Gorgeous inn with cozy lobby, nice deck seating and beautiful dining room. We had the prix fixe dinner. Due to a large party we're out of filets and scallops. I was really ticked. Thankfully, the situation was recovered. Bread was great. The only thing is they need to use less balsamic for the dipping oil, the her butter was good. They also drenched my husbands caprese salad and my watermelon salad with too much balsamic, they were both still delicious though. I would just order balsamic on the side in future.
I had the walleye and my husband had the ribeye. Bomb just delicious.
Crème brûlée and the fudge sundae were also very good. Highly recommended!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 29, 2021
We had dinner outside on the terrace at this vintage hotel in Bay View. There is a prix fixe menu or you can order ala carte.
Calleigh was our waitress and she was an excellent server.
Every aspect of my dinner was superb. The Terrace Inn salad was very nice, with spring greens, dried cherries, pear slices, toasted pecans, feta cheese, and a light cherry vinaigrette. I chose the Parmesan encrusted planked whitefish with duchess potatoes and a stuffed tomato. It was served hot and was delicious.
We shared the creme brûlée for dessert.
My friends had rave reviews for the shrimp and scallop dish and the walleye with risotto and asparagus. There are some gluten free items on the menu.
Everyone was super friendly. Parking can be tricky as you have to find a space on the street. Make reservations, they are busy!
The Terrace Inn is a step back in time with photos, seating arrangements, and antiquities in the lobby, which you walk through to get to the restaurant.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Debbie..How kind of you to share and help advertise for us! The best kind of marketing is from real people who experienced this place like yourself! I'll let Calleigh know, your server, you enjoyed her service and the kitchen staff (all contribute, the Chef makes it all come out right). Your suggestions on what to keep and what not to as we move into a fall season is helpful also! Thank you and we can't wait for you to come back! Our hours are changing to 4 nights a week, but we are open in fall and winter (and heaters will be on the terrace) if you happen to want to appreciate the winter time in Bay View!

It started with the best service that we have had at a restaurant m in a very long time. The two servers on hand were exceptionally nice.
The Signature Salad was pretty good, would have loved more of those dried cherries. The plank whitefish.... I can't say enough.... It was amazing.
The desert, a apple trifle, just enough of to finish off a very filling dinner. Warm spice cake with bits of apple and caramel sauce. It leaves you wanting MORE!
Great place!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you Christopher. I will share your feedback with the girls and chef Andy and Jacob. And the cherries too

My wife and I found this restaurant on yelp and it was highly rated so we gave it a try. We weren't disappointed. The service was great from the hostess, servers, bus staff, and chef. Everyone took time to add that personal touch--not just going through the motions. The menu is designed to be one price for 3 course meal including dessert. We both ordered the whitefish which was one of their specialties. It was delicious and beautifully presented. My wife said several times how quaint everything was. Special shout out to Henry--he's one personable, hard working young man!

What an amazing and quaint place! We got a Groupon to stay here. We were planning on going out in downtown or the casino but ended up just staying here as we were enjoying ourselves so much.
The chowder, Bloody Marys and whitefish dinner were amazing. The included breakfast was made to order and great.
We had heard that the place was haunted. The chef, Zach, the bartender Chris, the owner Patty and the groundskeeper Bill took us on tours, sat with us and we're awesome. The waitstaff was awesome.
We plan on coming again with extended family in January.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Beautiful setting on the patio among the treetops. Caesar salad was excellent. Good cioppino and Waygu filet. Good service. Breakfast in the AM was very nice with your choice of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and scones, waffles, yogurt and granola

This place is hands down the BEST restaurant in Petoskey! The historic hotel that houses the restaurant is beautiful. Very charming & quaint with indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, Sirloin, Pork Chop and Creme Brûlée. Our server, Caleigh was super sweet. The flavor profiles for all the dishes were delish! Wonderful experience. We will definitely dine here again next time we are in the Petoskey area.

The staff here are SO sweet and helpful. We came here to ski for a few days and read awesome reviews about how safe Terrace Inn felt, both in terms of the inn and restaurant.
INN REVIEW:
They had some of the most affordable prices in the area, so we booked a few nights. The staff are so kind and welcoming. They suggested local activities and restaurants, offered to help with our luggage, and had a big tea/coffee/hot cocoa station set up for guests. Each night when we'd arrive back, they'd ask if we had a fun day which was super kind. There's a plastic layer between you and the staff at the front desk, and masks were required for both staff and guests. Social distancing was enforced too. Our room was super pink and cute, with a huge bed, little fake fireplace, four windows, a little TV, microwave, and sitting area. They had full cable on the TVs which was a fun way to relax at night. The bed would be benefited if there was a four inch pad on top, as the bed was a little hard, but we slept well nonetheless. We didn't hear anyone through the night and were able to sleep in every day! Breakfast is included (scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, fruit, sweet bread) and they offer to put it in a takeout box for you to eat it in your room.
RESTAURANT REVIEW:
We loved our experience! Because they have a huge back deck, this is one of the only restaurants in Petoskey that has in-house dining during COVID. During winter, they've added plastic tarps around the back deck, with little openings for fresh air. While it's still a little chilly (bring a coat/hat!), they also have multiple heat lamps and an open fire to keep you warm enough for comfortable dining. The tables are socially distanced and the staff were masked. We ate here twice in a row and I tried the whitefish and filet. Both were absolutely delicious and I ate every bite. The bread was great, they had a local beer selection, and you can't go wrong in ordering. Enjoy!Helpful 9Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0
