sized portions too. The only issue we had was they seemed very understaffed. For a Friday lunchtime, having only one waiter for both floors was a lot. It did take a while to get things like ketchup for our fries, as well as closing our check. But the waiter was definitely trying. Wasn't his fault. Overall, a pretty decent experience. My only suggestion is to have more staff scheduled.

   We went early on a Thursday for happy hour. We were lucky enough to get a table on the outside deck. Our waiter was super friendly. He brought our drinks promptly and then our food. We each had a burger, one a vegan burger, and they were all nice sizes and very flavorful.

   Made a reservation for Easter brunch in the rooftop. Greeted and seated immediately. Served water and had time to review the menu. Server was attentive and food was good (eggs and chicken/waffles). Bloody Mary was excellent. Enjoyed our meal and service. Three piece light jazz band playing on first floor as we exited. Will definitely return.

   It was okay. No greeter at the door seem to negate the need to make a reservation. Waiter did his best to cover the lack of staff and was very responsive. Food was good but the fish and chips was too salty.

   Food was great! Our server was great however the food took forever to come out. It wasn’t even crowded. We were 1 of 4 tables. We had a 1:00 lunch reservation at 1:40 we still didn’t have our food!

   Had an amazing meal! The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Every dish we tried was delicious, especially the red duck curry bun along with summer high, which was outstanding. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Can’t wait to return!

    Had the misfortune of making our reservation same time as a large party. Food took forever to be served. 2 waitstaff didn’t seem to know what to do. Given only 1 menu to share between 3 people until I requested more. Served a dry waffle with their Virginia brunch meal. Companions lunch meals were good they said. Asked for a mimosas and was told the bar was closed. At the same time the large group was receiving them. One waitress (in a Temple tee) was excellent. She ran around putting out the fires the others caused and never lost her smile.
