Thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant can be a disappointment. I've always made it at home but this time we decided to try Teca for our holiday dinner. We're glad we did. The place was busy when we arrived for our 6:00 reservation for four, looked full. Our server, Thomas, was busy, too, but very personable, pleasant, and attentive. The food was very good, better than expected on a night like this. Bravo Teca, good job.

Thank you so much for your kind words Lynn! Words like yours make it fulfilling to execute busy days like today. I will be thrilled to share your review with Tom. Thank you for trusting us to host your holiday, hope to see you again soon. Best, Steve Stein General Manager

Was there for Thanksgiving and food was good but service was less than desirable. One of the servers spilled some beer in my dinner without even apologizing. Ate it any way. Didn’t even wipe ofc the table. Overall I love teca but not for a holiday. Sorry

Very good food and friendly service. The only issue was that the service took a while get some simple things completed like the check,etc. Moreover, while our food was served promptly, we noticed some of the other larger tables had to wait for their food for a while.

The food and service were amazing. I really like the design, but it is very, very noisy, which made it difficult to have a conversation across the table.

The cost too high for the food quality and the sitting on the deck very poor. For 3 people @ 250.00. There are much better choices in the Media area.
