The Top Steakhouse is a supper club-style fine dining restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. The iconic steakhouse has been a Columbus institution since its doors opened in 1955. The restaurant serves a classic steakhouse menu with seasonal specials incorporating local ingredients and Ohio-proud flavors.
Located on Main Street in the charming neighborhood of Bexley, The Top has long been a destination restaurant in Columbus. The restaurant is conveniently located just a short drive from Downtown Columbus as well as the John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
The Top was created and operated by Lee Henry and Bill Sapp, who also owned Columbus’ Polynesian landmark The Kahiki. The Top’s mid-century aesthetic has been maintained over the decades. Inside, you’ll still find all the hallmarks of a true 1950s supper club—dimly lit, wood-paneled dining room with leather booths, shiny copper bar lined with longtime regulars, an original piano bar hosting nightly live music.
The family-owned and –operated restaurant remains a beloved spot for timeless classics like charbroiled steaks (like the customer favorite 20-ounce dry aged USDA Kansas City strip steak), jumbo lobster tails and olive-studded gin martinis.
The Top is consistently voted Best Steakhouse in Columbus by Columbus Alive and (614) Magazine readers.
