Phenomenal. While the food and ambiance are both wonderful, the service is outstanding! Every team member made my husband and I feel meticulously attended to while we enjoyed his birthday dinner. A birthday card with a handwritten note was a great special touch. Well done Ruxton! It was a pleasure!

It was fantastic, and they made an amazing dinner for my husband's first birthday since we got married. I booked the day when it does not have the performance event scheduled, due to my husband birthday was Monday. However, their service fulfilled our dinner and time while we were there. I bet I will visit there again to watch the show.

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!

We we are visiting from Kentucky so of course was wanting seafood, but some us were not getting in later in the evening, 8:30 on a Wednesday so not a lot of sit down restaurants were open for a late dinner. We found Docks and it was great! By the water and a lot of food choices! Storm was our bartender and server and did amazing! Unfortunately I didn’t take any food pictures, but we enjoyed everything and drinks!
