    EXCEPTIONAL Paella this evening. The fresh mussels, clams, shrimp, chorizo sausage, chicken, veggies, and authentic Spanish crispy rice were the best ever!! Our server and service were perfect also. Terra Plata's attention to allergies and customer satisfaction are always consistent and greatly appreciated. Beautiful setting to enjoy too.

    Great food! We just thought that 2 things were missing to be an authentic Brazilian churrasco: chicken heart and farofa! It would be nice to have dessert options at the buffet as well.

    The swordfish was amazing. Service was excellent. The pinapple upside-down cheesecake was so delicious I was sorry that I was too full to finish it. We ordered the Dungeness crab bisque. Our server warned us that it was rich. No joke. Yummy, but you could eat it with a fork. Could only eat a bit to save room for diner. But the swordfish *chefs kiss*!

    We spent around $50 per person, it was busy because it was Valentines but the service was exception regardless!! Super kind servers and delicious food and drinks! We love coming here for date night, but when we come for birthdays or special events they always make it special. Joci (I hope I’m spelling that right) was our server and was so kind and attentive!
