Best Family Style Restaurants in Capitol Hill / First Hill

Ambiance was fantastic, food was delicious, and service was amazing! Can’t wait to go back!

It's always fun to be able to visit Terra Plata. The attention to detail that supports a special experience is immediately evident with the reservation table prepared and ready -- with personalized menus and a 4 top set for two, and centered table setting rather than just a couple removed. The service was professional, engaging, and kind. We enjoyed several items including a well presented and tasty charcuterie, while the blackened cod was interesting and rewarding! :) A lovely 'date night' dinner.

Everything we had was outstanding. The new cabbage salad was unusual but refreshing. The pasta and risotto were better than I have had in great places in Italy. The server was knowledgeable, helpful, and clearly loved working there. And the desserts were delicious. Finally I will say they now make their own bread and it was excellent.

So delicious. So easy. Love this place Totally recommend it

The antipasti was average. Olives were indifferent and eggplant had very little flavour. Pasta was very tasty - butter and truffle, why not. The flourless cake was mediocre to poor. But here's what stood out: the service. Natalie was excellent. It didn't feel like dining in an American restaurant; nobody pestered us for ordering the next course. It wasn't indifference - she kept a close eye on our needs. The gin fizz was well made and wine (recommendations) were spot on.
