    I like this little place. The bread they use for the sandwiches is really good. I got a special A. I do think it would be better to buy the bigger balls of mozzarella though and slice it. The flavor comes out better than in using the ciliegine mozz. Meatballs and marinara sauce were good. Mini cannoli was fine. Really nice owners. I thought about that bread all week and had to return. The chicken parm sandwich is really good. The tiramisu tastes like a nice cream cake but is light on the coffee flavor, fyi. I have also tried the #12 sub, the chicken alfredo, the brownie, the bread, and the salad. Salad is fresh and I love the homemade ranch and balsamic dressings. I came here once not too long ago and have not stopped thinking about it since, so I keep coming back.

    This is house special pizza.

    Had a wonderful dinner at Terrace Room and would absolutely recommend it. The restaurant itself is…read morestunning; beautifully designed with a modern feel, and the harbor views make for an incredible atmosphere. We started with the meatball appetizer, which was outstanding. The meatballs were incredibly light, tender, and flavorful, and the accompanying focaccia was just as impressive. It was fresh, crusty, and perfect for soaking up every bit of sauce. For my entrée, I ordered the rigatoni. The house-made pasta was cooked perfectly, and the slightly spicy tomato sauce had just the right amount of heat. The generous portion of sausage made the dish hearty without being overwhelming, and the portion size was spot on. My wife ordered the ravioli, which was served in a rich and creamy sauce that was absolutely delicious. Like my dish, the fresh, house-made pasta really stood out and elevated the entire meal. Between the beautiful setting, excellent service, and outstanding food, Terrace Room delivered a fantastic dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

I made a 6:30pm reservation and noted the occasion, and the staff sweetly sat us right by the window with a stunning view of Lake Michigan. I started the night with an Aperol Spritz. While their menu doesn't explicitly label items as gluten-free, I had called ahead and knew they could accommodate me. The appetizer options were a bit limited, so we shared the Brussels to start, followed by the corn and tomato risotto for my main, which was delicious. Our server was relatively new but incredibly attentive, even making sure to double-check with the kitchen that everything was safely GF. They offer multiple gluten-free options for mains and desserts, including GF pasta. We shared the ricotta cheesecake, and our server also brought out a complimentary chocolate mousse with orange slices and a birthday candle. Don't let the unlabeled menu scare you off--the staff is wonderful, the food is great, and you can't beat the lakeside view!

It was unclear what they meant but she seemed unwilling to put us on the list when we called at about 5:00. So, we decided to take our chances and stopped by about 6:15 and immediately got seated.....probably helped it was just the 2 of us as they were very busy. Our server, Zoe was very good, well versed on the menu and was attentive but not overly so....excellent at her job. The highlight however (for me) was watching the entire hard working staff work together. It was like a finely orchestrated ballet. Mostly young people who worked extremely hard and never seemed to miss a beat! The owner or manager stopped by to check on us (seems rare these days) and was very friendly. The food was good, not out of this world good but very satisfying and we were happy.

    Good from far but Far From Good!…read more We had high expectations yet reservations. Good Italian food in SW Michigan? What are the odds? The reviews were mixed but they had been around since 1939 so they must be doing something right. We decided to give it a try on a Saturday night towards the end of summer. As instructed on their website, we called ahead and the hostess said it would be 30 - 45 minutes from when we called at 6:30. We arrived a little before 7:00 to a crowded parking lot (valet only) and people waiting. It looked like what you would expect from an old school Italian restaurant - lots of lions and other statues, a cool outdoor dining area with a screened in area, a wood burning pizza oven, a lively bar and multiple rooms for dining. So far so good. We get to the hostess and she says that they recently got busy (hard to believe) and that it would be 30 or so minutes or 7:30 ish until our table. We grab a drink, listen to the entertainment in the bar and people watch. Around 7:30 we check in and are told it would be a few minutes. We should have left at that point. A few minutes turned into another 30 minutes and we finally sat down at 8:00. Ordered promptly with a frazzled waitress - gluten free pizza (they have a pizza oven in the middle of the room where we were dining), a chicken dish and gluten free pasta. Everything came with soup or salad as well - our waitress said that the minestrone tastes good with cheese and pepper (it was more like a pasta e fagioli in consistency). The pizza comes out and it was clearly undercooked and as we couldn't find out waitress and were hungry, we choked down a few of the pieces (and tasted the undercooked pizza it well into the night). The soup arrived and as accurately described was tasteless and more like porridge but the cheese and pepper helped. Main dishes - chicken that gave airline chicken a run for it's money, with some pasta in an Alfredo or some kind of white sauce and a half an ear of corn (the best thing on the plate). The GF pasta was way overcooked at it was evident after one bite. When I mentioned it to the waitress, she said that we would take it off the bill and asked if I wanted something else. As it was 9:30 and we had a 2 hour ride in front of us, I just said to take if off the bill and to get us our check. The check comes and only 25% of the cost of the pasta is taken off the bill (how does 2 bites of inedible pasta equal 25% off and not 100% off?). I ask the waitress and she said that she spoke to the owner and she said to only take 25% off of the bill. By this point, my wife has called and texted twice as the valet has the car and people are waiting for their cars. I pay the bill and leave, never to return. On the positive side, at least the guy with the oxygen tank got seated before us. Then again, he was waiting when we got there before 7:00... Moral of the story, leave the Italian food to people that know how to make it and respect their customers and waitstaff.

Our water was tap with no ice and didn't taste very good. I ordered a lemonade which was okay, but it had a paper straw with a weird texture that took away from the quality of the lemonade. I would rather them have used reusable, washable plastic/metal straws instead of the paper straws they used, especially for what is supposed to be a high-end restaurant. My fork was also dirty and not washed well enough. That's the bad out of the way, but there was definitely some upside. The food was phenomenal. The Margherita pizza was the best that I'd ever had, and the chicken parmigiana was fantastic. Everything came out fresh and hot. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu, and we had a total of 4 different workers who came up to us for one reason or another. (I didn't ask for any managers or anything don't worry lol) Overall, the food carried the experience for me. It was good enough to go back to, but getting the rickety table, dirty fork, and paper straw was very disappointing for the supposed high-end quality of the restaurant. I don't think I'll go back, hope other customers have a better experience for the price point.
