| - I am glad to finally have tried Terra Verde out. It is a very elegant dining place stacked with wine upon wine upon wine!!! It is dimly lit and has lounge sitting placed around a fire... all for making a comforting and intimate setting.
My friend and I enjoyed the bread basket with a variety of bread (my favorite was the soft one baked with pesto!) and the Parmesan, olive, and artichoke heart platter that is provided.
For an appetizer we split a vinaigrette salad, good flavor and balance.. and I liked how they change it up with the heirloom tomatoes... but possibly a bit too acidic for my mouth because it started to hurt afterwords.. I cant imagine eating the entire salad!
The entree: I went with something "light" so I could avoid the pain from my GERD later on;]... the linguine with clams. I was very, very satisfied with this dish because the pasta is cooked to al dente perfection and it is definitely a hefty portion. The noodles are not drenched in a heavy sauce and it was the perfect balance. When I was "finished," it still looked untouched. My friend stuck with a simple meat sauce pasta, I tried it and it was good, but something I wouldn't get.
Aside from the fact that we were "stuffed" (possibly from our bread basket), we got dessert anyways. Chocolate decadence was what it was called and it was exactly that. When the dessert first came out my thoughts were: "you are really serving us this dinky piece of nothing?!" But oh how I was wrong. Yes, small... but extremely rich.. and chocolaty.. and smooth.. and yummy. It had everything a dessert should have, a little crunch from the chocolate shell, the smooth, mousse like texture, bitterness from the cocoa, fruity syrup to complement the heavy chocolate, and of course.. CHOCOLATE.
So, I wrote a bit much longer on the little dessert that probably requires no effort.. oh well. And while you are reading this you are wondering why 3 stars?? Because the service was lacking.... a lot. We were left alone. Our waiter didn't ask for drinks for about 20 minutes, then after that, we waited another 20 for our appetizer.. then entree.. But along with dessert came our bill.. almost forcing us to leave?? The only reason we were staying there for so long was because you kept us there!! The bus boys were on it the entire night, but the waiter... where were you??? Yes it was Saturday, but not all too crowded.. Will I give it another chance?? Maybe, but not willingly.
