Everything was fantastic! From the person who seated us and patiently accommodated our indecision about where to sit to our server and the other staff who assisted, we had a lovely evening. The food was delicious and served fresh and hot, in just the right amount of time after we ordered. Our server, Danielle, was so pleasant and attentive from start to finish. Our second round of drinks took a bit long to arrive but the restaurant was busy at that point. Excellent quality of food and drink and portion sizes too. We also greatly appreciated the intimate atmosphere, and especially no loud music (that has become a problem at many restaurants). This was our first visit and it won't be our last; we're just sorry we waited so long to try The Buttery.

From the food to the service to the location, it was wonderful! My mom from out of state said she’d come back for this, so you have some out of town fans.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Terra. The atmosphere was beautiful, the setting was elegant, and the food was delicious. The service made the evening even more enjoyable. It’s a great place for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back!

I asked for a table that my friend and I could hear each other talk. They kindly seated us in one of the smaller private party rooms. We had the most wonderful lunch and were able to get caught up and hear everything we said to each other. The host was amazing. Our waitress was amazing and the food was really really good. I’ve been here several times and will definitely go back.
