A great fine dining experience in Thornhill (don't always have to go downtown for fine food) a few girls and I came on a friday night, and the place was packed, even when there was a thunderstorm outside. The waiter had excellent service, was attentive and did not disturbed us too much, but was there when we needed him. The Assorted Appetizer Platter (for two or more people) at $24/person was a bit overpriced for what was inside in my opinion, 1 quail leg, 1 scallop, 1 shrimp, 1 tuna maybe small crab cake? not sure (I think that was about it) so for 2 person $50 for 2 x pieces each. It's a bit overpriced but it was delicious, each and every piece of it. The food was very good, I don't want to get into detail of each but a special mention is that they have the best gnocchi I had ever had (had some bad experiences that made me hate gnocchi forever) but after having it here, I know to come back here for it. they were lightly grilled or pan fried perfectly and the sauce matched it perfectly. there's a great selection of tea and comes with a plate of assorted cookies, I think their dessert menu needs more work/selection, maybe add a baked Alaska, souffle, or something unit. the creme brulee was way too sweet. read more

The service was amazing. The staff was very nice. The Caesar salad was delicious. However the filet mignon and the rib eye was hard as shoe leather and cold. We were celebrating our 61st anniversary and have been customers for many years so we were very disappointed. read more

Came here with my husband for jazz music, the music was nothing special, but foods are very tasty. I will definitely come back again for other dishes. read more

Place is nice and clean. Service was friendly. For was high quality and menu choices were good, especially the wine men. Not two things. For a high end restaurant, there are playing nonstop music with a strong beat, like you went into a Stitches fashion store--awkward and annoying. All, the Asian faces seemed to have been all grouped in one area of the restaurant. Which was weird, and somewhat offensive. read more

I feel awful for giving this negative review, considering I really love this place. The BF's family and I come here for dinner at least twice annually. We normally come here for their weekly sunday fixed price menu - which is well worth checking out. $39 for 3 courses The most recent experience was not on par with the previously wonderful experiences I have had here; which unfortunately were before my pre-active yelp days. So I dearly hope that this review turned out to be a one-off mis-fire for Terra. Because I still honestly don't know what happened that night. The evening started out beautifully - with our starters arriving - not too long after we ordered. I ordered the bacon, jalapeño and lime soup - which was amazing. The flavour of the soup was smokey, spicy and just a hit of sour to awaken the appetite for the entree. Which took way too long in arriving; which kicked off the downward spiral. This was compounded by the wait staff more or less completely ignoring us in this stop gap between starter and main. After lengthy period of time, when I finally caught someone's attention, I had handed them my empty teapot and requested for more hot water - plus asked after our food - shortly thereafter the guy came back and said the food was on the way - before he ran off, I asked after my missing hot water. He said it was on the way - then disappeared. After about 15 minutes, food started to come out and was about to be put down - when the service guy was about to put it down, he got into a conversation with a co-worker at which point he did an about face and walked back into the kitchen with our food - no explanation or anything as to why they were taking the food away... After another period of waiting (which during I still hadn't received my replacement pot of water), we ask again about our food - someone else comes out to explain and apologise about the delay in the mains coming out, as apparently there was a miscommunication - so the kitchen was cooking our orders now (3rd request for hot water gets inserted here) - at which point it has been at least an hour since we finished the starter. After another 5 minutes, the mains finally come out (hooray, but my water still hasn't arrived - insert 4th request) My roasted half chicken is wonderful - but I think my carrot was still raw, because it was Bugs Bunny crunchy - but after the ordeal of trying to get my pot of hot water (which had finally arrived) and main - but I think every little thing was bugging me at that point during the dinner. Dessert went without incident, I just ordered their fruit - but the Bf and his family order the flourless chocolate torte and upside pineapple cake; which arrived hot and steaming. They said it was quite delicious and on par with the past visits. I've already stated what bothered me most about this recent visit - but here is the thing - if you ignore my big fat rant in the middle about massive service fail - Terra is quite wonderful, I would even deem it worthy of the 5 stars everyone else gives it. But unfortunately, this visit rated only 3 stars - because I have to say Terra, I honestly expected better from you - because you normally knock my proverbial dining experience socks off. Side note : the usual embellishments like the palate cleansing sorbet between app. and entree ; as well as the cheese and lavash between entree and dessert were missing. (although I don't know if they just forgot or stopped doing it) read more

