Food: Undercooked and underwhelming
The Lamb Shank, the Shrimp Scampi Pasta, and the Salmon Salad, yes they sound great in words, but these top dishes at Terra leave much to be desired. Their underwhelming taste, the questionable freshness of the ingredients, and disappointingly small portions do not justify the high prices. Add to that a very limited menu with few entree choices, and you're in for a gastronomic disappointment.
Bad Taste
Food was underwhelming, differed from menu, overpriced, and undercooked.
Top 3 dishes at Terra
- 1
Lamb Shank with Cauliflower Mash 🏆
Lamb shank is tender and falls off the bone; cauliflower mash is unique.
- 2
Shrimp Scampi Pasta
Most found the shrimp scampi pasta to be perfectly cooked and delicious.
- 3
Salmon Salad
Salmon was fresh and well prepared, making a beautiful presentation.
Vibe: Beautiful oasis in a culinary desert
While the food leaves much to be desired, Terra surprisingly holds its own when it comes to ambiance. The setting is often described as beautifully remodelled, relaxing, and coupled with an enjoyable live music that doesn't hinder conversations. The selection of wines and mixed drinks further add to its redeeming qualities.
Great Drinks
Great wine and mixed drink choices, house cabernet loved.
Okay Ambiance
Most reviews highlight lovely atmosphere, some note lesser food quality.
Perks: Stressful start, abysmal service
Finding parking at Terra is like searching for a needle in a haystack - unnecessarily stressful. And while check-in with reservation may be simple, the abysmal service with reports of rude staff and disorganization does not make for a pleasant experience. The outdoor music is too loud, detracting from the overall enjoyment, leaving one to wonder if it's truly worth it.
Easy To Reserve
Simple check-in with reservation, excellent service, easy phone booking.
Okay For Groups
Restaurant large and open; reviews mixed on group dining experiences.
Bad Service
Service described as abysmal, terrible, with rude staff and disorganization.
