    our server Kaitlin and the bussing staff made this particular time at the Terrace very special. She knew the menu from the top of her head. She timed everything perfectly. We had a friend with two toddlers and she helped get them coloring books that kept them entertained the entire time. We visit the Terrace at least once a month and its always great but this time, a little more so. Plinio Garcia

    We had a delightful lunch in a beautiful room. The service, food and the front check in desk (thanks Brooke) were all wonderful. The Culver Hotel is a part of history and the decor is great. We will return.

    Very great experience dining here! I usually come here when it’s super packed but luckily the day I went (and the time) it was not packed at all. With it being less busy, the ambiance was nice and quiet. I was able to hear my conversations. The food was amazing!! The Sweet Corn Agnolotti was very good but lacked a sufficient amount for how much the dish is. The Spicy Pomodoro was amazing!! One of my favorites here and for the amount of pasta it has, it is worth your money. I was not expecting to like the Banana Tiramisu but I enjoyed it so much! I wish I got two but I ended up getting so full haha. Overall 9/10 experience!
