    Nice surprise. Could stand to have a few more main entrees or change the menus every couple of months. They did a really excellent job with the remodel giving it a little more class and getting away from using just the typical bar menu. The place was packed when I first came in at 7PM but quiet and emptying as I was leaving around 8:45PM. This is not unlike most restaurants ever since life opened up post covid. The employees no matter their job were all friendly and accommodating. The piano music was a nice touch and just the right sound level because it could be heard and enjoyed yet not so loud that you could not have a conversation. Could stand having a few more lower price wine choices. Not unlike most restaurants wine is too high priced. I know that because I buy wine for home use. Something is way off when for a bill your 2 glasses of 5 oz wines cost as much as your meal. It is for this reason that my first choice of a restaurants is usually a BYOB. Had a nice time and I will return.

    Fantastic! The manager, Suzanna, helped me coordinate the perfect surprise maid/matron of honor proposal for my sisters and it was just a dream come true! The food, drinks, and service are always so spectacular each time. Terrain is my families favorite restaurant on the main line! Thank you again for all of the love and special efforts to making this memory so special for us! I hope to have my bridal shower here!!

    I cannot recommend The Love enough…the food was excellent! Everything we ordered was superb! The drinks were delicious and unique. The service from everyone start to finish was top notch. I really liked the feel and look of this establishment, it’s inviting and warm. The music selection was complimentary. The crowd is a nice mix of people. Clean, spacious restrooms too! I LOVED everything! Can’t wait to go back
