    Pappardelle** with side steak and a glass of Italian Pinot Grigio.
    Kim P.

    Staying at the hotel, I was ready for hotel-bar-food. I was pleasantly surprised. Not a lot to choose from which is typical. I decided on a pappardelli with a side skirt steak. The papardelli was delish. A medley of peas, asparagus, tomatoes, basil, grated parmesan, and a pea compote. The lesser cut streak was perfectly cooks, nicely seasoned, and tender. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is a little loud, especially given that they're was only about 20 people in the restaurant. It would be exceptionally loud if it was busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait staff was friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend it, but on a slow night.

    came to Terra for lunch and had the worst steak and honestly service I've ever had. The LONG ISLAND STEAK AU POIVRE was made to be medium rare, but the texture was horrendous. It tasted as if it was pre-chewed, spit out, reformed into a "steak" and then pan seared with no seasonings what so ever. The spinach was also just so flavorless, overcooked and underwhelming. I sat there for almost 45 min, barely eating the fries. No one checked on me. I was the only guest in the restaurant mind you, and there was a lot of side line talking amongst eachother thoug. when the waitress finally came over, she asked if I wanted a box and I said no, the steak was not good. The whole meal was still on my plate. I did offer to pay atleast for the fries because I ate about a quarter of them, The check i received made no sense whatsoever. How is it I'm paying more for trash food and service than I would have if I hadn't said anything at all. No manager ever spoke to me about the food, didn't offer any other options, no apologies nothing. I was also a guest at the hotel that never had in room service, I came down to the restaurant, was sat, and paid for the bad experience there. So what is that Open service fee for??

    The restaurant located in the lobby of the Westin Hotel in downtown Tempe has a very modern dining experience and atmosphere. Parking was good they have valet service and close street parking. I stayed the weekend there and had dinner and breakfast. Dinner experience was ok...I had a great drink ( pineapple martini ) ...was very tasty. The service was great. Server was very friendly and helped navigate the menu. Appetizers were better than the meal! Shrimp appetizer and cheese biscuits were very good. I got the Shortrib which was not good. The meat was very tough to chew. Server apologized and took it away, even though she did try to leave it on my final bill and I told her I would not be paying for it because it was unacceptable and uneatable. Plus I didn't eat any of the food that came with it. I felt like she thought I was going to overlook the fact it was still on my bill and she should've removed it without me saying anything. She did offer a desert since I had a bad experience but they didn't have anything that looked good to me. Breakfast the next morning was better. Server was nice. We got the breakfast tower which is a three choice option per couple that is served and displayed in a caged tower. Very nice looking. Everything at breakfast was good and on point except the bacon which was over cooked. Coffee was ok nothing special. Overall the experience was ok but nothing to really write home about.

    For an 'upscale' restaurant, this restaurant was overwhelmingly underwhelming. I was staying at the Westin Tempe for Innings Fest and during my stay, I had received some food vouchers worth $28/day that could be redeemed here so of course I made sure to use them, right? I dined in here once for breakfast and ordered the 'two eggs your way' and it was as expected. You can't really mess up sunny side up eggs and some pork sausages, can you? Eggs were done right, pork sausages tasted just like expected. During this time, my fried had ordered the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. It looked really good (look at the picture for dine in) but I didn't get to taste it. It looked like two servers worked the morning shift along with a hostess. Our server was underwhelming. If this had been a Denny's or an Ihop, maybe I'd be more okay? But then again, I'd received better service at some Denny's and Ihop, heck even Waffle House that I'd visited in the past. On the second day, only my friend came down to dine in. He told me he had to wait a bit because the hostess was nowhere to be found to seat him. I didn't get any more details than that, but there's that. On the last day, only my friend came down to dine in again. However, I had asked him to get me an order of Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. And when he came back to the room with that order and I was ready to chow down... I opened the box and was sorely disappointed. Look at the picture I posted. It was literally French Toast with some whipped cream. That was it. Nothing like what it was when we had dined in on the first day. Come on Terra. If you wanna be considered an upscale restaurant, then provide upscale service and upscale food.

