We went for brunch on my daughter's graduation day and had a great time. It was a lovely buffet and the staff was great!

The food displayed on this huge buffet was very tasty. The buffet was neat and well maintained! It was an amazing experience and my sweetheart of a waitress was the icing on the cake! I was very pleased with the service and will definitely return again for the beautiful view of the city, food, and cocktails!

We booked for a large group for graduation lunch. They were so nice about putting two tables together for us. So many nice choices to eat at buffet stations and the views as we slowly rotated was a fun touch for family!

This was our third time in 12 months dining at Top of Carolina. They changed the table seating arrangement and half of our party had their backs to the windows. The view is the experience we go for. The food was better today but the service was poor and there was no view.

The service was superb. The ambiance was nice. The space is quite narrow. The glasses had spots on them, they could have been a lot cleaner. The food was very well prepared and delicious. Overall a very nice experience. Thoroughly enjoyed.

My family and I enjoyed the experience. I would have loved to see more breakfast meat items that were not pork, such as turkey or chicken.

OMG, this restaurant's culinary skills are through the roof...amazing! My wife and I enjoyed celebrating our anniversary with you and your culinary and hospitality staff. From start to finish...nothing fell short of meeting our expectations of great service. Thank you for making this day memorably amazing from the "Top of Carolina", whose art form stretches beyond the top. Psst...we'll definitely be back.
We had a great time! Food was delicious as always I will say, we did not like how the tables were set up this year. Having both sides of the table open, made the walkway very hard to navigate and the people with their backs to the city didn't get to experience the thrill of the concept. I hope this new layout does not stay in place going forward.

I had a great experience and highly recommend it. They offered a wide variety of food options, and everything I tried tasted wonderful.

This was an eating experience. The web site and open table description does not do it justice. I did a lot of research before going and I had little idea where to park, what it cost or what the menu would be. For those like myself I offer the following to help with logistics, 1. There is parking next to the building, Few vacant spots, but I found one. On the way out going north on Barnwell street toward Gervais I found many empty parking spots. There is no fee for parking on Sundays. 2. We arrived about 40 minutes early and were seated right away. We were told that the restaurant closed at 3pm. No one tried to kick us out This experience may be different if the restaurant was over booked. 3. Everyone was very nice, courteous and helpful. Of course we where also polite and respectful. The wait staff eats together after closing and have grown close. This is reflected in their happy to serve attitude. 4. There is a base core of foods served at most of the meals including salads, fresh fruit, breakfast foods. The presentation is an art form. There is so much choice that anyone should be able to select a tasty meal. I loved the rolled smoked salmon tidbits and the cheese with them. The filet mignon was great quality, but medium well at best. I prefer rare, but have friends who prefer it "cooked". The fried flounder was about 1/4 to 18 inch of fish and over fried thick breading, no problem, just took a bite and left it on the plate. 5. We will be back

Terrific service and food (which is a high-quality buffet). View is one-of-a-kind in rotating restaurant! Special call-out to staff, which provided extra attentive service. Good value, too!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Top of Carolina and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment I stepped through the door, the warm and inviting ambiance made me feel right at home. The tasteful décor, and cozy seating created the perfect setting for an intimate dinner. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring our meal was seamless from start to finish. Overall, *Top of Carolina* exceeded my expectations.
