Arancini: very good. Terrace salad: exceptional. Both pasta dishes (rigatoni and the special (a spaghetti with lemon/white wine/butter sauce, crispy prosciutto, and broccolini)) were great. Very good service and the setting was beautiful. Overall a great experience and the best restaurant I've been to in the area. read more

Dinner out with a bachelorette group. We shared the focaccia and the Arancini and they didn't disappoint. I had the Pappardelle with the Bolognese sauce and it was delicious. Someone else had the ravioli and they were delicious as well. They had a special that night of a seared Branzino fish with an Olive topping with fresh asparagus that was phenomenal. The table also shared the cheesecake and the tiramisu for dessert. Drink of the night and not to be missed was an Espresso martini!! 10/10 highly recommended read more

Great kind of bistro/ formal dining vibe. Kind of like a grotto looking out on the new buffalo harbor. The pasta was perfectly done; though my seafood pasta special didn't have the variety of seafood I was expecting and did not excite me. My friend had a pork dish that she said was outstanding. However,the desserts were a thing of great beauty and inspiring. I had a strawberry sorbet with some lemon flavor that was great. The chocolate cake was like a mix between a regular cake and a flourless chocolate cake. It was, as a client of mine once described a 67 Camaro; "superb, awesome and pretty nice!" I'll be back for the desserts and the cool vibe! read more

Trendy for trendy sake. Not a large menu but covers the bases; fish, chicken, beef, pork, Italian. I was with a group so 3 of the appetizers which the best was the shrimp with nuts. The others were typical Italian. I ordered the beef tenderloin with rosemary potatoes. It was some of the best I and a couple others ever had but later that night it really disagreed with me. Location in the basement means it is one of those dark classic places that the rat pack would hang out. Service was what was expected. It is a little pricey to me but others from Chicago might not think so. read more

Excellent service and (potentially) the best restaurant in the area. The ambiance is certainly influenced by who wants the fire turned off because they get too hot, but it is a beautiful place. The food is lovely and very reasonably priced for the quality. The drinks are complex and fantastic. The wine selection is well balanced, even for by-the-glass options. A great pick for a special occasion. read more

We stayed in the hotel and booked a spot in the dining room to celebrate my birthday for dinner. The restaurant books up fast so highly recommend planning ahead and making reservations early! We started with the pesce marinata. It was a very fresh mix of seafood. The calabrian chili oil has a kick to it and it was a bit too spicy for me. We ended up order focaccia as well to soak up some of the extra sauce. Next, we shared the pappardelle pasta which they conveniently split into two portions. The pasta was fresh, flavorful, and pretty filling! For the grand finale we went big and split the bistecca. The chef himself brought it to the table which made it feel extra special. The meat was cut off the bone into slices which made it super convenient. We ordered it medium rare but there were some pretty large rare sections (not complaining though because it was delicious). The mashed potatoes were also super smooth and full of flavor. We finished things off with the gianduja torte. I was a bit bummed since I saw on other Yelp reviews that they provided complimentary bread and a birthday dessert which was not true. Our waiter also didn't seem to know the specials or menu all too well to provide recommendations. That aside, the vibe and food were excellent! read more

Seated on the patio with a beautiful evening would probably have been enough but the food here is exceptional. We started with grilled calamari and meatballs both excellent. We also had rigatoni with sausage and peas and fettuccine with duck both excellent. Our service was great also excellent drinks and dessert. Would recommend to anyone visiting New Buffalo read more

I love the atmosphere of the hotel and the restaurant. They have some really nice fireplaces. I stopped in for dessert and drinks. Friendly staff I loved the tiramisu and the Carosella drink. The Aperol Spritz was a little more bitter than it should be but it was ok. The hazlenut tart was ok. The chocolate cake is just not good. Dry and bland, not sure how that made it on the menu in a place like this. I got a Terrace salad to go. The pictures may not be great because it was pretty dark inside. Overall, I liked it well enough and would try some other things here. I have also been to their other restaurant, Bentwood Tavern. Both nice restaurants in very nice hotels. read more

