Top Hatters is a wonderful place to dine. The reason to knock off one star is the portion sizes are really small. I understand it is the pandemic and food prices have gone up, but charging $41 for an ox tail stew that is barely enough for one person does not make me walk away happy. The rock fish was $37 and was good, but again, small portions for the price. $70 per person later, my husband still was hungry and had a snack when we got home.
Fantastic gem! Street parking reservations recommended. Nice outdoor area, sat inside though. Convenient set up, phone scan the menu, order and check out on your time table. Minimal interaction required with the serving staff. Interactions were pleasant. Format is sharing plates, food was quite delicious.
I showed up on a random Saturday night without a reservation. Although the place was very busy, they had a few tables inside that were free, as well as lots of bar space (where I sat). The bartenders were so friendly and helpful. One of the bartenders (whose name is can't remember 😬), was so nice, and made me a couple of drinks for their upcoming summer cocktails menu. Each one was delicious!
I had the savory donuts as an app. They were very good, although I wish it had some kind of dipping sauce (personal preference though). I had the oxtails and grits as the main course, and it was fire. So good!!!
Overall would highly recommend, and will definitely be back to try the other dishes!
My wife and I enjoyed one of the bests experiences in dining in a long time. The restaurant was very charming and the service was excellent! My wife had the grilled octopus and I had pork belly. It was amazing along with the dumplings and tissue bread. We definitely will come back and highly recommend Top Hatters for everyone!
I had lunch and dinner in this place. Great food and beautiful food presentation.
Outdoor seating is really nice and refreshing.
Custard cream coffee and grilled octopus are my favorite.
The portions are not big for a restaurant in the USA.
