Stop looking and just book your reservation. We enjoyed every aspect of our dinner and would recommend this for any occasion. Great for a date night or family dinner. Portions are large so you are going to get a lot for your money and it's high quality to boot.

I left my black leather gloves on a two-two at Terra's patio on 12/25 about 10:00 P.M. I've called and called. I've emailed. I even made faux reservations with the hope that the hostess will read and do something. What's wrong with people in hospitality today? Does the fish stink from the head down in this case?

The food was amazing (scallop hand roll, octopus salad), the service was decent. However, if you are there after 8:30, the music changes from enjoyable Mexican music to hip hop with the dj …not my style and I couldn’t hear myself think.
