My brunch Sammy was delicious, but the Shortrib Hash is AMAZING 😉! High quality you can taste. Carla, our favorite brunch server makes the experience complete!
The service , food, and ambiance was excellent. If you live in San Diego or just visiting, Terra Bistro is a must. This is one of the best dining experience I have had ever.
Love this place! The service was wonderful, food delicious and atmosphere perfect for an afternoon lunch with my sisters and mama! We will definitely be back!!
The menu always changes based on what is farm fresh and in season. I always have the best meal here and the service is exceptional! I am never disappointed. A must if you are ever in the East County ❤️
Great food, great, service, and friendly staff!
We're always please dining at Terra
The food is great. I so glad you kept the calamari on the menu but REALLY DISAPPOINTED that you took The cauliflower off the menu. I used to come in and get both with soup and that was my meal. Now I don't see anything that I want to replace the cauliflower so I probably won't be coming in as often.
First time experience was amazing!
The fried cauliflower was scrumptious. My salad with fresh arugula, strawberries and gargonzola was heavenly. And my flat bread pictured was on point.
I cannot forget our wonderful server, Colleen. She was super informative and knew her menu items well.
My wife and I will definitely be going back...soon.
The service was great, very friendly. The food was also very good. Fresh and delicious with quality ingredients. Not overpriced and well worth it. We'll be back for sure.
What is a quaint, quiet with a hint of upscale restaurant? Terra American Bistro is just that. We were looking for a new brunch spot to try and we stumbled across this one. What a great place. Most things are homemade and are delicious. Bottomless mimosas are only $6 here.
When you pull up to this place you think it's closed but it's actually open. The service was good and the food was even better. My girlfriend ordered the bacon and avocado omelette and I ordered the pork scramble. Both were fantastic! The pork in my dish was tender and had nice flavor. Her dish came with homemade ketchup which had a nice sweetness to it.
This was a cute place with a nice atmosphere. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a new place to try.
Another 5 star review goes out to Terra American Bistro! I cannot rave enough about the amazing delivery service and special offerings during this difficult time.
Here's my food recommendations:
- Lobster mac and cheese - I love the rigatoni style pasta and the cheese sauce. It was not overwhelming and the lobster was so sweet and tender!
- Fried Brussels Sprouts
- Salty Peppery Calamari
- Pan Roasted Hanger Steak - tender piece of steak and I don't eat alot of red meat!
- St Louis Gooey Butter Cake - you cannot find this anywhere! I need a tray of these!
- Cast Iron Baked Banana Bread Puddin' - buttery goodness and a must order!
During COVID, all the staff are wearing masks properly and giving us disposable menus, making sure everyone is social distancing. They have outdoor seating and you can tell the owner takes pride in making the customers feel comfortable. Love this place!
Really enjoyed the bar, where I started my evening as I waited for everyone in my party. The service was superb…enjoyed the bartender, she was very friendly. The pork chop I ordered was delicious!
Planning to go back so can enjoy other adult beverages and food on the menu.
My friends and I each ordered different entrees and we agreed that our food was exceptionally good. Service was prompt and friendly and when I called for reservations earlier, the hostess made sure that we got our favorite table.
Kara H was amazing!
The Lemongrass lemonade and Cast iron baked banana bread pudding was delicious.
Will be returning!
Awesome dinner! Nice place, limited parking but very fresh food and great variety! Had the flat iron steak and it was so good with the Yukon mashed (great and garlicky) that came with bonus sweet potatoes and other greens! The calamari presentation was cool, on a piece of flagstone with nice spicey flavour and the st Louis gooey was not too gooey, but so f#cking delicious, OMG, SWEET! You gotta try the st Louis gooey for desert! Nice bar too. Can't wait to go back!
Friendly staff. On sundays bottomless mimosas are $6.50. Farm fresh locally grown veggies, unique ketchup which was yummy, and a country feel with country music in the background. Appropriately fast service. Chicken chorizo and my breakfast burrito had great flavor. No rosemary in the country potatoes was awesome!!!!
We had a fantastic dinner last night. We ordered the special filet mignon, and it was better than any steak night. Also ordered the pumpkin raviolis which is something you have to try when they are on the menu.
Friendly and welcoming this place is the perfect level of class without any snoot. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and drink selections and when it came time to ear the meal was perfect. I had the flat iron steak and I'll just say it, amazing in every way. I highly recommend for a fun date night with the significant other or others.

Yummy!! We went last night for the first time. They were extremely short staffed. Things came out slow, and not everything we wanted, was available. But it was fantastic!! The staff was so friendly and we were told the moment we walked in, ‘the kitchen is backed up and we have 1 server for the whole room’. We had the option to leave. We had time, we stayed and it was just so so yummy! We will definitely be back. We both remarked; if it was this good on a very very off night, we can’t wait to be back, on a good night!
Jeff Rossman and his team delivered an award winning experience for our daughter’s college graduation dinner party of 18. A small team of 2 Flash Gordon Servers, 1 bartender and 1 runner were able to keep our cocktails coming without ever an empty glass at the table. The Roasted Salmon were recommended to have it cooked medium, which means the fish were fresh enough to have it done to our liking. The salmon were so tender and tasty. The 12 hour wine braised short ribs just melted in your mouth with complexed flavors that opened up our appetite. We were surprised to see how clean everyone’s entree plate were consumed - considering we stopped for pizza and beers before showing up for dinner at Terra’s that late noon. Our guests were from San Jose, New Jersey, Minnesota, Texas and Hawaii. Everyone were pleased with their food, and the impeccable service. As we, from Hawaii, would say: “A Big Mahalo” to The Team at Terra’s American Bistro.
Wonderful farm fresh food. Delicious and not run of the mill food. Highly recommend.
I had visited Terra a few years ago for restaurant week and remember enjoying every bite. Today we celebrated a birthday over brunch. The Terra stuffed french toast is definitely the best French toast experience I have ever had. Coated in cinnamon and corn flakes and stuffed with a berry cream cheese, it puts all other sweet breakfast dishes to shame. My friends had a delightful omelet, a very good chorizo skillet (housemade chorizo!!) and chicken and waffles that sent the birthday boy into a state of bliss.
The service was very friendly and inviting. The server took interest in our party and went above and beyond to make it special. Thank you!!!
Terra is a must do for Sunday brunch or dinner anytime!
