The artichoke appetizer, swordfish main dish, and pomegranate mule were delicious. Our server was great, very attentive, friendly, and made us feel special. I love coming to Cafe Terracotta. It is consistently great.

It was a prix fixe menu. Many of their normal brunch offerings were absent from the menu, like: chicken and waffles or cinnamon rolls. Our reservation was later in the day but it doesn’t excuse the fact that they had run out of soup and our beet salads had zero beets in them. All of us got the beet salad and not one beet. Two of us ordered the salmon and it was delicious but the rice that came with it was luke warm. The slaw with it was very good. My husband had the country breakfast and his was mostly okay. For $42 a person it wasn’t $42 of food nor was it $42 of good food. The dessert was tiny little carrot cakes— petit fours to go. There were three of us and one box of dessert— so who gets the box if we’re waiting to have it? I usually love this place but this was disappointing.

Wonderful Easter brunch! I had the eggs Benedict and a mimosa and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Service and food were excellent. Others in my family enjoyed omelets and were delicious. They started us with a plate of delicious baked goods.

This is our third year in a row coming to Cafe Terracotta for Easter brunch - will be coming next year too! Great service and delicious food, doesn't disappoint. This year we had to book an "outdoor" space and was a little worried since I was bringing my senior mother, aunt and uncle. I called and they reassured me that the space was heated and if they were still chilled, they would have blankets. Well, all my family was warm and enjoyed our time together.

Service was extremely slow. The calamari was not fresh and tough. The braised short rib was also chewy and the lamb special was a mushy mess. Great ambience, but the food needs a drastic overhaul.

Food was boring. Bruschetta, crispy artichoke, chicken pot pie and NY strip. Service was slow but friendly. Wine list by the glass is fine. Nothing was wrong with the dinner- it just wasn’t great. Will not return.
