Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Definitely the best halibut. Prices were very reasonable too! Loved the pasta happy hour (the short rib MELTED in my mouth). Definitely make a reservation in advance though because they book up. I can’t wait to come back here. If I had to fault anything, I’d just say our dessert was pretty tiny for the price we’d paid. But other than that, everything was delicious. Parking: We got here at open, so we didn’t have trouble securing a spot, but the lot was pretty small and I could imagine it difficult during the peak of dinner service
Very fancy place for a romantic dinner/date. Great place for a celebration/special occasion. Went here recently to celebrate a bday/engagement and it was a fun night. We sat outside, loved the atmosphere. Food was delicious, I got the shrimp pasta and burrata app. Can’t go wrong with affogato for dessert! And also had a great pink sangria. The wait staff was really sweet too. Everything was homemade and you could really tell.
We are nearby locals and have never heard of this restaurant until my wife’s co worker recommended it. We made reservations for our anniversary and was blown away by the service from the minute we walked in the door. The professionalism, how welcoming and helpful every single person was! Not to mention the detail and thought put into planning our special anniversary dinner with a custom menu and champagne toast they gave us upon arriving. The food was delicious and worth every penny! If I could give them 50 stars I would! Highly recommend! We will certainly be back! Thank you Terrapin staff for an amazing experience!
