We had seats at the bar and our bartender Jeremy was extremely attentive, making excellent cocktail and food recommendations! I was excited to try The Red Fox and can happily report that it did not disappoint! I will definitely be back to try other menu items in the future!

The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!
