   I would love to rate this restaurant but can't because we walked out. We sat for a 630 reservation and ordered sparkling water. 23 mins after sitting, our water came. 35 mins after sitting, we got up and left.The restaurant was maybe half full. NO ONE said anything to us..There was 2 waitstaff and a server and manager that ignored us. We were also guests at the INN. So sad, because we have been going for 25+ years. Menu looks good but no idea how it tastes.

   The Good: The fresh cod fish was excellent! The service was kind and prompt. The OK:  The ambience was somewhat cafeteria like with tables laid out uninterestingly in a large room BUT with lovely assorted light baskets hanging from the ceiling. The Bad: The wild rice under my fish was so hard I was worried about it breaking my teeth so I stopped eating it! The Caramelized Onion Galette was so flavorless it was like eating a plain piece of white bread. The margarita I ordered was tasteless so I requested a splash of Cointreau be added, then a Splenda. 😛 We had to request a candle be put on our unstable table after requesting a shim under one leg. NOTE: I hope the chef/bar will be willing to take some constructive criticism.

   What a disappointment. We are locals and went to Terra Mar because they were offering a contribution to the local Humane Society. We had previously been patrons of the Albion River Inn, their predecessor. What a disappointment! The menu was limited, the food was disappointing and the service was poor. Two of us thought the meal was OK, but not what we'd ordered...homemade chips replaced with spuds? A young man bussing, with a jacket and wool cap, was in not what you'd call appropriate attire. Picking up the glass inappropriately to refill, I wondered where his hands had been. The decor is austere at best and the lighting was so dim, we all resorted to our phones to see the menu. My chicken was too dry to eat and the dessert was awful. As a lovely place to stay, I hope they will survive, but for us, we won't be back.

   With a stunning ocean view, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the restaurant. The French toast was delicious, perfectly sweetened, and just right. Additionally, the chef’s unique flavor combinations in Huevos Rancheros offered an exciting taste experience. Highly recommended!

   Thank you for your encouraging feedback. I absolutely love our breakfast menu, but the Huevos Rancheros are next level for me. My favorite breakfast item! Please visit us again! Tony F&B Manager

   Terra Mar kitchen does not come close to living up to its predecessor when it was the albion inn restaurant. Perhaps they just haven't perfected their fall menu but, I would not return. The chef is trying to make unique dishes, marrying atypical ingredients, but we all felt he missed his mark. The service by Evan was mediocre at best. The rock cod on the Pacific catch was our best choice. The half chicken and pork shank were quite ordinary and not quite there, missing something. The carrot kabocha squash pie just didn't work, though we did like the pear carpaccio.

   Greetings. Thank you for your important and helpful feedback. I'm sorry that the menu execution and service was less than acceptable. I am committed to working with the kitchen and service staff on listening to valuable guest comments and making needed improvements, as well as working to pave a path that will build a positive following in the community, much like our predecessor (who I remember well) established for so many years.

   We enjoyed a wonderful dinner for four at Terra Mar. Great service and fun drinks. Food was inventive and delicious and portions were generous. The remodeled dining room is beautiful and the sunset views amazing. We’ll be back!

   Incredible cocktails and views of the ocean at sunset. Would highly recommend as a pre-dinner spot to grab a drink and admire the views. They appear to be working out some kinks in their new fall menu, but everyone was friendly and we had a nice meal.

    Service was great! We went for our 6 year anniversary and got a 5pm reservation. We were one of 3 tables that were seated and got to have a lovely meal with excellent food overlooking the bluffs and sunset of the mendocino coast. Our server Trevor even gave us some free champagne for the occasion. And let us sit outside by the fire pit while we exchanged gifts and had dessert. It's a lovely restaurant with the best view ever! 10/10 would recommend.