I'm going straight to the point and will say I was served great food by an attractive, attentive (and hilarious) waitress. We were a party of 3 and with no reservations on a busy Saturday night were graciously appointed a table after some wait. Waiting for our food however took longer than expected, luckily their (stale and unimpressive) bread and butter kept us busy. I had the crab cakes and the baby arugula salad. Big fan of their Gorgonzola cheese and candied pecans on the arugula salad. They were a bit minimal on the vinaigrette, but the crab cakes were gorgeous. Total bill was a little more than expected considering they charged us $20.00 for a 2 piece jumbo shrimp side. Guess those shrimps must've been blessed by Jesus himself to be worth 10 dollars a piece... Good food. Overpriced. Will be back if someone offers to pay the bill.... read more

Somewhat fine dinning but not too expensive like the other ones in downtown Toronto. The price is a bit high, but the portions are reasonable and the food tastes good! You get what you pay for! read more

Exquisite!! OK first off. Don't expect your bill to be less than a $C note per person. You know you are in the right place by the Ferrari's in front. Now to the important part. Terra is the best fine dining experience you can find in Thornhill and maybe even in the GTA. Attention to detail is fantastic and the servers are very professional and courteous. They all are like that which tells me the management here is top notch. Go for the Ahi Tuna as an app. I have not found anywhere that comes even close. Also found the best tea here... Jasmine (mighty leaf) Special occasion, go to Terra!! read more

That's an awesome place, the service and the attention the details the cleanliness. It's worth every penny! When therefore wedding anniversary and enjoy that a lot! read more

This is one the best stake house in town, very nice environment, excellent service and very good food. Really recommend this restaurant. read more

My husband and I came here for our 1st anniversary and it was perfect! Our server Mike, was absolutely great. His recommendation for wine was exactly to my liking. The food here is AMAZING! I do not eat meat, and there were so many options for me! We started with the arugula salad and lobster and Brie toasty which is to die for!! As my entree I ordered the sea food spaghettini and it was by far the best pasta I've had in the city!! For dessert we ordered the creme brûlée which was perfection. Our bill was very reasonable, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for something special. I cannot wait to go back!! read more

Tired of the overwhelming Asian food options near our hotel in Markham and too lazy to fight the Toronto traffic, my companion and I made last-minute reservations to Terra on a Sunday evening. The restaurant is located in a typical GTA-style strip mall, which made us slightly suspicious as the restaurant advertises "fine dining". However, once we were inside, we forgot all about the exterior. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and noise level was lively but unobtrusive. After we put in our order, we were offered a basket of bread and butter, both at room temperature (good for butter, not so much for the bread). We shared the Caesar salad, which was light and salty (in a good way). The scallop and pork belly appetizer was delicious but the scallops were salty (in a bad way) and we wished the single piece of pork belly was larger. We received a mint and lime sorbet after the appetizers were cleared... it was so refreshing I could have eaten a whole bowl of it! I had the pea and smoked duck risotto (daily offering) and my companion had the rib eye steak. Both entrees were delicious and fair-sized. Our waiter brought us a small plate of cheese (I think it was Romano) and crackers while we checked out the dessert menu but we were too stuffed after our entrees. Overall, the staff were attentive and polite and the food was undeniably good but I do think it's a tad overpriced. Good fine-dining option in the Thornhill area (as the restaurant claims) if you are too lazy to venture into Toronto. read more

Had dinner their for the first time and was delighted with the food and service. Atmosphere is very cozy and the waiters are very nice with a good attitude. The tuna sushi starter was to die for! I had the fish special which was amazing. read more

