NOTE: Food is great - review is based on experience with service and dining at the restaurant itself. Came here on Mother's Day for brunch as a party of four. We made a reservation but when we arrived we were advised that table was not ready yet and that it could be 10-15 min which then turned into roughly 25 min of waiting. This was an early indicator of what was to come. We were sat and put in water orders but then did not see the server for at least 20 min after that so when she returned we made sure to order everything (appetizers, food and cocktails) to hopefully prevent further delays (it did not prevent further delays). A short time later, the thai salad came. Loved the fried wontons on top along with the avocado. Everyone at the table enjoyed the salad. Some additional time passed and the next appetizer came out which was the lamb hummus. The pita was warm and tasty and the hummus and lamb pieces were enjoyable as well. After every dish, the utensils and plates were replaced which was appreciated We made our way through both dishes without the cocktails coming and we flagged the server down who apologized and said they'd come soon (they did not come soon). When they came (probably a half hour later) I advised the server about how poor our experience was and she then discussed with a manager who provided complimentary refreshments as we waited for our main courses. Another 30-45 min passed, if not more, and the main dishes finally came. Every dish was tasty and everyone enjoyed the food but we were so exhausted by the endless waiting for food that it soured the entire experience. I understand that it's a holiday, but it was one of the worst service experiences I've ever had. The food was so tasty that I'd love to go back but I'm terrified to ever go back because of the experience we had.

So, we came here for my sister's birthday and I'm still fixed on that mango carrot purée I ordered it for my child and ended up eating it myself. Everything was perfect here. Shout out to whoever decorated. I felt like I was in the dining area of an upscale home. Intimate space with beautiful lighting. We were a large party and our servers made us feel welcome and tended to our needs. Will definitely return

Saturday night date night ended at Terravita. We had a great time and the food was delicious, extremely flavorful and we had a little bit of everything. We started off with the octopus, grilled shrimp and crab cakes. For our entrees we had the chicken and the short rib gnocchi which was amazing. We will definitely be back.

Parking right across the street and free after a certain time. No outdoor space but the enclosed terrace was perfect for the rainy evening. Food was a really good portion. Drinks were good but could be a tiny tiny bit stronger. Staff was very attentive. Cute place. Someone was celebrating bday, coupe were out to dinner with newborn but I promise you no interruption to our service or how loud it was. Great evening and can't wait to return

Had Easter brunch with daughter and family last Sunday. A group of 6 including 2 grand kids (3 & 2) who enjoyed their pancakes. We had tuna tartar, octopus and thai salad for appetizers and they were all all excellent. For main, had the salmon, crab cake benedict and more. Overall food was great especially the octopus. No complaints on service and atmosphere. Definitely would come back.
Everything from the service, drinks, playlist, and of course the food was top notch. If you are in the area i definitely recommend this restaurant. Everything was my favorite.

Service was amazing! They saw I was cold and offered to put the heaters on! Food even better, I don't think there was one dish we didn't like. Shared a a bunch of apps and some main entrees. Dinner chill low key vibe(soft music background)

An absolutely wonderful experience. It was our 4th visit and you just keep getting better. Thank
True 5 out 5 experience. Came here for brunch. Thai salad was exceptional, unique, light, crispy, and super refreshing. The crab cakes benedict were also delicious. Pancakes were BOMB, the lemon whipped cream on top with glazed bananas were very good. Matching the food was the exceptional service, Manager continously attentive, servers all on point, really made the ambiance great. I had the lychee martini which was perfect. Definitely coming back and looking forward to trying their dinner menu.
I've gone here a couple times since the food is so good but I've noticed nine times out of ten the service isn't quite up to par. Treated my sister out for a nice lil brunch for her birthday and the hostess gave us a weird look and didn't say anything other than reservations? We waited thirty minutes until someone took our order, food took twenty minutes to come out and our waiter never checked back on us again. It was a Sunday so I get that it can get busy but by the time we received our food and drinks most of our section had finished their meals and gone. Otherwise a tad bit loud with the music/guests but great ambience, beautiful presentation, and delicious food. Just seems like the service can have an uppity vibe at times

The place is relaxing and has a very nice atmosphere. However, it’s over priced and overhyped. They served me flank steak and tried to pass it off as skirt steak. I’m an executive chef that trained in Europe and currently work in Manhattan. So I know the difference. The koby burger was bland and didn’t taste fresh, the Thai calamari dish was served as whole breaded and fried tubes? Not appealing and quite tuff. The truffle fries were frozen fries with a very low quality truffle flavor oil as well as the Parmesan that topped them.Now for the positive the chef’s rendition of Brussels Sprouts Salad was refreshing. The sea bass cooked perfectly. However, it is served A La carte. Loved the bread pudding dessert and the creme brûlée.

The restaurant is a great place for ecclectic and tasty dining. The staff has been amazing each time I have gone. The only downside is the street parking which is very limited as it's in a residential location. If you go on the weekend you can park for free across the street in the municipal lot. Other than that it's a really great restaurant.

The food is good, place is pricey but that's normal for a place with good food. but what good is the food if the service is absolutely unacceptable . I placed an order and was told to pick up in an hour, when I arrived I was told that they need another 30-40 minutes. What? No one thought it was a good idea to call a customer and tell them not to drive for pickup 40 minutes early, that's on top of a ridiculously long prep time of 1 hour and 40 min. Their incompetence ruined our dinner.
