Server actor quickly to see if she could nab for us a dish that was running low—much appreciated. But also disappeared or walked by w/o looking a couple times we needed something. Food superb; could turn down the music just a tad. Patrons seemed to be straining to hear each other

The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!

Always a great time here. Took my elderly mother and she loved it. Obviously the view is the draw. Great way to spend an afternoon. We had the grilled cheese and tomato bisque comfort food at its finest. Our waiter Kellen was great and recommendations were spot on. Will absolutely be going again before Christmas.
