The Terrace - East Cowes

It’s closed ! It’s not open. It’s not open today. It’s shut. It’s very closed. Very closed but not open and also it’s closed

Well congratulations! It takes an enormous amount of training to produce such terrible service. Weeks of work to perfect that scowl. Months of effort to learn how to slam down a baguette at someone and bonus points for not even bothering with a plate. And well done on offering lukewarm coffee. All in all you made it so very memorable in the worst possible way.

Small cafe only doing take out when I visited, ordering could have been more efficient not menu longish queue when decisions could have been made before getting to counter didn't seem to know what was in the fridge below counter they took out and read each one. Table nicely spaced and arranged in the garden but 1/2 were under deep water could have been reorganised as rain was night before. Baguettes were fresh and filling good with good coffee,

Disappointed not to be able to have a proper meal befitting this great house and also to find only Jacket Potatoes and sandwiches all gone by 1.00 pm

Sat outside as inside was fully booked. Staff seemed overworked as only one member of staff during most of our visit. Order took a long while to arrive (20min) and then drinks forgotten, when they arrived (another 10mins) one drink was missing. Food itself was good but pricy for what it was and service a big let down.
