Great food, and service. The bar is a great place to just chill and hang with the friendly staff and catch a game on the TV. Hardly ever have to wait for a table. Also has curbside pickup for those that want to do takeout. The menu is a great mix with something for everyone. Great corner location with plenty of parking. Highly recommend.

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.

I decided to try Terra American Bistro a few days ago. The vibe was great. It was quiet and relaxed. The waiter was knowledgeable and very nice. I ordered a seafood pasta that was delicious! I would definitely go back!!

I had not been to Terra in quite awhile but always remembered them having great food. I stopped in for some drinks and appetizers. I really liked the tuna poke tacos, delicious! Truffle fries are also a win. Good service and nice environment. Easy parking in their lot.

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!

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!

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.

First Visit:
It took 1 hour and 10 minutes for us to receive our food. Once we notified the staff, our food showed up in 10 min. I believed they rushed it as my burger was extremely charred on the outside and RARE inside. Also, one of our plates did not come until 15 minutes after the rest of us received our food. The lady comped our whole bill which was great due to our 1st experience there. We wanted to like this place but it fell way below expectations. However, we would like to try the place another chance as the lady helped us out.
September 16, 2018 Update 2nd Visit.
I still give it 2 stars. The good: Server this time around is much better. He continued to check on us. The bad: long wait time equal to our 1st visit. Took 20 min. to receive my order of latte. Took 40 minutes to receive my food. My wife and I ordered the Chorizo over easy eggs. Both our eggs were cooked and not close to over easy photos below. The server offered to have it remade, but I don't want to wait another 35 minutes. My buddy ordered ice tea, that i believe provide refills, but never refilled.

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.
