    We were fortunate to have Josee as our server, as she was outstanding! The PEI oysters with watermelon remoulade and a spicy horseradish cocktail sauce was superb. Both the duck confit and whitefish were cooked to perfection. The wine list appears to be one of the best in the area, so there were many selections to choose from! Will return!

    Nice restaurant; food and menu both very good; service was just satisfactory as the server probably had too many active tables.

    1911 restaurant at the Terrace Inn is simply a lovely dining experience overall. They have a new chef and menu this year, with many more and varied choices than in recent years, but fear not - Planked Whitefish is still there and is absolutely the best we’ve had in the area. The porch is a fantastic place to enjoy a meal, while the dining room continues to exude old-world charm. This place is often overlooked, but should definitely be on anyone’s shortlist for a wonderful culinary and cultural experience in the area.
