We've been coming to the Top of the Mark for over 15 years but recently we've been disappointed. The table service was very, very slow - it seemed to us that they were very understaffed. The band was different than the one posted on their web site. We specifically picked an evening that the band was going to be there and they weren't which was a big disappointment. It doesn't take much to update a web site. We''ve also been disappointed that the Top of the Mark, post-pandemic, is now primarily a jazz venue, which isn't great for dancing unless you dance swing. On our most recent visit on a Saturday night we saw people arrive and, what looked liked after listening to the music, leave. The Mark used to play popular music, Motown, and Latin, which is really danceable. When they had this, the dance floor was packed! Now, we find, it's common to see on a few couples dancing and it's dancing to swing. We also feel that because the venue is now solely jazz/swing focused, that may be one reason why we find that the majority of customers appear to lean to the over 50 crowd. If you want to dance to some great danceable non-swing music, we feel the Top of the Mark is not that venue any more. Until they they update their music, we'll be going to the Tonga Room at the Fairmont across the street where they play 60's, 70's, 80's 90's, some Motown and Latin. The Top of the Mark continues to be a great place for us to get awesome drinks and enjoy super appetizers. It's a SF icon that has breath taking views. We'll always return for that but will rarely go going forward for dancing until they add non-jazz/swing music back to their calendar.

Laura was absolutely fabulous! The short rib sliders were phenomenal. The hummus platter was a real treat. There was so much food we ended up canceling dinner plans at another local eatery.

We didn’t eat, just had a drink. Thus, only one star for food. Good drinks and service, and a beautiful setting and view.
