Surprisingly great food. The crab cakes and clams casino are especially good. Great cocktails. The igloos are a really fun and festive vibe. Service has always been great and attentive, but Andrea, in particular, adds her vibrant personality and impeccable service to make it feel like a party.

Always a phenomenal experience at Terrain Cafe. Love the interesting farm to table dishes. The bread brought to table warm, baked in a flower pot, with the soft and creamy butter of the day, is a great way to start your experience. Delectable food,& great service!! Highly recommend

Food, ambiance, value were all great. The ONLY deduction in the star rating is that the service was a little “pressing.” It was a Monday, and there were some (but not many) other clients. My colleague and I had a lot on which to catch up … we wanted a leisurely time over drinks to talk. We had to (politely) ask the waiter to allow us the time before ordering food … twice; we did order drinks, however. The food was spectacular … we will most certainly come again.
