The Terrace Mediterranean Kitchen

Terrace is definitely not in a space you’d expect in Little Rock — an office building isn’t the first place you’d look for them, and they’re nigh well invislble there — but the Mediterranean food is very good. I’ve had their chicken marsala (warning to low-​carb types: it comes on a bed of pasta, not mentioned on the menu), and several other dishes; no complaints yet.
One minor thing to keep in mind: they are closed between lunch and dinner.
Very reasonably priced, and highly recommended.

This cute restaurant is in the Meryl Lynch building on the ground level. It is small. Thankfully my husband made reservations earlier that day. It was busy the entire time we were there. The dress is business casual.
They utilize natural and organic products when possible. The food has a tremendous amount of flavor.
The staff and servers were friendly and courteous as well as knowledgable about the items on the menu.
We had warm goat cheese appetizers which were wonderful.
I had rack of lamb with asparagus and salad. My husband had Veal with bacon and gravy with pasta and pesto. Both dishes were great portion sizes. They were the correct temperature, and flavorful.
A nice wine selection that your server will explain for you.
The menu consists of fresh Mediterranean, Greek and Seafood.
It is priced reasonable to a little expensive for this area but worth it.
They also offer a dessert menu and coffee.
This is a very nice sit down restaurant and may not be a good idea for families that have children who like to explore. There were a couple of children that were there Preteen and Teenage.
Fantastic place to go for dinner or a glass of wine at their small bar area. We will definitely go back again.

My boyfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary here last month.
Unfortunately, if we hadn’t had reservations, we would have walked out. The area near the front of the restaurant is cramped, which I didn’t have a problem with, if we had been seated quickly. Instead we waited for 15 – 20 minutes before we finally were seated at our reserved table that had been open all along. There was no hostess per se, and after no one acknowledged us, we finally managed to get a server’s attention who was running food near the bar. She gestured towards what appeared to be the owner and stated she would be with us shortly — keep in mind this is after we had been standing there for a while already. Except it wasn’t shortly. Once we were finally noticed, there were thorough apologies which we appreciated, and we were told by the owner she would be back by with waters. That never happened. She did have time to visit with several older couples that I assume were regulars. Luckily, once our server noticed us, our experience really seemed to turn around. She did a great job, and we enjoyed our food, especially the warm goat cheese appetizer. Despite this, I doubt we will be making another visit. I personally just didn’t feel as if I was as important as other diners in the restaurant and that was very disappointing for me — especially during our anniversary dinner.

Good food, good service — if you didn’t know what you were looking for, you’d never find this place in the Merryl Lynch office building — there are no signs or exterior advertising — but it’s definitely worth finding. The food was delicious; we had the warm goat cheese appetizer (awesome! I don’t always like goat cheese), Athenian salad and rack of lamb with grilled asparagus. Everthing was done perfectly. Our server Justin was truly wonderful, attentive without being obtrusive, friendly and helpful about the menu, and he brought the courses with perfect timing. When we arrived, the hostess said «we’re going to need you to sit at that table back there,» which we thought was an odd statement (what happened to «welcome, let me show you to your table»?) we wondered if we were somehow underdressed for the place, or we arrived without reservations? It’s certainly not fancy inside. It is small and clean, and there were tables open at 6:00 on a Wednesday evening. Anyway, we liked our table by the front door, tucked away a bit, and Justin’s professionalism made up for the awkward feeling we got from the hostess.
I’ve eaten in many Mediterranean restaurants, from large and upscale to small and eclectic, in major cities around the US, and the food at the Terrace compares favourably. There were so many interesting menu offerings, I will definitely be back to try some others

This place is amazing. I work upstairs and eat there about 3 times a week. The chicken cypress is amazing! The staff is Wonderful! Thomas and Melissa treat all their clients like family! The owner is very hands on and makes sure that everything is perfect! The space is really small but the great food makes you forget about it.

Shrimp pirogue was delicious. Hummus was great.
Was late being seated despite reservation. Would have been nice to have been offered a drink while we waited considering the wait. Meal was a little rushed — but delicious :-) Will go back for sure.

I have eaten here previously and enjoyed it. However, the most recent visit was a disaster. I had reserved a table for a small business party. When we arrived they were all booked, with no record of our reservations. I could never trust them again.

