The grandest addition to the St. John restaurant scene this winter is the Terrace Restaurant, across the road from the Beach Bar and the Fish Trap. It’s where the Stone Terrace used to be … can’t forget that terrace.
Intial reviews are excellent. While Yelp.com has none, TripAdvisor has nine, and eight rate the restaurant excellent. All of the TripAdvisor reviews are less than six weeks old, so they’re evaluating the place as it is now.
Robin and Chef Erica Miner say they are offering French-inspired fine dining. “With our blend of classic French techniques, high quality ingredients, a professional and knowledgeable service team, and a beautiful waterfront location in the heart of St. John, we know you will enjoy your evening with us.”
Many reviewers are locals. Kcherie88 is one of them. “Great attention to detail– not only in decor, but also in the service, the way the food is plated, even down to how pretty the menus are! Amazingly awesome wine list." Seafood is a specialty. Kcherie88 had Mahi Mahi over a wild rice salad; a friend had prawns “which were also awesome."
Another local, Hungrytraveler0 echoed the positive comments. “We are picky about spending our hard earned money on junk food or pretend gourmet. This restaurant is the real deal, professional waitstaff, great wine list. A wonderful addition to the community.”
It is amazing! I ate there 2 nights ago…raw oyster app, a special bisque, filet mignon and the chocolate terrine dessert. I was lucky enough to get to taste a 100 pt port w/ my dessert. It is just the best spot and the best staff. I couldn’t rave more!
