   Wonderful festive experience overall but was told the only table for 5 available for brunch on a Wednesday morning at 10:30 am was in a Woodland Tent ($35 extra charge) - and clearly there was room inside the restaurant during our entire meal. We were the only tent in use and though it was stunningly charming, seemed odd. Also odd was the cheesy reminder considering a relatively empty restaurant at that time, to only take 2 hours for our brunch and birthday celebration. The poor wait staff did a lot of schlepping in the rain and it seemed unnecessary to clearly upsell us on this particular day.

   Thanks for a great time! The burger was great and we loved the chocolate terrarium! Little pricey overall but we knew what we were getting into, so thanks for a great value and sweet experience!

   Shakshuka was delicious. Regular coffee was a little bitter. Service ia little slow but then it was very busy with pre holiday diners, which increased the noise level. Overall the food was great and decor very nice. Will be back for sure.

   I have been to Terrain many times and have always had a great experience. However, this time was not so great. I took my two grown children, their spouses and 3 grandchildren for dinner after a trip to Longwood Gardens. We all ordered drinks which took a little longer than we liked to get to us. Then we ordered several starters to share. The beet and burrata salad was delicious, as was the fried cauliflower and the quinoa fritters. Unfortunately the mussels were fishy tasting. When it came time to order our entrees, they were out of a couple things and that disappointed a few people at the table. So some picked their second choices, and then the waitress came out and told us that were only two short ribs left and we had ordered three. SO... somebody had to change their oder to the tuna which they ended up not liking so the waitress took it away and he ordered a burger. Two minutes later she came back and said they were out of burgers. Ugh!!! The salmon was a little undercooked and the whole meal needed salt. The two burgers we did get "were the worst burgers they had had in a while". On a more positive note, the sauteed shrimp was pretty good. We ended on a good note with a couple desserts that we all loved( budino, chocolate terrarium and ice cream sandwich), with delicious espresso martinis. It was the first time for 3 of our party and they were disappointed because we had really talked it because of the many times we had been there. Maybe it was just a bad night for the kitchen because it was so busy during the holiday season. I am not giving up on them though. We will all try it again soon and hopefully experience what we always have before. I still think it is a local gem.

   Sooo cute and so delicious!! I’ve been to the terrain shop before but this was my first time eating at the cafe! We got there early for our reservation but spent time shopping (with our coupon that they gave us with our reservation!) and right at 2pm our table was ready! Excellent food, and served so beautifully! Definitely worth the trip

    We had a sprinkle for my daughter who is expecting a baby girl in January. We booked an outside tent and we were all extremely impressed and pleased. Our server was extremely accommodating and very pleasant. The food and drinks were very good.