I attended an intimate wedding here and was blown away. The food was perfectly cooked even on the simple dishes on the menu. My biggest peeve with food is when you only taste one ingredient and everything else tastes like it. Definitely not what happens here, I wish I had more and better words to describe this place. read more

Many restaurants come and go in suburbia, but Terra has been serving fine food for over 15 years and rightfully so. You really don't have to go downtown to have a nice quality dining experience, though there so many more choices. It has been a long, long time since I have been to Terra and my last visit there was pretty good. Terra does a "Sundaylicious" pre-fixe menu for $39 which includes a choice of appetizer, main, and dessert. So I went on a Sunday to try it out. The Sundaylicious menu seem to attract the neighborhood crowd but it was surprisingly not very busy. The items on the Sundaylicious menu were a few selected items from their regular menu and a few specially prepared dishes. For some reason I didn't find the items on the Sundaylicious that inspiring (their menu changes based on sasonal ingrdients, so I must have been there at the wrong time) -- I suggest going with the choices with the supplemental charges, it is well worth it. The kitchen were out of the bison carpaccio, which I was disappointed, however the heavenly rich seared fois gras more than made up for it. Terra's wine list is lengthy with a good selection of bottles of all price ranges. Service was very good and attentive. The food is well prepared and the ingredients are very fresh and good quality. The dishes were good straight forward American/Italian food without any silly ethnic fusions or cliché plating. The amuse bouche at the start of the meal and the sorbetto pallate cleanser before the main were well appreciated. The prices may seem very expensive for a suburban restaurant, but for those living in the York Region area it beats dealing with traffic and parking going to a restaurant downtown and there are very few fine places to dine like Terra in this neck of the woods. So it is actually well worth it. My only gripe is that the decor of the restaurant is looking very tired and dated. Slate floors, multi-coloured glass partitions and knick-knacks, boldly coloured leather and velvet chairs, swirly motifs, venetian plaster walls, and busy lighting looks more like a glorified 90's Starbucks café than a sophisticated relaxing restaurant. Their tapas menu looks really good, so I will probably go back to try it out next time. read more

Definitely the place to go if you want to impress a date! I have been here a few times and I am always more than satisfied with the food here. The soup and salad here are both quite good. As for the mains, I usually go for the Salmon/Fish of the day or the Veal/Steak option. You can't go wrong if you choose these options. The roasted chicken isn't bad either, but I'm just not too big of a fan of roasted chicken. The desserts here are very good, if not amazing. I'm usually not the type that orders desserts much but I make sure to when I eat here. The chocolate desserts are very rich and the creme brulee is made just right. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fancy restaurant with good food in this area. Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 read more

You can't miss its logo, "Fine Dining North of the Core" as they try to advertise it wherever they can but I think they did pull it off. Terra is one of those Italian/American/Canadian fusion restaurants that serves fine dining food (steak, handmade pastas, lamp chops) with the proper dining experience and proper waitresses/hostesses. The price rance was definitely downtown prices but the food was executed well. Our family went last week and we had the black cod, mushroom risotto, and rotisserie chicken and had no complaints. The trick is to go on Sundays only when they have their Sunday-licious menu. At $39 per person, with app/entree/dessert included, its a price you can't beat for good food that is uptown. But on a normal weekday, I'd reserve this place only for a special date or a special occasion... Not a place I'd frequently visit. read more

Birthday Dinner- what a bust! Can't believe this place charges this much for food, especially when I have to ask for some basil for the buffalo mozzarella salad. Service was under whelming and over rated. Not a place i'd visit again... Save your paycheck for better quality service and food! read more

Delicious but extremely overpricing. Yes, the place is nice, the service is friendly. The food is delicious. I agree that I cannot expect the same prices as in KFC. But there are a lot of restaurants offering the same for lower price. I still cannot understand why any coffee (although with adding of liquor) costs $15. Why do I have to pay separately for the stake and for the vegetables to it (almost $20 for several twigs of asparagus and broccolis)? And a small oyster for $5 and a big shrimp for $7 is too much in any case. They brought to each of us a tiny boll of sherbet before the stake, "to prepare the pallet", and then charged about $5 for it. Well we are grateful for the good service but the next time I'd prefer a restaurant of the same class with lower prices. read more

