Dinner for four on New Year's Day was superb. The seafood platters, clams with linguine, veal piccata, stuffed mushrooms, wedge salad and dessert were delicious and perfectly presented. Drinks were also excellent, and our waiter was very attentive and entertaining. The restaurant was so cozy on a cold winter evening, and we lingered until we were a bit late for our Longwood Christmas entry reservation! All in all, a perfect evening in Chadds Ford. Would highly recommend this iconic restaurant.

We loved our private tent meal. Atmosphere could not have been better - unique, intimate, beautiful. Will say that there were many menu items that were out and therefore unavailable to us. This happened the last time we came to Terrain as well. Two entrees we had planned to order were sold out. The wine we chose was also unavailable. As was the dessert we had selected. This was disappointing. The food we ended up with was delicious. Hopefully the problems with inventory will be remedied - we will be back to try again.
