    Saranac root beer
    Alexis L.

    stopped by this diner at the end of a girl trip and it was fantastic! Colleen was so friendly and made amazing suggestions. french dip sandwich was delicious, definitely get the brown gravy with the fries 10/10. very clean and overall lovely experience.

    Just fried haddock is made directly on the premises and it is wonderful!!

    From the second, I walked in the door and was greeted by the hostess in the warm ambience of tops. I had a pretty good idea that I was going to have a great experience! Then my waitress Colleen came to my table and was so pleasant and had great recommendations !! I just had the greatest tasting fried haddock sandwich that I will continue to come back to enjoy!!

    Ordered the chicken Caesar wrap and the chicken was great but there was just a bit too much lettuce that quickly got soggy. The potato wedges were yummy and the pink lemonade was refreshing during the heat wave. Our server was attentive but definitely seemed to be handling too many tables at once.

    12 oz. NY Strip w/ Sautéed Wild Mushrooms, Grilled Asparagus, and Mashed Potatoes
    Michael B.

    As we approached the entrance we were left with a promising anticipation given a small queue of people waiting to be seated, and a nearly full dining room. The staff appeared busy and cheerful adding to the positive vibe. After requesting a "table for two," the hostess agreed to our suggestion waiting at the bar with her promise of a 10-minute wait. The bar showcased a diverse selection of liquors and beers, yet, unfortunately, we weren't attended to during our 10-minute wait. Once seated in a generously spaced booth, our waitress, Jillian, promptly took our drink order. Cold Adirondack Pilsners swiftly arrived, and Jillian suggested a few extra minutes for us to peruse the extensive menu, featuring over 120 items. Opting for the January special--6oz Ribeye and Crab stuffed shrimp with rice and broccoli, and from the regular menu, the 12oz NY Strip with grilled wild mushrooms--we added Caesar salads as our choice of soup or salad. Our high hopes took a hit when our dinners arrived. While the steaks were flawlessly cooked (medium rare for the ribeye and rare for the NY strip), anything not from a pre-made Sysco package lacked seasoning entirely--no salt, pepper, or butter. The only flavor on the steaks seemed to be accidental splatters from nearby on the flat-top griddle during cooking. Surprisingly, the stuffed shrimp and sauce were the only highlights, possibly because they originated from a box. I sympathize with the regulars who think they're getting a quality meal. Setting that aside, let's focus on the positives - Our server, Jillian, provided solid service, being attentive without rushing us. We truly appreciated her excellent service. The cost was highly competitive compared to nearby restaurants, with four beers and two dinners amounting to $78 before tipping. Accurate score: 2.6/5.

    Hash with eggs English muffin juice on the side
    Stacey G.

    Recently met a friend to break bread & visit, lovely place!! We enjoyed a wonderful welcoming waitress who was patient, kind and attentive (big tip for sure). The place was busy and only getting busier, however we were welcome to stay and enjoy our visit. The food was delicious picture attached. If you love diner food like I do you will enjoy your time here. I got hash with eggs and English muffin, yummy orange juice too! I will go back when in the area. Bathrooms clean. Parking lot safe. Wonderful experience!

    Stale old kids "french fries."

    The food and customer service were equally terrible. Their kids menu is not kid friendly at all. Why in the world would you offer soup to a small child and not have an alternative? The potato wedges were the farthest thing to a French fry and I tasted one. They were dry and old tasting. My chicken was tough, my husband's burger was raw in the middle and the burger buns were stale and dry. My kids also wanted the cookie that was offered with the kids meal and they were all out with no other options! The server was extremely slow and for a diner we waited way too long. I will not go back here. Not sure why everyone rants and raves about it.

    Try the Broiled Scallops! My picture is after I already had 4 of them (ONLY $16.99 ) w/soup or salad, starch and veggie I also recommend the sausage and chicken risotto. For breakfast they offer HOMEMADE Cornbeef hash, it's to die for. This is not typical diner fare, it's very well made delicious food. We recently ordered the homemade corn beef hash family breakfast deal, the description say it feeds 4 but it was more like 10+ servings, and just as good as dining in. I do like my hash crispy so I just re-heated it to crisp it up.

