Last night we dined at Terra Terroir, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The food was flavorful, the ambiance was beautiful, and the service was excellent.
We started with the jumbo lump crab cakes, which were a hit—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of fresh crab flavor. The vanilla yams were an interesting twist—while the vanilla was a bit strong, they were still enjoyable. The gambas al ajero (garlic shrimp) were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, definitely one of the standout appetizers. The lamb lollipop chops were well-seasoned and delicious, though on the smaller side in terms of portion.
For the main course, I had the slow-braised pork shank, which was hearty, tender, and full of flavor—a very satisfying dish with generous portions. We also ordered the Kansas City strip, and although I didn’t try it myself, my son’s friend commented on how flavorful and tender it was. The seafood special, featuring Alaskan halibut, was another hit at the table—well-prepared and enjoyed by everyone who tried it.
One note: several of us noticed that our dishes were not served hot, more lukewarm. While it didn’t detract significantly from the overall experience, it’s something worth mentioning.
The restaurant’s interior is beautifully decorated, evoking a European ambiance that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a different part of the world. The service was attentive and warm from start to finish.
Final Verdict: Terra Terroir is definitely a spot worth visiting. If you're in town and looking for a memorable dining experience with great food and charming atmosphere, put this place on your list. Just hope the kitchen turns up the heat on those plates next time!
