The restaurant is extremely fun and has a wonderful rooftop dining area. Definitely recommend dining on the roof when the weather is nice. The staff and servers were extremely friendly. Food: Recommend the Shishito peppers and the carrots for starters. The shishito peppers tasted really good with a solid aioli dipping sauce and the carrots were perfectly glazed. read more

Genuinely I never give a local restaurant a bad review, I normally give some feedback for improvement and leave it at that. But this place is not only a complete rip off but it's dishonest. They acted like they had no room for us to have a rooftop spot on our anniversary- when we both called and messaged ahead. And served 2021 wine when they advertised 2019. The rooftop had SO many open spots. I eventually was pretty appalled at this point and asked to be reseated, which our server obliged so that's why I am leaving one star. Our entree came out before any appetizer and it had two pieces of bread, one charred. Appetizers didn't come out till we were basically done with our meal. They mussels were ok but not for the cost and the horrible experience. Shishito pepper and fries came after we were already wanting to leave. Our sangria was weak, entree came 15 min before appetizers and no dessert in the world was tempting enough to stay. Risotto was sadly undercooked, with little flavor. No dish was a stand out in any way, especially with service. I have some amazing restaurants on the hill for a fraction of the cost, and I absolutely cannot recommend this spot if this is how they handle an anniversary dinner on an empty Tuesday night. Go to Taylor shellfish, osteria la Spiga, Liberty, Olmstead, Harry's fine foods or Carello and I can promise you'll have a better romantic evening! read more

Heaven. I'm in heaven. Stepping into Terra Plata transports you from the craziness of First Hill to a tranquil place where the friendliest staff will serve you beautifully crafted small plates with a smile. We had roasted grapes (holy moly), shishito peppers (nom), carrots I'd kill to eat again, an apple salad, and holy smokes amazing churros. Everything was fresh and delicious and the best. Plus good wine and cocktails. And the nicest waiter ever. I'm definitely returning. read more

Terra Plata is always a spot I go to when I'm visiting Seattle. The food is always delicious and the ambiance is cozy! If it's a nice day, request to sit outside on the balcony! I went to Terra Plata last week and it was by far the worst experience. Our food was great but our server was terrible. The whole night it felt like we were being an inconvenience to her. We had to ask her multiple times to have our plate cleaned and when she finally remembered didn't even change our cutlery. Any question we had about the menu she was really short with us and clearly didn't want to help us. The foods great but the service needs improvement. read more

It seems like this place is well loved, but the experience I had here was the exact opposite of all the great reviews. First, they messed up our 7:45 reservation and our table wasn't ready until almost 8:30 so we had to wait awkwardly near the door. However, our server was very nice and friendly. Food and presentation was terrible. We ordered a plate of olives, beets with labneh, fish and chips, and the chicken. The olives looked like it was dumped directly from a jar onto the bowl, beets were not prepared, labneh had no flavor, and the two sets of fries were dry dry dry, while the fish was oily from the inside and crumbly. However, the chicken was the best out of everything. Overall, it's a pretty solid zero star from the food experience, but I'll give them another star for the nice service (and will blame open table for the reservation snafu). And another star for the nice rooftop patio with heat lamps. Covid time dining is tough, but they certainly have an edge with it. read more

Prime location with public parking available right opposite. Ambience was quite good. We sat inside for dinner. Reservations required. Drinks and service were not great. It took 40 minutes for the food to arrive. But it tasted fresh and felt worth the wait. We ordered roast pig, cheeseboard and churros and loved all of them. We definitely go back for breakfast next time. read more

