top tier
Best of all
Top tier describes something at the highest level of quality, prestige, or performance.
Originally from systems with literal tiers or ranks, it now applies broadly: top-tier universities, top-tier talent, a top-tier restaurant.
The phrase often implies elite status within a competitive field.
In internet slang, calling something top tier is emphatic praise.
