Delicious food and very cool ambiance. We found that the fish was really the star of the show here, so definitely keep that your focus when dining. My friend and I really enjoyed it for a fun girls night out!

I need to branch out more and experience a different salad (arugula) and pizza (Diamonte) but both are so good that we get the same thing every time - LOL! Always consistent. And always wonderful.

Terra Tempe’s service as usual was extremely good and the staff was very courteous and friendly. I have been there consistently since their doors open, I was disappointed in the Mexican Prawns this years. I frequently order them but this time they dumped so maany hot pepper flakes into the dish that not only I but every one at our table had a hard time eating; way to spicy. Many of the dishes have been high quality and we love them but someone got carried away with the heat. The chicken sandwich was excellent and the chicken and dumplings was poor. This was a new menu just started a couple days prior to our arrival. I know they have the abilities to prepare much better food than we received on this night.
