The Top Rooftop Bar & Lounge - Rockford (IL)

4 /5 Sarah: Went here for food prior to seeing a concert in Rockford. We got lucky with finding seats at the bar however I definitely recommend making reservations if you have a group larger than 2 people. We sat at the bar, so we didn’t really get to experience the full view except when we walked around outside. The food was good however kind of pricey. This place makes for a swanky date night. They have premium cocktails and the food was good. They are known for “light fare” which is mostly appetizers and tapas style food. If you are looking for a full meal with sides, The Top does not offer a menu with that.

5 /5 Kelly Cagle: Lovely view. Had the chicken and waffles. Best thing I ever tasted. Ill be back next weekend. It was a little loud, but what can you do? The service was lovely. The food took a while, but the manager come out to apologize.

5 /5 Janken Fosse: What a magnificent little spot right in downtown Rockford! The service was absolutely top tier, the staff there is on it! Friendly and knowledgeable, quick to make accomodations, just couldnt ask for better. The food? Holy moly. Think small bites so you arent shocked by the plates, but theres nothing small about the flavors or the dessert! Do not skip the creme brulee cheesecake! Every bite is a treat, so even though the portions are small, the menu is dynamite! The outdoor area is incredible with the views and the seating. Just a top-tier place all around.

5 /5 KZ: Booked a "brunch" here, even though it was at 12:30. They had a limited menu for brunch, but what they had was done done so very well. Went with my daughter and wife. We ordered one of their boards, the girls split, which had a lot of food on it. They LOVED it. I got the burger, which was done so perfectly! Our waitress was so very nice. The kitchen missed our ticket, so our order was delayed a bit. Our waitress was very apologetic and was straight-up honest on what happened. I really appreciate her honesty. It was no big deal whatsoever. We were having great conversations. The restaurant was a mix of raw walls and finished walls, done beautifully. The views were really nice. We will be back.

4 /5 Laurie S: The service was ok. It was clear the waiter was annoyed. The carnivore hash was ok. The mai mimosa was tasty. The view is amazing.
