Terra Bistro

Couldn’t have had a better experience. One of the best meals we have had in recent memory. We got small plates and beers, everything was a win. Staff was super helpful.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. The food was AMAZING! From small plates to desserts it was one of the best meals. On top of the stellar food, the staff was excellent, the atmosphere was nice and they rocked some pretty great music.

From the brewmasters of Edgewater comes Terra Bistro, Terrestrial's long awaited own kitchen. You can usually find parking in the designated spaces in front of the building or along the street in front of the Battery Park Lofts.

Located just west of the original pub, Terra manages to make a block of concrete feel cozy. Part of this may be due to the warmth and easygoing vibes of the waitstaff themselves, who immediately make you feel at ease. The space is big enough to seat both parties of 10+ to casual date nights. The mood is half hipster gastropub, half sports bar but 100% where you want to be.

Happy Hour gets you $1 off their tasty and already modestly priced beers, and some great deals on select cocktails and apps. Highly recommend splitting the Beer Cheese Dip which comes with a quantity of chewy pretzel bites that is simultaneously a plethora and also not enough as the Arnold Palmer butter (not a typo) and beer cheese are addictive. The Lions' Mane Wings are not actually chicken wings, but crisp morsels of mushrooms doused in dukkah. I thoroughly enjoyed stuffing my face with these but if you're expecting for real meat, this may be disappointing.

The large plates are literally quite large. Really enjoyed the mixture of influences tucked throughout the menu within each dish (kimchi, tajin, za'tar) and contrasting sweet and savory flavors within each dish. It's not a place where your chicken tender and fish sticks-loving uncle might favor, but will be a hot ticket for the food-adventurous.

All our food came in a reasonable amount of time, and when we weren't chatting, admiring the cute glasses, or sipping yummy beer, each person had a view of at least one TV screen in the bar - each of which was broadcasting a different sports game.

This place is awesome. They are right off the highway so it’s easy to organize group trips, the atmosphere is fun, and the beer is great being attached to Terrestrial Brewing.
The food is phenomenal for the price, super good value. Everything feels like a little piece of art and it tastes even better than you’d expect. I think I’ve had everything on the menu at this point.

Really enjoyed this beautiful space in a historic building. Went early for beer flights at Terrestrial Brewing (in the same building with nice patios!) and then sat at the spacious bar for dinner and drinks at Terra. Enjoyed the small plates of roasted carrots with pesto and beets with feta. Ordered the large plates - whole branzino with bok choy and Kimchee, and lamb shank with potatoes. Both delicious. Would have preferred the bok choy sautéed or steamed instead of fried. We would have also liked some bread with the lamb to enjoy more of the delicious pan sauce, otherwise all good and a great experience. They don’t have a full wine list, just five or six nice whites and reds by the glass or bottle, and full bar with great cocktails. Looking forward to watching this chef and enjoying the seasonal menus.
