The Terrace | Charlotte Inn

We were entertaining visitors from NYC and they were intrigued by the charm, the exceptional service, the quiet atmosphere and the fine dining. It is hard to impress our guests but impressed they were. My husband and I also made a decision that The Terrance is the only place we will dine from now on. Please note the word "dine" as opposed to "eat" because it is truly a dining experience.

Fantastic experience w hands on friendly service from staff and management helping share stories about the couple and movie that inspired the inn.

Our experience was beyond amazing. The attention to detail was magnificent in the service, the food and the environment. I am an interior designer, I was in awe of this hotel and restaurant, a true labor of love. Every single detail was amazing, even down to the perfectly executed lacquer paint on the trim of the windows- it was incredible. The antiques were amazing and I felt like I had step into another era altogether but with modern conveniences. I could have stayed in each room looking at every little detail for hours and probably still missed some beautiful little treasures. My husband and I have been talking about our visit to this lovely place for days and I know it will stay with me for years. We can not wait to return

exceptional food, service, drink and the ambience always delivers!! can't recommend enough 🥰

The ambience and the food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Beautiful setting and an great meal.

Enchanting, romantic, memorable. What a beautiful restaurant. Have a drink before dinner in one of the warm and uniquely decorated rooms. Heidi, the hostes, was extra welcoming and acknowledged our anniversary once we arrived. Service was flawless, food was delicious. A little pricey but it came with an unforgettable experience

An outstanding meal, well delivered in a beautiful environment. A bit pricey but worth it.

Thank you so much for making my husbands birthday extraordinarily special. From table selection to surprise dessert — he was simply elated. Much gratitude.

Perfect in every way. Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful service and the food was delicious. We especially loved the burrata, the lamb chops, and the 21 club chicken hash. A nice wine list too. It made a rainy night feel very elegant inside. 

Always exceptional. One of our favorite places to dine when we are in the Vineyard. Elegant and discreet, feels like you have traveled back in time. Food is divine.

What a vibe!
It was one of the best experiences ever and definitely what we needed as someone who is working and living in a busy seasonal place.

The food and drinks were nothing short of exceptional. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and full of flavor, clearly crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. The wine selection and cocktails were equally impressive—thoughtfully curated and expertly mixed.

The atmosphere is intimate and serene, with a timeless, old-world charm that sets it apart from anything else on the island. The décor is exquisite—classic yet cozy, with rich details that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another era. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you slow down and savor the moment. If you have time, you should have a drink in the green room, before or after dinner, just to reflect a little bit.

What really elevates The Terrace, though, is the staff. Warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, they strike the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. From the moment we arrived until the last course was served, we felt truly cared for. We are thankfull for everyone.

This is not just a restaurant—it’s an experience. If you’re on Martha’s Vineyard and looking for something special, The Terrace at the Charlotte Inn is a must. 10/10

Excellent and perfect place. You made us feel like royalty. Your entire staff should be proud. Food was excellent.

The Terrace & their staff was the highlight of our time in Edgartown. We experienced one of the best meals that we have had in a while. The attention to detail and quality of service was second to none. We even came back for a second evening - they remembered us, our lovely conversations from the night before and even our orders (the gnocchi and martinis were so great we repeated the meal two nights in a row). We loved learning about the hotel, its history, and the way in which this is a special passion project for the owner - it truly shows in every detail. We appreciate the neat dress code as well as the reminder when calling to confirm the reservation.

Vince was particularly hospitable. He went above and beyond in helping us feel welcome and even arranged for us to enjoy drinks prior to our reservation in a beautiful corner of the hotel.

Absolutely delightful hotel and restaurant. From the ambience to the service we felt so welcomed and cared for. The prices definitely match the quality and the Dover sole was probably one of the best dishes I have had in my life, and I have been to over 30+ Michelin star restaurants. The staff was so welcoming and helpful without the feeling of pretentiousness. That is a delicate line to walk and they walked it with grace. Will come again!

A True Gem on Martha’s Vineyard – Refined, Relaxed, and Remarkably Delicious**

The Terrace is hands down our favourite spot on the island. It strikes a rare balance: refined without being stuffy, elegant without an ounce of pretension. Think English country club charm meets island calm — it’s beautiful, unique, and instantly welcoming.

The patio is pure magic — a serene escape from the Vineyard buzz, perfect for long dinners and easy conversation. The food? Simply the best we’ve had on MVY. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and presented with care. This isn’t just another “nice meal out” — it’s the kind of dining experience you remember long after the trip is over.

A huge part of what makes The Terrace special is the team. The waitstaff, many of whom come from Europe, are exceptional — smart, attentive, genuinely kind, and effortlessly professional. And then there’s Vincent, the manager, whose European charm and watchful eye elevate the whole experience. He makes you feel like a regular from your very first visit.

Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want an evening that feels like a treat, The Terrace delivers — every time. It’s not just fine dining; it’s dining done right.
