    Started with the Hot Huntington sushi roll which was one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had. Really enjoyed the truffle burger with perfectly cooked French fries. My son enjoyed the short rib pasta. Service was spot on.

    Once again. Delicious. We went for Brunch on New Years. The food was delicious. The only thing i think i would add, is that there are no items outside of the brunch menu available. It is a limited menu so if you are a picky eater, you may want to check out the menu first. But this place remains a favorite, for sure.

    Driven by this place for years and thought it was a farm stand/garden center. Finally tried it. Will be back soon! Great brunch and lunch entrees. Haven't tried dinner yet but loved what I experienced. Try the Terrain breakfast and the Dill Bloody Mary is truly unique..

    As always, our dinner was incredible. We had a little bit of a wait but there were enough seats for us at the bar (we were a party of six) so we enjoyed a cocktail along with a couple of baskets of their infamous Parker Rolls. Staff and Management were very apologetic for the wait. Don’t see that kind of attention much these days! Thank you State Room.
