I wish Terra could bring back a vegetarian-focused menu with options for adding meat/fish. As vegetarians we loved that Terra was there when we wanted a special night out with amazing, creative, delicious vegetarian food. I understand the business need for including more meat options for your diners, but it feels like a 180 for us. Really the only choices now for a vegetarian are pasta or pizza mains and a selection of shared small plates. Also, at 7 pm on Sat we didn't think we'd run into... "sorry we sold out of...." including pizza, which even further limited our choices.

Everything was great, except the take home dessert of butterscotch pudding. Very disappointed with texture. Had this a couple years ago and this was not pudding. Far from pudding texture. Sorry for this review. Never been disappointed with The Drake but so disappointed when expecting a dessert worth drooling for in the past.
