   Look, I judge restaurants by the food primarily. So the small things I prefer or don't like about noise, value, or service timing matter, but not that much. Because the food at Terra Plata was really really good. We had one course from each quadrant of the menu (starter, earth, land, sea), and they were all good. We had the albracore crudo (really really good despite finding one pinbone), shishito peppers (normally an afterthought at restaurants - not here, the spices added a lot of depth), and the truffle and mushroom risotto (perfect texture). The land course (portuguese roast pig) was probably the only disappointment because it just wasn't as much of a flavor bomb as we expected from the ingredient's listed and just lacked something special. But it was still quite good, just overshadowed by the other dishes. And finally, the dessert (Basque Cheesecake) was amazing. No store bought pre-made dessert here. Unbelievable texture and the blood orange caramel was perfectly balanced. Tiny notes: the food comes out as it's done, which sometimes leads to awkward timing unless you plan what makes sense to have in what order. The service is good, but the restaurant was busy and you won't have them checking on you often. Not inherently an issue - I would rather have someone bothering me less than more. And we did find a pin bone in the crudo. But overall, it's a place I would recommend to foodies.

   Sylvia did an incredible job recommending dishes and helping us gauge the amount of food for our large group. We went for a joint birthday celebration with my brother and appreciated the customized menu with our names! We left full and excited to come back!

   We sat outside on Feb 15, there were heat lamps everywhere and covered. It was delightful! Sitting outside on a predicted rainy February day and it being warm was amazing! Meal was great! Service was great!

   One of the best meals we've had in a long time! The cocktails were perfectly mixed, and every morsel of food was flavorful and masterfully executed. The shishito peppers, Brussel sprouts and olives were a great way to start the meal. We had four people and four entrees -- the wagyu steak, the black cod, mushroom risotto and mussels. We were blown away by our entrees. We shared the churros at the end and it was the perfect way to finish the meal, given the perfectly portioned sizes. Our server was Sylvia who was funny and entertaining as she provided tips and recommendations. We all had a wonderful meal and I would be happy to come back!

   Delicious food. We had mulled wine, shisito peppers, frites, honeycrisp salad, amazing cod with lentils, the wagyu beef. It is a smaller place, so it does get a bit louder. Close to Paramount theater if you are attending a show.

   We went for our daughter’s 16th birthday and they made a special menu for our table that wished her a happy birthday by name! It was a really neat touch! Roof top deck was great, service was great, food was overall pretty good.

    Terra Plata is one of our favorite restaurants! We have been there many times and enjoy the ambiance and the food. We went there last night and, for the first time, thought our meal was “so-so”. We both had the chicken and both of us thought the vegetables had too much vinegar in the sauce. It was good initially, but then it became overpowering towards the end. We also had the focaccia bread and thought it was so grainy that it resembled cornbread. Even though we were a little disappointed, we still enjoyed our experience and will be back again!
