| - Usually when I want to celebrate special occasions but want to stay up in the suburbs without going downtown, I go to Octagon.. But after dining here at Terra Restaurant, I am so impressed and now it becomes the Go to restaurants if one want to celebrate or impress!!
Classy, Chic and Modern decoration.. good for all occasions. Service was excellent! One of the best I have, attentive, helpful and professional.
The main though pricey..but all nicely done.. and so delicious!!!
Baby Arugula Salad ($14.95)
- Our waiter split that in half portion for us to share... (Maybe I want to have the salad all for myself! :P)
- Light vinaigrette dressing with blue cheese and caramelized walnut.. I love walnut!!
Lime Sherbet was served to clear our palate, before our mains:
Grilled Bison Tenderloin (8oz) with Foie Gras ($44.95)
- Waiter suggest how the meat best to be cook to medium rare...which is my preference anyway
- really lean but so tender.. not gamey at all.. and nicely filleted finished off with a balanced gravy
- Foie Gras.. exterior seared and Mmmm good (I ate that whole tiny piece since my DC is not into that!)
Grilled Mixed Seafood ($37.95)
- Waiter suggest the fish to be cooked medium
- Salomon, sawfish, cod, tiger shrimp, big scallop, king crab, squid just to name a few
- All of sampling portion, lightly seasoned!!. and all fresh and tasty.. I would have a hard time if I force to decide if I only allow to order just one!!
Cheese and Cracker served while we decide on dessert :
While reading the dessert menu, I am so impressed with the loose leaf tea selection ($3.95-$14.95) they have.. One of the best I encountered in a sit down restaurant aside from a tea house.. And all of them according to the menu description are whole leafs tea!!
French Press Coffee ($3.95)
- A little weak and watery.. I wondering if they have a stronger brew.. I ended up drinking the coffee black.. though it smell really good
- Terra should have a more extensive coffee menu...
Warm Flourless Chocolate Torte with Ice Cream ($11.95)
- I am glad that I decide to order ONE dessert to share.. it is sizable and I barely able to finish my half portion
- Rich and chocolaty and fluffy and light at the same time! Heavenly Good!!
Terra is not cheap!! I definitely think it is worth the price tag. At least the food is really good, reasonable portion and excellent services... I will be back... especially if there is another group buy deal again!!
Now guys you know where you should take your date.. hint hint! Or you can always come for a night cap and dessert!!
