Atmosphere was terrific and service was great. Our server David was attentive and answered all questions on the menu. We both had the chicken and shared a sweet potato. We left enough room for a churro dessert with ice cream and chocolate ganache. Everything was terrific. This was our first time to this restaurant and resort. Signage is limited, you have to valet or self park and have a golf cart shuttle you to the restaurant, which sits up on a bluff. The restaurant hostess calls the shuttle when you are ready to leave and gets you back down. Beautiful property.

Great meal, wonderful service, attentive staff. We celebrated a birthday with 8 of us. I had requested a quiet area and they delivered! The waitstaff serenaded our birthday guest and provided flan with a candle and a hat! The seafood fajitas were outstanding as were the beef, every dish was presented perfectly. We especially enjoyed the prickly pear margaritas. Sopapillas are not to be missed for dessert. None of us had dined here in the past, but this will be our new tradition! Don't miss the tableside Guacamole, the best I have had yet in New Mexico.

We live in Santa Fe and this was our first visit in a while. Sometimes resorts don’t do much to bring locals back. That was not our experience. Our server was fantastic. Very helpful with the menu and wine. She knew we were locals and did everything to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent. Because of this experience we’re putting Terra on our regular rotation.

The usual New Mexico plates are way beyond what’s available in town at the usual suspects and the prices are surprising reasonable. One of our favorite places!

Had the steak frites with chimichurri- was prepared perfectly, tender and flavorful. Very generous serving of the frites- which is good because it's why we all get the steak frites, after all! Jimmy was playing so a good time was had by all!
