The food and service from Hannah, our waitress, was so amazing. The flavor profile is spot on for each item on the menu. From the Spainsh shrimp to the Sunday dinner short rib. We loved it here.

Food was amazing. Service was less than desirable (slow service, including valet). Breathtaking views from our table.

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.
