Unique restaurant with good food choices for different diets. One of my favorite local restaurants!
Went out to The Top tonight. We got there about 40 minutes before close so just wanted to grab a quick appetizer.
Told the hostess this and she directed us to the bar, I asked if we could sit at a table and she said for just apps and drinks they’d like for us to go to the bar.

The Top is a lively restaurant that offers a fun and festive atmosphere with an eclectic LA retro vibe. The staff, including knowledgeable and attentive servers, enhance the dining experience. The menu features a variety of dishes, including filet, blackened salmon, salmon affumicato, blackened tempeh, tofu with spicy peanut sauce, chimichurri steak, and nachos. While the kitchen sometimes has timing issues, with food arriving before salads or appetizers, all dishes are noted for their great taste. Guests highly recommend the vegan Cesar, vegan ranch, and vegan chocolate cake, along with the black bean cakes and rolled eggplant. The drink selection includes strong cocktails like the Panhandler, Swan, and Cucumber, with the Panhandler being a favorite for those who enjoy a sweeter, fruity drink. The atmosphere inside is especially cool with dim lighting, making it an excellent spot to enjoy a meal. Prices can add up quickly, particularly with drinks, so guests should be mindful of their wallet. The patio provides a nice spot to relax and dine. Recent reviews highlight delicious food and great service, with specific mentions of the eggplant rollatini, mushroom ravioli, and Keylime pie, which guests found to be particularly tasty. The place is recommended for any occasion and praised as one of the best restaurants in Gainesville.
