Farm-to-table bistro with skyline views, craft cocktails
"Neighborhood restaurant Terra has been around since 2006, and always puts out exciting plates pulling from around the globe, like Korean short rib wraps or fried kibbeh, but if you’re looking for a Southern spread selection, go for the pimento cheeseburger pizza. Tip: Every Wednesday is Pizza and Pinot Night, where a pie and a bottle cost just $36." - Erin Perkins
"Dive headfirst into local and regional ingredients at Terra. Chef Mike Davis has been churning out hyper-seasonal dishes for almost 20 years, and the creativity keeps on coming. Beyond the seasonal specials, there are a few can’t-miss mainstays on this menu, including the duck confit pizza, lamb mac, and a “Quack” madame." - Helen Harrison
"The bar at Terra shines under the watchful eye of general manager Matt Catchpole, a cocktail pundit in his own right. Regulars fill the bar at the neighborhood bistro in trendy West Columbia for well-executed classics and seasonal sips constructed with housemade cordials and local ingredients. Dinner fish specials are often caught by chef Mike Davis and the lamb mac has never left the menu." - Stephanie Burnette
"Beneath Terra's unassuming striped awning and simple sign is an honest-to-goodness neighborhood bistro that's welcoming from the moment you walk in. Exposed brick, a cozy bar, and an ever-changing menu makes the restaurant comfortable but never stale—and if that's not the recipe for success, we don't know what is. Chef Mike Davis sources great products, follows the seasons, and edits his dishes so there's just enough going on. Therefore, it's often hard to make a decision on what to order—everything looks good. Anything seafood is usually a winner, but if there's triggerfish on the menu, by all means, pull that trigger." - Stephanie Burt
Chef Mike Davis’s bistro bridges Southern ingredients and classic technique—think lamb mac, wood-oven pizzas, and seasonal specials—with skyline views over the river. Consistently recommended by Southern Living and Eater Carolinas.