    Location: downtown Tempe near ASU north campus. Terra Tempe Kitchen & Spirits is a restaurant inside Westin Tempe. Atmosphere: decent size restaurant with modern decors and an open concept where you can watch the staffs prepare food. There are regular and bar sitting. Service: Waiter is recommended to write things down and be more attentive. Our waiter brought out the check with everything charged, and we haven't even received our dessert yet. He definitely forgot to punch in our dessert. He also just let us box our dessert to-go, so minus 1 star for not being attentive. Food: I got the grilled octopus, Atlantic salmon, and orange creamsicle cheesecake. Overall, this place has great food. Very experimental in my opinion. Large portion, so it is definitely worth the price. Grilled octopus: 9/10 the dish very experimental. Smokey bbq taste with touch of sweets and chewiness from the octopus. The combination was strangely flavorful. This appetizer is a big portion. Atlantic salmon: 7/10 I thought this dish was delicious. However, it is too busy. The dish contain a giant salmon, gnocchi, tomatoes, chorizo meats, and this sweet green sauce. I love the gnocchi and the fish, and I find the sour tomatoes, the sweet sauce, and the salty chorizo were super distracting. They take aways the prize item of the dish, which is the salmon. Overall, it's still a good dish. Love the gnocchi. This dish is also big portion. Orange creamsicle cheesecake: 9/10 I love that they make the cheesecake into a shape of an ice cream. The bits of sweet crackers were deliciously addictive. Overall: good restaurant! I'd definitely come back for the food!

    Ricotta Gnocchi with salmon
    Natalie F.

    A little surprised at the sub-4 star rating on Yelp! My colleagues and I had an amazing experience at Terra with excellent food and service. Only note is that it is a little pricey for the portions, but I am pleased with the quality of ingredients. The Grilled Spanish Octopus (4/5) was very tasty and tender! We also enjoyed the From the Tree Flatbread (4/5) as a light bite. The house ricotta was creamy and decadent. Star of the show was the Ricotta Gnocchi (5/5); features again their excellent housemade ricotta, and made for a light yet fulfilling pasta dish. I added a grilled salmon on the side which made the portion heartier. Otherwise, it definitely would have been a little small. The desserts here were amazing. I loved the Strawberry Horchata Panna Cotta (5/5), and the Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake was so creative---shaped exactly like the childhood ice cream! To tie it together, we had wonderful waitstaff who were so helpful in seating and accomodating our large party, and providing recommendations. Thanks for making the experience great!

    Whipped & Pickled
    Kelsey P.

    Really impressed by the quality of food, service, and overall ambiance of this restaurant after stumbling upon it in the area. We started off with a complimentary short rib taster from the chef that was plated elegantly and delicious--a wonderful surprise! We ordered the Whipped & Pickled and Potato Frito Misto appetizers and both were fantastic. I was impressed with the generous portion of goat cheese and toppings and it all paired well with the freshly grilled bread. The Potato Frito Misto was equally delicious--they had a nice array of crispy fried calamari and croquettes and these wonderful small peppers (not spicy) on the side that provided a nice contrast. By the time I had the Bison Meatloaf for my entree, I was getting full, but managed some room for that. Be prepared for a large serving of meatloaf with some delicious mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side. The space is beautiful and sits in the lobby of the Westin, but doesn't feel overly fancy. We received great service and the value of the meal was phenomenal (emphasis on large portions!). Enjoyed a great dinner here, and would definitely recommend it!

    Everything is good here ranging from red meats to seafood. Even basic salads are very fresh. Staff is attentive and helpful. Zia was great. Didn't try a drink but they all looked creatively fun going by! Great open kitchen concept.

    Vegetable Wellington
    Robyn V.

    Knowing I had a staycation at the Westin Mill Ave coming up, I was scouring menus at close by restaurants for something special for our anniversary, and was lucky enough to find Terra Tempe! I made a reservation indicating it was our anniversary, and my vegetarian guy was looking forward to have their "Vegetable Wellington". From the moment we stepped in, the ambience, vibe and chill music are noteworthy, and we were treated with the most wonderful service from everybody from start to finish. Specifically our server LISA made our visit very special and was kind, considerate, professional, and deserves all the praise being given. Since they had changed the menu (to a Fall inspired one) by the time our reservation took place, they had made a note of our request for the Veggie Wellington and discussed it with the chefs, and PREPARED IT IN ADVANCE for him (in case he wanted that over the new vegetarian options). WOW, that's truly exceptional service! Not to mention it was one of the best vegetarian meals he's ever had in his 15 years of this veggie lifestyle. I had the Filet which was also incredible, and swapped out the carrots for brussels sprouts. We had some nice appetizers and they even bought us a dessert of choice to help celebrate - which has Creamsicle cheesecake platter, very unique. See pics of all mentioned, including updated menu. I would give this place more than five stars if I could, would definitely come back and will be referring! Update - went for Sunday brunch the next morning and it was also fantastic, with wonderful service from the very pleasant Samantha. Carnitas Eggs Benedict and pumpkin pancakes, Yum Yum!

