We are happy to report that Terra remains one of Napa’s best experiences...
We are always concerned when the owners/chefs of a great restaurant open another place in another city (San Francisco). And when you couple that with the retirement of a terrific long time manager and sommelier, trouble often follows.
But we are happy to report that Terra remains one of Napa’s best experiences, as Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani are on site about 2/3 of the evenings, and the oversight of the wine and other management duties are just fine.
The menu at Terra continues to be a masterpiece of deliciously light Californian and Asian influenced cuisine such as broiled sake marinated Alaskan Black Cod and shrimp dumplings in a Shiso broth; grilled lamb tenderloins with artichoke and mint; and buttermilk fried quail with mushroom sauce and bacon. The wine list is one of those intelligently crafted ones that proves you don’t have to have 3500 selections to win awards. 300 or so wonderful bottles is enough. And the prices of the wines and food, while not inexpensive (the preparation is too involved and the taste too good for that), should not break your bank.
