   Thanksgiving dinner was really delicious! The only issue was that our server seemed like she was on her first day on the job...pretty clueless.

   We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner at Tierra Sur. We had reservations for 2:00 p.m. which really turned out perfect since it was before the rush. The Thanksgiving menu was limited but special. After selecting our wine for dinner, Sam, our server, brought out a plate of sliced bread with garlic oil. For the first course, my husband had the pumpkin soup and I had the salad. I selected the cedar plank salmon while my husband elected to go for the traditional turkey roulade. My salmon was cooked to perfection! The sides were served family style and included dressing (stuffing), mashed potatoes, green beans with almonds, and a wild rice in a squash gourd plus turkey gravy and cranberry sauce. Everything was delicious. We both selected the pumpkin pie for dessert. My husband paired his meal with the Herzog Special Reserve Chardonnay (2022) from the Russian River Valley. I enjoy bold reds so I chose the Herzog Special Reserve Quartet (2021).

   I had the pleasure of dining at Tierra Sur, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The entire staff was nothing short of exemplary—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in ensuring each guest had a wonderful time. I began my meal with the Chicken Caesar Croquettes, which were a delightful fusion of creamy Caesar flavor inside a perfectly crisp shell—an absolute treat for the palate. The Lamb Bolognese, served with papardelle pasta: it was rich and flavorful, with tender lamb in a beautifully balanced sauce that paired wonderfully with the light pasta. I also had the Capellini bathed in a rich but light pistachio pesto,. Alongside this, I ordered the Sweet Potato Fries, which were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. For the grand finale, I indulged in the Salmon Tartare, a fresh and vibrant dish with a deliciously light citrusy note that complemented the richness of the salmon. To top off the night, I enjoyed the Caribbean Carrot Cake—a unique twist on a classic dessert that was moist, spiced just right, and absolutely decadent. Overall, Tierra Sur Wine Cellars exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of expertly crafted dishes, an inviting atmosphere, and flawless service made for a dining experience I won't soon forget. I highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a refined yet welcoming culinary adventure.

   Started with wine at the bar and also had a flatbread, all good. The menu is good, but it’s locked in so there are no changes, at least with the wine pairing. We ordered a Delmonico steak MR but it arrived MW and we had to send it back. They were good with that and replaced it with a Ribeye at the same price and it was cooked perfectly.

   It's an expensive restaurant that was quite a drive - the sort of place you go to for special occasions, that you should be willing to shell out lots of money for. The ambience is quiet and elegant. The service is excellent. The wine was amazing. That said - the food was underwhelming. Everything from the duck salad to the chocolate dessert tasted somewhat bland. At one point, I found myself wondering if I had lost my sense of taste and had COVID! The most disappointing part was the $75 dollar steak, which the waiter had specifically highly recommended. It was served room temperature on a bed of COLD vegetables. I ate a $75 steak served cold. For this, they comped by drink, but it didn't make up for the disappointment.

   It's on the high end of price but some innovative food and outstanding service.

    The new PreFixe menu is wonderful. Includes a wine pairing with each course.