Oh boy, I have been putting this review off for months now. I feel bad for my rating but I cannot give more than 2 stars at this point, so hear me out. My husband made reservations to celebrate my graduation with two friends and my parents on the first hot day of the summer, back in June. They only opened at 4 so we had to go to Starbucks for 1.5 hours until they would seat us, so that was okay. We were sat and all of the sliding doors were open, which would've been fine had it not been nasty outside. Our waters throughout the meal were lukewarm, no ice at all, and we had to keep asking for more because their glasses were small and they serve you individually. Here is where my entire party agrees on why it's 2 stars. My husband was under the impression this was a Spanish restaurant, and since we are born and raised Spaniards, he figured this would be great. This place tries really hard to be tapas oriented, so everything to share. Cool, okay. Their menu is never the same, per the waitress, because they base it on what's locally available, so I can't say you'll be able to go in and try what we had. We ordered the marinated olives and truffle potatoes to begin, the "lechón" and potatoes (which in Spain means you're getting either half a piglet or a full piglet, also please notice that I used the plural of potato...it's important), their chicken, which NOBODY can recall details about, some roasted carrots in a hummus sauce, a pesto mint pasta, and my parents got some dessert because they were in some kind of anti social mood. The waitress told us that each "main plate" would be sufficient to share among 4 people. Olives were definitely different. VERY vinegary, some were bright red and we thought they were fake because we've never seen bright red olives before. They were definitely different. The fries and carrots were served next. These two were quite small in size, so we had to partition them very carefully between us 4. I think some of us got one, and some of us were able to get 2. Taste was fine, interesting to pair along with hummus. Fries and dip sauce were good but again...a small cone for 4. The most disappointing dish of all? The "lechón" aka the scant pieces of shredded pork with literally TWO small potatoes that we had to divide among 4 people. My Filipina friend was loudly disappointed because she too expected what a lechón is...half or a full sized roasted piglet, not the shredded Al pastor mess that we got with the two potatoes. The chicken was also very minimalist and we too had to ask each other, do you want that piece? Want to split that other one? For the prices, this was hugely ridiculous. The only somewhat saving grace was the pesto mint pasta. I absolutely hate mint but guess what? It worked with this dish and we all could agree it was tasty and we could partition it in an almost humane sort of way without feeling like we were in an Oliver Twist play. Don't ask me about the dessert but the "Spanish churros" were cute for trying to be Spanish. Look, I take my nationality very seriously so when we see tapas and Spanish being advertised, you better believe I'm going to be honestly harsh if you're using those words as just bait. I didn't take any pictures because it was such a shitty day, everyone was mad, hungry and hot. The tapeo culture is small dishes that are CHEAP and tasty so you order a lot and the drinks are cheap too. That's the whole point. If you're wanting to charge $30+ for some locally sourced chicken bits plate because you're in a hipster part of Seattle, be my guest, but please don't label it as tapas. One plate MIGHT feed two people but definitely not 3+. I even went to the bathroom and it was hotter in there than it was outside! By the end of our meal the sun had begun to scald us and we had to put on sunglasses. Also, please serve cooler water. Tiny glasses of lukewarm water are completely unacceptable on a hot day. read more

This place is just really terrible. It was really one of the worst experiences I've had with an establishment as far as service goes. It was an extremely hot, sunny day when I came to visit. I understand most people wouldn't be in the best mood but the servers/hostess here are just plain rude and unfriendly. I thought it was really strange that this place heavily promotes inclusivity and the BLM movement, yet I watched the all of the (white, Caucasian) servers here seat all of their white patrons in seating under shade, while the minorities were seated in direct sunlight. I saw this happen with multiple parties and was shocked. In addition, it took a ridiculous amount of time to even get seated. The hostess was unwilling to even acknowledge us. She saw us, rolled her eyes and left to attend to something else. When she came back, she still wouldn't acknowledge us. I think she was hoping we would leave. The policies were inconsistent depending on the party being helped. The servers weren't friendly and seemed annoyed to even serve you. I won't ever visit this establishment again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Hands down one of the best meals I think I've ever had. Between the ambiance, the service, the quality and the taste, this is now up there on one of my top places to dine in Seattle. On top of all that, they made us feel so special for my husband and I's anniversary! read more

I was in town for a conference and to see friends and they suggested we meet here for dinner. We did an early seating (5:45) on a Saturday night. The damp dark fall/winter weather made this the perfect cozy destination. We ended up spending 3 hours trying about half the menu shared amongst 5 of us. We slightly overordered but everything was delicious so cannot complain! I loved the Seattle Raindrop cocktail, and a friend subbed gin and it was as good or better than the standard vodka variety. The baguette was amazing to my bread-loving self! I also loved the brussels, the mussels (such a delicious broth), and the cheesecake and churros were a delight. I would love to come back to try the crudo. Our server was terrific and fun and funny and made it all that extra bit of special. I hope to come again on future visits! read more

