The Terrace

It is my great pleasure to write this review. I had the best dining experience at The Terrace and during Restaurant Week which is difficult to do when you don't catch them on the first day. Now where to start. From walking up the steps and the warm greeting and being seated. We were told by the hostess the name of our server and handed our menus. Our server Devon(yeah Devon working at Devon House)came and introduced himself and told us the drink specials available. It was the only place that actually told us what each mix was everybody else just gave us to read. Made a huge difference. As he went to get our cocktails David (who we later found out was the owner) came to take our orders and tell us the soup of the day. Very courteous and a touch of humour, very engaging. Had us laughing and feeling comfortable.

Now food time. The Escargot in Garlic Butter with Puff Pastry Croutons. The perfect way to start the night. Presentation and taste were A+. Yes people snails, it was yummy. I will write more about this in my blog www.jantucaribbeanreview.blogspot.com after restaurant week. We wanted to put a straw in the leftover garlic butter and slurp it up. Now the main course the Stuffed Fillet of Snapper... Just wow that is in the top 10 of meals I have ever had. We spent the entire meal just saying wow. So full but had to keep eating and the creamiest mashed potatoes. The white cream sauce with fresh fillet of snapper not frozen fish. Was melt in your mouth goodness. Then topped off is the Island Key Lime Pie with the Graham Cracker crust. Light and fluffy with a crust that is beyond delicious. I can see myself just coming for a slice of pie and a glass of wine.

It was the perfect meal from start to finish and the staff and service were perfect. David came and spent time telling us about the ingredients and his regular menu and we were in shock to see how reasonably priced they are. We cant wait for Restaurant Week to end so we can try the other things on the menu. They have Oxtail, Stew peas, pasta dishes, a King Crab stuffed that I can't wait to taste, Pork Chops, Grilled Petit Filet Mignons with peppercorn sauce. I am hungry just thinking about it. Only heard disappointment about the Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pita Dipping Chips so I would advise you to skip that. Didn't taste it myself but got 2 not too great reviews on that.

Overall a well rounded Restaurant that opened in May 2011 and fine tuning their menu, which was great to hear. They listen to their customers. And the prices are good Oxtail for $895 I do believe was the price. I want to see what they can do with Oxtail. This is now my new favourite restaurant and we are already planning our next visit. Can't wait.
