    Food is amazing. Vibe is chill. Best 90's hip hop music. Wait staff was anttentive and courteous. There is always a wait even with a reservation because no one wants to leave! So just keep in mind - don't go there in a rush!

    Phenomenal place! I’m not a huge steakhouse person (I feel like home cooked is yummiest) but my boyfriend is so I booked this restaurant for our anniversary since I saw the Italian and Asian influence. As soon as we walked in we loved the ambiance, the flowers and trees gave it an intimate romantic feel. The staff was very attentive and polite and knowledgeable. We had John as our waiter and he was quick and seemed like he liked working there. The food was AMAZING! To give background, we love gourmet/specialty food and don’t mind spending for our bellies. We got the caviar and oyster appetizer, the crunchy rice, wagyu, caviar appetizer special, ricotta gnocchi, bone in cowboy ribeye, olive oil cake, fig cake and butterscotch crème brûlée. But before our orders the assorted bread basket was to die for as well and the butter! I have nothing bad to say about any of the dishes! Every ingredient was thoughtfully added and I didn’t feel like anything was fluff. We are for sure coming back and I recommend this place to everyone

    Everything was great, appetizers came out quickly but for whatever reason it seemed meals took longer than usual. I will admit the restaurant was crowded, so that could explain why. Server was very nice (Holly).

    You can always count on a great meal at Eno Terra. I love vegetables and wanted a light dinner. My pasta-less lasagna was absolutely delicious. The gluten-free pumpkin brûlée was a perfect way to wrap up the meal. I’ll keep coming back.
