Terra American Bistro

Terra American Bistro opened this past weekend. My husband and I went there last night. All I can say is "wow". They have turned the old restaurant (cafe luciano...which we loved!) into a very beautiful space. lots of soft light, exposed brick, warm colors etc. very inviting. The food was amazing! we started with a cold cucumber soup and a citrus salad, I had the White Fish and my husband and the jumbolaya which he said was the best he has ever had..... We did not have dessert ( too many sweets over the weekend) but they all looked great. The service was top notch. I am glad the area (and that space which has been vacant for so long) has a great new restaurant. I hope it does well. They do not have a liquor license yet so it is BYOB until then and they have Complementary Valet Parking ( we walked there). Welcome to the neighborhood, Terra. has anyone else been there?

We're thinking about going with a big group on Friday night. Menu looks fine, but uninspired. Anyone been recently?

We went there about a month ago and thought it was excellent - maybe not unusually creative, but the food was well-executed and delicious, and they have nice decor and good service. And not terribly expensive. We'd be happy to go back again.

I saw that this place is now closed. Very sad to hear that. The food was always excellent and the staff very professional and nice too. I have to admit I did not attend very often; just seemed to fall off my radar. it was located really "off the beaten path" and i just kind of forgot about it.

Too bad.
