The Top

I just discovered that the mushroom ravioli is now a special, not an every-day Pasta menu item, so I highly recommend it to you if it is available when you go to eat here. It’s fire. Had a really good meal on a Sunday afternoon with local beers and shade. It’s really nice that the outdoor area is dog friendly and they provide bowls of water to keep cool.

We went to The Top around 6:30pm on a Sunday during March Madness. I only mention this because it is not a big sports bar and half of the people could have cared less. We sat at the bar which is all the way to the left as you walk into the establishment. From there you have a good view of the place. There was conversation level music in the background and most people at the bar and at the tables were not occupied by their phones which seemed to create a nice social buzz in the atmosphere. There were couples of varying ages from thirty-five or so and up. I wanted to show my friend from overseas a good, clean place with nice atmosphere on St Patty’s Day weekend and this was the place that he thought was the best. If there was a disappointment, it was less on The Top and more on what restaurants in the area are charging and that prices are not what they used to be. Their $12 classic burger (chicken not beef, w/o Tomato, onion & pickle) seemed over-prices and a little small. Again, maybe not their fault but start getting used to what appears to be the new standard. That said, it was tasted good and came out in a timely manner based on the crowd. It you are looking for a place to relax on a Sunday evening with some friends and a little bit of responsible adult atmosphere, you should put this on the list. Parking might get a little tricky if you don’t get lucky, but you can find a place not too far in a couple of minutes.

Our appetizer was quickly served to us black bean cakes. Delicious. We ordered the macadamia nut crusted trout with broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes and the food was amazing. We were too full for dessert but next time we will try something because we were seated close to display case with desserts that looked very tempting.

Love that this place has vegan options! The Buffalo tempeh sandwich is by far the best choice! Hubby tried the vegan Philly and was disappointed, the texture is way off compared to others we’ve tried and it’s super oily. They did the right thing and removed it from the bill. My mom is not a vegan and really enjoyed their Buffalo chicken sandwich. The atmosphere outside is just what we were looking for 😃 it was a gorgeous evening for it! Be prepared to wait it is a busy place! Staff is super sweet! ❤️ Oh and they allow pups 😆
