I left my black leather gloves on a two-two at Terra's patio on 12/25 about 10:00 P.M. I've called and called. I've emailed. I even made faux reservations with the hope that the hostess will read and do something. What's wrong with people in hospitality today? Does the fish stink from the head down in this case?

We had the pre fixe menu on Christmas Day. The food was phenomenal and the space was gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience and would recommend this place for special occasions. The wait for our food was on the longer side, but it was Christmas Day so I presume it was due to being short staffed on a busy dining day.
