With Latin root “terr”, meaning earth, Terrace 16 celebrates vibrant flavors borne of the land. Chef Dostal believes in allowing ingredients to speak simply and powerfully for themselves. An avid gardener and forager, he has created an impressive terrace garden adjacent to the restaurant that increases in size every year. With dozens of vegetable and herb varieties grown onsite, the garden’s bounty have inspired his new American menu – both at the height of harvest and year-round via preserved specialties and meaningful relationships with like-minded growers nationwide.