The food and Service were excellent. Our server Andrew was top notch and attentive and the other staff members made sure that everything was served hot and to our liking. I felt the price was a bit high...lets face it the restraunt is in a strip mall in Markham not some posh building in midtown/downtown Toronto. the atmosphere outside Terra is pretty non existant. I had to park around the side of the mall in front of some flower shop/loading door or garbage cans. Pro- My black cod with Miso was amazing. Sides were fresh and not overly cooked or salted. Food presentation was excellent. Service was two thumbs up. con- charging $25 for a small plate of penne with tomato sauce for my child ( I would not have a problem if you made the penne on site). Water was quite expensive. Coffee was served in a Bodum but plunged by the server before it had time to steep. If money was not an issue for me it would be 5 stars no problem. I will go back and try the Sundaylicious prefix another time. read more

Very good restaurant for a romantic dinner I found it expensive so it is a perfect place for special occasion The tuna appetizer is amazing and the service is great Overall great place just a bit overpriced read more

Very nice place! My friend had his 30th bday party here. They set us up in a party room that was separated from the main area, so it felt private, but we could still see the dining room. The food was good. We got oysters, ribeye steak and cheesecake for dessert. Everything was tasty. I took one star off because of the prices. While it's a nice place I think the food was a bit overpriced. I would probably return for summerlicious where you get a bit more value for your buck. read more

Brought our daughter for her 16th birthday. Waited a long time for food. The atmosphere does not call it for family restaurant. The expectation is for adult, couple type. Not a lot of lighting to take pictures. It seems the servants are trying to do their best but for the class of restaurant they don't seem to have the right experience. So don't bother it for family event. The steaks are seasoned and are burnt outside because of the seasoning. The salads are regular. Overall I could pay $450 for 7 people for dinner with no alcohol for much better places than Terra. One last thing. They seem to forget things when we asked them for pepper or extra lemon or other things. Forget about getting them to you. read more

Average fine dining place. Good service overall. The introduction of the daily specials was rushed. Another associate suggested some left-over sword fish. No bread was offered. Steak was tough and not cooked medium-well as ordered. Needs improvement. read more

2nd visit was superb. We explained the problems the first visit and the caring waiter looked after us. A great night with excellent food, wine and service. A happy foodie ending. read more

First time out, celebrating the launch of a new company with my wife. We did have a drink while waiting for our table. The bars staff was switched on and served us quickly. We people watched for less than 10 minutes and caught the jazz 3 piece playing at the perfect level. Not to loud, not too soft. There was a good crowd that evening. I had made reservations earlier in the day, and requested a quiet table in the back somewhere. That's exactly what we got. Tucked away in a nice corner, I had a chair and my wife was on a nice comfortable overstuffed bench. The atmosphere was excellent. Conversation was audible from neighboring tables, but not quite loud enough to hear, unless you actively eavesdropped, which we did. It's as much a part of the experience as the meal! Our server was top notch. He was there at just the right times, he watched our glasses from a distance, and I often caught him scanning his area to see if anyone wanted some attention. Food was spectacular. That's not overstated. I am not unfamiliar with good food. I've paid more for less in the past. As with all things in life, good service makes up for poor food and good food makes up for poor service. We have both excellent food AND excellent service, so the night was magical. The wine list is to die for. They have an excellent cellar. I managed to control myself and had an superb Cabernet recommend by our waiter. It was all I could do not to indulge in the 71 Chateau Haute Brion (don't ask the price). I may go back for it if business does well. Really well. Overall, for my first and only visit so far, I was quite blown away. I will have to reserve judgment further until I can go again. And I will be going again. read more

