   Probably the best Sunday brunch buffet in the Columbia area.

   Finding a park was not the easiest task but I made it in time. I treated myself for my birthday so all I did was eat and enjoy the view. At about 45 minutes in my waitresses started buzzing around me much more frequently so I asked do I have to leave at the exact hour and she said yes other were registered in about 15 minutes. Mind you I was alone so there was no one to be chatty with. When my hour was up I left but I did see othered who arrived the same time as me still seated, eating and chatting it up with their friends. An hour will go by fast so if you’re looking for a more relaxed atmosphere with a group of family and friends you may be disappointed.

   The food and service were great as usual. However, the ac was not working and it happened on an unusually warm February day. They were working on it while we were there and there was a little bit of improvement. Our party still enjoyed themselves regardless.

   The food was delicious. Unfortunately some things ran out wven though we were there at lunch time. View is wonderful and servers were all nice but frequency of checkins was lacking. Also it was very hot the on our visit and we were told it was not normal but due to a maintenance issue.

   This is the finest Sunday brunch we've found in Columbia -- and we've tried many of them. Fine food, fastidious service, and fascinating views. Thank you to everyone at Top of Carolina for another delightful experience.

   This was NOT our first time at the restaurant but it was the first time I made reservations for the restaurant on round table app. I don’t know why but I made the reservation for 2 people even though I invited the rest of our party through the app. The person more than likely a manager was very upset I made the reservation with the wrong number of people even though I showed her my phone. We wait 5 minutes or so, my son Maddoxx asked all the cute girls that walked near him what their birthdays were. Maddoxx has autism and his huge thing is birthdays. I think 2-3 girls loved talking to them. So while the lady (older than college students) was upset i made a mistake on the people in my party, the rest of the people there were so awesome. It’s 2/9/25 and it was 80 degrees, and I started sweating early. It was so hot that my daughter got a migraine and had to leave early. The waiter and waitress we had were awesome. Even though it was $175 for 5 and we barely ate anything because the fried chicken was tasteless, the lobster mac and cheese was fishy, the coleslaw and pasta salad was horrible, the brisket slider was awesome, the omelette station remains my fave because the man who runs it is awesome!!! The man running that prime rib station was super sweet to my mom. Try it once definitely

    Servers were very pleasant and welcoming. The food offerings were wide ranging and delicious. Temperature in the restaurant needs better control. Between the sun on the windows and the heat from the station burners, the temperature in the restaurant was on the suffocating side of warm. Add the movement of the room to that over-warm environment and it does not make for a great ambience. We would have enjoyed it MUCH more and stayed longer than 30 minutes had the temperature in the room been more reasonable.
