Topside Terrace Kitchen & Bar

Great vibes and decor, and a breakfast burger that makes you want to come back for more! Chilaquiles were a flop but the restaurant manager took care of me right away, and was very kind. The orange you glad zero proof drink needs the ratio tweaked between the syrup and the bubbly water. Too much syrup made for a diabolically sweet drink. Overall, the wait staff, atmosphere and the burger will have me coming back, I recommend!

Had the Wakame Poke Bowl and mixed berry salad. Food was delicious very fresh tasting, large portions. Service was great. Sat outside there was a band, volume of music was perfect, still able to have a conversation while enjoying the music. Loved this place would definitely return!

Excellent rooftop breakfast! Very accommodating atmosphere. Perfect for a quick delicious breakfast! The new added desserts was a plus.

Kirsten Leisses

Food was delicious and wonderful atmosphere for a meal or drinks. Had a live band playing as well. Had the Baja caesar salad, burger, and crisped wings. Every element was super tasty.

Jo Coco

The vibe here is amazing! The food was delicious. Do make reservations before coming. Potato Tacos were amazing.

Such a neat space with the live music and mother's Day specials. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope to go back! Ps- we were not hotel guests.

Nice atmosphere. Good for drinks, casual date. Food wasn't spectacular. Limited menu.

Service looked a little slow at first but then they were very tentative. The nachos were surprisingly pretty good but the ceviche came with the same chips so it became a little too much of the same chips. The crudo tuna had a weird taste and flavored we ended up not finishing it. Definitely a nice vibe rooftop bar restaurant

Good experience. Service was good. Habanero wings is not spicy for us spice lovers but well seasoned.

Met some friends here for dinner. A really nice space in the building terrace. Comfortable seating and heaters for those cooler days. I ordered their plant based burger and it was good. I really liked the fries. My wife got the shrimp tacos and she liked those as well. The salmon came topped with pesto of pesto and was prepared very well. My wife got a piece of the mastic in her drink. Looked like a lid of some kind. They comped the drink but they should have done more. The biggest issue was it took a long time to get our food and the place was pretty empty. I think the kitchen probably does room service for the hotel. It’s the only reason I can think of why it took so long. We were in our way to catch a flight and made it quite tight time wise. Not sure I would go back.

Food was good other than one end of my hanger steak was super tough. It was cooked correctly from what I could tell but it was very hard to cut and tough to eat. I left that side alone. Other than that, the rest of the food was good. The tepanade was exceptional, needed more bread to accompany it. The service was super slow. The waiter was a little slow to take our order, but getting anything from drinks to food took ages. I would guesstimate over 10 minutes for our drinks and over 30 minutes before our appetizers came out. Shortly after that, our entrées came out. It wasn't busy and looked like they had enough staff. Ambiance was decent. A small rooftop on a downtown hotel a few stories up.

Nice little spot for brunch. Tried the sope eggs Benedict. It had really good flavor but the dope was very difficult to cut and eat. The service was pretty bad. It was difficult to ask for anything when the server and other staff would disappear.

Brussel Sprouts and service was good. Drinks were ok, the Apple Pie drink didn’t taste like apple pie. Ordered the burger and fries. Burger is a pre shaped patty lacking flavor and the fries are from frozen. Cool place to drink and hang out, but I’d never intentionally eat here again

Not really a “rooftop.” Service seemed a bit slow didn’t really ask if we wanted more drinks. Food was solid but basic nothing you couldn’t get anywhere else. Overall, unremarkable. You can get better service and food elsewhere ohhh and btw….don’t do bdays apparently they do a cake cutting charge of 5$ per person pfft.

I live across the street from this restaurant and it Used to be my favorite place but after tonight we won’t be back. The service lacked in a major way. and although the food presented beautifully, my poke was way too salty and my husband’s salmon was way too overcooked, when we sent it back it took over 25 minutes, there was no apology from our waiter for all the wait. We had it to go. So disappointed..

This was my first time visiting San Diego and unfortunately this restaurant was the worst part of my visit. The valentine menu was not good, the food was over priced, and I was expected to cut my filet mignon with a butter knife!!! Personally I believe this is a great example of a restaurant doing too much and over pricing the experience.

The worst breakfast place. Food was burnt and also when you ask for over easy eggs they bring fried eggs. Medium rare steak is fully cooked thru. One of my coworker bread was literally black. And idk how they could even serve it seeing it? And then at the end we get hit with “oh we don’t take cash btw”. Don’t yall suppose to warn ppl before understanding that someone places like tattoo shops work with cash only? LOL. but no she told us at the end. And just walked away. And they included tip 40$ but questions is for what? What y’all servers did ? The worst job ever they did. Literally full of disappointment. If yall take only cards then warn ppl when they make reservations or when they walk in so they at least have time to run to atm.
