The Terrace: User Reviews

A hidden gem!

Went to the terrace at the Conrad after hearing all the hype. Hidden away off Rush and Grand this place is a real treat. Staff were approchable and friendly. I was blown away by the wine list, a mini-masterpiece! 95 Mouton Rothschild and Cheval Blanc. 2003 Romanee was hidden in there as well. The dessert wines were incredible from reciotos to Ausbruch to Chateau d'Y Quem. California well represented with Opus, Quintessa and the other usual suspects.I know my wines and whoever designed this list obviously does as well. Great job! Wines by the glass were fantastic, quality and value for all price ranges. They do movie nights on their terrace on Sundays. Check this place out! A great place to hang out.

The hostess did not know...

The hostess did not know how to manage the available space in order to accomodate the maximum number of customers. The server did not offer to bring us another drink after we finished our first. Do NOT order the trio of "nizzas;" they were smothered with cheese, making the ingredients underneath indecipherable.

Tried to go one night, but very limited seating, no space at the bar, and hostess was disorganized. Customers ended up standing around waiting for a table to open, and then simultaneously pounced onto a spot once it opened. Hardly an enjoyable way to spend an evening. Maybe weekdays are better. It's a beautiful looking patio, for sure, but the management was way too disorganized. Descent food and drinks, but overpriced (as would be expected for the location).
