| - Terra is one of the fanciest restaurants in the Richmond Hill area. By fancy, I'm referring to the food quality/price and the atmosphere/ambiance of the restaurant. Outside the restaurant you'll feel like you're in any other strip mall.
We came here for a weekday lunch to celebrate my birthday. The place was pretty much empty as you'd expect for a high-end restaurant on a weekday in the middle of the day. There were a few tables with guests, but mainly business people.
We started off with some appetizers. She had the seared Ahi tuna that looked really good (I'm not a fan of Ahi tuna, but it looked amazing) and I had the soup with Italian sausage, which tasted great. The bread and butter were also very good. For our mains, she had the filet mignon and I had the halibut. The Angus beef filet was high quality beef and cooked well. We asked for medium, but it came a little more cooked than we liked. But nonetheless it tasted great. The halibut was also amazing. It was cooked extremely well. It was juicy and not tough at all. For dessert we had two scoops of chocolate ice cream with fresh fruit. Really good ice cream, really good fruit (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, etc.). The final price was around $150.
Although service was good, it was very slow. We were on a tight schedule since she had to go back to work (I took the day off). It took at least 15 minutes to bring out the dessert.
So if you want to impress, are okay with splurging, and have time on your hands, this is a great place to go.
