We had a lovely evening of tasty cocktails and delicious food. Service was friendly. Artichoke appetizer was very good. We enjoyed both the Miso Black Cod and Pork Porterhouse. We had not been there in a couple of years and so glad we came back. We’ll definitely return sooner.

we were there for our grandson’s 7th birthday and they sat us in a heated “cabin”. It was the perfect spot for us and two little boys. Our service was outstanding and they brought J a slice of cake with 7 candles. We will be back again!!! thank you Cafe Terracotta🥰
