    Just had a lovely date night here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The filet mignon we ordered was tender and delicious, but the sides (whipped potatoes & brussels sprouts with truffle aioli), appetizers (raw tuna with kettle chips, clam chowder with bacon) and dessert (chocolate cake with ice cream & fresh whipped cream) were every bit as delicious. I loved the fact that the chocolate cake was both moist and chocolatey (usually only flourless chocolate cakes have enough chocolate flavor). The service was very gracious and friendly. I also appreciated that the restaurant wasn’t too loud, and we could enjoy a conversation without shouting at each other, unlike a lot of other restaurants with fantastic food that try too hard to be hip. A wonderful meal and night out!

    The lunch combo meals were a great deal — lots of food. Waiter was super attentive and friendly. I go to Legal C at least 6-8 times a year. This was the best experience yet.

    This was our first time dining at Terra where he had been meaning to go for a long time but just kept puuting off. I can safely tell you that we will definitely not be putting off out going back. THe experience was totally beyond our many forrays to Eataly that we always enjoy. The decor is rustic, tasteful, relaxing, and comforting Service was above and beyond. Cocktails were innovative and delicious. The star attaction, of course, was the cuisine that proved to be far above our expectations. Anything open fire grilled from the large open pit is not to be missed - flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The dishes all with freshly made pasta were like bites of heaven with velvety and luscious sauces. The surprise of the evening was definitely the Tiramisu that was unlike any that we had every eaten anywhere and with plenty of delicious masacarpone. Cappucinos were also excellent. We did not want to leave but had a concert to go to, but we will definitely be back very soon.