The Terrace Room consistently has great food, knowledgeable servers and inventive cocktails. They recently added a few new menu items which was a great idea for those who go often and want to keep the staples but try something new. The cozy fireplace and marina views are perfect for date night, or dinner with friends. Going solo? They have a great wrap around bar with dinner service available on a first come first served basis. read more

We stay at the Harbor Grand regularly but usually stick to more casual food when we're in New Buffalo... but we had a great experience here this last trip and will definitely add Terrace Room to our permanent rotation. Beautiful atmosphere no matter where you sit in the restaurant. My personal favorites were the Terrace salad, zucchini side and tiramisu. read more

The location is fantastic and the interior is gorgeous, with spotless bathrooms featuring private stalls and individual sinks. Our server was outstanding friendly, honest about the menu, and happy to answer all our questions. Even though he doesn't drink, he still offered great beverage recommendations. The food was excellent. Our 2.5- and 10-year-old both had plenty of tasty options and were very happy. I had the roasted chicken, which was absolutely delicious, while my wife ordered the rigatoni and loved every bite. When the kids started to get restless, we skipped dessert, but our server surprised us with some cookie balls to take home a classy touch. If the weather's nice, definitely grab a seat on the patio for beautiful views and comfy seating. Overall, this was our favorite spot during our first visit to New Buffalo. read more

Setting is fantastic. Food flavoring was on point! For an app we had Gamberi and it was just perfect (is licking bowl ok?). Salads were great and Cesar with anchovies was great. Hazelnut salad was also yummy. My wife asked them to surprise her and she got the Ravioli and barely shared it. Yes, the Tarimsu is as good as everyone says. I had the steak, perfectly cooked only thing I would have preferred mashed potatoes not the way they were served. Service was good and our waitress was filling in from the sister restaurant (Terrace is so much better!). We will be back! read more

If I could give it 10 stars I would. Service stellar, food was a culinary experience! Sea bass was melting with flavor. Ravioli was plated in a cream sauce that was beyond anything we have tried before. With my sea bass I paired an Italian wine , it was a sangria cocktail and it was as smooth as butter. Don't skip dessert, the tiramisu is better than the one we had in Italy! Thank you to the chef and the team read more

We thoroughly enjoyed another wonderful dining experience at the Terrace Room last evening. We were seated at our requested corner table in the bar area adjacent to the windows overseeing the patio and marina. We started with the House Salad which was elevated by the hazelnuts and fresh orange wedges -- highly recommend. We also opted for the Scampi Al Forno starter, jumbo shrimp baked in pinot grigio, with basil, bread crumbs and pine nuts. The broth it is served in is perfect for dipping the complimentary bread in -- a delicious way to fully enjoy the flavor profile. As with prior visits, my husband ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs, which is the most magically delicious entrée of its nature to be found anywhere. We also ordered one for carryout -- that's just how delicious it is!! I went with the featured Pasta of the Week which was a moderate-sized portion of housemade spaghetti tossed with lemon ricotta/crema and crushed pistachios -- loved it! I can also recommend The Missing Monarch cocktail comprised of vodka, italicus, house spiced cranberry syrup, and blood orange -- it was so good I had two! read more

Absolutely outstanding experience, both for the food and the staff going above and beyond throughout the evening. I was visiting a childhood friend and we decided to take a road trip to Michigan for the day. After a day of outdoor exploring and enjoying the marina area, we looked for restaurants in the area for dinner. Terrace Room caught our eye and we placed a reservation through the online system. I loved that you could request outdoor seating through the portal, although they do note that this seating is not guaranteed. We were seated at 5:00 and enjoyed a lovely dinner by the boat dock. Our waiter was excellent and checked on us as we enjoyed our drinks and food. I had the risotto for dinner and it was fantastic. I also had the refreshing limoncello cocktail, which was very well balanced. (I am bummed I can't visit here regularly because the food was top notch.) After the check arrived with some adorable sprinkle cookies, I suddenly got very hot and nauseated. Concerned that I might be having some issues with the heat, as we had been in the 80+ degree weather for about seven hours at this point, I decided to head inside. As soon as I crossed through the door, my body decided to give up on me and I dropped to the ground with heat exhaustion. The staff was amazing. They immediately came to my aid, as I had to lie down to regain my bearings and cool down. I want to give special thanks to Bella. She told me she's training to be a nurse and she was amazing. I was pretty much freaking out and very embarrassed about the situation, but she helped me to calm me down, put cold towels on my head, and made sure I could sit up safely once I felt better. My deepest thanks to all the staff members who helped me! I'm definitely going to make it a priority to return here next time I'm in the area. (I'll be more careful about my heat exposure and hydration before dinner next time!) read more

