    Food looked good but needed seasoning. It was expensive for a mediocre meal. This was a “one and done” experience.

    Topside DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The food was 10/10. Our serve (I want to mention her name to give credit but I won’t in order to remain compliant) whose name started with L could NOT have been sweeter or more helpful. They have a fantastic N/A beverage selection and the ambience and view are amazing. The only slight nock would be the standing group of about 15 people who came in around 9pm and remaining standing until we left at around 9:30. They were either waiting for tables or simply standing and meeting. The room became quite loud form that point on. But even still, Topside is now a top 3 restaurant in Baltimore for my liking. I will be returning to dine there without question!

    Everything was great but I expected for the price they would at least have better wine glasses. Red cabs need big glasses.

    Beautiful setting overlooking Mt Vernon especially if you’re there at sunset. Inventive cocktail list and nice wine selection. There’s a new chef. we loved the apps, mains, and dessert we tried. We’ll be back!

    My server Sue, was wonderful! I loved the music choice of 90's R&B music! The food was pretty good but did need salt but the chicken was cooked perfectly, the Spanish shrimp was good and fresh I wish the polenta was creamy like a "shrimp and grits" kind of dish. The drinks were really good.

    I am Vegan, not a squirrel. Both the Revival salad and the Lions Mane mushroom entree were bland. I am a Chef and like to eat out from time to time but that $70 bill was not worth it. I communicated my dissatisfaction to the server, Larisa, but to no avail. I deserve a comped meal for my disappointment. We vegans love to recommend good food because taste is important to us. Sadly, I cannot recommend Topside for much more than a glass of water.
