    I took some friend/clients for dinner. The night started with a very warm welcoming from Jimmy up front. He is such a great guy. We then were seated at a great table in dining room. Our server was Bobby. He was outstanding and really enhanced our experience. The food , service and ambience was excellent and will definitely be back soon. Jimmy and Bobby are a huge asset to your company.

    The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!

    Always a great time here. Took my elderly mother and she loved it. Obviously the view is the draw. Great way to spend an afternoon. We had the grilled cheese and tomato bisque comfort food at its finest. Our waiter Kellen was great and recommendations were spot on. Will absolutely be going again before Christmas.
