Unbeatable views of the city, absolutely perfect place to see a sunset, but be sure to make a reservation to time it correctly. If you make a reservation far enough in advance, your request for a view in any particular direction should be accomodated. I proposed to my fiancee here and, having noted this occasion on the reservation, the service was top notch. They provided us a perfect window seat and even notified a couple seated next to us, who then proceeded to capture photos of the moment and sent them to us right then and there. Aside from the unexpected documentation of the proposal (pictures we will treasure forever), they also sent out two complimentary glasses of champagne. This will be our special date night/drinks spot forever!

We had Thanksgiving dinner here. Beautiful view and very good food. An excellent variety. The only downside was that it was very crowded. At one point, the line for turkey wrapped all the way around the Buffett table.

I love the Top of the Mark. It’s one of my most special places in the city. I’m a history lover I love the classic city feel of both the hotel and the lounge. Linguine and I appreciate being treated with such respect and appreciation. It’s what will keep the Top of the Mark as one of the best spots on the west coast!

From the moment we stepped off the elevator , and were led to our beautiful window view seats, we wer treated royally. It was our dear friend's 90th birthday. The piano player not only played her song, he also came over to say hello! Our waitress was lovely, attentive and funny! The buffet was delicious and eclectic. Our friend was surprised with assorted dessert samplers and a candle topped cupcake. At the next table was a lady celebrating her 91 st birthday-- we plan to meet again next year-- same time - same place!

The Top of the Mark was the "top" restaurant we were lucky enough to get reservations for. We came for the Sunday Brunch. Everything was unbelievable. The food presentation was amazing. The food could not have been better! We travel with our high school friends at least once a year. This year was San Francisco, Carmel and Napa Valley. Top of the Mark was the best by far!

We (party of 3) attended the Sunday Brunch on July 31st and were very impressed with the staff, especially Jose, our waiter. He was great and made the occasion all the more special. The food was, as expected, exceptional, The view was very scenic as it was a clear day. We had been planning to have Sunday Brunch there for years and finally got around to it. It will certainly not be years before we return!

The view is incredible and one of a kind. But the service is horrendous. I have been here 4x in the last 10 months - mainly friends visiting the city want to dine here for brunch. On all 4 occasions service has been poor. Just think, the servers are only pouring champagne, coffee, water, OJ and removing dirty plates. That's it. You get your own food. If this place did not have the view, it would be empty. My main dissatisfaction is the lack of service: -Refills on all beverages are not timely -Sloppy service - servers spill coffee on the saucer when pouring and they do not bother to change the saucer or wipe it up. -Servers are slow to remove dirty plates -No crab crackers on the buffet or even when you ask. They answer from the server is - "Oh, all the crab is cracked already". And it is not. -Eager to cash out your check if you are dining on the later seating, as the server wants to go home and forget about you. -Obviously servers are old time union employees that run the show. Management does not run the show. Pretty sad. You would think for $89 a head, the service would be much better.

The Sunday brunch is very pricey, but worth it!! It's strange that the city does not have many upscale Sunday buffet brunch spots. We actually WALKED uphill from Union Square to the Mark Hopkins--the last block was a killer--but it was worth it. The cold items--caviar, ikura, oysters, pate, etc. etc.--were wonderful, and the made to order waffles were "melt in the mouth." Our server, with over 40 years experience, was very attentive and hospitable. We will make it a point to have Sunday brunch there again if we ever visit SF again!

This is one of our favorite restaurant for brunch. We always request for the "weepers" section of the restaurant - the view is spectacular. Our recent visit to the Mark - service was exceptional. Food: that day they had lamb, prime rib and grilled pork in addition to their traditional breakfast plus many many more items such as caviar, oysters, crab, prawns..... Dessert: Almond tea cake and bread pudding - delicious

Nice presentation of food. However, when a guest of mine used the elevator to go down to the main floor, the elevator would not allow them back up to the brunch. If you are going to lock out the elevator at a specific time, post that time clearly & inform your guests so they can plan accordingly. Also, tell your pianist to continue his playlist but SLOW DOWN THE TEMPO!!!! He ruined most of the ambiance racing through what could have been lovely music. A five star hotel should know this. If you charge five star prices then provide five star service.

Top of the Mark offers a wonderful brunch with scenic views! Unfortunately the brunch price has risen a bit too much in the last few years so the overall value has diminished. It is still a very good place for those who wish to celebrate a very special occasion and are not price adverse.
