Madison, WI: One of Madison’s most iconic summer hotspots is now open! The Terrace is now open 3–10 pm daily (weather permitting) by reservation only. Reservations can be made via OpenTable. Reservations cannot be made via phone. The Memorial Union and Union South remain closed.
The Terrace will be more like a traditional restaurant, by reservation only, to ensure everyone is safe and socially-distanced. While you will need to plan ahead and follow some new procedures, the iconic sunburst chairs, beautiful lake views, gorgeous sunsets, and your food favs are still available!
