What diners say — our read

If these 28 reviews agree on a topic, it is front-of-house. The staff tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.8 stars. How long an order takes is the next most common subject, in 21% of reviews (averaging 4.8).

More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 26 of 28. Of the 28 rated reviews, 27 sit at four stars or better and 1 at two or below.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. That result dates from February 25, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 100% of the Volusia County restaurants we grade. Nothing was written up at that inspection at all.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. Full reviews follow below in the order they were left.

    Just a fantastic restaurant with an unbelievable view. Jessica was spot on with her recommendations and the Seabass unparalleled.

    This was our first time here, it will not be the last. Our server Allison was amazing. She was attentive but also let us enjoy our meals. The view was great, even with a rain storm that quickly passed. Wether you're on a date night or celebrating a special occasion, Top of Daytona is the place to be.

    Visited 6-26-26 for 5:30 PM with reservation. First time. Parking is clearly marked when you pull in to the Peck Plaza. Dedicated elevator for restaurant clearly marked with signs. Arrived early and sat at bar. Jessica was bar tending and the specialty cocktails (about $15) were very good and generous pour. She suggested we walk around entire floor admiring view on way to be seated and it was a treat we would have missed if she hadn't suggested it. There is not one bad table in this restaurant. Every single table is next to window offering breathtaking views of both ocean and intracoastal. The larger seat tables are elevated above the tables against the windows and also have spectacular, unobstructed views. Enough space between tables so you can sit comfortably and enjoy your dining which is so nice instead of being crammed together. We had a side Caesar side salad and the warm bread was delicious. The Mediterranean Chicken was delicious and filling. The pita and hummus with fresh parsley was outstanding. The Pesto Faroe Island Salmon with tumeric rice and roasted asparagus was also delicious. Allison was our server and she was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about restaurant and food, prompt, and gave enough privacy to enjoy our date night. I did not get the server assistant name but he was very attentive as well keeping water glasses filled and very pleasant. The entree pricing ($48-$70) is what I would expect for a private restaurant with the overhead of operating on top of…

    Holy moly food was delicious but I gave it 5 stars for our server Alison ! She was exceptional Thank you Alison for your patience and kindness throughout my dining experience with my family

    The view was the only thing great here. Food was lackluster along with the service. I made a reservation for my girlfriend’s birthday, and even left multiple notes and was willing to pay for them to leave a small note that said “Happy Birthday”, this was completely ignored along with any other mention or acknowledgement. Now I’m not looking for free stuff, but to deny us any sort of mention of a birthday seemed crazy to me. I can hear explicitly for this occasion. And it’s not like the place was full, we were one of maybe 5 tables there. And now I see why. Between the bland food, service, and prices. The only thing that someone eating here can leave satisfied with, is the view. So congrats, this place has a good view. Other than that, not much else to offer.

    💝My family took me here tonight to celebrate my Birthday and it was phenomenal! 🎂❤️‍🔥 The aerial view of the ocean (29 stories up) was both peaceful and breathtaking. The restaurant is very clean and beautifully set up. The food and drinks were perfectly delicious, and us being us we all tried everyone's dinner. 🌺🍹 Our waiter, Austin, was wonderful... very pleasant, and knowledgable. It's so nice having a waiter who clearly loves his job.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Top Notch!

    We are here on vacation and wanted to try this place. We made reservations and I added a not requesting a table by the windows on the ocean side. Surprisingly we got what we requested. We started with drinks. Lemon drop martini and vodka tonic. They were both great! The rolls they brought were hot, hot and delicious! The food was incredible! We started with the hot garlic butter shrimp appetizer. On the menu it says "spicy" but it was not spicy at all. Great flavor, I just don't think there needed to be a "spicy" notation. The entrees we ordered were the sweet corn scallops scallops and Chilean sea bass (substituted mashed potatoes for roasted potatoes). I also added a scallops. For dessert we had the Grand Marnier crème brûlée. I wish I could remember our server's name (she had long blond hair in a ponytail) but she was fantastic! We were able to park right outside the garage. They had signs inside the parking garage to guide you towards the door to take the dedicated elevator to the top. We would definitely return next time we return to Daytona. It was a prefect date night.

    It was kinda warm in there. After about 10 minutes of being there I started to sweat. My wife was trying to fan herself with the menu. We had to hurry and eat so we could go. The place was great, wish we could have been able to really sit and enjoy the atmosphere and view.
