Editorial Review for Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery – by Jennifer Bringle
In Short
The spacious interior includes a large bar with signature beers brewed on-site. Step out onto the patio and enjoy your meal at one of the outdoor tables. Menu offerings are more sophisticated than other restaurants on Franklin, with appetizers like creme fraiche shrimp cerviche and entrees such as oysters Florentine gnocchi and chef's filet mignon. More traditional diners will like the buttermilk fried chicken, and lunch options such as the Top cheeseburger and paprika chicken sandwich.

A group of friends and I made the grave mistake of thinking TOTH would be a good selection for dinner this past week... the experience was nothing short of disastrous! I used to go to this place all the time, and can honestly say it has gone DOWN HILL fast! It seems like this restaurant now intentionally targets a very drunk crowd of sloppy beer chuggers and NOT diners. Our party (consisting of 8 people) came out to celebrate a birthday. There had been a football game earlier in the night, and the bar was not super crowded. However, our party waited almost three hours to be seated!!! Despite having reservations, we were barely permitted upstairs by the incredibly rude door security (who at 5'3" wouldn't have been able to bounce anyone, if necessary). We were told we would not be allowed to go up and meet our party until out table was ready to be seated; this did not stop them from filing in a semi-conscious group of drunk undergrads. Once upstairs, we were groped by hideous drunkards. Our server seemed bothered to have a table, the food wasn't good. TOTH- leave the frat parties to the frat houses... not your early evening Saturday night dining. I've talked to a lot of people who have had a very similar experience. If you want to be burped and spilled on, go to Top of the Hill. If you want a nice dinner, let me suggest the Lantern or Elaine's.... or *anywhere* else on the strip.
Pros: Location
Cons: Door Staff, Management, Clientele

The food is good. The service is usually great. Keith is the best bartender there. He always remembers my name and asks me how school is going. Pretty neat that that can still happen these days. Yea Keith!
Pros: Keith!
Cons: Sometimes slow service.
