Where Every Meal Feels Like an Occasion

Tucked within the serene grounds of The Charlotte Inn, The Terrace offers a dining experience that is as elegant and timeless as its setting. Open year-round, the restaurant blends classic cuisine with French technique and international influences—always highlighting the finest locally sourced, seasonal ingredients from Martha’s Vineyard and beyond.

Whether you are a guest of the Inn or a visitor to the island, a meal at The Terrace is an invitation to slow down and savor the moment.

A Culinary Destination

As the only Martha’s Vineyard restaurant affiliated with Relais & Châteaux, The Terrace is proud to uphold the standard of excellence associated with this internationally renowned fellowship of luxury hotels and fine dining establishments.

Every plate he sends out is built to evoke something, turning familiar ingredients into experiences people carry with them.

What our guests say

“An Exceptional, Over-the-Top Experience That Keeps You Coming Back”

Oh the Terrace, what a surreal experience. We have been coming here for years and the food is superb and exceptional, more so than ever. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic date night with a special someone or just with yourself. It’s fancy, over the top, decadent, incredible – but they make you feel also right at home, if home was as fancy as the Terrace. I did a chef’s tasting with a friend and dear lord, it was amazing! A must when in Edgartown, the space is a photographers dream because the light is just beautiful and you can capture all the dishes in such a spectacular way!
