    Steak and fries
    Katie F.

    I was impressed with this place! You never know what you'll get with a hotel restaurant, but the views and ambiance really set the tone. Enjoyed all the food and drinks ordered. Pictured are the Irish bliss + crème brûlée martini and steak with fries... to die for! Loved the views all around. The only draw back is it's a tad bit colder being close to the windows.. to be expected though!

    Excellent service and cocktails with amazing views! Had the tuna appetizer and it was delicious!

    The spread

    This ain't your mamas embassy suites... I'm going all the way up! What a special place Rockford has. Atmosphere- they did a great job of restoring this, to what I believe was an old faster factory, into a great hotel, event space, and restaurant. The roof top includes not one not two but three outdoor decks with a great view of the Rock river. White lights and fire pits make you feel like you are about an hour 15 to the south east ;) Service- our waiter checked in on us often and provided suggestions for the top things in the area to do as we were just passing through. Great service! Food- they sure do make their food pretty and I'm a sucker for an edible flower. The watermelon feta salad is a must get! Loved the heavy pour on wine ;) Tip- free parking on the weekend.

    Huge portions and delicious options

    Wish I could do brunch here every Sunday , simple peaceful ambience with an amazing menu to please even the pickiest of pallet! We had a group of five for birthday brunches and is going to be our new go to from now on ! Affordable as well for what you get compared to the options in the Rockford area . And the drink menu is impressive as well .

    Another fantastic experience at The Top! This time, we tried a few more items. So far, I've had about everything on the menu and I believe that any option you may get is top-notch. No pun intended. There is no bad choice whether you're ordering off of the drink menu or the food menu. We had got in right when they opened for the day and were greeted with prompt and friendly service from every staff member. For a drink, i definitely recommend trying the 13th Floor. Our brisket flatbread came out hot and delicious and the watermelon caprese (one of my all-time favorite dishes) cooled it down nicely. We also decided to try their signature dish this time around: the pork shank. Amazing. Another one of the best dishes that I've tried in the area. The executive chef even came out and asked how everything was, which was a nice touch to the experience even though it is a causal place to dine. Between the unique food & drinks and a view that you can't get anywhere else in the city, I believe everyone should be sure to add The Top to their bucket list no matter where they live!

    Ok, ahi tuna was ok. The watermelon cheese was great, the scallops were great.

    Food: please see pic. Looks better than it tasted tbh but it didn't taste bad. Ambience: the interior is struggling but the location on the roof is great. Service: 5/5 star. Polite, non intrusive, for left but not overtly. Would I return ? Yes.

    The razzle dazzle
    Renee Giselle L.

    While we didn't order any food, we did get a couple drinks. My friend got a martini and she said it was sweet and not too strong. Since I like my drinks pretty fruity, I got the razzle dazzle. It was not only good, but sooo pretty. As for the atmosphere, it was a nice open space and the noise level was a full roar, making it easy to hear each other. Unfortunately, due to the rain, we weren't able to sit outside but the view was still great from indoors!

    This was the most disgusting service I have ever had from a so called "renewed" business of Rockford. The poor quality cannot even be attributed to it just being from Rockford. My glass had dirt and grime on the inner surface. Couldn't even drink the entire time I was there. Not only that, but the food was subpar and not even close to being worth the price.

    See all

    Limited menu but what they have was good. Try the rooftop outside for a comfortable view and service.