    Roast beef club with sides of french fries, cole slaw and pickle.

    If you find yourself at the "5 corners" in Rotterdam, stop at Tops. Amble parking and plenty of seating among the decorative palm trees. (Not sure what the palms did or were supposed to be conveying.) I have a few go-to items for new eateries: buffalo chicken wraps, roast beef sandwich or a salad. Pictures already online showed a roast beef sandwich, which if the picture is accurate, would have to be my selection. My roast beef club was all that you would hope a great sandwich could or would be. The side of steak fries was amble enough for me and my partner with extra fries left. Lovely crisp on the outside with the lovely texture in the middle that makes you keep eating until you can't eat any more. Club was filled with a layer of devine rare roast beef. Ahhh. My favorite. And then there's the layer of lettuce, tomato and bacon. You need to unhinge your jaw to fit this sammy square in your mouth. Also accompanying this sandwich was a bowl of cole slaw and a quarter pickle. My meal was well worth the stop. SO chose a beef pot roast. It did not have the visual appeal I expected, nor was the cut a pot roast piece of meat. His sides looked better. Are desserts homemade? Unknown. No room for dessert since I finished the sandwich and a good deal of fries. Wait staff seemed very personable. It is a very relaxed atmosphere. Would suggest if your in a hurry that maybe this is not for you.

There is a parking lot behind the restaurant with free parking after 5. The menu reads exciting and includes a lot of fun and modern ingredients, the space is bright and inviting and we had great service. The cocktail menu was small and uninspired, but we enjoyed a few cocktails. My favorite of the night was a dirty martini with house stuffed blue cheese olives. Their aviation inspired cocktail called Flight 99 was okay, but left me wanting an aviation. We decided to get a few appetizers the share over some cocktails and didn't order any entrees. We started with the Shrimp Ceviche and the Foie Gras Torchon. Both plates arrived and the presentation left a lot to be desired. The shrimp ceviche was good but the baby corn and sweet potato were weird. It didn't belong at all. I don't know if it is traditional or what but it just took up space, made the presentation uninviting and added nothing to the dish. The chips were great though and the shrimp were large and of great quality. The Foie gras torchon was like a chilled pate, it was alright. 4 tiny slices of toast was not enough for the plate, the green strawberry compote was a good pairing, the dressed greens were fine but again, didn't add much to the dish. We heard the special of soft shell crab and wanted to order it. For the second round, we ordered the bone marrow and soft shell crab. The bone marrow was maybe 3 bites, the bones were very dry and didn't have much marrow to scrape so that was disappointing. The soft shell crab was a large portion and was very good and treat to have during the season. However, it was $65. Maybe our fault for not asking but that price is obscene for that dish. It was soft shell crab over spinach. We were pretty full and ended the meal with bread pudding which was fine. Our bill before tip was $280 for 4 appetizers, 6 cocktails and a dessert. I was sticker shocked. I really regret not asking the price on the soft shell crab. The food did not live up to the hype at all and I don't think I would return based on the quality and prices.

Today, we had a 10" Carrot Cake for an 18th birthday party. It not only looked picture perfect, it tasted great. The website describes the many flavors of cake available in different sizes in round or sheet cake style. When you call to order, you speak to a knowledgeable staff person to select a flavor, size, frosting, and filling. Then you select the decorations and colors you would like. The signature iconic script handwriting of their decorators is attractive and distinctive. You know it is a Villa Italia cake when you first see it. However, always check a custom order cake before you leave. When we picked up the Carrot Cake, the worker did not open box to show us the cake. They should be trained to show the costumer the cake before checking out! Fortunately, I did open box and saw a pink frosted cake saying HB Jackie. My cake was for an 18 yr old grandson.
