    Sophisticated Italian dining, quality ingredients and cooking. Some interesting, tasty dishes. I felt the cost of food and wines good value for the quality provided. Excellent service, the waitress knows her job. Room is dark and was quiet as we dined early. Activity at the bar lifted the atmosphere appropriately.

    My friends and I attended Terra Mare for my birthday. There was a birthday card set at the table for me, and a lovely birthday pudding to finish! The waitress was incredibly attentive, and the food was gorgeous. The whole vibe is perfect for a nice evening meal, with the way that the restaurant is laid it out feels so private. 10/10 experience, will definitely go again & recommend people to come.
