    I took some friend/clients for dinner. The night started with a very warm welcoming from Jimmy up front. He is such a great guy. We then were seated at a great table in dining room. Our server was Bobby. He was outstanding and really enhanced our experience. The food , service and ambience was excellent and will definitely be back soon. Jimmy and Bobby are a huge asset to your company.

    The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!
