Overall I really love this restaurant and I must say when they're off they're really off, which was our last experience there. Lots of good veggie and flesh eater options. more

I ate at this restaurant with a party of five for brunch. One ordered non vegan french toast, two ordered bugers, one ordered black bean burger and I had a salad. The vegetables in salad were nice and fresh with a good presentation. Overall though it was nothing special. The mango vingarette dressing sounded good but came on the side... more

First visit to the top a few weeks ago. As we had plans, we decided to do an early dinner. Got a table immediately (which I was told is rare for the Top) and ordered relatively quickly. Twenty five minutes later we were still waiting for our food, our host walking by several times not saying anything to us about... more

Had dinner again at The Top last night and it was, as always, a great dining experience. The hostess and waiter were so attentive and accomodating. The food was wonderful. My DH said he hadn't had shrimp gumbo so so delicious since a trip to New Orleans 20 years ago. Steak was prepared perfectly. Garlic mashed potatoes melted in your... more

My favorite place in Gainesville for an informal, relaxed dinner. Good for a crowd or just for two. The tofu triangles and sweet potatoes fries can't be missed. As for entrees, I usually get the spinach salad with scallops which makes for a relatively light and healthy dinner. The food matches well with the atmosphere, eclectic and enjoyable. more

For appetizer selections the plantains and sweet potato fries are incredible. As for the entrees its hit or miss. The potatoe gnoki is awesome but the ribs were the toughest ribs Ive ever eaten in my life. The cocktails are unusual, for instance my Mojito had dark rum instead of light rum, but the basil martinti was very good more

Not my fav

This is not your "run of the mill" type of place. It has eclectic, funky and fun decor. The food is creative and fresh, fresh, fresh. Great for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Wonderful Greek salad, delicious mojitos, great steaks, interesting appetizers. This place attracts all sorts of folks, not just those "fringe" types as other reviews have suggested. more

One of my favorite restaurants in Gainesville. Not fancy, but always great food. Good place to go with group as the menu has something for vegetarians or meat-eaters. more
