Excellent East side place to eat! As a Chicagoan, I was practically raised on Arnie Morton's great steaks, but The Top Steakhouse equals excellent competition around town in Columbus. The restaurant has lived up to its longstanding reputation on the many occasions that I have taken guests there to dine. The steaks are as tender and tasty as any I've been served at many places across the country. My persnal favorite at Tops is the filet mignon. Other menu items, like shrimp cocktail, are great also. Menu specials have included delicious oysters Rockefeller and beef Wellington. The service has always been very friendly yet efficient. The bartenders make great martinis. My friends enjoy the intimate atmosphere, which includes an interesting but subtle piano bar. A full course meal tab of appetizers through dessert might seem a bit pricey, but is less than other steakhouses and worth the value for a special dining experience.

I live in New York City, where you can go to all of the great steakhouses. This weekend I had an outstanding time in Columbus, topped off by The Top Steakhouse. All the people who served and waited on us were superb,friendly, and couldn't be more cordial. The steak and ribs which my party ordered was better than any I've had at home. Looking foward to my next time in town.

We've eaten at steak houses all over Ohio and The Top is just that. Great steak, cooked just right. Piano, great bar and 1950's atmosphere. Service is second only to the food. Highly recommended for a romantic and enjoyable evening.

Pros: Food, service and atmosphere.

The Top Steakhouse is a customer of ours, and the manager gave us a gift certificate to try the place since we had never eaten there. The ambiance, food, and service were outstanding, and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. One thing to remember is to get your wallet out, cause it is not cheap, but the overall experience is well worth it.

Pros: Food, Service, Ambiance

Cons: A bit pricey, but worth it

The Top is the best around. We LOVE the service -- Scott Truelove is the best Manager in town - and we LOVE the overall service and food at The Top. Another great meal at The Top tonight (and we've had plenty!)!!!! The specials cannot be beat, but more than that, the neighborhood feeling is the best. If you haven't tried this place yet, you are missing out! It's hard to share such a great secret, but The Top is better than anywhere else in Columbus! Better than the other steak places, and better than the bars for cocktails, too. This is my all time favorite -- I'd rank it in "The Top" Nationally!

Pros: Best Food, Best Service, Best Atmosphere

Cons: What?! NONE

I find it hard to believe that Outback could have ranked higher than The Top. The Top has got what it takes to be much higher than a chain steak-house. Old time class and charm along with a great meal.

I've had a lot of steaks, and the Top consistently has the best I've ever tasted. Unpretentious atmosphere, and a value too, when compared to its high brow competition!

Excellent steak and service, especially for the price paid. The Top is always the place to go when you need a great steak.
