About Teca Restaurant and Bar

Teca Restaurant and Bar offers a delightful dining experience with its tasty, well-prepared, and thoughtfully-sourced food. The atmosphere is nice, though not ideal for quiet conversations, especially during busy times when noise levels can be very loud. The professional and attentive wait staff take pride in the chef, menu, and brand, providing excellent service. Servers like Megan have been praised for their outstanding, personable, and professional service, making occasions feel special. Vegetarian and vegan options are available upon request. Outdoor dining is popular, allowing guests to enjoy people and dog watching, particularly on pleasant days when the street is closed to traffic. The restaurant also offers "menu additions" for a unique food experience. The food continues to impress, with seasonal burratta served on pesto with roasted red peppers, capers, olive oil, and balsamic, always with crusty French bread. The 14oz New York strip, asparagus, and whipped potatoes have been highlighted as some of the best meals. Recent reviews reveal that the restaurant is a great choice for special events, such as wedding rehearsal dinners, with a private downstairs room decorated beautifully and filled with a variety of delicious appetizers, including meats & cheese, figs wrapped in prosciutto, the giant meatball, burrata, calamari, and shrimp. The service during these events is highly praised. However, service during regular visits can sometimes be slow or inconsistent; for example, outside service is good, but service indoors may take longer to acknowledge guests. Some dishes, like chicken parm, have been described as overcooked and dry, but other meals, such as arancini and the special seafood, are enjoyed. The bar area provides a nice spot for happy hour, and outdoor seating offers a pleasant environment for dinner or drinks. The food, wine, and specialty drinks, including Nick's espresso martini, continue to receive positive feedback, making Teca a popular choice for memorable dining experiences.
