The food here is outstanding. We went on our trip to Caneel Bay and liked it so much that we went back a second time later in the week. Typically when I return to a restaurant I end up somewhat disappointed the second time. However this time, the food choices were even better than the first trip! Try the Scallop... More

I enjoyed the food, the service, and the view at this restaurant. We stopped by early in the evening and asked the hostess (wonderful person, I believe her name was Amber?) if she could fit us in later in the evening - it was a Saturday night and we hadn't made reservations. She was wonderfully accommodating. Our server was great,... More

Very memorable evening! Had the best seat in the house with great views of Cruz Bay harbor. Food was excellent, and wait staff was very personable and attentive - didn't rush us at all.

This place is amazing. The food is top notch and Jody took very good care of us. The scallops were the best I have ever had. Definitely recommend this place. It is pricey but for a nice date night outing it is well worth it.

We started the evening with some wonderful wine and great conversation with the bartender Drew about life on the island. He helped to set the tone for the rest of what would be a wonderful evening! Then as we took our table we enjoyed an amazing view of the bobbing boats in the harbor and the orange of the setting... More

We read the great reviews, but must disagree. Although our waitress did bring us a free appetizer because she forgot to put in the order, the dinners were just not good. We were not at all concerned about the timing, so we really do give extra points for her service. The steak au poivre had so many peppercorns that it... More

This was our first visit to The Terrace and we were very impressed. The host was genuinely friendly, and our server was exceptional in her knowledge of wines and the menu. We both had grilled mahi-imahi. I am a big mahi fan and this is as good as I have ever had. The bread pudding dessert was also terrific. Highly... More

My husband and I had an exceptional dinner here at the end of our vacation. Our children had already left -thankfully, because prices were a bit steep. But oh....what a remarkable meal it was! My husband had oysters and the steak. I had the lobster/arugula salad and the lamb. The sweet potato and celery root gratin was the most amazing... More

$46 for 2 double lamb chops? They were excellent however but still not worth the price. $16 for Oysters Rockefeller which were small and just fair. 2 of them without much oyster.The frog legs plump with a nice sauce and tuna done perfectly. The bread pudding first rate.Still I think something is missing here that makes me feel its overpriced... More
