Terra American Bistro - San Diego

I have great respect for Jeff and the entire team. Even though it was their last day operating as a restaurant before transitioning to a full catering service, everyone went above and beyond to ensure that all the guests had a wonderful experience and enjoyed their meals. Thank you for making that evening so special.

We were happy to have our final dinner at Terra last night. We will certainly miss the sense of community created by the staff, as well as David's warmth, attentiveness, and welcoming attitude.

The food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was lovely. Although the service was a bit slow, the meals arrived promptly. They even surprised us with a delicious complimentary dessert for my husband's birthday. I'm really going to miss this place.

The Seafood Ravioli was truly amazing. It wasn't a dish you consume, it was a dish you experience. The tomato soup of the day was incredibly fresh. The Salty and Peppery Calamari was perfectly prepared. The house-infused habanero hibiscus margarita was spicy yet refreshing. Overall it was a delightful meal.

More than the food, it's the staff that keeps us coming for more... Cetacea, David and Kara have turned this restaurant into a community hangout where people feel right at home. I'm saddened to hear their turning this community based restaurant into a takeout catering business. The food is good, but it was the staff and Cetacea's authenticity, kindness and great cocktails that will be missed the most. The only way I'd consider takeout is if the food drops in price. Again, it was the staff that made this local spot a home.