My family and recently dined at Terra Plata. They have a lovely rooftop garden, which is located on the second floor. We were lucky to get a reservation for the rooftop garden. The day was warm and gorgeous, which was so nice after a long winter. The sun beat down as we dined, which felt great. They serve farm to table cuisine, which they source from local growers and artisan producers. The dishes are sharable, and they offer a nice variety of starters, mains, and desserts. This was our first time eating there, but we'd been hearing so many good things for years. We started off with an Old Fashioned. To eat we ordered the House Made Potato Chips, the Sea Wolf Bakery Baguette, the Hand Cute Frites, the Tuna Crudo, and the Roasted Grapes. The Crudo had tuna, onions, mandarin oranges, and a spicy sauce on the side. Their menu changes seasonally, so this dish isn't on their website, therefore I'm unsure of the exact description and ingredients. The dish was so fresh and light, but I found the red sauce on the side to be too spicy. The Roasted Grapes were a unique dish I'd never tried before. The grapes came with oil cured olives and walnuts, and they were served warm. The dish was served with crostini and Cabrales cheese. The cheese tasted like goat cheese and was delicious! My boys loved the frites, bread, and chips- who wouldn't? Each dish was well made, and they all disappeared quickly. Our server was on it. She seemed to know what I needed before I asked, and she was cheerful and accommodating. My son had one of their house-made sodas, a Cherry-Vanilla flavor. We got a second round of cocktails. I tried the Seattle Raindrop. It had Vodka, ginger, grapefruit, cardamom, and cava. My husband had a South Bound. This drink had jimador reposado, sage simple syrup, ancho reyes, pineapple, lime, and fireworks bitters. While we sipped our cocktails and tried the different dishes, we took in the pretty views of downtown Seattle and the garden on the roof deck. For dessert, we shared an order of the Churros. They came with some tasty chocolate sauce for dipping! Terra Plata is a destination dining spot and is perfect for special occasions! read more

First time dining at Terra Plata. I love the atmosphere and the roof top dining is perfect for those of us still wanting to avoid crowded spaces due to the pandemic. Our server was awesome!!!

Really 3.5 stars. Per extremely small menu, we got three appetizers: roasted Shishito pepper, potato chips, and charcuterie board. While they were all good tasting, they lacked the jazz that I expect. After all, this is supposed to be the establishment that pair excellent snacks with even better drinks. The menu said the charcuterie to have chicken liver. The chef decided that rabbit liver was really better for us, without asking first. While he or she was correct -- the liver was savory and rich and addictive -- I wished that the server would have informed us about the change of ingredient at the time of the order. The chips were crispy and nicely fried, without over-seasoning like I like. but the dipping was really just plain, so was the aioli for the blistering shishito peppers which, for my taste, could have been a bit more blistering. Ling Cod was well done. But the bedding lentil beans was heavy on the acidity. For desserts, the churros were wonderful. The chocolate sauce has just a hint of kick to be mysteriously interesting. The lemon sorbet, however, was so sour that it should not be counted as a dessert. What kicked this into a 4-star? The COVID preparation! Tables were well spaced, staff were diligent, and guests well behaved. I felt safe here. Given the lack of choices, I would recommend coming here for a good night out, particularly with their wonderful drinks. read more

