Always a fantastic experience. The food, the vibe and the service are all top in Boston. In addition, we had to add someone to our party and requested a time change. This is a really hard reservation to get so was not expecting the changes could work. The staff could not have been nicer and went out of their way to accommodate. I so appreciate that. Love this place!!

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!

My wife and I reserved the recommended two weeks ahead of time. I was not able to find the exact time we wanted (6 PM) but we were able to accommodate the 8:15. We showed up a little early. Everyone was great. Food was awesome. My wife had the pasta and scallops. I had the rare dish, wild hare. We shared the affogato. All of it excellent!
