    My daughter food was cold when they brought it to us. The mimosas was horrible. I was taking my daughter out for brunch and she was so disappointed

    Everything about our brunch at The Top was excellent. The delicious food and drinks, the attentive service, and of course the best view in Rockford! The portion size of the orders were also very good for the price. I can't wait to come back with more of my friends and family!

    The food and way overpriced. Not much selections happening on the rooftop for food or drinks. Overall service was mediocre for the price you're paying but then again look where we're at Rockford

    We ordered the Traditional Board and the Steak and Eggs - the food was delish!! They were playing rap music on Easter Sunday, nothing against rap music but there were a couple of older customers in the restaurant and I doubt that's what they wanted to listen to. Our waitress was great! What I wasn't happy with is we were seated at a small 2 person bar top table (there were only 2 of us) we were told the Traditional Board was huge and would take up most of the table. We asked if we could move to a larger table and we were told that they had a lot of reservations and we couldn't move, so they grabbed a second small table and moved it next to our existing table. The table was uneven, wobbly (with a napkin shoved under on side) and they moved them together the long way, so I was further away from the other person in my party, making it hard to talk over the music. We had a reservation too, we were the first people in the restaurant that day, we spent over $100 on brunch and there were only FIVE tables being used the entire hour we were there. There was absolutely no reason we couldn't have changed tables and been comfortable.

    Went for brunch. They were having some special event with a DJ that was WAY too loud. We waited so long to get a drink, we decided to just leave.

    We went for Brunch 3/30/1025. I think this is new for them and hope they will succeed. Cute music and theme from the movie dirty dancing. Food and presentation were excellent. Feel they are working through service/staff learning curve. Took a while to place orders. Food served but had to wait for napkin/silverware. One of the managers was good about checking on us and filling in the gaps. We will go back and see how it goes. This has the potential to be one of the best brunch option in town.
