“Awesome fun place!! Great food and service.“

“Let’s talk about the best warm lobster 🦞 roll in New England!!!!“

“The pros: decent burger at a decent price. I love the rolls they use. Burgers are what you want to get here, don't get distracted by the chicken wings or seafood0 it's not their Forte. If you want a side, the fries are OK but they are too pricey for me and the portions are small, I enjoy their Mac & cheese with burger in it, it'll make your eyes roll back in your head with each bite! Props on handling the crowds of people and getting the food out relatively fast, it's not easy. I also appreciate their late night hours. The cons: They won't put any burger dressings (lettuce, tomato, mayo, onion, etc.) on the side, so if you order to go, by the time you get home, the bottom half of the bun is a wet, inedible paste. Also, there's nothing to put ketchup in. No soufflé cups, no packets, so if you order fries, you have to squirt ketchup in the container the fries are in and they get - can u guess? Are you sensing a theme here? - yes, they get soggy. Maybe spend less money on the fancy to go bags and get a sleeve of 2 oz souflee cups, or gather nip bottles, anything!“

“I’d like to comment on the impeccable guest service. Linda went out of her way to make sure we were satisfied. It really seemed like a high priority! Hurley (our server) was very attentive and accommodating. We had an overall great experience! The food was out of this world. I had the steak and it was delicious and my partner had the short rib and it was so tender. Amazing meal! Desserts left nothing to be desired. They were just as on point as our meals.“

“Great gluten free pizza and it has a few gluten free sushi options.“

“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“

“Best hanger steak - the sauce was amazing. The green beans were perfectly cooked. Our server was a doll and right on top of things. This is definitely a local favourite for a reason. A slightly "older" vibe off season, felt like mostly retirees,and the place was packed at 5pm when they opened. We had a great dinner and we'll definitely be back.“

“My partner and I keep coming here when vacationing, even though we've never used the airport. The food is great, it's prepared pretty quickly, and the grilled chicken in their salads is impossibly soft and delicious!!

Parking: Free parking for first 3 hours! We've never had issues finding a spot.“

The chocolate chip, peanut butter, and the sugar cookies were delicious, too.The service was quick and efficient. You can place your order ahead of time on the phone and avoid waiting in line.

“AMAZING PEOPLE AN AMAZING FOOD COME CHECK IT OUT YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED !!! 🔪“

“Such a cute place. There were a few vegan baked goods when I went yesterday- carrot cookie, some kind of bar and the linzer cookie which I got. The cookie was soo good. It tasked like maple syrup and oats with raspberry jam. Plus the. Brown rice plate had so many incredible flavors all in one meal. Black beans, brown rice, guac with mango, plantain, and kale. A well rounded meal with carbs, protein, fat, and veg can be hard to find vegan in general.“

“Great views and staff! This is a place you want to drink a beer with friends on the weekend!“

“Cool view of the water and boats! Food was fantastic and service was great! We had a delightful waiter with an awesome Jamaican accent. He was very accommodating to my many food allergies, one being shellfish, as was the chef. We flew all the From Kansas so my husband could experience fresh lobster. He was not disappointed! I had a wonderful piece of salmon with a miso soy sauce. Also, the clam chowder was fabulous!!! Oh and yummy Crème Brûlée!! Kudos to the chef!!“
