"Overall I thought the food was so-so and the waiter seemed disinterested in his job. The service overall wasn't great. I usually don't care about things like this, but for a decent restaurant, they should at least box up the extras themselves instead of dropping off a styrofoam box for us to do it. Pizza place, fine, "nice" restaurant no. I got the linguini with shrimp, crab and lobster. The pasta had zero taste and the seafood was pretty good. My wife got the crab cakes and they were way too rich without a lot of crab."

"Very good service and sunset view over harbor. Most food was very good, but even though my filet as part of a surf and turf special was tender and cooked medium inside as requested, it was charred and tasted as such on the outside. Totally unacceptable, especially for the cost - could get a better steak at mid-level chain."

"The prices were very high and the food was not at the level of the prices. The crab bisque and gumbo were very good but nothing special about any of the different seafood dishes we ordered. Would not go back except for view but would try another restaurant first... very disappointing as the menu looked very good before ordering..."

"We really enjoyed our dinners at Topside!! All 4 of us had fish prepared in many different ways and with different sauces and sides. We all aged the choices were wonderful-- very fresh and very flavorful. Best fish we have had in a very long time. Add to that the beautiful view and it was a great experience enjoyed to the utmost. We will add it to our favorites list in HH."
