"I took my boyfriend to Terra in celebration of his birthday. We've been there before on our first date and even then the food was amazing. This time I place the order through open table and noted that I would prefer a table off to the side. When we got there we were seated a quiet table. The service was excellent, our server was very knowledgable and made great suggestions. I had the ostrich and risotto ( which was absolutely divine that I could eat it twice) my boyfriend had the steak which was so tender and flavorful. I would highly recommend this location for anyone looking for fine dining."

"What a beautiful evening and dinner. We were lucky enough to be in the smaller room. The food was outstanding and the service was the best I have ever had in any restaurant. Every single person was on top of their game. Great attention to details. Individual coffee in french press is a great finish. Divided up the shared salads beautifully and they were perfect. The cod was amazing and also the lamb. I will be back. It was my first time at Terra."

"Food was fabulous. It was Mother's Day, so we expected busy, but it was so clogged at the door for almost 20 mins.
The singer was too close to the seating area and so loud it was difficult to have a conversation.
We requested a different table given the noise level and air that was blowing directly, but server did not accommodate,
even though tables were clearing out and available."

"We went with two other couples for their Sunday-licious fixed price special. We had requested a table in a quiet location and we were seated acordingly. A small disappointment was that the sample nmeu on the website had a few more choices than the one we were given. All dishes were delicious, ample to more than ample portions, lovely presentation. Desserts are to die for. Reasonably-priced wines are available by glass or bottle and if you want to splurge there are lots of premium ones to choose from. Unless you have a revenous appetite suggest that you share starters and desserts. It broke my Scottish heart to leave food on the plate."

"As always the service was excellent. I’m not sure but did you change the way you cook your steaks? We always have the ribeye and this time it was cooked perfectly in the inside but the outside tasted burnt, like charcoal. All 3 of us had steaks and we all had this problem. We just figured you cook them differently now. My father didn’t even eat his. Everything else was perfect; we had incredible appetizers and dessert. I don’t think we would ever order the steak again. This was very disappointing since it used to be the best cooked steak in Toronto."

"Our first time visiting the place to try out the Sundaylious menu. Lots of reviews noting the place is pricey but these folks not considering the other upscale restaurants are not provide the same level of service. Food and price wise is comparable to most upscale establishments, however, service would not be even a close second to the service provided by this establishment. Yes, it is pricey but the service and the food (even good portion size) were the absolute best.
The waiter staff could not have done more for us and making our stay very welcome. Only time we had this kind of service were on cruise ship.
if you have not tried this restaurant before, you should call and make reservation for a really treat."

"Had it not been for a gift certificate that we received, we would never have gone to this place. Really for the price, the food is mediocre at best. Nothing really stands out. The food was very salty. The next day, I woke up and my mouth was as parched as the Sahara Desert. When we told the waiter that the food was salty, he merely shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care. Unfortunately, this restaurant cannot compete with similar food offerings in Toronto. It truly pales in comparison. What I did enjoy was the added touches of a palate cleanser and the crostini with cheese at the end of the meal. We will definitely not be making the drive there again from Toronto. :("

"The service was spectacular and the food was prepared perfectly. The servers were knowlegeable with the menu and provided good recommendations. The menu also had a nice selection of food. They even had food that was more ethnic inspired which was nice. I orderd the maple miso black cod and it's one of the best prepared black cod dishes I've had. My boyfriend ordered the rib-eye rare and it was full of flavour and just melted in your mouth. We went there for our "first date" in 3 years and it was definitely impressive. It is fine dining so budget accordingly, however, the food and service combined was worth every dollar spent."

"Valentine day is not the day to go to Terra, even though it used to be. That's not my first time, but probably my last. I had no drinks menu, so I ask for one, instead the waiter ask what did I want, and I said "martini", which he brought me for the price of $15. If I would have a menu and knew how much it is I would never order it. I order halibut, which was no longer available, then red snapper, also not available after 30 min waiting, and finally the weiter just asked me to choose cod or salmon, so I had to quicly choose my mail course, and my husband end up waiting double time for his main course. (Usually in this case most of the restaurants give something on the house: coffee, or cake...doesnt really metter what)."

It is located away from dt area. The waitresses were very helpful and professional when we asked them questions about the menu and wine. Our glass of water filled up often. The main course plates were hot which kept the food in top condition. The atmosphere was wonderful and great for romantic dinner because the noise level is just right.

"We asked for a tasting menu with wines and nothing about the meal disappointed. The pace was great as we had a lot of business to discuss and needed the time. The server watched our table and timed the courses beautifully. The food was delicious."
