Sub-par service from the beginning of our visit to the end. We ate at the "Top of the Park." We were seated and no one visited our table to offer us beverages until we were halfway through our meal. The food was just okay, nothing to write home about. We had a gift card to put toward our meal which the establishment would not honour. This is especially upsetting because it was given to us by our parents who are on a fixed income. It was on a weekend so there was "no management there to address the issue," we were told. We called the next business day and we were told they would get back to us. That was a month ago. They finally got back to us with more than a little prompting. They will not honour the gift card and we will never go back.
They have a very good Sunday buffet brunch, the only such buffet in Charlottetown. The cost is only $17 a head and all you can eat.
The quality of the food was very very poor wasn't hot,I went there years ago was better than today for chefs it should have taste but certainly not the case ,cooks should sample food before its presented my first and last visit for the price bag of chips would have tasted better
THE FOOD IS ALWAYS FANTASTIC !!! THE ATMOSPHERE, AND THE SERVICE IS SECOND TO NONE, AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT... TODAY MY FRIEND AND I, HAD A WONDERFUL LUNCH AT THE TOP OF THE PARK, OUR FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT ON P.E.I., HANDS DOWN. THE SALAD, THE MEAL AND THE DESERTS, WERE TO DIE FOR. WE PAID OUR BILL, WENT TO THE WASHROOM, AND OUT TO THE CAR. WHEN WE REACHED THE CAR, I SAID, WHERE IS MY PURSE? BACK TO THE RESTAURANT, NOT THERE... BACK TO THE BATHROOM, NOT THERE... SEARCHED THE PARKING LOT... NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. WENT TO SECURITY, AND REPORTED SAME TO SCOTT TAYLOR. I HAD ALL MY VALUABLE CARDS, AND OVER $300.00 IN CASH, IN MY PURSE. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THE MAINTENANCE MAN FOUND IT IN THE PARKING LOT. THE STRAP HAD BROKEN OFF, AND IT FELL. I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE... THANK YOU TO THE STAFF WHO HELPED ME SEARCH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND SUPPORT, AND THANK YOU TO THE HONEST MAINTENANCE MAN WHO RETURNED MY PURSE !!! MERRY CHRISTMAS.
What I went for was Sunday brunch with my lady. The food was good and there was lots of it. Getting a drink takes a while. But it's an all you can eat buffet, it's busy so if you can't get it yourself you're going to wait.
I love this Restaurant, the atmosphere is fantastic, the food is always great, lots to choose from and prepared so well, presented so beautifully. Everything tastes divine. Starting from the chowder, biscuits and home made rolls, to the salad bar, my all time favourite to the main dishes, lots to choose from and always tastes so goooood and if that’s not enough, wait till you see the desert section, so much to choose from although the white chocolate and raspberry bread pudding is my all time favourite! The staff are the Best, cheerful, smiling ready to help you with everything. They keep the drinks coming and the tea and coffee too , they really make your visit an enjoyable one, take it from me, I keep going back every chance I get! Oh yes, if you like the horse races, this is the spot for you, sit back relax, watch the races in comfort and they’ll place your bets and cash you out too!
The view was great and service is fairly good! Went for their prix fixed meal and it was mediocre. Mussels were slightly sandy still, seafood pesto pasta didn't come together right, Dijon pineapple porkchops were unique but the veggies on the side were soggy, dessert was OK actually (bread pudding and Pina-colada sundae). All in all, come for the experience, leave for the food. Edit: Changed to 4 stars from 3 because the service was actually very quick and pricing was extremely affordable!
We had a fantastic experience at Sunday brunch today. Our server Shelagh was very attentive and brought everything to us quickly. This food was awesome and they kept everything filled up and hot. We left very satisfied and will return.
Great place to eat and watch the racing.
Buffet was great
Always a great time, food is great for a buffet. Super service from great people.
Excellent atmosphere and excellent, tasty buffet! Top notch service, at the Top.
Tasty Sunday buffet, but not so good Id pay for it again. Is about the quality of a decent diner.
Sure is not what in used to be...variety!! But then again, what is....
Amazing service
Had the brunch, it was really tasty and filling
Delicious food and good coffee. The farmers bowl is a must try
Table too crowded, not a very generous serving of potatoes!
Food was fantastic.
Food and wine was delicious and the staff was just amazing!
Didn t realize that the buffet was no longer closed which was fine, I should have checked before hand, so we ordered off of the comfort nights menu. There was no choice for those who have dietary restrictions so you picked what you could eat. The first course was nothing special, the salad my dad ordered had no dressing, which became a theme throughout dinner. The soup came with cheap crackers and again, was nothing to write home about. Dinner came and the vegetables had no discernible seasoning and were nearly raw. The spinach had no dressing for any of the meals and the potato my mother had was cold. The desert I had was served with cold caramel which was an odd contrast to the attempt at a warm bread pudding. The lemon meringue pie, as my mom described it, was gritty, flavourless jello. My father described the crust as a bed of sawdust. I love supporting local but this was a huge disappointment and I wouldn t recommend to anyone. Really seemed like they didn t care about what was going out and nobody cared to check.
We really enjoy the $25.00 per person dinner weekend special. So much, weve tried it twice. Excellent service and friendly staff.
I love the Sunday brunch buffet. Food is awesome.
Small
Frist class 5 star
Always great service and quality
Hit or miss on the food. The rib Buffet its just fair, only two variety of ribs. They are over cooked and they do not fall off the bone. Ive been to the rib Buffet three times in the last year. The lunchtime Buffet I would rate it a 4 and I did enjoy it
Great food
Food either had too much or not enough seasonings. Over cooked
Wonderful atmosphere, great service and excellent food.
A great place !!!!
Had the harvest special. Was quite tasty, but nothing super special.
Always a great meal and deal. I love to dine when the horse races are on and spend $20 on the horses. Beautiful setting and meals always.
By far best bang for your buck for buffet selection and price on the island.
My parents and I always go here for brunch every Mothers Day, Fathers Day and Boxing day and every time, we are surprised at the quality and selection of food. Everything is cooked to perfection and the desserts are to die for. We always find ourselves raving about the ham and how we have to get more the next time we go. You have to go at least once but youll find it hard to only go once.
Been here a few times and always enjoyed ourselves. A large buffet at a good price.
Had to go back for the buffet after trying it a couple of weeks ago....delicious
The staff were all super friendly and provided great service. Almost all of the food was great, and there a wide variety so I got some favourites and to try some new stuff.
Excellent buffet. Nice dining room with lots of room. You dont feel crowded. Service is excellent. Modern atmosphere. Reasonable price.
Brunch Buffet was excellent! Service with waitress and chefs excellent. Chefs catered to my allergies...
This is an awesome restaurant. Great view of the horse races and great food too. The atmosphere of this place reminds me greatly of my cruise last year on the Norwegian Breakaway.
Fantastic.

Really good! Excellent service and delicious food. I really love the beef and chicken. The place is beautiful.
Didnt enjoy the food. They were cutting the prime rib paper thin. Like they wanted to use one roast for the whole buffet. Fish cakes looked terrible. Was not enjoyable.

Family had been going for Christmas brunch the last 5-6 years. Selection of food has been decreasing year over year. Food is good but have been seeing a year over decrease in the options.
Good variety of food and good prices. Never a parking issue.
Went to the Asian Theme buffet for my birthday and it was amazing!
