Terrace Inn And 1911 - Petoskey

Overall a lovely spot nestled in the Bay View neighborhood. Recent renovations will be great when finished. In to the food. Menu was nice and salad great, soup of the day was excellent- cheese soup with Founder IPA. My wife ordered the almond crusted Walleye and said it was outstanding. Large abundant portions and overall she rated it excellent as well as the curried carrot salad. I had the ribeye. House cut it was a bit thin but ample. I ordered it medium rare and it came cooked to temp but no “crust” so to speak and little to no seasoning so it presented “bland”. It was a house cut steak so maybe 1/2” thick and ample in size- I didn't finish it. Broccoli had an oil after taste I found displeasing. We are on the terrace which was beautiful and serene. Service was good but when the restaurant got busy we lost a little as our waitress did not return to the table to check on us. The wrong check was sent when she did come back and we wanted to order another round of drinks for dessert but our waitress never asked and moved away quickly with the rush. The waffle bowl sundae was excellent but the way. So overall I would give the Resturant a B on food and service and A on ambiance and place. Server was super nice but she just got overwhelmed and that happens sometimes. The 3 course prix fixe menu we choose was nice. If you haven't been try it- you won't be disappointed. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong thing in the steak.

We were celebrating my daughter's birthday. It was very nice that they recognized my daughter's birthday and she received a dessert with a candle. The food was delicious. Our sever was outstanding and the ambiance was incredible. Thank you for wonderful evening.

The positives: Great food. Overall pretty clean. A private beach that is a short walk from the hotel. The negatives: Hotel only has street parking. Standard queen size room is so small you cannot open the bathroom door all the way. Shower curtain was stained and the shower head has buildup all over it. Beds were uncomfortable. Front desk staff was extremely rude and made inappropriate comments to me throughout my stay. Overall: I will not be a return customer and I would not recommend to others.

Like most restaurants these days, it was a long wait for our food once we ordered, as the waitstaff (and maybe the kitchen) were on overload. But it's such a great spot, waiting was not unpleasant!

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with THE TERRACE INN. I tested positive for Covid 4 days before my scheduled stay, and I called to see if I could use the deposit I had paid to reschedule for later in the season. I was hoping for a bit of flexibility given the circumstances. Unfortunately, they refused my request and shockingly suggested that it would be okay for me to still come and stay, even knowing I was positive for Covid at this time. The idea that they would knowingly allow a Covid-positive guest to check in and potentially expose others, especially during shared activities like breakfast, is appalling and shows poor judgment on their part. It raises serious concerns about their commitment to the health and safety of their guests. I certainly would not feel comfortable staying at a place that takes such a lax approach to public health, and I would strongly advise others to think twice before booking..,
