The Terrace - Mediterreanean Kitchen — Restaurant in Little Rock

My husband and I went here for a date night a week ago after it being recommended by several of our friends. They were very busy on a Friday night. which was promising to us. The service was good and the waiters were very kind... the drinks we had at the bar were good... however. the food was HORRIBLE and unfortunately the entire reason for this review being what it is. We ordered a goat cheese appetizer that came with crostinis. the crostinis were so stale and hard that it felt like they might break my teeth. The entrees we ordered were worse. The ravioli which was one of their specials was pretty good - but extremely !!! hot like they had stuck it in the microwave to heat it up real fast but left it in too long. not the kind of hot of freshly cooked food on the stove but microwave hot. You know what I mean. And the chicken was not good quality. However, the worst part of the evening was the lamb that my husband ordered. He ordered their lamb chops that were on the specials menu - medium rare. They were RAW. And worse than that - it smelled like it had spoiled. I have had lamb many many times, i have never had lamb that smelled like that. It tasted like a zoo smells. I almost threw up the small bite I took. I was worried we may get food poisoning. We both only had one small bite. and spit it out. Anyways, the server was nice about it and felt very bad. They did take the item off of our bill... But overall, will not be...

Have eaten there several times and really have enjoyed the food. The restaurant is in an office building and while that is not really a problem on it's own the inside is problematic. It is a small restaurant and the tables are extremely close. On top of that be careful where the tables are as many are in poor locations like at the front door where every person entering will be almost on top of you. You could also end up in the back corner where you will just a few feet from an open door looking into the kitchen and a large trash can. That will also include people bumping into your chairs going to the restroom. This so why we have been told people ask for particular table. Lots of white haired customers who obviously know the deal. Service has been really good and sometimes really bad. It is just very inconsistent. Also due to the open kitchen you can count on your clothes smelling like you just spent your time cooking the meal yourself. It's too bad that the food gets overshadowed by a not so great experience which is not what you want when...

My friend and I had an amazing experience here! If you’re looking for an affordable upscale restaurant that makes you feel like family and has a full service bar, this is your place! The service was excellent! The staff is very attentive (but not in an overbearing way), and the owner/manager (not sure which) came and asked us how everything was— such a warm lady! You can tell they really want you to enjoy your time there. The food was delicious. We ordered the fried artichoke with garlic aioli for an appetizer, 10/10! My friend got the raspberry pork medallions special and I got the chicken terrace— so good! Even the carrots were cooked to perfection. I also ordered the spaghetti a la cantalana to-go for my husband and he raved about it! I can’t recommend this place enough. Pro tip: You’ll find the entrance where the umbrellas are! I would also recommend getting a reservation, as this place is pretty busy! Luckily, we arrived right at their opening time and they had a...
