    This place was amazing. We made a reservation with only 30 minutes notice. They asked if it was a special occasion. By the time we arrived a short time later they had custom printed menus with our names and happy anniversary. All the staff was fantastic and so friendly. Food was amazing. It was a wonderful experience

    The food was good but although the prices were reasonable, our food quite litterally took almost an Hour to come for just one plate of risotto. They they apparently “messed” it up making it take even longer. It still tasted good and very thing but the service was just not it

    We were first seated near the kitchen even though there were several other empty spaces. I think it is the worst place of the restaurant with all the smell and noise.. close to the stairs.. We asked a change and they’ve done it immediately. But question is why seat your customer there at first place if you value their experience? We wanted to try roasted grapes; which we didn’t like to be honest. No flavor, just hot grapes and black olives. Not worth the money. Baguette was good, fresh, served with balsamic sauce and olive oil. My husband chose hamburger which was delicious, would recommend that. I chose heirloom beet.. which I would say total disaster. Nothing special just beets and a little bit aragula and pecans served in a small plate.. could be part of the appetizer/starter section. Not worth the money. The other interesting thing is their water was warm with no ice.. I would not recommend this place as there are other good places out there with good food that values their customers.

    This place was super slow and the food was mediocre, especially for the price. Most of the food was good but two of the three proteins we ordered were dry and over cooked (salmon and chicken). The tomatoes while good were overpriced. Getting service was tough and when we waive someone down, we’d get the classic “we’re really slammed…” the woman’s restroom was a wreck - one stall was overflowing and the other didn’t lock. The men’s restroom was closed so the line was backed up as well. All in all, we won’t be back.

    We waited over an hour to get the cocktails we ordered, they arrived closer to two hours after ordering. (Not even exaggerating it got to the point it was so ridiculous we were placing bets on how long it would take) Though somehow both large parties on either side of us were served within 30 minutes of ordering. Our server basically forgot us all night. Came here for a special night, having saved up the money for a romantic meal, and left feeling like we would have had a better time just grabbing some cheap food and spending time together. Food was incredible but the service really soured the experience. Would not recommend.

    We were a party of 4 and ate on the rooftop. We didn't have reservation but were seated at one end of a long shared table, which was fine for us. The ambience was wonderful. Service was great. Unfortunately the food was not. Food was not even close to traditional. If you like fusion and creative cuisine, this is the place to go. If not, just enjoy the ambience and the company you are with, and have a favorite snack later. If you only have a table downstairs, then this place may not be worth it.

    I wanted to show European houseguests the best of what Seattle has to offer, Terra Plata's roof top dining experience did not disappoint. The hostess greeted us warmly, and sat us promptly, right on time. As usual, the service was friendly and professional, the food excellent and the al fresco seating lively but not noisy. We enjoyed shishito peppers and truffle chips to start, as well as the best heirloom tomato salad I've had in all summer, perfectly enhanced with herbs grown on Terra Plata's rooftop. Main courses included an excellently flavored salmon, accompanied with vegetables and a delicious green herbed sauce, a delicate and very fresh tasting St. Jude's albacore crudo dish, a perfectly roasted pork dish and a Terra Plata burger. Deserts were all terrific, including a rich chocolate mousse, excellent flan and the best churro's I've had outside of Spain.

    I would not recommend if you are going to a show at the Paramount. Server seemed annoyed that we had to leave by a certain time. Normally would go here for a nice long evening to enjoy their courses, but thought it would be a good choice given proximity. Sitting at bar doesn't seem to expedite service.

    Terra Plata is a great place for good food and drinks. The put the yummy in farm-to-table cuisine. From savery to sweet and everything in between you won't be disappointed. Even the fruit plate tastes wonderful and is presented beautifully. They have a great selection of entrees for brunch. I have not experienced dinner but Brunch is a hit, especially on the roof top deck.

    Fantastic food and service. This is the second time I’ve been here in 3 weeks and the high level consistency is wonderful. The host greeted us enthusiastically and made us feel welcome. The sommelier praised us for our wine choice ( after we had already ordered it; no upselling!) and explained the history and characteristics of the wine. But the best was our server Jenn. So wonderfully enthusiastic and a lot of fun with welcome anecdotes. Oh, and the food was great! Highly recommended.

    Had a wonderful dinner out for my husband's birthday. They printed a special menu wishing him a happy birthday. The service was wonderful, food was amazing, and the view from the rooftop was nice. The only issue I had was that the umbrellas were left I open, so the view was a bit blocked. Overall I would highly recommend for a nice night out.

    Really lovely upstairs patio, but the owner has stuffed as many table as possible into the space. They might as well have long cafeteria style tables with how close the tables are to each other. Each time someone from the tables next to us needed to get up, they knocked our table. Very uncomfortable spot not living up to its potential. Service was fine. Food was meh.

    Came here for brunch. Was very busy on the rooftop, service was standard, nothing exceptional to point out. I got the rose sangria, which tasted watered down. I would recommend ordering something else. My friend got a mimosa and she said that tasted good. For our entrees we got the baked Greek eggs and the pork belly and egg. The Greek baked eggs sounded better on paper, but after they arrived and she tasted it, my friend said she probably would’ve ordered something else. The pork belly and eggs was really good though, would order again. They were accommodating in putting the hollandaise on the side too, which I appreciated. All in all, I felt the portions were kind of small for what you paid, but the ambiance outside on the rooftop was really nice - if it was less busy, I would’ve enjoyed it more.

    We absolutely LOVED our dinner experience on the rooftop of Terra Plata! Our waiter, Jacob, was so helpful and kind. The rooftop is surrounded by herbs that the restaurant uses in their dishes, which is so cool. Even though it was a classic rainy, chilly Seattle evening, we were toasty warm under the heaters and with a tabletop fire pit. The rooftop is covered so it was the perfect way to enjoy the cool weather. It was the perfect date night location and we will definitely be returning!
