Fabulous, my go to restaurant in MV for special occasions

A feast for the eyes as wel as the palate. Extraordinary ambiance, menu, chef sensitivity to a food allergy and service. Truly a unique dining experience. Reservations are a must and we were so glad we made ours!

This is second year we have eaten here and it was superb. The decor is fabulous , service and food were super, definitely would come again.

The food was excellent service equaled food
Server well versed in wine as well as food being offered at restaurant
Everything was 5 star

Lovely place, good food and excellent service. We had a wonderful unhurried dinner. My only criticism is that we did not know that there is a dress code for men: dress shirts required. The staff provided suit coats from a collection but we would have dressed differently if we had known. The three men in the party were wearing golf shirts.

Justin is a great talent and a big part of the consistent high performance of the restaurant.

Wonderful visiting French chef this summer. The nicest restaurant we have visited on the island.

The Terrace is a wonderful restaurant. The cuisine, atmosphere and service are consistently outstanding. It's a spectacular special occasion restaurant.
The chef supports local sourcing so the food is really fresh. I had the swordfish and my husband had the chicken and both were delicious.
I would highly recommend the Terrace.

Surprising disappointment. Relais & Chateux thus expected all to be high end but instead found a very pretentious restaurant with mediocre food and extremely weak wine list (nothing older than 2012?). The tip off should have been there was advertising on the menu; great to see the local fisheries, bakeries and farms, but... BMW? Vive Clicquot? outdoor garden lovely looking until the 8:15 sunset and the mosquitos arrived. Most disappointing part was being told the chef's special was fresh tuna from... wait for it...Hawaii. ?!? yes it was flown in overnight so probably was fresh, but MVY has some of the best fresh tuna and swordfish in the world. Don't waste your time with so many other far better food and atmosphere restaurants on the island (from casual Port Hunter, to fancy LeToile, to perfect up-Island State Road)

My husband and I recently celebrated our 35 Wedding Anniversary at The Terrace at The Charlotte Inn. It is a high quality, old school service where they call you by name. Highly personalized service like dining at our country club. Delicious meal and such a romantic atmosphere with antiques and beautiful oil paintings all around the resturant and Inn! Delightful!

The food and service was absolutely fabulous!! Don't even think twice about dining here - if you are vacation at Martha's Vineyard - this will be a memorable experience!

The Terrace Restaurant is a magical place. The menu, wine list, service and elegant dining room are outstanding. Chef Justin Melnick has made The Terrace the one place on Martha's Vineyard that is a must visit for dinner. The staff is outstanding and well versed on the menu and wine list. James who is one of the servers is outstanding. My wife and I travel a lot and dine at many top restaurants. The Terrace is at the top of our list!

Anniversary

Incredible food, service, and atmosphere. Truly a one of a kind experience.

Overall, food was tasty and delicately prepared; service was okay- drinks never got empty and timing was good, but all servers were rude and couldn't have cared less about socializing (literally didn't communicate at all) despite ordering expensive wine & dinner w/ appetizers; ambiance is quiet. For Martha's Vineyard, this place is unique, but not worth their stuffy attitudes and expensive pricing.

We were late because of traffic to the island....no frowns from the staff.
Our Italian waitress was a gem.
Food and wines excellent.
Will be back.

Finest ambiance on the Island--perhaps on all the U.S. East Coast. Extraordinary service.

We returned for our third year and the Terrace continues to be superb n every way. The inn is among the greatest dining spaces in beauty and enchantment. The staff knowledgeable about the food helped nearby table person extreme food sensitivities.
Generous portions of perfectly prepared food. We loved the wild salmon tartar with mango and the bolognese. The chefs sample of beet soup to start is great and I dont like beet soup. The onion soup is rich and not salty. The pasta dish with schrimp and special mushrooms was special.
We go hete every time we are in Edgartown.

I don't say this lightly.....this was one of the best dinners that my wife and I have EVER had. Food was fantastic, service excellent, ambiance great.

The food and service were top notch

This restaurant WANTS TO BE and LOOKS like a great restaurant - but it is NOT. The food is well below par - with overcooked meats, under-cooked pasta and poorly matched combinations. The wine list is severely limited. I found the service to be a bit cloying in it's desire to be good service without a strong idea of what that actually means. It's a shame. The beautiful Charlotte Inn and the amazing room deserve far better.

I am always reluctant to give the coveted 5 star rating but this place is most deserving . Our waiter James was a true professional who guided us both through the menu & wine list. The food was beautifully prepared & presented. A memorable dining experience.

We dined at The Terrace to celebrate our anniversary and it was the perfect choice! It was elegant with superb service and an awesome menu.

The Terrace was actually closed so we were seated in a cozy and rather intimate dining room with a fireplace. It was warm and cozy on a chilly winter night. Perfect. Our waiter was outstanding. The Prix Fixe menu was fantastic.

Excellent experience at the Green Room - private dining in a beautiful setting. Full menu not available off season, but the food was very good. Thank you to the owners for making a special occasion memorable.

