Very Romantic!

My boyfriend and I went here for a drink and we were very pleased. The staff was attentive and courteous, and of course, the view was amazing. We had an unbelievable seat over looking the city. Great place to celebrate with loved ones, not children. Dinner is pricey, it was $82 fixed dinner on the Saturday night we went. We opted for drinks and appetizers, which were amazing and reasonably priced (for being such a great place).
- Pros: Ambience, Service, Food, THE VIEW!!
Great Bar

No one can deny that Top of the Mark is still an amazing place to catch a fancy cocktail and hang out with your suit buddies after a tough days of deal making. Having that said, be ready to strut your stuff; or risk feeling uncomfortable in your own skin.
- Pros: Amazing ambience
- Cons: Pretentious crowd
Never Again.

Don't go. Ever. We're boycotting Top Of The Mark.
We've been burned by them before from bad service, but this was the last straw. We paid $200 for a dinner that was terrible. We literally did not eat the main course. Then the band completely sucked, it was like amateur hour. We had come for dinner and dancing and we got neither.
We stopped for fast food on the way home. That's not a joke. That's a very sad reality. Imagine seriously doing that, stopping for $5 fast food on the way home from a terrible $200 night at Top Of the Mark.
It used to be a nice place, but now it's just full of hot air. Anything that may have been nice about that place is long gone.
+$50 parking on top of that. I'm tried of trying to bring people there for a nice night only to be made a fool of by the establishment itself. We're through giving them $100 and $200 chances to give us something as simple as service, dinner, and dancing.
We're done with them.
- Pros: They take all your money
- Cons: You're pressured into saying it was a good time because you just wasted so much money.

I have been to the bar at the Top of the Mark many times and still can't get over the gorgeous view. I have never eaten there but I have had many really awesome drinks. It's a tourist must!
A perfect romantic dinner

This is one of the best roof top restaurants i have ever been to. The view from up there was just fantastic. My girlfriend and I went there on a Saturday night and there was live music played which was wonderful. There was a cover charge of $10 which was reasonable. The ambiance was romantic and the food was surprisingly good. But, to top all this up is the dance that you get to do there. Go there for the dance! I highly recommend this place for couples.
- Pros: Music,dance,great martini,breathtaking views
- Cons: Service can be a little better

What a lovely view this restaurant has, and the food that we had for the brunch was excellent. We had a special occasion to celebrate and hence my two little girls were with us. They were jumping all around yet the staff was very courteous. The brunch menu had a huge variety and all the seafood items were all very fresh.We had a great view of the city. This place is a must for special occasions!

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday a few weeks ago. I was absolutely stunned how beautiful the city looked from the Top of the Mark. We got the best seat in the house; a corner window seat. Everything was absolutely fabulous? the food, the dessert and the drinks. We got the chocolate covered strawberries and champaign. Afterward we danced. It was so incredibly romantic. This is one birthday i will never forget!!!
***If you want to impress a date I highly recommend taking her here!***
- Pros: the view, the dessert, the drinks, the romantic ambience
- Cons: cant think of any!!!!

i have been to san francisco the 2nd time and i wanted something special for my friend who was visiting for the 1st time. we went there on a tuesday at 6 pm for a snack and it is a nice open space with a really fantastiv view!! it was not too crowded so we could be seated by the window. the snacks were terrific! of course they are not cheap (they have a menue at the website), but it is great food in that location therefore i don't think it's overpriced (we shared the nachos and a dessert and we were full). i highly recommand that place for tourists- we really enjoyed it! but go on a sunny day or at night when the fog might have lifted!! i am in my 20s and i think they should put a night club in it, that would be fantastic!! i would go there every weekend! :-)
Great View

Get there before 9pm to save on the cover.
Sunset is great too. $10/cocktail isn't bad and the nibble plates are at a fair price too.
Can't beat Top of the Mark for drinks anytime time of the evening!!
- Pros: view, reasonable prices
- Cons: wait when crowded?
