“A friend and I have regular dinner dates at Terra and we always have a great time! Tonight we had the shishito peppers, Chinese pork belly, snapper and the braised lamb pappardelle followed by the olive oil cake with sweet cream eggplant ice cream. We both agreed it was one of our top meals over the past several years at Terra and cannot wait until our next date! Quality, consistency and service are always top notch, and the one time we tried another restaurant for our date night we totally regretted it and went right back to Terra for our next meetup. Thank you Terra for being so reliable and delivering some of the best bites in the area, you are our gem!“

“Good food, good service, and a clean environment! LT is one of three restaurants our family can easily dine at, given our food diversity in a family of seven. My only wish is that their desserts were of better quality.
Please note that most of the veggies are seasoned with pork , so I wouldn't consider them vegan friendly.“

They were very pleasant and Ms. Dominque took it the extra mile and put all the condiments she thought we would need based on our order without us even asking. Awesome place to get breakfast all around! Thank you!“

“This may very well have been the best burger I've ever eaten. I ordered through Doordash at about 1am, with an estimated delivery time of 50 minutes. Burger Den and my outstanding driver had it at my doorstep in less than 30 minutes. 100% recommend, and 100% will order again. I got the Wake and Bacon double burger with an over medium egg, sautéed onions, fries, and the cheesecake. The whole meal was so revolutionary I left a review on Doordash and went out of my way to leave one on Google.“

“Went there to eat breakfast, and what a surprise to see how it looked. Rug was dirty, needed to be vacuumed, and the ceiling looked like it needed to be fixed. Seen where it had been leaking, it was falling in places, nothing covering light bulbs. The bacon was so greasy that I couldn't eat it. Coffee tasting like it had been sitting awhile.
The bathroom was nasty. It smelled, not cleaned, like nobody cared what was in there. Around bottom of toilet it was filth. Never will go again. Whomever own it just doesn't care. How come health department hasn't done something?“
