    The roof deck and garden on a sunny day make for a great experience. Doesn’t hurt that the food, drinks, and service are all superb.

    Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Being on the rooftop with a warm, gentle breeze blowing was just perfect on a June evening. Felt for the servers running up and down, yet they did it with a smile. The only downside is the tables are too close for comfort, conversation is a challenge if you end up with neighbors who are loud and lack self-awareness

    A Truly Special Seattle Dining Experience! We had an amazing dinner at Terra Plata last night, and I can’t recommend it enough—especially if you’re hosting out-of-town guests! I brought a visitor who was new to Seattle, and the team went above and beyond by creating custom menus that said, “Welcome to Seattle, Jinny!” Such a thoughtful touch that made my guest feel so special. We arrived about an hour early and asked if we could be seated ahead of our reservation—they were super accommodating and got us seated right away. First impressions were warm and welcoming. We started with a few appetizers: the house chips, shishito peppers, beet salad, and the mixto paella. The shishito peppers had a nice kick, but the creamy dip balanced it out perfectly. Everything was fresh and flavorful. For dessert, we shared the churros, which were just the right portion for our group of three—crispy, warm, and delicious. We also enjoyed two bottles of prosecco. The staff was attentive, always making sure our glasses were full and checking in just the right amount. We sat on the rooftop, which was absolutely perfect. The sun was out, there was a cover for shade, and as the evening cooled down, it became even more comfortable. The ambiance really added to the experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend Terra Plata to friends and family visiting Seattle. A memorable evening from start to finish!

    The food was excellent. One of the best preparations of Idaho trout I ever had. Service was fabulous. The atmosphere is so open and charming.

    Stop searching and just make your reservation here and now! This place is located in a very eclectic neighborhood. You can opt to seat in the cozy dining area surrounding the bar or walk upstairs to an amazing rooftop outdoor area. We started with cocktails and then moved onto amazing mains from land and sea. I will be back soon to try some of the small bites and desserts!

    Great evening, fun atmosphere on the roof top. Service was very friendly. Our meal was fresh and delicious and portions were great. Cocktails were visually beautiful, can’t wait to return.