I took my kids this time and they both loved it. It’s a very small place and they do take reservations. I got the chicken terrace it’s my favorite. You get 2 big chicken breasts that are crispy and filled with this cream cheese mixture. It’s so wonderful. It comes with pasta and big potions so it’s plenary to take home or split. The desserts are also very good so be sure to save room

Cozy atmosphere. They take reservations! The salmon and the sample platter of their three different crème brûlées is wonderful. Great service. We also like the pork with raspberry and chipotle sauce.

A hidden gem that could really use better signage. I found their offerings creative and flavorful. I’ve forgotten the dish that I had (veal with shrimp & a spicy cream sauce) but it was out of this world good. Pretty rare I give 5 stars but the Terrace is worthy of a 6^th.

Mediterranean style menu, indoor and outdoor seating, intimate atmosphere with a good selection of wine and food. My wife loves the lamb and I agree it is amazing. Price is decent and food is worth the money.

This is mine and my wife’s favorite place to enjoy a great meal with great service. Highly recommended!!! Order Frenchie’s humus.

A local gem! Small, cozy restaurant in a business complex (needs a sign!). My husband had a pork tenderloin special with raspberry-​chipotle sauce that was excellent. My salmon was just OK due to a pasty creamy dill sauce that needed less thickening, amd more dill and lemon. My husband loved his bread pudding dessert. Excellent service and reasonable prices. We would definitely go again.

This place is a great find in an otherwise somewhat dismal Little Rock restaurant scene!
We were a group of 4 and got the restaurant about 20 minutes before our reservation. The pleasant hostess seated us almost immediately. The décor of the place feels very New York-​ey and looks quite nice and upscale.
We ordered the Warm Goat Cheese and the Hummus Trio appetizers which we all thought were excellent. The red pesto that came with the goat cheese was addictive!
For my main course, I ordered the Shrimp Perogue (sp?), which was really good. The eggplant in the dish seemed a bit random — not sure it fit in well with the shrimp and the sauce. Nevertheless, it was very tasty.
My colleagues got an assortment of entre’s. The rack of lamb was the stand-​out from what I heard. My collegue was salivating over his «tender and juicy» dish, which I must admit, did look quite appetizing.
Overall, I think this is an excellent restaurant, and has popped up on our map just when we had eaten practically everything on the Acadia menu.
If you haven’t been here before, you are definitely missing out. Worth visiting, and I will definitely be back!

The Mediterranean Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in Little Rock. Great food! Great wine selection! Great wait staff! Patrons are well dressed and this place has a real upscale feel. Terrace is THE place to go if you want to get dressed up and have a really special and memorable experience. However, getting a table can be difficult! Reservations are always necessary on the weekends.
Overall Impression: Its Good! GO Eat There!!!

Read the reviews and headed to dinner on a Saturday night at 6pm. When we arrived to a restaurant that was a quarter full, the host advised us «sorry we just took our last reservation’. As my wife and I both turned to each and scanned the room with 15 empty tables, we left and were extremely confused about what had just happened.

Service was excellent on a Tuesday night. We had the place to ourselves at
8:45. Outside seating area was nice & the shrubs hid a good bit of the street noise– you wouldn’t think you were next to a bank drive through :-)
A friend was shocked when I told her we had the place to ourselves. She’d recently gone on a weekend night & every seat was taken.
We both enjoyed our entrees. The goat cheese appetizer was nice.

Very nice dinner tonight. Small (50 seats) place hidden in an office building. Stuffed Lamb chops were very good. Watermelon soup was really interesting.

The restaurant has recently been remodeled and is now under new ownership. They also changed the name to The Terrace Mediterranean Kitchen but the food is as good as ever.
They have the best hummus and babaganoush anywhere in Arkansas and you cannot go wrong with many of their lunch specials. I also really enjoy the gyro with feta added.
Highly recommended. Try to get there before 11:45 if going at lunch as the space is small and they are always packed. You can find a table after 12:30 as well.

My husband and I recently visited Terrace on the Green (my first time!) for our anniversary. As mentioned in a previous post, they are definitely not located in a typical high end dining location. If you blink, you would miss them. However, our experience was an excellent one!
First of all, I must admit that our waiter was very professional, friendly, and efficient. He knew the appropriate amount and times to check on us, and always made sure we had everything we needed. Our glasses were never empty.
As for the food, my husband and I started with the hummus appetizer. It was some of the better hummus I have had. Just the right consistency.
For entrees, my husband had a special they were serving. I had some type of chicken dish which was excellent! Wish I could remember the names of the dishes, but I can’t seem to find a menu online to refresh my memory :)
This isn’t an every day sort of restaurant, but is great for special occasions. They have been a staple in Little Rock for many years — and now I know why.
