Terra American Bistro 7091 El Cajon Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92115

"Waited 45 minutes for our 7 pm reservation. Only 2 servers on duty? Not allowed to sit at the bar while we waited! Who is running this place? Will not return. The food was rather pedestrian. Parking is really bad too."

"I recently visited Terra American Bistro with a group of about 20 people and unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations. I feel compelled to share my honest feedback to help others make informed decisions. To begin with, the wait time for our pre-ordered food was unacceptably long. Despite notifying the restaurant our orders weeks in advance, we were left waiting for 90 minutes before our food was ready! This delay not only caused frustration but also resulted in our group being late for prom, Throughout our time at the restaurant, we were also disappointed by the lack of attentive service. Our servers failed to check in on us to see how we were enjoying the food or if we needed anything, causing us to feel neglected. Additionally, I was not once offered a refill for my drink the whole 2 hours we were there, which only added to my overall disappointment. In addition, despite its decent quality and taste, the food we received was nothing special and overpriced considering the small portion sizes. We expected more substantial servings, especially considering the prices charged ($30 per person plus 20% auto gratuity). The combination of high prices and inadequate portion sizes left us feeling dissatisfied and disappointed. Considering the unreasonable delays, lack of quality service, and overpriced dishes, I regret to say that I cannot in good conscience recommend Terra American Bistro."

"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."

"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!"

"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."
