    Had a lovely dinner on the roof, starting with cocktails and the truffled potato chips, then beets and the lamb riblets - ending with churros and espresso. I was celebrating with a friend as we both had birthdays in January. The restaurant printed our names on the menu given to us - with a sweet birthday card for each of us signed by the chef and all the staff. Service was attentive and with the heaters on and even a lap blanket provided, we were cozy - and feeling so lucky that we had such a terrific restaurant nearby. Highly recommend Terra Plata for both food and atmosphere. I prefer the roof, but inside was quite cosy and busy as well.

    The omakase experience and quality was on par with what I’ve experienced in Japan. The tab ended up being a bit steeper than expected (the 10% tax and 20% service charge on a fine dining bill did hurt a little at the end of the day, came out to almost $600 for 2 with omakase and one small sake bottle) but for our anniversary it made an incredible night. I will be savoring that straw smoked spanish mackerel and medium-fatty tuna sashimi for the rest of the week.
