    From the maitre d' to the server to the food, all were excellent. A nice menu selection, they easily accommodated a dietary restriction and top notch service all the way.

    We had the most delicious meal at Terra! We went on a Saturday at 11am and had the option of the brunch or the regular menu. We started with the Zucca e Ricotta and the FOCACCIA BARESE - both were perfect. Then we shared the Uova Benedettine and the SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA. Again, both delicious. The carbonara was so good that after the meal, I went into Eataly to buy supplies to try to replicate it at home. Great service, great ambiance, great food. Can't wait to go back and try other things!

    Dinner was great and we made it to our show at the Campbell Theater. Service was excellent, we felt taken cared of. The drinks and food were very good. I'd recommend sharing a baklava if you so choose because it is a big portion.

    We enjoyed a pre-opera dinner on Friday night. It was very quiet which allowed for pleasant conversation. The assortment of bar bites and appetizers was extensive and satisfying. We selected the sliders, potstickers and calamari. They were ample enough to satisfy three diners. We also ordered the rice dish with Chinese sausage which was very tasty. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. We were very pleased and will return.