The way one is treated from start to finish determines the level of overall satisfaction at some venues. Valet service and a friendly coat check started off the evening in a formal way, and elevated my expectations for the meal. Excellent service and a pleasant decor adds to ones experience. Terra offered multilevel seating, dark colours, looks like the crowd is mostly loyal clients of 15 years +. This restaurant serves continental food for companions, grown up or business partners, this is fine dining. As an appetizer I tried the seared ahi tuna. The spicy wasabi sauce cut into the flavours of the tuna however a lovely citric tomato/fruit chutney was paired beside livening the dish without over bearing sweetness. 3 out of 5 My 10oz beef filet cooked to order, medium-medium-well, came hot and tender, with fingerling potatoes and a little jeu. Excellent, 4.5 out of 5 My dessert was decadent and plentiful. 4 out of 5. I would return if I was in this area, perhaps try the octagon steakhouse as there is more to try than space in my mouth. read more

Loved the food always fresh and made to prefection...amazing creme brule...staff is awesome, olive bread is delish...fresh oysters yummm...oh and the drinks!!!! Gotta try the berry martini its heavenly. Good for dates..special occasions or just to eat some good food :) read more

Disappointing evening...ordered 2 main courses and were advised that it would take 40 minutes..within 5 minutes our main course was delivered to our table...one order was acceptably warm while the other order was lukewarm at best.... We notified the server who took the tepid dish and left the acceptable one..... Unfortunately by the time my dinner was reheated and delivered to the table, the first main course was consumed, if we waited it too would be cold....basically i ate my dinner alone as did my sweetheart The food was acceptable however way overpriced for what was received.... read more

The food was good but the service missed the mark. But the worst thing was the "Market Price" on the King Crab legs. Yes, I should have asked first but most restaurants keep the Market Prices inline with the balance of the menu prices. There most expensive steak & crab legs combo with sides was $90, but the "Market Price" King crab legs was $138.00! Completely out of line with the balance of the menu. With this was a side which did not come and we had to ask for. And then we ordered desserts and cappuccino. The desserts came and were finished before the cappuccinos showed up, which we had to ask for again. Too expensive for that service. And the MP is out of line. read more

Service: Quick and relatively friendly. Wait staff was alert and quick, although the manager (who seemed to be the manager) looked me straight in the eyes as we were leaving and didn't bother to say bye. Decor: It was nice for a high end eatery. Dim like a traditional steakhouse with candles. Food: For a restaurant serving $100/person the food was very mediocre. The appetizers had vegetables that were not uniform in shape and size. The complimentary bread had 2 types in the basket, one of which was good and one of which was hard enough to scrape the inside of ones mouth. The lamb was very well cooked to a perfect rare. The chicken was cooked well, being a bit juicy while still having a crispy skin, although it was slightly under seasoned. Some of the greens were not the freshest in my opinion but I could be wrong, it was dark inside the restaurant. The food did come out at a perfect rate though. The wait staff is well experienced and were very alert of their surroundings. Review: I think dollar for dollar there are much better restaurants. The restaurant was nice enough that I would take guests if I wanted to impress them with an expensive menu but I wouldn't take my friends who are foodies. I'd rather pay half the price and get a decent meal. For the same amount of dollars, I could think of 3 better restaurants that I would go to. Another thing that kind of ruined the experience was that we were right near the doors and every single wait staff, manager, and patron walked by our table at least once, which was kind of annoying BUT that was out of their control because that was the table we sat at. I don't care to be nit picky about small details but when they are marketing themselves as a high end eatery, they really need to step up their game. I mean, for that price range, they should be clearing all the crumbs off the table between each course, they should be only serving from our sides and not whichever side is more convenient for them, the food that has been cut/diced should be uniform, and their front of the house management should be at some point in time frequenting the tables to greet their guests. Just my 2 cents. Reason for stars: 3.5 stars. The lamb was perfectly cooked but again, the pieces were nowhere near uniform in size or shape. I think most of the food was cooked well, but I wouldn't called the meal a good bang for the buck. I have dined at restaurants at the same caliber that have had much better presentation and flavor combinations. read more

