Terra was amazing. We had a large group and everyone raved about their meals. Meals we ordered and loved were the Steak Frites, Korean Short Rib Lettuce Wraps, and Chinese Braised Pork Belly. I got the Crispy Eggplant and it was phenomenal. It was actually crispy and not soggy. Desserts we chose were peanut butter pie with a lovely toasted marshmallow topping, a banana bread cake with ice cream and a cookie with Maker’s Mark ice cream. They had some very unusual ice cream flavors and dessert options. Several agreed they were all delicious, but the peanut butter pie was the best. The drink menu was also quite varied. The servers were exceptional and the atmosphere was comfortable yet elegant. If you’re in the Vista area of Columbia, you need to plan a meal at Terra. (I have no pics of the food. We all just dug in)

We were in the area today just as they opened and grabbed a seat and so happy we did. The pork chop was so juicy and flavorful and the squash blossoms were amazing.

Pleasant early Father’s Day dinner at this fine restaurant. The cocktails were excellent. We were a party of five. The lamb Mac was a group favorite; everyone enjoyed it. The house salad with goat cheese was also good. Two orders of the ribeye steak and fries were brought to our table. Perfect medium rare with excellent fries. My scallops were perfect. The lamb entree was also very good. The one thing I would like to add, apart from the excellent food was the time given to us at the table to talk and enjoy the atmosphere between drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert. I was pleasantly surprised that we were not “rushed” out in any way. You don’t see that in many restaurants in the US. I will be returning, for sure

5 ⭐ all around Service was great and the food was amazing. Cocktail/ wine list is unique and interesting. We had the Korean BBQ lettuce wraps, fried oysters, soft shell crab, and steak & fries. All perfectly done and delicious. Highly recommend.

The food was excellent. Our server Jazlee was great! Highly recommend the steak and the flounder. And our desert with in house made ice cream was amazing. Will definitely be returning.

First time at Terra. It was delicious. Everything was tasty. Our apps were Korean short rib lettuce wraps and Brussells Nomi-yaki with fun Bonito flakes effect. All very tasty. For dinner, my husband had Carolina Heritage Farm Pork Milanese and I had the Pan seared Flounder. We both enjoyed the dinner with our sides. It filled us up but not so much we were overwhelmed. It was delicious! We ordered desserts and they were the best and most innovative we've ever had in Columbia, SC. Their dessert menu even had a Filipino dessert called Turon. We ordered the Almond Joy pie and Raspberry Chocolate bombe. They were amazing! We had a friendly waitress who checked on us timely. It was a great dinner and I can't wait to go back!

My date and I had an amazing time. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and helpful. Very relaxed, intimate, grown & classy type of vibe. Only complaint is the parking is terrible as is with just about any establishment located in a downtown area. We will be visiting again in the future!

Nice Columbia restaurant. I've only been here a handful of times over the past ten years, but I've not been disappointed. The service is excellent. The drink selection is excellent. The food is great. If your are an amari fan, this place has a good selection - possibly the best I've found in the city. This is not a weekly date place for us (due to the price), but it fits the bill for an occasional special date option

I dined at Terra and tried the Grilled Swordfish Grenobloise — it was fantastic! The swordfish was perfectly grilled, tender, and flavorful, with a rich Grenobloise sauce that added just the right touch of brightness and depth. The dish was beautifully presented, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. The ambiance at Terra was warm and inviting, making it a wonderful setting for a relaxed, upscale meal. I’d highly recommend this dish to any seafood lover!

First time experiencing this place. The waitresses and the staff are very nice. The food was very pleasing to the eye and tasted well. Be ready to spend over a 100 for a couple especially if you're buying drinks and starters. The only thing is that we weren't told that the goat cheese ball with the salad was extra, we thought it came with it. Hubby did not like it so that was an expense that could have been avoided. Over all enjoyed my dinner.

My boss raved about this restaurant, so I was eagerly anticipating my first visit. I arrived with an empty stomach, eager to explore the elegant, quiet, and mature atmosphere. However, there were a few things that left me disappointed. The waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about the dishes and made great recommendations. She spoke and recommended food as if she were cooking for herself, which was great. But her attire was unkempt and disheveled. Her flannel shirt and disheveled hair gave off a lot of a “I’m not taking this seriously” vibe. It’s important to remember that she’s also handling your food, so her appearance and cleanliness are crucial. The food was okay. We ordered almost every appetizer on the menu, and while they were slow, they were decent. The highlight of the meal was the cauliflower. It was delicious and well-seasoned. The green sauce complemented the cauliflower perfectly, and the charcoal flavor was divine. However, I ordered the salad and asked the waitress for extra dressing. She told me that “you don’t need dressing, dressing is already in it, you just have to steer it.” I informed her that I did, but I still wanted more. I have to mention that I had to eat my salad without dressing because she refused to give me extra. The salad was not free, and even though it had some dressing, it was my salad, and I wanted to eat it how I wanted to eat it. It wasn’t up to her. The main dish was the fish. It was okay. The fish was cooked crispy and flavorful, but the sauce was very pungent and overpowering. The presentation was beautiful, but the execution of the dish pairing of the fish with the bean and the curry was not great. We also ordered a couple of cocktails, and the unanimous consensus was that they were terrible. They were too strong and bitter. I ordered a coyote drink, but it was so bitter and strong that I couldn’t finish it. I requested another drink, hoping for a slightly less refined version, but it was still the same. The only improvement would be adding more sugar. I wonder if the bartender even tastes the drinks. They’re truly terrible. To conclude my rant, I’d consider returning to this restaurant only if I’m craving cauliflower. That was the only redeeming quality of the meal. However, I’ll definitely skip this place in the future.

My partner and I just left this restaurant and I wanted to share our experience because we were looking forward to this and we left very disappointed. I want to start out by saying this was not a horrible experience, the atmosphere and ambience was very romantic and relaxing and the wine was exceptional, what was lacking was in the food and service. I had the scallops and he had the pork chop, all i could taste was salt in my food and his pork chop was unevenly cooked with parts of his pork chop being rare, medium, and well done/ dry. The service felt inattentive and we were there to celebrate my partners graduation and the experience felt unsatisfactory and was not worth the money we spent. We had a gift card that took 100 off and i still feel like we spent more money than what we got.

Ordered some food for pick up. Ribeye steak was terrible. Way overcooked and just not a good pice of meat. Very tough, lots of tissue. Definitely not a $50 steak they’re charging. Atmosphere inside is fine and servers and bartenders are very friendly and helpful.
