Terrazza is an upscale, classy Spanish/Italian restaurant located in the Hotel Casa Del Mar offering great food and phenomenal service at an elevated price tag.
Our family came on a Saturday evening. We started with the bread platter, which was exceptional, offering soft, salted butter, a molasses-garlic butter, and a light, exceptionally flaky and soft bread ($14) which was the strongest entry of the evening.
We shared next the Whole Lubina for two ($95), a decent Spanish Branzino split into two generous filets, which was light, flaky, appropriately deboned, and with a hint of lemon. We got a side of asparagus which was good, and perfectly roasted. Our children got the kids' bolognese pasta, which was mediocre, chicken fingers which were definitely not home-made and fries, which were excellent. We finished with the Basque cheesecake ($15) which was rich and creamy, but not too heavy, and paired with crisp apples which were a perfect pairing.
Our waiter, Guillermo, was effusive, enthusiastic, attentive, and endlessly charming. He made great suggestions and took great care of us throughout the evening. The prices, while somewhat expected for such an upscale establishment, were on the upper end for the meal provided. Terrazza effuses old money, but somehow avoids being stuffy in the process, thanks to the great, welcoming staff. The ambiance inside, as with the entire Casa Del Mar, is upscale and airy, capturing the vibe of a early 1900s European seaside conservatory, rich with plants, green, and phenomenal views.
Perfect for a date, celebration, or someone to impress, Terrazaa is a good choice for great food, excellent service, and phenomenal views at an upscale price tag.
