The service was superb and the food was excellent. We had tomatoes with ricotta for an appetizer, Salmon with mushrooms for the main course, and creme brulee for desert.

We came here for dinner as part of a large work event.

On the positive side, the service was great! Our server was attentive, friendly, and had plenty of help throughout the evening, which made a big difference with such a large group. We started with a variety of appetizers, and the meatballs were hands down my favorite. They were absolutely delicious! We also ordered several different entrées, and overall, everyone seemed to really enjoy their meals. My one complaint would be the sides that come with certain dishes. For example, the Chicken Madeira comes with a generously sized portion of chicken, but the side was extremely disappointing. You're told it comes with sweet potatoes, but what you actually get is barely a spoonful of what looks like whipped sweet potatoes. I was honestly surprised by how tiny the portion was! Aside from that, the food was good, the service was excellent, and we had an enjoyable dinner overall. A few improvements to the seating arrangement for larger groups and the side portions would make the experience even better!

The staff checked in several times to make sure everything was good, which we appreciated. The food overall was fresh, tasty, and flavorful. Highlights included the mussels in white wine (delicious), the eggplant stack (good, with hot, melting, tasty mozzarella, though a bit small if sharing), and the bread that came to the table. The Linguine Fra Diavolo with seafood was also delicious -- though we ordered two and one arrived with plenty of sauce while the other had almost none, which kept it from a perfect score. The osso buco special was tender and solid, but the sauce wasn't quite 5-star. We were a little surprised by the $6 charge for an extra portion of the otherwise good bread. Overall a strong experience with great atmosphere and service; just a few execution details that kept it from being flawless.

Both entrees were exceptional!! Bob said the bolognese was the best sauce he has tasted ! The manager, Kasha, stopped by to chat and to make sure we had everything we needed. Kasha also helped bring out take out meals from the kitchen to the take out area. The staff members take a team approach and work well together. We enjoyed a delicious dessert comps that Kyara chose for us. I highly recommend coming to enjoy a beautiful atmosphere and meal. We will return.

It was very casual.. all the service staff that we encounter were very friendly and although they were busy, our server was doing his best to check on us and get us what we need. We did not get any appetizers as we saw how big the portions were coming out of the kitchen for the dinners. We ordered the filet mignon and the chicken Parm with penne à la Vaca sauce I will say the steak was outstanding. I listed in my top three filet mignon that I've had. There is nothing I could say bad about it, and I did not expect this quality of steak from an Italian restaurant. The chicken Parm was an nice size portion and had great flavor with the penny à la sauce. The reason I did not give them five stars is because the pasta that came with it was way overcooked and not al dente. It did have a mushy texture. As for the chicken itself, it had great flavor however, the breading on it was kind of doughy like it had sat in the sauce for too long before it was brought to our table. We are definitely gonna return to this location as we really enjoyed ourselves.

Vibes? Immaculate. Food? Needs work…read more I visited The Terrace Grill on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner, and we had a 7 PM reservation. The birthday girl wanted an "Old Money" aesthetic, and honestly, this restaurant matched that vibe beautifully. The decor is elegant and picture perfect. DO NOT skip the restroom! Sounds odd to say, but trust me, it's Instagram gold. We had so much fun taking photos in there! Our waitress (can't remember her name, sadly) was amazing, super attentive and accommodating. We started off with drinks. One friend ordered the coconut margarita, but the first one tasted off, like the coconut cream or juice had gone bad. Thankfully, our server took it back with no issue, and the replacement was on point. The bartender definitely didn't skimp on the liquor, which we appreciated! I had a similar experience. My first drink, a passion fruit cocktail, also tasted spoiled. Our server swapped it out for the coconut margarita, which turned out great. At nearly $20 a drink, it needs to be right the first time, but I appreciated the quick fix. We were given complimentary bread. Nothing special, but decent once warmed (which we had to request). For apps, we had the octopus and truffle fries. This was my first time trying octopus, and to my surprise, it was actually really good! My friends loved it too. Now for the mains, this is where the night fell a little flat. I ordered the prime rib with mashed potatoes and found it under-seasoned and bland, despite all the rave reviews. Several friends ordered the truffle mac and cheese, and three of them sent it back. It apparently lacked cheese and flavor. On the bright side, one friend ordered the salmon and said it was tasty, and another loved her burger. Customer service and ambiance? A+ Food? C+ at best Parking was simple with several options. Paid street parking, valet, and a garage right next door. Not sure if I'd come back but if i did, it'd be maybe for a drink and the vibes. I'd skip the entrées next time unless the kitchen steps it up. Perfect place to dress up, snap some photos, and enjoy good company just don't come hungry with high expectations for the food. O yeah, we brought a cake for my friends birthday. We were charged a $4 cake cutting fee per person. Someone should of told us that we'd be charged. We didn't know until we received the bill. I didn't like that surprise