    Huevos Rancheros $14
    Warren C.

    I ate here for breakfast a couple times during my stay at the Westin. Service is super slow. On the first day, I waited 35 minutes for a couple eggs - literally could have hopped over to the kitchen area and made them myself. It wasn't even that busy. On the second day, things picked up a little bit. To be fair, everything was very well-prepared, and I was honestly a little shocked at how good everything tasted, particularly the huevos rancheros. Apart from being slow, the service was okay. On the first day, the server stole and forgot about my breakfast voucher and it ended up getting charged to my room, so my company was probably out a few extra bucks. On the second day, they got it right.

    Steak & Huevos Rancheros*
    Alicia M.

    While staying at the Westin, I ate breakfast and dinner on multiple occasions here. Service was always really good! If you're a hotel guest, definitely try the prickly pear margarita and/or mocktail since they're included in the destination fee. I wasn't sure about it at first but it definitely grew on me as the week progressed. We had the Two Eggs Your Way almost every morning and it was cooked differently each time. The ham was really good one morning and not so much the next. The potatoes were overcooked some morning and perfect on others. I tried the Huevos Rancheros one morning and it wasn't good at all. I was craving a waffle one morning and it tasted very basic...definitely not worth $15. For dinner, the Carne Asada Flatbread was almost perfection! I could have eaten it every day. We also tried the Short Rib and Fall Ravioli. The polenta fries that came with the short rib seemed way overcooked. The butternut squash with the ravioli was hard to chew and needed to be cooked more. I actually think that the theme of Terra Tempe is either overcooked or undercooked. This was a convenient option since we were hotel guests but I can't imagine making a special trip to eat here.

    I love this place the food is awesome the menu items offer a great fusion of ingredients all the flavors married together. The restaurant was cozy and very modern The crab mashed potatoes were really good. The server was attentive and made sure we were taking care of.. I was disappointed I had some burnt food on my plate. I would return and give them another chance.

    Filet mignon, super bland
    Whitney L.

    Went for Mother's Day brunch, and was thoroughly disappointed. Pros- kind staff & server, nice environment, good live music Cons- bland, lack-luster food, over priced, The filet mignon tested like it was from Golden Corral

I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

    Loved this place!…read more First, we had to change our reservation, and the host could not have been nicer. On a busy Saturday night, he graciously allowed us to push it back by an hour, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed. The jungle theme, leopard prints, intimate booths, and dramatic overhead lighting created a fun, unique atmosphere. The service was excellent, the cocktails were delicious, and every dish we ordered was a hit. My son said it may have been the best steak tartare he's ever had (although neither of us was a fan of the plantain chips). It was certainly the best tartare I've had in a very long time, with generous chunks of high-quality steak instead of being overly minced. The baked brie dip was outstanding, the grilled oysters were excellent, and my New York strip was cooked perfectly. My only small criticism is that the oyster appetizer came with just three oysters. For a $19 appetizer, I'd love to see at least four. An even number also makes sharing much easier, although my son generously let me have the extra one! Overall, this is a fantastic concept with great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere. We can't wait to come back.

