Walking into Terrace Cafe, you automatically get a cute bistro feel in the Ballantyne shopping center. It's right next to a movie theater so it's perfect if you want to grab brunch and day movie with some friends. The parking was a little annoying but worth it once you sit on the terrace on a nice day.
I got the chicken and waffles - which was surprisingly comparable to one's I've tried at other restaurants. The chicken was very tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. The waffle wasn't that sweet but it was the perfect addition to the savory chicken.
My brunch partner had the strawberry pancakes. They weren't really worth getting. Literally pancakes made with some strawberries cooked to the bottom and a few fresh ones on top. You couldn't taste the fruit cooked into the pancake itself much and there were only a few fresh berries on top.
It's hard to find places like terrace cafe in this area of South Charlotte, so it's definitely a charm! Great atmosphere, great service, & good food (depending)
