Absolutely phenomenal food. The service was incredible and the prices were more than reasonable. I took my customers here today and they were also thrilled with the quality of the food. The short rib cheese fries were without a doubt, the most delicious thing on their menu. Very excited to come back.
After a terrible experience at a different restaurant where we didn’t even make it through drinks, we were back on the road looking for an allergen friendly restaurant for date night. Terra Nova welcomed us with open arms! The manager on call was super helpful at answering our questions to make sure that the food was safe for my boyfriend, who has dairy and nut allergies. When we got there, our waitress (I wish I knew her name!) was VERY attentive, sweet, and made our experience even better than we imagined. Food was excellent, we got the lobster bisque, brussel sprouts, seafood fazzoletti, and the fire roasted filet mignon and it was DELICIOUS!!!! Highly recommend the brussel sprouts and the filet, 10/10. Drinks were good, food came out hot, and the atmosphere was great. Overall, we came in feeling defeated thinking our date night was ruined, and left with a full belly and smiles. Will definitely be coming back again :)
Fantastic food, fantastic service as well. At first I thought sushi on the menu was an odd mix, but clearly they execute it well. All apps, entrees and desserts were top notch. They had a nice selection of wine and cocktails. There is ample parking, an outdoor dining area and beautiful fountain and landscaping. I had a seafood special of shrimp and bay scallops fettucini, mahi tacos, bourbon mussels and filet. We had Tiramisu for dessert and it was divine. I highly recommend Terra Nova to anyone looking for a great spot to eat or drink! The service seems to be pretty consistent with a professional staff.
Kind of blows my mind that this restaurant also randomly serves decent sushi. Really enjoyed the appetizers and entrees we got although my steak was more rare than requested. My friends got some drinks but didn't like them. So sweet of our server to pack extra bread and salad with the entree I ordered to take home. Will come back to try more of the menu
Just had an amazing evening at Terra Nova! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, thanks in large part to the incredible server Nadia. They truly know how to keep the crowd entertained and ensure everyone has a great time. The dinner menu is fantastic too, with a variety of delicious options to choose from. Highly recommend this place for a fun night out!
Ordered braised beef with risotto. Tender, tastes good. Ordered filet mignon with garlic mash, good. Kids got spaghetti and meatball which they liked and chicken parm which was good. Nice atmosphere.
Terranova is a beautiful restaurant with a very professional staff and honestly amazing food. They have a beautiful room as you enter on the right for small private events or parties. In the back, they also have a sports bar area, which was very lively the night we were there. To the left as you enter there’s a large indoor seating area for eating dinner and I think they even have an outdoor space as well. The restaurant is what you would expect for a clean, well decorated, and what will impress you the most is the professionalism of the staff. Immediately it’s obvious that they put a lot of time into training their waiters and waitresses who are very polite, professional, kind, and knowledgeable of the menu. Are salad and side orders came out within a few minutes, and it was quickly followed by our main course. The food is very well presented. It’s obvious that the details matter and this restaurant but also there’s a casual vibe so it’s a great place to come in just to be yourself but also to enjoy an elevated experience in style and food. I personally have been coming to this restaurant more than 25 years. I’ve experienced my own pre-wedding dinner party and over the years many wonderful meals with friends and family. Definitely has a nice family atmosphere with all age groups. There’s plenty of free parking and if you’re bringing someone for the first time, they will definitely love this place. Highly recommend anyone who loves Italian food but also they have things like sushi on the menu and I can tell you if their sushi is amazing. My most recent visit was to celebrate my third wedding anniversary and we had a wonderful time and a delicious meal.
