Terra American Bistro

The food was fantastic.
For the appetizer, we ordered the mac and cheese.
My wife and I both ordered the surf and turf.
My daughter ordered the butter pasta.
It all tasted very fresh and great flavors.
For dessert, we ordered the banana bread pudding with a bourbon Carmel sauce, and personally, I think it would be better without the bourbon in the sauce, but that's my opinion.
My daughter got the scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it was yummy.
The service was great.

Easily the best burger I've had in San Diego.
Wagyu Tera Burger with Truffle fries is a must. If you're in the mood for an entree like Short Rib or Steak, make sure you start with the Honey Baked Brie appetizer (honestly, the Brie could even be a desert, it's so dang good). Family run, local small business. The staff are welcoming and warm. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego.

I recently visited Terra American Bistro with a group of about 20 people and unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations.
I feel compelled to share my honest feedback to help others make informed decisions. To begin with, the wait time for our pre-ordered food was unacceptably long.
Despite notifying the restaurant our orders weeks in advance, we were left waiting for 90 minutes before our food was ready! This delay not only caused frustration but also resulted in our group being late for prom, Throughout our time at the restaurant, we were also disappointed by the lack of attentive service.
Our servers failed to check in on us to see how we were enjoying the food or if we needed anything, causing us to feel neglected.
Additionally, I was not once offered a refill for my drink the whole 2 hours we were there, which only added to my overall disappointment. In addition, despite its decent quality and taste, the food we received was nothing special and overpriced considering the small portion sizes.
We expected more substantial servings, especially considering the prices charged ($30 per person plus 20% auto gratuity).
The combination of high prices and inadequate portion sizes left us feeling dissatisfied and disappointed. Considering the unreasonable delays, lack of quality service, and overpriced dishes, I regret to say that I cannot in good conscience recommend Terra American Bistro.