Short summary: Mostly wonderful food, noisy, but lively atmosphere, uneven service - mostly friendly and accommodating, but let down by fundamentals. We haven't been back to Terra Plata in a few years, and we were really looking forward to going to a nice dinner and then the 8:00 performance of Wicked. Arrived a few min late for our 6:15 reservation. (We were seated and ready to order by 6:35, they were quick, we were slow) Ordered our starter (charcuterie plate - yummy), while we decided on mains. Ordered our mains, and asked for a few extra pickles that my pickle-obsessed daughter spotted on one of the dishes descriptions. We were told "we don't have pickles" just pickled onions, peppers, etc. informed the waiter that we were attending the 8:00 show, and asked if it was going to be a problem. "No problem" was the answer and so we thought we were okay. Charcuterie plate arrived, including cornichons - fun fact: Cornichon translates to "pickle". Our first main arrived - cod with lentils and kale. Cod perfectly prepared, quite good. Extra cornichons (pickles) were brought by the server (thank you!). We finished off the plate quickly and then waited. Our waiter (also the host) cleared our table of the empty dishes after a while. Then we waited some more. Around 7:25 we asked if our other dishes were coming soon, and he replied "you haven't had them yet?". He said he would check. 5 min later he said the kitchen was backed up, and they were working on them. Eventually the manager came by and apologized, our chicken fricassee came out (very good), and we waited some more for our chanterelles which they said they'd comp. At 7:50 we asked again about the last dish, and were told it was coming, and did we want a dessert to take with us (we declined). At 7:55, when we were getting ready to leave the chanterelles came and the manager provided a gift card (unsolicited) to make up for the experience. We took a few big bites (good, but too much lemon, which overpowered the mushrooms), and ran out the door. We made the show with exactly 10 seconds to spare before the door hold! When we got home my wife said she wasn't sure if she even wanted to go back to use the gift card. I'm sure we'll return, but only if we don't have any plans afterwards. read more

Super cute and nice servers but nothing I put in my mouth tasted good and we tried a lot of dished. We had mushrooms (hen of the woods), risotto, cheese platter, house margarita, shishoto peppers, and some mains. Nothing was worth eating or coming back for. Nothing was worth recommending. For those prices, I expect to like something. This place has lost its way. read more

Booked for a group of 12 via OpenTable for Terra Plata, and only discovered I had booked for the wrong day when their staff reached out to confirm the reservation. They were very accommodating and managed to move us over a day with minimal changes to the time. Day of, a member in our party invited an additional 8-10 people (rude). Our waiter, William, was able to finagle an additional table space next to our original group. Food was simply divine. A must to try are the crispy Brussels sprouts, creste di gallo pasta (creamy mushroom heaven), and the local chanterelle and lobster mushroom potato soup (full of depth and flavor). I went with the roasted wild red rockfish - two small fillets served on a base of herb pancakes, this was a delightful blend of ingredients. Note: their menu is most likely quite seasonal, and our waiter recommend the fish. What made the meal was our waiter: William, and the supporting waitstaff. Drinks and food came out in good time (and the rooftop outdoor space was busy,) and we were well taken care of. A must if you're in Seattle. Do make reservations in advance. And Monday is paella night if you happen to be in town. read more

Do not go here if you have food allergies! We were served a dish with a sauce made with cashews and hazelnuts after we specifically let our server know we had severe nut allergies and were assured there would be no nuts in the dishes we ordered (nuts were also not mentioned in the dish description on the menu). Fortunately we had our epipen with us to avoid anaphylaxis throat closure. The manager and server apologized once and said they did not know there were nuts in the dish and gave us a 15% discount. Then they ignored us and did not engage with us after we said thank you and good-bye. So disappointed in the food and experience - we have never had any other restaurant serve us nuts when we let them know ahead of time about the allergy. This place does not take life-threatening allergies seriously. Shameful. read more

Oh lord where to begin...this would have never ever been a place that I would have picked myself. The restaurant is nice and clean. Most of the staff are smiling and happy to be there. Our server was very nice and easy to talk to. The restaurant has a roof top area that is pretty cool. Now let mw get to the food. I'm gonna be very clear...I never ever eat this kind of food. So my palate does not like these kind of flavors. I'm someone that cooks with a lot of sazon. I initially ordered the pasta but it was super fishy. Tasted like the noodles were made in fish tank water. Again...others would probably love it, not me or anyone else in my table. Since I only took a few bites they offered to give me something else so I picked the risotto. That just had no flavor that stood out. It looked like oatmeal and felt like I was eating oatmeal. I'm sure it's a ME thing, so let me make that perfectly clear. The drinks and desserts were super yummy but very expensive. Not worth the money if you ask me. Main dishes averaged 30 bucks and desserts almost 20 bucks. Nope! The best part of dinner was overly priced baguette and drinks. If you're looking for a place that worth your money and your used to food with a lot of flavor I do not recommend this place. If these are all stuff your used to then please come here. Check this place out. It's just not my thing. read more