This is an excellent restaurant. While its not stuffy, it is upscale and typically people dress nicely when they are going here. This is our go to if we are celebrating a special occasion. The food is mostly homemade and all very good quality, and while the menu isn't huge, there's a little bit of everything for everyone (chicken, steak, fish and seafood, fresh pastas, salads, etc.). They have several different seating areas which provides good variety, notably a nice outdoor patio right on the water which is especially nice on a good weather day. You can tell that the staff are highly trained and they provide really good service. read more

Spent two nights at this hotel, and ate here the first night. Setting is gorgeous. Bread is fresh and soft. I had the trout and brussel sprouts.

Portions are huge my wife ordered the chicken, we easily could have split it. read more

The terrace room was recommended by several people and it's clear to see why. We sat out on the harbor but first walked through the very gorgeous restaurant. Sat with the beautiful view of the harbor. Our server was kind and helpful and made good recommendations. And I love a restaurant that start with soft bread. This one included olive oil and fresh Parmesan. We started with the shrimp scampi which was absolutely delicious and very garlicky. Then my husband had the pasta with vodka cream sauce. It was kind of a sweet basil with fennel sausage. He loved it and ate every bite. I had the Caesar which was fine. And the bolognese which was everything I would want a bolognese to be. The sauce was flavorful and meaty and saucy with a wide noodle to stick to. It was delicious. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the chocolate cake. It was fine at best. read more

My friend and I decided to dine at the Terrace Room after a grueling day at work. Needing some tasty comfort food, we ordered the ravioli. With the delicious bread dipped in olive oil and Parmesan cheese, we decided to split the pasta and green beans. The three types of sauce on the homemade ravioli complimented the pasta, really elevating the flavor. Green beans were scrumptious being a little charred. We were pretty full but decided to share a dessert so lapped up the vanilla ice cream with espresso. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is upscale but inviting. A nice find in touristy town. read more

Very nice atmosphere and I can tell the waiters and waitresses were very well trained. My waiter knew the menu very well. I enjoyed the music and fire place. I did not enjoy my food as much. I had gotten the beat w/ goat cheese and butternut squash w/ bacon bruschetta. Barely to none goat cheese and not even a quarter piece of a bacon strip. NOT COOL. Defeats the whole concept of bruschetta. I got the 1/2 a chicken entree and half the plate was potato's and I did not like the crispness of the chicken. It was like a soggy deep fry. I do not need to come back again. read more

The Terrace Room came highly recommended as a great restaurant in New Buffalo. We loved the overall decor and layout of the space. We ended up ordering the bruschetta and splitting a pasta dish. To be honest, we were not thrilled with our entree. The pasta was cold and lacked flavor. Pasta should be easy to get right in my opinion. The best thing on the menu was the tiramisu. The craft cocktails were good, but I would not make a special trip back here. There are too many awesome places to explore to have a mediocre experience read more

Had the opportunity to dine at the Terrace Room twice in the past few weeks. I really, really enjoyed. Service was excellent, as was our meal. Among the things we enjoyed were appetizers -Shrimp scampi, octopus and salads. All were excellent. Tried the appetizer special of fried squash blossoms, which were a little disappointing - although if they had called them "Tempura Squash Blossoms", our expectation and reaction may have been different. We enjoyed entrees of ravioli and rigatoni with italian sausage. Both were great. The highlight of both meals, however, was the Manhattan cocktail. Absolutely the best I've ever had (and I've had a lot!), made with Chazalette vermouth which seems impossible to obtain elsewhere. Great atmosphere - we sat in the dining room the first visit, and the 'Gallery' on the second. Both were great, but a bit loud. Service was excellent on both evenings. So much to enjoy! read more