A quiet Victorian decorated dining room filled with antiques set in a garden.

Delicious food

The setting was cosy and elegant for Christmas Eve. The service was very good and chestnut soup was delicious. The rest of the food was very mediocre. Ended up as a very expensive night with disappointing food.

Schade! Wir hatten es zwei Monate im Voraus reserviert. Wir hatten das Weihnachtsmenue, jeweils 1x Fisch und 1x Fleisch. Die Tagessuppe vorab kam fast kalt auf den Tisch, trotz Reklamation war die erneute auch nur lauwarm. Die beiden Vorspeisen waren ok, bleiben aber deutlich bezüglich der Aromen und Anrichtung hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Der Hauptgang, ob Fisch oder Fleisch war auch ok aber nicht herausragend. Da ist noch viel Luft nach oben. Ob beim Geschmack oder beim Anrichten da geht noch deutlich mehr.... Schade, man kann nicht sagen dass es schlecht war, aber es bleibt nichts als wow in Erinnerung. Beide Desserts waren leider ein Totalausfall. Vor allem nicht bei der Kategorie des Hauses. Da fehlte jede Leichtigkeit..

Schade wir hatten deutlich mehr erwartet bei den vorliegenden Bewertungen und auch weil der Chef einige Zeit in Italien verbracht hatte... davon kann man zumindest die mediterrane Leichtigkeit mitnehmen....

This is a wonderful restaurant in an historic inn/home. Because it was off season, we were the only diners. The service was excellent, and we had the opportunity to tour the kitchen and wine cellar. I would highly recommend this venue for a quiet dinner on a special occassion.

Excellent, highly recommend

Perfection. Since I need to write 50 characters , I could just keep writing perfect! Food, service, ambiance...perfect.

When dining outside the NYC area, I try not to use my city food and hospitality profession to compare to elsewhere. But tonite, I could not help. Dining at the Terrace was unfortunate. After being seated by the pleasant hostess and getting serve our drink and sparkling water, everything went downhill. The ambiance was tropical and pleasantly quiet. It was 40% full and serve by Jeremy and James. After our drinks I observe a 25+ minute period of back and forth from kitchen to guest by the servers and a chef or cook for serve out. After this time we were giving our menus. 25+MINUTES! Adding to this it took awhile to take our order. The bread was serve with stone cold butter. I don't know anyone who enjoys cutting thru hard butter and trying to spread it on their bread. Our appetizer came timely but our entree took awhile. As we waited, we ask Jeremy for more bread and he forgot about it and we had to ask James. Around this time, our sparkling water glass sat empty. When James finally refill it, he pour pitcher water and realize immediately and apologize for his mistake, which was proper. As Jeremy serve my pasta entree, he did not offer fresh grated cheese as I notice him offer other tables. Trying too get his attention for cheese was a chore. When he finally came back he place a small bowl in front of me, not the freshly grated I expected. As the saying goes, "It's the little this that count." The whole experience was not the case at all. It just left a bad taste as we wonder when we will get the menu. The only good experience is they put a birthday candle on the dessert as I requested by email. All in all, the expectation was unexpectedly poor. For fine dining, you assume a higher standard and this was not met especially for how much you are spending. If you make a reservation and get seated there is no excuse for what happen that night.

Food was amazing. Some of the best I have ever eaten.

Excellent service considering the restaurant appeared to be short-staffed. Unfortunately, the filet mignon was not cooked medium well as requested. Even after being sent back, it still was not properly cooked (came out rare both times). Jeremy was a very engaging server.

This was our fourth time at this restaurant, including romantic gourmet dinners, and holiday brunches. It is definitely the most enjoyable fine restaurant on Martha's Vineyard. The food is always top notch (not for gluttons but for foodies). The pleasant professional service and lovely ambiance do the rest. Needless to say that this was not to be our last visit, but we are planning already to introduce more of our family to this wonderful restaurant.

A lovely romantic dinner. Beautiful, elegant traditional decor and ambiance, but in a cozy setting. Dinner was delicious and fresh, waiter was outstanding.

Very beautiful and romantic. It was our 25th anniversary. Beautiful antiques, plates, ambiance all top notch. Food was pricey but not as good as other MV top restaurants. Wine list was very good. I'm very glad we went and great place for a special occasion.

Overall a very nice experience. Terrific venue, excellent service. Food was a mixed result as we both thought our starter (onion soup) was average and my wife found her main course (risotto) to be unexciting/bland. My main course (steak with au gratin potato) was excellent. We do recommend and will return the next time we are on island.

My husband and I were both celebrating our birthdays. It was a perfect spot. From the greeting at the door to final goodnight, the staff was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I especially appreciated that each course was just the right amount of food. Although one of the most expensive dinners we've ever had, it was well worth it.

We quietly celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. The room was lovely, staff attentive and food delicious. So many choices will definitely return to try other offerings, but will probably repeat the olive oil orange cake. Would love to find that recipe!