The main course was good, we had sea bass and veal as mains, both were good with large portions. The service was acceptable but not exceptional. The dining room was cramped and the waitress didn't know the menu very well. We were told the item we wanted on the menu wasn't available only after we tried to order it. Overall it was decent food for the price, but I wouldn't consider it a top-tier restaurant. read more

The service was excellent service first class ! The food was delicious my rack of lamb delicious . My wife and daughter had the gnocci was great but they forgot to serve without truffle oil although it was tasty. The seafood pasta was exceptional . My oysters were very fresh as was the ahi tuna just the right mix of wasabi and seaweed salad ... My rack of lamb was delicious a must . Dessert was great chocolate flourless torte vanilla creme Brûlée and sorbet yum as was the specialty coffees .. Overall exceptional although price was as well ... read more

Since some of us have never been to this restaurant before, we decided to with individual items that we could share and for some, we would order 2 or 3 servings of the same dish. This included appetizers of the Crab Cakes ($19.95), Seared Sushi Grade Ahi Tuna ($18.95), Bison Carpaccio ($19.95) and entrees including the Tomahawk 48 ounce Rib Eye ($75.00), Seafood Spaghettini Aglio Olio ($39.95), Mushroom Risotto ($26.95), Ostrich in medium rare ($49.95), Tiger Prawns ($19.95), Roasted Sea Bass Marinated with Miso, Maple and Soy ($39.95) and one Grilled Centre Cut Provimi Veal Porterhouse($39.95) . All the appetizers arrived at the same time and all of them looked delicious. One of my personal favorites was the Ahi Tuna. Each piece of tuna was thinly sliced and seared perfectly on the edges. There were only eight slices altogether however each slice tasted deliciously. Mixed in with some wakame seaweed, roast roma tomato and chili lime salsa, this dish certainly stood out compared to some of the other dishes present. As noted in their menu, they only selected the center cut which is not only the softest part of the tuna but it is also the part without bone and skin. The Bison Carpaccio was another one of those really good dishes they had served for appetizer. Each piece of meat was sliced very thin just like the ahi tuna. It was mixed with pesto, pine nuts, truffle oil, arugula and with a thin piece of cheese. Putting it altogether, the whole dish felt like it was coming to life. The great thing about this dish was despite the large amount of meat that was present, it wasn't a dish that was going to ruin you for the rest of the evening. The crab cakes came in pairs and stacked one on top of the other. Personally I thought the crab cakes were a little dry and flaky. With their coconut kaffir froth and their mango papaya salsa mixed in the batter, flavor wise it was there however I personally like my crab cakes just a little bit more moist. You can definitely taste the crab meat on the inside and proportion wise they were pretty hefty. The highlight of the night had to have been the 48 ounce Tomahawk Rib Eye. This thing was huge. Although the bone itself was probably half of the overall weight, there was still plenty of meat attached to it. The rib eye itself was nicely seared and the waiters would bring it out to the table in whole so that we could see it and take pictures with it. Then it would go back to the kitchen where the chef would slice it up so that it would be easier for us to eat. The rib eye was fantastic. The meat was cooked to medium rare and in this case that was exactly what we wanted. The meat was soft and tender and nice and pink on the inside and perfectly seared on the outside. There were two large pieces of prawns added to the final presentation. The rest of the entrees all arrived at the same time. The Mushroom Risotto was a nice dish to have although we did have a slight problem with the first batch when one of my colleagues found what looked like a plastic wrapper embedded inside the risotto. The waitress did not put up any fuss at all, returned the risotto back to the kitchen and new one was given to us. The first risotto was actually pretty good. It was nice and moist and not overly salty. The second one was a little bit saltier than the first one but it was still a very good risotto. The Grilled Ostrich fan was very nicely done. Appearance wise it almost looked like ahi tuna with its maroon colored meat on the inside and beautifully seared meat on the outside. The meat was very soft and if you were to ask what it tasted like, I could tell you that it really didn't taste any different than a medium rare steak. Some people will swear by it that there is a distinct taste to ostrich meat but I personally could not really tell the difference. The ostrich also came on with mushroom risotto which was perfect as one mushroom risotto alone wasn't enough to share amongst nine people. With a bit of peppercorn and truffle oil sprinkled on top of the ostrich meat, it was a very tasty and nice dish to have. The tiger prawns were one of my favorite and one of everyone's favorite for the evening. Two large size shrimps marinated in garlic sauce was a huge hit amongst all the guests. The prawns were huge and very tender which is a by-product of how fresh the prawns were. The seafood spaghettini was also a good choice to have and one I would highly recommend. The spaghetti mixed with a large piece of lobster, prawns, scallops, king crab and calamari is a must for any seafood lover. I was really impressed with the proportion size of some of the seafood. Sometimes when you order such a dish and it comes out, everything looks diced and minced inside your food but here at Terra everything was quite the opposite. Basically, you get the whole seafood on your plate. Corners were not cut which was what impressed me the most. read more

