The way one is treated from start to finish determines the level of overall satisfaction at some venues. Valet service and a friendly coat check started off the evening in a formal way, and elevated my expectations for the meal.
Excellent service and a pleasant decor adds to ones experience. Terra offered multilevel seating, dark colours, looks like the crowd is mostly loyal clients of 15 years +. This restaurant serves continental food for companions, grown up or business partners, this is fine dining.
As an appetizer I tried the seared ahi tuna. The spicy wasabi sauce cut into the flavours of the tuna however a lovely citric tomato/fruit chutney was paired beside livening the dish without over bearing sweetness. 3 out of 5
My 10oz beef filet cooked to order, medium-medium-well, came hot and tender, with fingerling potatoes and a little jeu. Excellent, 4.5 out of 5
My dessert was decadent and plentiful. 4 out of 5.
I would return if I was in this area, perhaps try the octagon steakhouse as there is more to try than space in my mouth.