    Our final verdict after dining at Filthy Animal steakhouse in Tempe, Arizona, on a Sunday night…read moreafter seeing The Odyssey at Harkins nearby: High Aura. We called about half hour before and made a reservation by phone. I was disappointed that my first order choice of the Seabass was unavailable and my second choice of lamb chops was also unavailable. Not sure if this is because it was a Sunday night and/or we made the reservation immediately before showing up. They were also out of the Melted Cast-Iron Brie Small Plate that we were excited about ordering for the table. We loved this restaurant because of the dark and jungle-themed interior. We were excited to see the bold taxidermy featuring the large cats combined with the ornate, gold- framed dapper animal art hanging on the walls. Another reason to love this spot: hidden inside is an entrance to a secret cocktail lounge, or speakeasy, called "Drop Dead Gorgeous." We also appreciated the entire restaurant centering around a glowing, raw wood-fire cooking pit. We could hear and watch our entrées being prepared. What we didn't love so much: the items that we would've liked to have ordered were unavailable. The price to portion ratio in the small bites could also be improved a bit. Great service from our waitress throughout the evening. We ordered: - Fire Roasted Bone Marrow for the table (3/5) - sourdough toast, jalapeño marmalade with demi. I was so excited to try bone marrow for the first time. It was interesting. Sort of like a mix between butter and fat from a steak. It tasted really good with the spicy jalapeño jelly and bread provided. I expected us to be warm and it came out cold. Still not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I'll give it a second try - White Oak Grilled Chicken Skewers (4/5) - served with shiso leaves, kimchi, shishito peppers. kosho aioli, lemon aioli, ssamjung for the table - Very yummy. We enjoyed these. We had actually changed our mind right after initially putting in the milk bread order for the table and they brought out the milk bread so quickly that our waitress said she would give this to us on the house. - Milk Bread for the table (4/5) - miso tomato butter, almond & Kalamata. Even though we changed our mind and got this sent to our table accidentally, I would order this again. It was very delicious and it comes out as an adorable little tomato shaped and colored milk bread with the toppings looking like the stem on top. So tasty and everybody loved it. A little small for our party of five. - Lemongrass Half Chicken (5/5) - Caramelized carrots, kyoto roasted garlic, mashed potatoes & jalapeno jam. Hubs loved this. He said everything was delicious and went well together. - Bomba Rice x2 (5/5) - Risotto, shrimp, linguica, chicken, piquillo peppers, green peas, kosher aioli & Parmesan. My son and his girlfriend both ordered this and said it was very good. - Shishito Caesar Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - bonito, charred shishito peppers, ricotta salata, tapioca chicharron & togarashi. My daughter ordered this and said it was very good. - Spicy Peanut & Tomato Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - peanut dressing, heirloom tomato, baby gem, daikon radish, onion, mala chile, whipped queso de cabra & sour nut. YUMMMM What a creative and unique salad! So glad I tried it. It has unique flavors that work well with each other and a crunch. There's also some heat that goes along with the salad. I was able to withstand it. My son would probably say it's not spicy at all. I'll be craving this salad for months to come. - Dad or Daddy Specialty Cocktail - bright, buzzed & stoned vodka, apricot liqueur, Riesling cordial, ginger, lime, topped with Red Bull Peach Edition (White Peach) - Fruity Mocktail - I asked the waitress if they had any mocktails and she asked me what I liked and gave me examples. Based on what I told her she brought me out a delicious fruity mocktail topped with fresh mint. Parking along the street at metered parking or in parking garage nearby. A few streets away from Tempe Town Lake.

Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner.

I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

    We recently hosted our son's rehearsal dinner for 40 guests at The Social Hall and could not have…read morebeen happier with the experience. Since we were planning the event from out of town, having a team we could trust was incredibly important -- and Bailey and the entire staff handled everything flawlessly. Even the decorations were set up beautifully and exactly as we had hoped. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A special thank you to Bailey, the Event Coordinator, who was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was organized, responsive, and made everything feel easy and stress-free leading up to the event and the night of the dinner. The highlight was definitely the Rafter Room -- it was even more impressive in person than in the pictures. The space had a great atmosphere for a rehearsal dinner and made the evening feel really special for our family and guests. Highly recommend The Social Hall for anyone looking to host a private event in Tempe.

    One of the worst DoorDash experiences I've ever had. Social Hall accepted my order, which consisted…read moreof only two items, then made me wait over two hours. If your kitchen can't handle a simple order in a reasonable amount of time, don't accept DoorDash orders in the first place. What's even more frustrating is the complete lack of respect for customers' time. There was no urgency, no accountability, and no reason a two-item order should take longer than two hours. Accepting orders you clearly can't fulfill is misleading and incredibly unprofessional. I won't be ordering from Social Hall again, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else waste their time either. Do better.
