Terra Terroir, 10-30-2010
Terra Terroir (aka Terra Grille or the 5 other names it goes by) is a wine bar/restaurant in Brookhaven. It has won many awards for its wine list. I wish I could say the same for the food. DH and I went there for dinner on Saturday. We were immediately greeted by earlier diners streaming out of the restaurant . The opening is very long and narrow, and I nearly had to stand on a chair to let a disabled patron out of the restaurant as there was no where else for me to go. After we walked up to the host stand, it took several minutes for us to be noticed. There was no wait, so we were seated. The waiter took several minutes to come over and take our drink order. He never got mine right. Throughout the meal, he kept bringing me the wrong drink. Thankfully, the busboy was brought me the correct drink after he server would not bring me what I wanted. We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer. It was topped with so many tomatos that the bread was very soggy. I took the topping off, ate it with a fork, and put the bread to the side. The entrees came out while we were half way done eating the appetizer. I felt very rushed. DH ordered the Buffalo meatloaf. He said it was ok but nothing special. I had the Mediterranean pasta with sundried tomatos. It was pretty good although it tasted oily. There was a lot of oil left on the plate when I was finished eating. They tried to clear the plates before we were finished our entrees. I was not sure why as there was no one waiting to be seated, and there were a number of tables open. I hate feeling rushed during a meal. Parking is easy as there are not many other shops open in the evenings in the stripmall where Terra Terroir is located. Service could have been much better. I doubt we will be back.
Pros: Easy parking, good wine selection
Cons: Service is not great; food is overpriced

Unsweet tea. I got water, I got sweet tea, but he wouldn't bring me unsweet. Not that hard, at least I think...
