Topside Terrace offers a "fantastic rooftop brunch experience" with delicious dishes like Carne asada chilaquiles and Chicharron chicken & waffles. The atmosphere is enhanced by live music, attentive staff, and great service. Though some find the menu slightly pricey, the overall experience is memorable and worth a visit.

Service was terrible, even though there were very few guests there. Food was not that good for the prices they are charging. I ordered an iced coffee with a splash of half-and-half, and they seemingly brought me a cup of half-and-half with a splash of coffee.

Fantastic experience for a rooftop bar. The happy hour menu was great food and fancy drinks. We had a full meal plus drinks for the two of us from the HH menu. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. We are just visiting California for the weekend but I would put this one on my list to come back to!

It was barely even sprinkling and they cancelled my reservation because it was « raining ». Caused us a whole hassle to find somewhere nice last minute for such an important dinner.

Enjoyed 'Social Hour' on a recent beautiful Sunday afternoon. Delicious apps and great service. Bonus for visiting on Sunday is that metered parking was available near the venue and free. We will be back!

Asked for a table with shade and space for a stroller for our 5 month old. Have to carry the stroller up some stairs to get in. If there was a more accessible option, it wasn't obvious and no staff let us know when they saw us carrying the stroller back down the stairs. All umbrellas were placed at the already occupied tables that were in the shade of the building. None were available in the sunny side of the patio, where we were seated. They did not staff enough for the day (Father's Day). When they did finally get to us, service was pleasant, and the manager jumped in to help with tables. Still had to ask for sugar for coffee and water several times. Food is overpriced. Tasted decent, but at $20 for a small breakfast burrito, I expect amazing. Live music by Mercedes Moore was wonderful.

Terrific, fluffy shrimp omelette. Best omelette I’ve had in a long time. Great food, and who can beat a terrace experience on a lovely San Diego Sunday?? My only critique: they could have been more johnny-on-the-spot with coffee refills.