Went to Terra Plata for the first time on Saturday night! Sat on the rooftop because the weather was beautiful (seems like the feel is a little different inside versus outside and next time, to compare, I'll sit indoors). We were surprised with the potato chips as it was our first time dining at the restaurant and they did not disappoint If you order the roast pig, which was very good, make sure to also order the bread! The bread + sauce combo was fab. Tuna was great and the fennel was a nice touch! read more

Terra Plata has one of my favorite rooftops in Seattle. It's not so much the view here, but it's the setting. Located on Capitol Hill in a corner building by Melrose Market, it's a great restaurant for fare with a twist. I've been here a few times and the place is always packed during peak hours. It's a worth a visit though, so do get your name on the list. And of course for those sunny days in Seattle, sitting on the rooftop is ideal. The space is large enough, with an industrial feel to it. The bites were good. I've only been for cocktails and snacks, which were solid. We had shishito peppers and housemade chips, both of which were delicious and easy to share. I'll have to come back for an actual meal, which I hear is even better. read more

Honestly, we really wanted to like this place. the vibes were super cute and the food was delicious but the service was abysmal. Well the service at the two tables next to us was fine, but apparently once our food delivered we became invisible. No offer for a second drink (we wanted one), no offer for dessert (those churros did look good). Not sure what we did to upset the staff as we were having a good time before they started ignoring us. Three stars because we enjoyed everything we had, we just would have liked the opportunity/attention to order more. read more

A little overpriced for portions, and the dishes were hit or miss - but some were great (mostly the appetizers). But, the location and interior/exterior of the restaurant are great. The menu says that the dishes are designed to be shared, but I personally felt like it was difficult to split, both in preparation and portion. read more

Overall phenomenal meal! Service was absolutely on point. Their upstairs patio/outdoor seating is amazing. It is a little oasis right in the middle of downtown Seattle/Capitol Hill. From the special little touches of making the menu personal with birthday wishes and a candle with dessert Terra Plata is definitely a place to try. As far as the food the only miss of the night for me was the Albacore Crudo dish. It was a good portion size but overall needed more seasoning. The Rags and Tatters pasta dish with chanterelle mushrooms was the star of the night. It was creamy and cheesy and there were plenty of lovely succulent mushrooms. Both the salmon and chicken dishes was also amazing. Both proteins cooked perfectly and has great sauces and accompanying sides. For dessert the chocolate cake was divine. Rich but not overly so. All of there dishes are meant to share so bring your friends/family or just go by yourself but Terra Plata is not to be missed! read more

Oh my stars. I don't even know where to start with this fabulous place from check in to the dine in experience. First of all, I forgot to bring my mask and they were kind enough to provide one for muah. After we were promptly seated, yes, right away and none of the "everyone in the party needs to be here" deal. We were escorted to a beautiful table setup on the roof. Bonus points is definitely on the personalized menu for our group!! The entire experience is further enhanced with great food and coffee. Our server, Josh, was super attentive and friendly. A definite and solid A++ from me. read more

Ordered the Crudo and it came out with a big hair in the middle. Ok, it happens. Audibled to the burger and easier to change out the truffle chips for fries and guess what showed up, truffle chips. Been there a few times over the years but they've slipped and we won't be back. read more

I was shocked by the slow service. I was also surprised that the waiter just "throws" the plate on the table for us. The paella was good (they only service Paella on Mondays) but small. Rice was a bit too moist for me. The salmon was well cooked and charred. The shrimp was tasty. They also messed up our order for the appetizers. We wanted Shishito peppers but they ran out (so fast?) . Then later we ordered piparras & boquerones but the red pepper stuffed with tuna came to us instead (stuffed piquillo peppers). churros was okay. There is parking across the street at an apartment building. It is $7/hour or you can park on the street too. I wished Glasswings was open. Cute shop near Terra Plata. read more

First the service is really good. Our waiter was very nice and personable. We went today because Monday is paella night. What I expected of paella was not what we got. It should serve 2 but it's really good for one person. 2 shrimp. 1 chicken leg and a half dozen mussels and clams. But tons of rice. The rice was good but everything else was just mediocre. Also had the chips, ceviche, and burrata. The dip with the chips is good but the chips alone are bland. The ceviche is decent but lacking flavor and same with the burrata. Overall just not impressed. But ambiance is nice and service is great. read more