Amazing & classy restaurant! A reason to get dolled up and got out for a nice evening. The ambiance was perfect and it's a beautiful place to go for a special date or celebration. I ordered their fish for my main which was delicious and light. And be sure to order their warm flourless melt in your mouth chocolate torte. Omg it's to die for! You will thank me later! read more

My husband and I visited this establishment We are a gay bi Racial couple While waiting in line we were holding hands The host I presume his name was Luigi approached us and asked If we had a Reservation My husband said no He walked away quickly with a very Disgusting look on his face Now this guy was running around like a chicken without a head He was very disorganized didn't know what he was doing He left us standing there for 10 minutes He Then came back and ushered us off to the patio didn't even ask if we wanted to sit inside He basically put us out on Yonge street around the corner where no one can see us We waited another 10 minutes no one came over to bring us menus or even take a drink order Now Luigi returned and informed us that he wasn't comfortable serving our kind of people and asked us to leave Now this establishment we noticed all staff are white no Coloured people I'm not saying that they are Racist But definitely they do not approve of Homosexuality and once again no people of Colour was on the floor My husband and I live downtown Toronto and there are two many gorgeous establishments to dine at Luigi try's to act Posh Let me inform you you don't even know the meaning of the word Class They don't even deserve the one star read more

This place is okay. They do try make everything feel upscale, however the complete restaurant had an overwhelming stench of seafood. Not pleasant for someone who doesn't care for seafood. Service was decent and jazz music very loud. Expect to pay around $120-140 a head for 3 courses and a modest glass of wine. Went with friends. Everyone felt their choice was okay. No one was particularly impressed with anything! Feel that there are many other options with nicer food for less. But I guess you pay for the pretentiousness of this place. Personally I can live without it. read more

Normally, I'm not one to yelp except for really bad experiences but i feel compelled this time. You know the saying "bad news travel fast" i hope this does. I was planning a family event and was looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate. For so called "high end restaurant" the service was terrible. I called and left numerous messages for the event manager and either got either very late responses or none at all." When i finally got through to event manager ( i think his name was Michael), He passed me on to someone else claiming he's too busy and out of town. I decided to go somewhere else. I don't think it's worth giving my business to a place that hires someone lacks good business etiquette customer service. A major part of enjoying a place is the customer service. Though the place appeared nice when we visited, the lack of service is a deterrent. I would not recommend this place for any event. read more

For the longest time, this was one of my favourite restaurants. But a couple years ago I started to find that it was going a little downhill. The food was still really good and so was the service, but something about the food just wasn't as good as it was before. It's hard to pinpoint what the change was. I've been going to this restaurant for years and I have seen it go through a few transitions over the years. I'm hoping it was just a blip and it is back t the wonderful, high quality thornhill restaurant I always loved. There are no enough really good restaurants in thornhill. I would hate to see this one go really downhill. If you've never been to Terra before, I recommend the Gnocchi. They are larger potato pieces that you would see in other restaurants and they are panfried before the sauce is added. It's really worth trying. read more
