Only negative for today was the terrible valet service. After waiting 15 minutes we decided to find a garage and park ourselves. Understandably it was a rainy day but cars were lined up down the street waiting to be parked or at least see a valet. Definitely not a good day for the valet attendants. Once inside our experience was amazing as always.

The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!
