Description

This restaurant offers a kaleidoscope of experiences, ranging from delightful service to disappointing meals. While many patrons rave about the friendly and attentive staff, encouraging a warm atmosphere, others have faced long waits and forgotten orders. The food, praised for its quality by some, has also received criticism for portions and taste, with several diners expressing displeasure over over-salted dishes and cold sides. Despite these inconsistencies, the charming ambiance and inviting service seem to keep some customers returning, making it a place of potential for both locals and visitors alike.

Michelle and Shana and the team at Top Rail Tavern did such an amazing job for us last Friday. Our group of 33 had a fabulous lunch. The table set up looked so good and it was great to walk in to such a lovely welcome. The meals were delicious, the braised beef cheek was my favourite and we were very spoiled with wonderful desserts as well. Would highly recommend to anyone for a brilliant dining experience, and for that special occasion. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our group will definitely be back. Many many thanks for making our function so special.

I took my partner here for a special date and the service on the phone was super polite and accommodating with some uncertainties i had. The place is small and sweet, (half way homey colourful details here and there and with what looked like happy employees and customers (it was nice . As planned, they had set us up with an extra special table that was beautiful (and the note is just what we needed, thankyou it was lovely we were next to the window that lightened the mood really nicely and it was a good atmosphere. The employees really set welcoming tones and smiles when we were ready and throughout the night and it was highly appreciated! we were constantly attended to for assurance that we enjoyed the meals etc. and we did! Everything was delicious! (Compliments to the chef, again! there was music and that was perfect and not too loud. It was a night full of smiles and perfect for couples and both intro and extroverts. highly recommended!.. I could go on but just go! and I hope this review helps, thank the employees and manager so much for making this night great I ended up with a very full happy man! And me! Great experience :
