    We had a wonderful experience on Saturday while celebrating our wedding anniversary. The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. The cocktails were exceptionally well made—some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The handwritten card was a very thoughtful and personal touch. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable!

    A truly fabulous treat from start to finish. Had the 7 course taster menu and every dish was incredible and thoughtfully put together. Service was amazing, the whole team work so hard. There was a lovely little treat for my husband as it was his birthday, very unexpected but that added little touch was so thoughtful!

     Arrived at 12:57 for a 1300 booking to be told quite reasonably it would be five minutes before they could take our order. It was longer than that even though it was obvious we were attending the rugby match at 1445. The order was not taken until 1325 and the food did not arrive until 1357.   We had little time to eat and, plainly, despite benefiting from a rugby weekend, there was no awareness  on the part of the restaurant to cater for the needs of those requiring a pre match lunch The food was good without being brilliant and less memorable than on my previous occasion;  the person serving a table was less than sympathetic to our need to leave by 1410 at the latest

    Dear Brian, Thank you for your review of Terra Mare. Although I'm sorry that you needed to rush your meal in order to get to the game, I must inform you that allowing 1-hour for a table of five to be served a full meal and drinks is a very unrealistic and unfair expectation. We opened at 11.30am especially for the game, as well as provided a matchday menu for large groups; I can assure you that the team were fully aware of the occasion, and did their utmost to serve you as fast as possible. Everything at Terra Mare is cooked or poured on order, meaning it's naturally going to take longer to dine than it would in other establishments. I would recommend that regardless of whether you're expecting to order 1-course or more, to always allow for 2-3 hours before attending an event. - Daf

    Super friendly and efficient staff, tasty food and lovely atmosphere. We sat at the bar for some pre-rugby drinks and ‘small plates’, and all 6 of us really enjoyed it. The staff even called to let me know someone had left their glasses behind.
