It is closed for good as of 2022. Was a great place but alas, it is gone. Farewell!

Menu has some nice dishes. The ceiling is low in dining room and fake ivy w christmas lights adds an ambience. Pay attention to small details and you might not love it here. The ice tastes like the filter needs changing.

As a very regular customer who tips very well I was shamed by the wait staff bc I misread my reservation time in a text message and arrived at the wrong time. They treated my husband and I like trash, there were empty tables all around us. A very kind server went out of her way to make up for our rude, arrogant waitress They obviously don’t need my business. This is average coastal cuisine, nothing special.

First time eating there while on vacation at Rosemary Beach. Outstanding! Small groups only (max table for 4). Family owned and operated. Owner is out there helping serve and assuring everyone is doing well. Best meal we had all week without question and a really nice experience overall.

Very nice restaurant with good service and excellent food. The food took longer than expected but it is worth the wait. Drinks

We're local and love this little place. Amazing fresh food, great service, makes the best Grey goose martini and always our happy place to go. The Terrace is only open three nights a week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. For selfish reasons, I'd like to not review and keep this restaurant just for us. However, we're all about supporting really good local businesses. Bravo little Terrace!

An excellent dining experience. The food was great and the family atmosphere was superb. We enjoyed the fact that three generations of family made our dinner experience memorable! Thank you!

We have been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years. The food is always good, but this time the service was terrible. We had guests with us and we spent over $400 dollars this night. We were asked to live as the next reservation had arrived. There were empty booths and tables to accommodate them. We were only there two hours. We still had not finished our dessert or our wine. Very bad for business.
Go ahead and save yourself a couple of hours and a headache and avoid this trashy place. It may seem like a hole in the wall on the outside but the rats that are work inside are way worse. Reservations are not recognized, go ahead and make one but still wait ~35 minutes for a table just to be talked down to by the staff. At no point in my life would a recommend any friend or family of mine to visit this restaurant, only my worst enemies deserve this type of treatment. But seriously, absolutely awful service from the staff, truly disappointing because the food is good but not good enough to put up with blatant disrespect and disregard from employees as a PAYING customer to this restaurant. Do better..

I don't usually give 5 star reviews but this place deserves it (no lie)! We were on our way to another restaurant hoping to get in when we passed this gem of a place. After checking out the menu, we went in. WOW...some of the best food we've had in a long time! So much so we didn't take pics but here's a quick rundown. For apps we had seafood bisque, fried grouper fingers, lamb lollipops, and hush puppies - NO COMPLAINTS! Some of the best bisque ever; the grouper fried to perfection, the lamb was perfectly cooked, and the hush puppies had a great flavor. For dinner we had the Sautéed Grecian Grouper and the Fried Trigger Fish. Both were excellent. I'm not sure how the Chef was able to fry the fish so perfectly, but he did! Kudos to the Chef! I have only 2 regrets...1. I was too full for dessert and 2. They only had Tabasco when I asked for hot sauce. A restaurant with such great food should have an authentic, homemade hot sauce or something MUCH BETTER than Tabasco. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back!

If you are looking for a nice fancy dinner where the food quality is even more superior than the price, this is the place to go. It was a beautiful restaurant with a very romantic vibe. The food was absolutely incredible. They start you off with this bread appetizer and you will think it's the best bread you've ever had, but that's just the start of it. The salad was seriously the best all around salad I've ever experienced. I thought at this point it couldn't get any better, then I was served my main course and it was just absolutely incredible. I didn't expect to find such an incredible family owned business, and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fancy dinner with incredible food. Yes it is going to be a bit pricy, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and this is something you don't want to pass up.

First time here with a group of 6. Service was fairly quick except for 2nd round of drinks -we ordered lamb lollipops. Grouper special. Fish picatta and grilled shrimp. Also ordered 3 desserts .. check was very difficult to read and we did NOT know gratuity was included. So we double tipped. Beware if you have a group bc they did not inform us that it was included... Food was good and it was nice to have a reservation

Enjoyed a delicious dinner Saturday night. Lamb Chops were amazing as was the Grouper. A must try appetizer is the Fried Green Tomato's. So yummy!
