Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Terra Plata wows with its farm-to-table ethos, offering "great food, great service, great ambiance." The rooftop dining is a highlight, providing a vibrant setting with heaters for cooler nights. Signature dishes like the Brussels sprouts and paella earn rave reviews. Ideal for celebrations, its thoughtful touches make dining memorable.

    Terra Plata has a nice atmosphere and solid menu, but overall, the experience was just okay. The food was good, but nothing stood out as particularly memorable. We started with the olives, which were fine, but they had pits and no designated spot to put them. A small thing, but a strange oversight. The Brussels sprouts had a nice maple twist, though nothing mind-blowing. The fries were okay—crispy but forgettable. At least they appeared to be made fresh at the restaurant. The broccolini had an interesting cilantro dressing, which helped add a bit more flavor. One of the more frustrating parts was the baguette. It didn’t show up until after all the other food, and when it did, it was cold. What restaurant doesn’t warm their bread before serving? It felt like an afterthought. The highlight was the churros—crispy, warm, and satisfying. If anything, I’d return for dessert, but overall, Terra Plata didn’t leave a lasting impression.

    Terra Plata has been a mainstay in my eating out rotation for over a decade and it never disappoints. Got the boys together to celebrate a friend’s birthday this time and we all enjoyed our drinks and devoured every bite of the family-style meal. Standouts? Albacore Crudo, Mushroom Risotto, and the Beef Gnocchi. Oh and the Brussels were also a fan fave.

    We were a little disappointed that several of the heaters on the rooftop terrace were not working , but we were immediately moved to another table inside and had a great meal. In particular the risotto and churro dissert were fantastic. We appreciated the friendly service and relaxed atmosphere and enjoyed a truly great meal together.
