- AAndrewWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 24, 2023Service was impeccable, very attentive without being overbearing. Ambiance was nice and the volume was appreciated - they didn't pack in the diners but rather booked tables so we were appropriately spaced and there wasn't overwhelming noise from music, other tables, etc. Food was good, however the breakfast sandwich was disappointing as were the breakfast potatoes - might need to make adjustments there. Frittata and waffles were excellent. Pricing was appropriate. We would come back again.More infoTerra Tempe Kitchen & SpiritsPrice: Expensive• Southwest• Tempe•4.3
